America's most notorious 'Karens' are hiring a crisis manager - he has a stark warning about who is really to blame

For immoderate mediate people achromatic woman, location is small worse successful today's world than being branded a 'Karen'.

Their diva strops, caught connected camera, spark cries of outrage and vitriol usually reserved for pedophiles and rapists.

But now these reviled outcasts whitethorn person recovered an improbable savior.

A situation guidance firm, led by 46-year-old Evan Nierman, is riding to their rescue.

And he has started by taking a changeable astatine 1 of nan astir infamous cases of 'Karen shaming' successful America.

Lisa Alexander, nan 58-year-old CEO who was branded a racist aft asking a Filipino man whether he owned nan San Francisco spot he was scrawling Black Lives Matter connected successful June 2020, is 1 of dozens of alleged 'Karens' Nierman and his firm, Red Banyan, are helping to rebuild their reputations.

Under Nierman's guidance, Alexander appeared connected an section of Dr. Phil successful April, claiming nan incident was simply a 'misunderstanding betwixt neighbors'.

She said she still receives decease threats 4 years connected from nan notorious incident, pinch nan viral communicative destroying her life, business and health.

'I want my life back,' she pleaded.

Nierman believes this is thing each 'Karens' deserve.

What's successful a name?

He is wading into a toxic civilization war.

The 'Karen' meme took disconnected successful nan aftermath of nan constabulary sidesplitting of 46-year-old George Floyd successful Minneapolis, Minnesota, connected May 25, 2020.

During a play of heightened group tensions, nan moniker came to picture achromatic women who carried retired alleged acts of mundane racism.

Often, this took nan shape of calling nan cops connected group of colour while making mendacious allegations astir their conduct.

There was achromatic finance head Amy Cooper, who called nan constabulary connected Christian Cooper, a 57-year-old achromatic birdwatcher who had asked her to leash her canine successful New York City's Central Park.

Miss Cooper falsely alleged that 'an African American man' was threatening her.

Alexander's communicative fits a akin narrative.

But 'Karen' has travel to embody a broader scope of behaviors.

During nan pandemic, nan slur was utilized to picture a vocal number of middle-aged achromatic women who opposed societal distancing.

Most recently, a female successful Willis, Texas, was fixed nan ignominious title aft calling a 17-year-old head astatine a snowfall cone guidelines a 'b****' aft bullying her for a refund.

Their defining principle is 'entitlement, selfishness, a desire to complain,' according to Heather Suzanne Woods, a meme interrogator and professor astatine Kansas State University.

To take sides these group is not a celebrated act.

But, overmuch for illustration a criminal defense attorney, Nierman believes everyone has a correct to a adjacent proceeding successful nan tribunal of nationalist opinion.

Alongside Alexander, he has taken up cases specified arsenic that of Erica Erickson, a 41-year-old female from North Carolina who was hounded retired of Puerto Rico aft neighbors accused her pet rescue halfway of animal authorities abuse, thing she vehemently denies.

Others are documented successful his 2023 book, 'The Cancel Culture Curse'.

Most of Nierman's clients do not want to speak to nan media, scarred by anterior experiences.

They for illustration that Red Banyan run privately, rebuilding relations pinch business partners and neighbors distant from nan prying eyes of nan public.

'In astir cases, these are not group who've done these unspeakable things for which they request to do penance,' he tells DailyMail.com from his agency successful Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

'These are bully group who go nan target of attacks. They ne'er really moreover person nan chance to explicate themselves earlier their careers and their reputations are decimated.'

Judging by his clients' inbox, he has his activity trim out.

'We are watching you racist b****, we will make judge your business will ever suffer,' sounds 1 connection sent to Alexander successful nan aftermath of her Dr. Phil appearance.

'Accuse america and we will impeach you. Burn successful hellhole and we will piss connected your grave,' it continues.

'Lisa, you are 1 disfigured f****** whore,' screams another. 'Have you looked successful nan mirror? You are a earnestly disfigured ****. How connected world did you ever go nan CEO of a skincare company? You filthy, disfigured aged ****.'

There are capable of these to capable a short novel. As foul arsenic they are, Nierman wants them to beryllium made nationalist successful nan dream it will make group 'think twice' earlier they determine to resoluteness disputes by uploading clips connected societal media, which tin quickly stitchery a communicative of their own.

Again, he is successful nan minority. According to a 2021 study conducted by nan Pew Research Center, 58 per cent of U.S. adults judge calling retired others connected societal media will clasp them connected accountable for their actions, while 38 per cent said it punishes those who don't merit it.

Fighting back

Nierman passionately believes Alexander has been unfairly maligned.

The video that led to her downfall shows her and her friend Robert Larkins asking canine walker James Juanillo if he lives successful nan spot he was coating a Black Lives Matter stencil on.

The brace told him he was acting illegally, claimed nan location wasn't his spot and that they knew nan owner.

Unbeknown to them, Juanillo had been renting nan multi cardinal dollar mansion for much than a decade.

The indignant tenant uploaded footage of nan speech to Twitter alongside nan caption: 'A achromatic mates telephone nan constabulary connected me, a personification of color, for stenciling a #BLM chalk connection connected my ain beforehand retaining wall. 'Karen' lies and says she knows that I don't unrecorded successful my ain house, because she knows nan personification who lives here. #blacklivesmatter.'

He later added: 'These are achromatic group weaponizing [sic] their achromatic privilege and casually calling successful perchance lethal consequences connected an guiltless POC [person of color] while they knowingly LIE astir their bonafides. Don't alteration achromatic supremacy!'

The clip instantly went viral and Alexander was met pinch a barrage of abuse.

Denounced arsenic a 'racist', she mislaid business partnerships for her skincare patient LaFace. Larkins, meanwhile, was fired by his finance firm, which released a connection saying that nan 'alleged racism' was 'inconsistent pinch our values'.

The metropolis of San Francisco moreover introduced nan Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies Act - aliases nan CAREN Act - later that year, which criminalized racially motivated emergency calls.

Days aft nan incident, Alexander issued a nationalist apology, saying that she was sorry she had disrespected Juanillo, and that she should person minded her ain business.

But Nierman says nan apology was issued 'under duress' - and she had thing to beryllium sorry for.

On nan Dr. Phil show, Alexander emphasized respective cardinal points.

That she approached Juanillo successful a calm and 'respectful' manner. That, astatine first, she did not spot he was stenciling 'Black Lives Matter' - and that nan connection was irrelevant to nan truth that she thought he was vandalizing personification else's property.

That erstwhile she did spot what he was writing, she said: 'Absolutely, your signs and everything, and that's good, but this is not nan measurement to do it.'

That she had known nan aged proprietor for 15 years and had nary thought he had been renting nan spot retired to boarders - thing Juanillo chose not to mention during their interaction.

Nierman has besides taken rumor pinch media reporting of nan incident. He points retired that articles many times suggested that Juanillo owned nan property, alternatively than rented it, and repeated his declare that Alexander called 911.

Alexander says successful truth Larkins called a non-emergency Neighborhood Watch number.

She has besides claimed that, pursuing nan incident, Juanillo followed them from his location successful Pacific Heights for an hr and a half to their flat successful nan Marina District, wherever he hid down nan bushes of nan car shed adjacent door.

'Milking it'

Juanillo, for his part, said he was 'disgusted' by Alexander's TV appearance.

He has since been progressive connected X, saying he was boycotting 'Dr. Phil'.

'They constructed a communicative that was truthful contradictory to what really happened that day,' he told The San Francisco Chronicle. 'When you've done thing wrong, fto your apology guidelines and past amended your life.'

But Nierman has turned his ire backmost connected Juanillo and nan 'Karen shaming' culture.

'It's clip to fto her move connected pinch her life,' he says, pointing retired that 4 years aft nan incident, Juanillo still has nan clip pinned to nan extremity of his provender connected X.

'There must beryllium immoderate logic that he's chosen to make this nan defining infinitesimal of his full life astatine her expense.

'He surely accrued his Twitter [now known arsenic X] followers significantly.'

Juanillo has 18,600 followers connected X, wherever he describes himself arsenic an 'activist' and 'social justness warrior'.

His personal website displays nan viral video beforehand and halfway of its location page, which besides flogs his services arsenic a speechmaker arsenic good arsenic merchandise depicting nan infamous encounter, including a jigsaw puzzle of his Black Lives Matter stencil for $33.50.

Nierman has nary clip for immoderate of it.

'There's a batch of group retired location who are irrelevant and bask nan truth that they get to beryllium a portion of nan drama,' he says.

'It doesn't look to matter to them that there's a existent personification connected nan different side, whose life tin beryllium wholly upended because they're not consenting to forgive aliases forget.'
