In a recent CBS interview that left many viewers stunned, the infamous Miya “SoHo Karen” Ponsetto displayed a startling lack of accountability. Just hours before her arrest, the 22-year-old, known for her confrontational behavior towards a Black teenager whom she falsely accused of stealing her phone, sat down with CBS This Morning anchor Gayle King. This was no ordinary interview; it was a chaotic and frustrating exchange that featured Ponsetto wearing a ‘Daddy’ baseball cap, dismissing King mid-sentence, and making excuses for her actions.
The Interview Breakdown
During the interview, Ponsetto addressed the viral incident involving Keyon Harrold Jr., the 14-year-old son of acclaimed jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold. Instead of offering a genuine apology for her aggressive behavior in the lobby of the Arlo Soho hotel, she described herself as “super sweet” and a “22-year-old girl,” insisting she didn’t mean to hurt the teen. “I don’t feel that this one mistake defines me,” she stated, attempting to downplay her actions.
However, when confronted about the footage showing her attacking the boy, Ponsetto trivialized the incident by saying, “Attacking him how? Yelling at him? Yes, OK. I apologized. Can we move on?” Her refusal to acknowledge the seriousness of her actions was particularly infuriating. When King pointed out that the teenager didn’t even have her phone, Ponsetto rudely interrupted, saying, “Alright, Gayle, enough,” while dismissively waving her hand.
Aftermath and Arrest
Despite the interview’s tense atmosphere, King managed to highlight Ponsetto’s refusal to follow her lawyer’s advice to remove the hat, quipping, “It was an interesting afternoon.” Just hours later, Ponsetto was arrested in California following a collaboration between the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and the New York Police Department. Reports indicate that she initially evaded a traffic stop and had to be forcibly removed from her vehicle by officers. She is currently held without bail pending an extradition hearing.
