Dread it. Run from it. Racist Karens arrive all the same.
This Karen isn’t quite Thanos, but you get the point. No matter where you go, a Karen who just can’t hold her tongue seems to come out of nowhere. Thankfully, there’s normally someone with a phone to catch them in the act.
In this case, the victims are Cecillee Cummings and her nine-year-old son, who are fearful of walking outside of their own damn home because Kathryn Smith, the racist Karen in question, is obsessed with harassing them at their Utah home.
Last week Cummings made a lengthy post on Instagram, writing, “I share this unfortunate situation publicly with hopes of change in behavior. We are located in Murray, Utah. We have been dealing with a very vulgar and harassing neighbor since May.”
She continued, “She walks by our home daily and screams racial profanities at our home calling our 9 year old son a nig**r child or yelling we are disgusting wetbacks or nig**rs aren’t allowed on her street, she spit on our vehicles, camps in front of our house in the middle of the night, messes with our vehicles, paces around in our front and back yard in the middle of the night, chases our son around the neighborhood with sticks and leaf blowers, threatens to have her cats eat our kids, assaulted my pregnant belly stating I shouldn’t bring more children into the world.
While Cummings made this post last week, Utah Karen did not go viral until TizzyEnt (on X and TikTok) posted a lengthy video on social media that showed the multiple interactions Smith has had with the family in which she used racist and discriminatory language.
On various occasions, Smith can be seen yelling racial slurs, including, “Get in your house n***er” and “Stay in your own house n***ger.”
As if things could not have gotten any worse, Smith also allegedly threatened to feed the neighbor’s son to her “Savannah cats from Africa.”
The video posted by TizzyEnt also includes audio of a woman, who isn’t shown on camera, driving down the road yelling the N-word.
Thankfully, since these social media posts, both Cummings and the local authorities have taken action.
According to FOX 13 Salt Lake City, Smith was arrested on multiple outstanding warrants including disorderly conduct, property damage, and assault because she allegedly ripped the Cummings’ garden up and forcibly poked the her pregnant stomach before pushing her.
She was not arrested because of the alleged racial comments she made toward Cummings and her child.
Tyler Aryes, the attorney for Cummigs, says that she has plans to file a civil lawsuit against Smith, according to ABC News. He also claimed that there have been more than 81 recorded incidents of Smith racially harassing Cummings and her family.
