Viral Video Shows ‘Homophobic Karen’ Freak Out on Lesbian Couple in Starbucks
A Starbucks customer has gone viral for going on a homophobic rant and accusing a lesbian couple at the Florida coffee shop of grooming children, causing staff and other patrons to condemn the hateful speech.
The cringe-worthy clip gained major traction on TikTok after it was posted by Cassie Urry on Sunday, garnering nearly 7 million views by Tuesday.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Urry said she and her girlfriend, Lorrin Skrbec, had traveled from Toledo to Miami for a cruise to the Bahamas. Ahead of boarding on March 6, the couple stopped at a Starbucks in Coral Gables. Urry said the environment of the store “felt off,” and it took her a bit to realize that everyone in the coffee shop was staring at one customer.
