SoHo Karen being sued by black dad, son she wrongfully accused of stealing iPhone

Jessica Woods

It was December and SoHo Karen lost her phone. She then accused the first two black people she saw walking out of the elevator at the Arlo Hotel in New York City. Miya Ponsetto, 22, was eventually charged for assault and robbery. It turns out, she left her phone in her Uber ride, she claims, but hotel staff eventually found her phone, allegedly. Now the family she accosted in the hotel is suing her. Keyon Harrold is accusing Ponsetto of racial profiling. Ponsetto ended up tackling Harrold’s son.

She was arrested in California in January. Ponsetto said she accused multiple people of stealing her phone, but lost it on Harrold.

“I consider myself to be super sweet,” she said of herself. Harrold and his family are being represented by Ben Crump who has represented Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Jacob Blake.

“We see this crap happening all the time, but it hits different when it hits home!!! I typically try to keep things positive, but nothing about this video is positive,” Harrold said. “The lady in this video assaulted my 14-year-old son and me as we came down from our room in the @arlohotels Arlo Soho to get breakfast. This person quote on quote “lost” her iPhone, and apparently, my son magically acquired it, which merely ridiculous. This incident went on for five more minutes, me protecting my son from this lunatic. She scratched me; she Tackled and grabbed him. He is a child!!! Now watch it again. This lady is not even a guest at the hotel.”
