Keyon Harrold Jr. open up regarding their son’s attack and the arrest of
Miya Ponsetto, who falsely accused the teenager of stealing her iPhone.
“I’m happy that she’s been arrested. But that’s only the first step in a very big conversation that needs to happen here in America that has to do with racial profiling,” remarked
Keyond Harrold Sr. “If I had done that, what Miya Ponsetto had done to my son, I’d be in jail now. If I had hurt her in any way, I’d be in jail now. We wouldn’t even be able to have this conversation. As a Black man, every day I walk outside, I have to play the perfect game, almost like throwing a no-hitter just to be believed.”

The SoHo Karen debacle continues. CBS This Morning broadcast the second part of their interview with 22-year-old woman Miya Ponsetto, who was arrested in Ventura County on Thursday hours after the interview was conducted. The so-called SoHo Karen s initial alleged assault on Keyon Harrold Jr., a 14-year-old Black teen, has given way to a PR campaign that her lawyer told Entertainment Tonight was difficult.
Ponsetto was charged Saturday on multiple counts, including attempted robbery and attempted assault.
This portion of the interview was often more fraught than the initial footage released Friday with interviewer Gayle King sighing in seeming exasperation at Ponsetto s conduct.
