The parents of Keyon Harrold Jr. are speaking out after Miya Ponsetto, the so-called SoHo Karen, apologized in a recent interview with Gayle King for attacking their son.
“I feel like her apology was as genuine as when she shushed you,” jazz musician Keyon Harrold Sr. told King referring to a controversial moment during her interview with Ponsetto, who at one point raised her hand and said, “Enough.”
“It said a lot,” Harrold Sr. added. “I have an issue with the idea of entitlement versus character. It’s all been tragically consistent. I’ll just say that.”
Harrold Sr. and Kat Rodriguez opened up to King in an interview that aired Monday on “CBS This Morning,” along with the second part of King’s chat with Ponsetto. During their discussion, Harrold Sr. said he was “happy” Ponsetto was arrested last week after she was caught on video tackling and falsely accusing his 14-year-old son of stealing her phone in a New York hotel.
