Gayle King, and the conversation went in an interesting direction.
CBS released a portion of the interview on Friday during which Ponsetto talked to the host about the day she allegedly assaulted and accused the boy of stealing her iPhone in a New York City hotel. The California native has since been arrested for the incident.

She told the host despite physically attacking the teen on video, she considered herself to be a sweet person.
“I was approaching the people that had been exiting the hotel because in my mind, anybody exiting was probably the one that might be the one that is trying to steal my phone,” she said.
The woman, identified as
Miya Ponsetto, who allegedly attacked and accused 14-year-old
Keyon Harrold Jr. of stealing her iPhone just over a week ago at a New York City hotel apparently has a history of unlawful behavior.
As previously reported by
theGrio, Ponsetto made headlines after Grammy-winning trumpet player
Keyon Harrold posted an Instagram video of her hastily accusing his teenage son of taking her cellphone while in the lobby of the Arlo SoHo Hotel in Manhattan where the Harrold’s were staying.

The video shows Ponsetto lunging at the younger Harrold, demanding he prove that the phone he was holding was not her phone. The elder Harrold defended his son from the woman, all while capturing the incident on his phone.

On Saturday, a white woman frantically accused a Black teen of stealing her iPhone at a New York City hotel, only to discover moments later that it was left behind in an Uber.
The teen is the son of Grammy-award winning trumpet player Keyon Harrold, who captured the incident of the woman lunging at him and his son on video.
In the video, posted on Harrold’s Instagram page, the unidentified woman is seen urgently telling the hotel manager that the 14-year-old had taken her phone. As the teenager said, “this is my phone,” Harrold intervened, telling him: “You don’t have to explain nothing to her.”
