A California woman later dubbed “SOHO Karen,” pleaded not guilty to felony hate crime charges stemming from an incident in which she wrongfully accused a Black teenager of stealing her cellphone while staying at a hotel.
Miya Ponsetto went viral on December 26, 2020, after she was caught on camera in the lobby of Arlo Soho, an upscale boutique hotel in New York City, yelling and tackling the 14-year-old son of jazz musician Keyon Harrold to the ground. The pair had been guests at the establishment. Ponsetto claimed that Keyon Harrold Jr. had stolen her iPhone and even tried to get the hotel manager, Chad Nathan, to assist her, only for the phone to be returned to her by an Uber driver shortly afterward.
