A drunk woman dubbed “Train Karen” has been identified and fired after insulting German tourists in a viral video.
Brianna Pinnix, 30, was fired from her recruiting job at Capital Rx after a wild video surfaced in which she got into a heated confrontation with Germans visiting New York City.
The video went viral in early October when the woman started getting angry at passengers on a train while her boyfriend tried to calm the situation, even threatening to break up if she didn’t stop.
During the argument, a seemingly drunk Pinnix told the Germans to “get out of our country” and shouted, “don’t let immigrants take over our country.”
Train Karen was fired after harsh criticism against immigrants
According to The Daily Mail, Pinnix was a senior talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, but lost her job almost immediately after her rant exploded online.
“Our company has a zero-tolerance policy toward prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conducting a review of the circumstances, we took immediate action and terminated the employee in question,” Capital Rx said in a statement.
“The actions and words of the former employee do not represent Capital Rx and we offer our sincerest apologies to those who were hurt.”
Despite the woman’s antics, the German tourists never retaliated and remained in good spirits, although one left his seat in a defensive position when Karen placed her hands on him.
It’s unclear what caused the woman’s drunken outburst or whether her partner left her after this whole ordeal.
New Jersey Transit has condemned this behavior and encourages others to report incidents like this to employees and crew members.
This isn’t the first time Karen’s antics have caused trouble for airline transportation. In January, a woman was exposed and forced to launch a flight because she hoped all passengers would “fall and die”.
