Woman ‘identified’ as ‘Phillies Karen’ responds after viral fight video over home run ball

Two women, Cheryl Richardson-Wagner and Leslie-Ann Kravitz, are on the Twitter chopping block today after being supposedly identified as the infamous Phillies Karen.

People seem to have forgotten etiquette recently, because just a week after *that* CEO stole a tennis hat from a child, we’ve got another story of someone being objectively awful at a sports game. This one occurred on Friday night when the Philadelphia Phillies came face-to-face with the Miami Marlins, with Harrison Bader hitting a home run and sparking chaos at Miami’s LoanDepot Park.

People scrambled for the home run ball, but dad Drew Feltwell managed to secure it for his son’s 10th birthday. Unfortunately, just moments after giving the ball to his kid, the woman now dubbed the Phillies Karen stepped with the beration of the century.

Help identify! Man gets a ball for his son at a Philadephia @Phillies game last night and a woman confronts them and takes the ball from the boy. Come on TikTok, identify this Karen! #phillies #woman #karen #blonde #baseball

“You took it from me! That was in my hands,” she said in clips that have since gone viral on Twitter and TikTok.

The father and son duo were ultimately forced to hand the ball back to the screaming woman, though it did have a happy ending because the boy was able to meet Harrison Bader for an official Phillies goody bag.

Soon enough, the Phillies Karen was identified as either Cheryl Richardson-Wagner or Leslie-Ann Kravitz in yet another case of mistaken identity.

Okay, so is the Phillies Karen actually Cheryl Richardson-Wagner?

Following the viral video, people on TikTok and Twitter identified the Phillies Karen as Cheryl Richardson-Wagner. She was bombarded with Facebook messages as a result, but it turned out not to be her in the beefy clip.

“Ok everyone. I’m NOT the crazy Philly Mom (but I sure would love to be as thin as she is and move as fast)… and I’m a Red Sox fan,” she wrote on Facebook.

To really hammer home the message, Cheryl changed her profile picture to her statement and cover photo to the Red Sox logo.

“Apparently, I am trending on Twitter. I wonder if I will get apologies from all of these people when the real culprit is discovered??” she responded to a friend in the comments.

What about Leslie-Ann Kravitz?

Amidst Cheryl dodging torches and pitchforks on Facebook, a school teacher called Leslie-Ann Kravitz was also misidentified as the elusive Phillies Karen. An employee of the Hammonton school district in New Jersey, people claimed that Leslie was sacked after the video.

“The woman identified on social media as ‘Phillies Karen’ is not, and has never been an employee of the Hammonton Public Schools located in Hammonton, New Jersey,” the Hammonton school district said in a statement.

“Social media and news reports indicating that she is, are incorrect. Anybody who works for our school district, attended as a student, or lives in our community, would obviously have caught the ball bare-handed in the first place, avoiding the entire situation.”

Will the real Phillies Karen please stand up – Cheryl Richardson-Wagner and Leslie-Ann Kravitz, you ladies can stay seated.
