All the women falsely identified as the ‘Phillies Karen’ as the hunt for her continues

Since the Phillies Karen went viral this weekend, a number of women have found themselves falsely identified as the person in the video. It’s a bad day when the internet is coming for you thinking you stole a baseball from a child.

The clip started to blow up after the game on Saturday. The Philadelphia Phillies hit a home run into the crowd, and father Drew Feltwell ran to retrieve the baseball and gave it to his son. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a woman ran over a demanded the ball was hers. She screamed and shouted, before Drew reluctantly handed the ball over. She was dubbed the “Phillies Karen” because of her wild reaction.

Now, the woman has been offered $5k to return the ball, but she needs to come forward first. As the mystery to her identity continues, here are all the women who have been wrongly identified as the Phillies Karen.

Cheryl Richardson-Wagner

The first person to get identified as the Phillies Karen was a woman named Cheryl Richardson-Wagner. She quickly spoke out to rubbish the rumours. She’s a good sport! Cheryl stated she simply can’t be the Phillies Karen because she is in fact a Red Sox fan. I mean, you can’t say fairer than that.

Twitter wrongly identified her as the woman in the clip, and she was bombarded with messages. “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,” Cheryl wrote on Facebook.

Up next was an innocent school teacher named Leslie Ann Kravitz. A viral post said: “The Phillies Karen has been identified and fired from her job. She was a school administrator in New Jersey school district and students have been flooding her Facebook page with hateful messages, and she is not welcome to return to her position.”

After Leslie-Ann was identified, the school she works for was forced to release a statement to defend her name. The Hammonton School District said: “The woman identified on social media as Philly’s Karen is not and has never been an employee of the Hammonton Public Schools social media and news reports indicating that she is are incorrect.”

It jokingly added: “Anyone who works for our school district, attended as a student who lives in our community would obviously have caught the ball bare handed in the first place avoiding this entire situation.”

Karen Cairny

Most recently, the name Karen Cairny was thrown into the mix.  The fake rumour started on Facebook, where a viral post claimed she was a woman from Philadelphia, and had been fired from her job as a parking ticket enforcement officer.

The post said: “BREAKING: 🚨 ‘Philly Karen’ has FINALLY been identified and the internet is losing their mind. Her name is KAREN Cairny from Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. She works as a parking ticket enforcement officer in the Fishtown district. She has been reportedly been relieved of her position as the department don’t want the negative publicity.”

God knows who Karen Cairny actually is, but she isn’t the Phillies Karen and she’s not been fired.
