I was the bitchiest person ever when I didn't feel confident and once I started being a warm blooded animal (thanks to you Shallon), I actually apologised to those people and stopped being a "mean girl" for good.
I was most bitchy in elementary school! The worst. My parents relationship was really toxic at that time but by high school my dad was away alot and they weren't fighting so much and I snapped out of it.
I'm Colombian and my parents named me Karen because they wanted me to have an American name (I guess so that I could easily assimilate to the culture) Lol they really didn't know that "Karen" was going to become the butt of jokes in America I like my name. Just think it's funny
I think us Karens should have a support group. Our name has been made into an insult lol!! My immigrant parents also named me Karen for similar reasons
I used to be such a mean girl when I started college, I was so rude and openly mocked people all the time. Now I realised that it was because I was a cold blooded animal and such a beta and I wanted to make myself feel better by putting other people down. Once I started gaining confidence on my own in my early 20's I started becoming nicer and treating people with more respect. Then I realised that the people I bullied were actually the people I wanted to be like in one way or another. If you are being bullied, trust me, it's not your fault, you have something that they want or you are who they wish they could be and they don't have the confidence to learn from you so they want to shut you down. And when they are going to gain the confidence they terribly lack they are going to feel bad for what they've done and start looking up to you.
@@vliciouss I’ve been on both ends of the bullying, when I was in high school I was bullied very badly (I think that’s what made me a mean girl in college). Nobody talked to me for over 7 months, almost the whole school year, and the first thing I did was make friends in other schools and have a new set of friends which made me look less like “poor little Camilla with no friends”. I ignored what people did to me in school and acted like i wasn’t affected by what they did (then went home and cried to my mom lol). But it’s really important to make it look like what they are doing isn’t affecting you and they will feel stupid for doing whatever they’re doing to you. At the end of the school year I went to the “Regina George” who has turned everyone against me and told her that we should go back to being friends, I didn’t mean it but she agreed and then everyone who followed her and started bullying me because of her felt stupid because the “leader” was nice to me again and they felt like they lost me since I didn’t look lonely for the whole year because I had other friends. Anyway, it’s not your fault that you’re being bullied and you are probably an amazing person and the people bullying you are the problem. Go get new friends, enjoy your life when you are with your friends and show them that they are missing out on a great person, face your bullies by making them feel like they are wasting their time for what they’re doing to you because it doesn’t affect you. Trust me you are amazing and don’t let them take your confidence away from you❤️ (English isn’t my first language so I really hope that my answer makes sense, sorry haha)
Just to clarify since Glee has ended, Lea was in both seasons of Scream Queens (created by the same guy who created Glee), a show called The Mayor that got cancelled after 13 episodes, played Ariel in the Hollywood Bowl production of Little Mermaid and an xmas movie called Same Time, Next Christmas. I mean she's done stuff, but not anything major to stay super relevant.
Ohhh yes I forgot about Scream Queens. I think it's interesting that she keeps working with Ryan Murphy, he seems to be the only director who loves her.
Shallon Lester It feels redundant to say it but I’ve heard a lot of rumours that he really favoured Lea, kind of like a teachers pet. He also seemed to love to work with Emma Roberts and keeps putting her in AHS, Scream Queens, etc. I kind of get the feeling he gravitates towards domineering, diva-ish women. I wonder why?
@@TizzyTillyTicks I think because he keeps casting these girls as literal bitchs on his shows, I mean look at some Emma Robert character on AHS and mean girls and Lea is basically a real life Rachel Berry. I feel he finds it entertaining and who else to play a mean girl than a real mean girl
In college I was a mean girl disguised as a "nice girl". I would put other girls down calling them basic or ugly. Those actions were ugly of me and that's probably why I never had a real relationship in college no one wants to be around a jealous bitch! LOL so glad I've leveled up and grown out of that.
@@lacali2346 lol I mean I wasn't THAT mean to the point where I was going up to people and calling them basic or ugly. It was more me and my friend saying to each other or to a group etc. They aren't victims, because they aren't even aware that i was calling them basic. It's more just personal growth because I'm not participating in talking bad about other women behind their back or to their face.
Born in MASS Tea Terrence Howard was supposed to become war machine but they changed that because his attitude was really bad and went with Don instead in Iron man 2 onward.
In México, we have the "Ana Paus" (or "Ana Sofi"), those young white mexican girls who love to go to the shopping mall or the club and mistreat the essential workers and flaunt their privileges lmao. They won't ask for the manager, but sure they call you a slur. They're generally rich, white passing, from like Monterrey or San Pedro, or a rich neighborhood in Ciudad de México. We call them "whitexicans". They wear those horrible "Mexico is the shit" bombers. I think the Karen-mentality is as universal as a white colonizer.
its even worse when your teacher is the mean girl or the keran. Thank u for the likes and I hope shallon makes a video on this bc I’m not alone, those teachers traumatised me
Athraa Hameed yes! I had a teacher literally call me an idiot in-front of the entire class because I was not responding fast enough. I had a racist French teach as well. My biggest regret was my inability to stand up for myself. I didn’t have those skills at the time. Karens love to be teachers!!!!! Poor children.
Lyra Kole hey I know there are amazing teachers in this world but I’m talking about the mean girl teachers. And omg what you did with the porn thing 😂😂
I've tried analyzing Hollywood mean girls like Mariah Carey, madonna, lea Michele etc almost everyone is very different from each other , lea is probably the worst because mean girls like Mariah Carey are " i don't know her 🙄 " , or " who is she again " bt women like lea are the women who'll chase you down the road to bully you , make sure it got under your skin and make sure u got upset or depressed from it .
The truly dark side of this Karen meme is that many women (& men) will be so afraid of being called "a Karen" they won't assert themselves when it's appropriate. After many years' experience in serving & bartending, I'd much rather someone politely tell me something was wrong than they submissively pretend it's okay and then leave a bad tip and/or tell my manager on the way out...or worse, post a bad review online. Let's face it, the personality type that succumbs to this social pressure are usually passive aggressive: they want their voice to be heard but too fearful of looking bad to say it directly. We can't allow ourselves to be submissive after working so hard for our voices to be valid. It's good to be assertive. Unpopular opinion: these are the same people who are so afraid of being called "racist" that, despite never having empathized with the struggles of marginalized people before, are yelling "hashtag black lives matter!!" the loudest. Because it's trending, and that is their only barometer of socially approved opinion--I.e., what they're allowed to think. If you didn't care before, and you dismiss the death of David Dorn (& other so-called "collateral damage" deaths from the protests/riots--and this includes many black people, too)...then please do everyone a favor and STFU with your empty "activism." True empaths can see right through these lies, and a lot of people are being fake AF for the most self-serving reasons. (And I absolutely don't include Shallon in that category, FYI.)
Jackie Corpron Yep, shutting a conversation down with ad hominems is the weakest, most pathetic way of saving face when you don't have substance to an argument. It's cheap & lazy and I'm tired of that tactic being given credence (from "ok boomer" to "take your meds"). It's the comeback of a childish mind who realizes they're out of their depth...and every time I call someone out on it, they slink away in disgrace. You can't convince people of truths they aren't ready to hear, but you can plant seeds. I knew the Karen thing was gonna be a problem when it was used against people on both sides of the covid lockdown measures divide. Notice a couple weeks ago, you were an evil, death-spreading Karen for not wearing a mask in a store, but now you're a Karen if you question why protestors get a free pass to ignore social distancing by those same people? (I'm not taking sides, just observing the hypocrisy.) As our society becomes more polarized, and people can't back up their claims with evidence (only feelings), it seems likely this trend will worsen.
Jackie Corpron Aww, you just made my day! 🤗. Our numbers are growing, as more people start asking questions about why the media lies/distorts facts constantly, what it is we're being distracted from, and wtf is going on in this world. Staying sane requires us to ride these events out like a wave and not get swept away in manufactured madness. The more people live in fear, the easier they are to persuade, and eventually control. The YT channel reallygraceful is such an amazing resource for learning about the truths behind the headlines. Quantum of Conscience is great for gaining perspective on what it's all about (not for beginners, lol). For beginners who are still into politics but asking questions abt the official narratives, The Hill is fantastic (a Bernie bro woman & her center-right husband). So is Dr Karolyn ?? (I'll edit), a former SJW who woke up to the game being played (although she went too far in the other direction for my tastes, her perspective & insight as a psychologist is invaluable). But as long as people watch TV or consume other mainstream media to get their info, they're being played...and it pains me to see good hearted people used as pawns to their own detriment. I had been an "intersectional feminist" hyper Lefty myself. Binary (all/none, yes/no) thinking is what got us into these problems--life is infinitely more complex, and we have to think "outside the box" to find solutions before we literally destroy ourselves. Again, those of us who know plant seeds...their minds will bloom into awakening in their own time. 🌺
Jackie Corpron A BEAUTIFUL spiritual awakening is occurring now. Humanity waking out of a very long slumber of wool pulled over our eyes: lies disguised as truth. It's a tough lesson to learn that we can't try to force anyone out of that slumber. Waking up is the hardest part...but it'll be easier on the next wave bc they won't be alone like we were. A rising tide lifts all ships. 🌊 All acts done in darkness will come to light, sooner or later. "Three things cannot be hidden for long: the sun, the moon, and the truth" (lol I forget who said that). The hidden truths of this world are horrifying, but on the other side of that darkness is a love more profound than anything we could've previously imagined. Another good one is "It is easier to fool the people than to convince them they have been fooled." (attributed to Mark Twain, but unclear if accurate). I'll see you around. In the meantime, let them call us Crazy Karens! 🤷🏽♀️✨
I remember hearing about Lea's cold ways in mid-2010. I'm sooo surprised and shocked to see that her mean-girl ways just started to circle around. smh. Do better Hollywood. Keep the tea hot!
Lea can sing, sure, but as far as being a talented actor I'm not so sure. She basically just played herself in Glee. I can't really see her successfully playing any role that isn't that same type of character.
Absolutely! Even her roles in Scream Queens and The Mayor was extensive to Rachel, the acting wasn’t anything we didn’t see on Glee especially with The Mayor.
No honey, when that name or meme came out, it was referring to a white middle age woman, specifically. Not "male Karens", not "black Karens". There's definitely rude and entitled people of all races tho
There are more "Karens" in Argentina, we call them "Mili" or "Mili Pili" wich is the short for two very popular names here 😂 but here is more often used refering to younger woman who thinks are better than most, specially when their merit to think that is having money or pretending to have it. I think there are Karens and Milis all over the world, sadly.
I disagree with your concept of 'white privilege' at @9:33 - I think white privilege and white entitlement are two different ideas... White entitlement is the classic Karen persona you mentioned - the idea SOME white people have that society should bow to their any whim or desire. In comparison, white privilege is not a characteristic of some white people but ALL white people - it is the absence of the struggle all ethnic minorities face in that their skin colour is NEVER a problem for them and will never be the reason that they are held back in life. If a white person doesn't get a job, it's likely they just were not qualified; if a black person doesn't get a job, it could be due to a racist boss or that they were unqualified. It's a privilege of ONLY white people to NEVER have to think about how their race might affect them negatively. This privilege is not an evil of a specific white person in the way that white entitlement (aka Karen-ism) is; you cannot choose to have white privilege in the same way you cannot choose to be white. It only becomes a problematic trait of a white individual if they fail to acknowledge it or perpetuate systems which enable white people to maintain this position in society. Hope I said this is in a clear way lol.
I have listened to this eight times straight... I have found this so helpful. I have been traumatised from bullying that is has caused me severe social anxiety - I can now barely leave the house. Thank you so much for your insight and knowledge.😭🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓💓 Taking one day at a time 😌
I'm Australian and your description is pretty accurate 😂. We got our fair share of Karen's! Best believe it! But I like to think most of us are grounded and kind 🤞
I have a good example for the beginning of your video: as I was in theater school (France), we had a workshop with a very big french director and he said: the most important is not how good you act, it's how you work with people. Be nice, helpful, on time, respectful and I'd rather choose you than smb more talented but who's awful to work with. And he said you would be surprise of how much of a difference it can make in your career." Personally I strongly believe in attracting the energy you put out to the world. Lea's example is once again a confirmation of my belief. Thank you so much for your videos shallon !❤️
this just reminded me of my previous job where it was almost ALL women, and honestly they were all Karens haha and at that time I came to the same conclusion as you.... one day after ignoring a cooworker who came to my office just to gossip about someone else, I just said, "damn these women really have no life outisde of work" at that time I was working, going to school and extra curricular activities.... so work seem so small, I was in and out so fast! haha
“Mastery over yourself”. This resonates with me. It’s exhausting trying to control anyone else’s behavior other than your own. Also, I have a coworker who is the ultimate “Karen” and whose actual name is Karen. Entitled is the best word for it. Love these topics of adult mean girl behavior and how to be a healthier version of yourself.
Hi Shallon. Such a complex topic and happy that you addressed it. It would be interesting to discuss the "Karen" equivalent in males. The men who form the "boys club", abuse power and feel entitlement from a very young age. Also, could you do a video that breaks down Alpha, Beta and Omega individuals (in family, workplace, friend group, etc.)
Hej Shallon, I'm on the opposite. I try to embrace my inner Karen because i am such a push over and i hate it. I'm really good at voiding problems but so bad in handling difficult people. I would love to see a video where you give tips to stand up for one self in small ways and how to do it in bigger ways especiaöly at work. Because i am surrounded by Karens. I dont wanna be obe but i do not want to be a push over either! Love you :-*
Yes I really hope Shallon makes a video on ways to stand up for yourself in different scenarios. The reason why people flock to this channel is because we’re so tired of being victimized and taken advantage of simply because we allow it. I don’t really think a lot of real “Karens” come to this channel to get advice because it’s already natural to them to stand up for themselves and more.
I think having different social groups help your case as well, when you have different tribes, you will not be afraid of losing one, when you are not afraid to lose a 'friend', you don't please others to the detriment of your self interest.
Wynter Fox It's people (esp women) like us, who struggle to be assertive in some situations, that are at risk of having this Karen thing prevent us from being assertive. I sense a new wave of disempowerment of women coming out of this, and I don't like it one bit. Don't succumb to social pressure to be meek; your voice is valid. OP: if you're not familiar w the differences between "passive," "assertive," "authoritarian," "aggressive" and "passive aggressive," I'd suggest that as good start. I don't have a link ATM, but maybe try searching "communication styles." Or "how to be assertive."
I'm from Poland and work in retail. We have soooo many Karens in here. We call the here Karen cause we know exactly what it means. Anywhere I've worked I had this unpleasantness of talking with polish karens everyday. 'I want to speak with the manager! I know my rights!' Heard it every damn time. In here there is also 'Madka' name for entitled mothers that thinks everything is spinning around them and they can get everything for free and so on. It's misspelled 'mother' in polish which is 'matka' not 'madka'. Those are the worst. In Poland if you have kids you are getting pretty good benefits and money from government and because of it a lot of people that just don't know what to do with their lives just makes kids. So a lot of those mothers think that because they are mothers they're superior then others and they should be first in the line, get free things and all that shit. So many memes about it we have here. Anyways that's the same situation. They feel power in the stores, restaurants and on the internet because that's the only thing they have. I learned how to work in situations like that but it is hard sometimes I won't lie
When you were talking about the pattern of "mean girls"/guys in the work place only having this one thing to define them - I felt that in my experience of with ex's where I would just pick fights say terribleee horrible nasty things to them & they just took it. you're explanation of this needing power make's a lot of sense because in these relationships, my partner at the time is all I had. I had stopped going out with friends and I let my boyfriend of the time define my social life. I just really appreciate this vid for that take-away because I've always placed the blame on them - they just weren't good enough, they weren't the one blah blah blah whatever narrative was fitting my ego. But this new information helps me take ownership of how to not repeat this pattern
Shallon, this channel is all about psychological insights and honesty, so I have to contribute by saying that the grimy background makes me think I’m trapped in the woods, ready to be eaten alive, which is the total opposite of your messages full of positivity. It’s as if the wallpaper takes up energy, rather than enhancing it
My friend and I met at a previous job that was FULL of psychotic mean women. One mean girl came in and climbed the ranks fast. My friend was disheartened as this girl was getting promoted and my friend was not. I told my friend "She wants to be Queen of Turd Mountain. We are going to let her!" We both moved on to much better jobs shortly after.
It is always such a great joy to listen to you at the end of my day (in Belgium) ! Hope you are adapting wonderfully well to your new Montana Lifestyle ! Lots of Love !!
Child stars paying bills reminded me of Demi Lovato. Her mom actually wrote a book about it, and it was just so devastating. Children should never be given and adults role in a family.
Self awareness is critical to self development. I realized when and where I was wrong and try my hardest to not do that again. When I became less selfish and more selfless, that stark contrast made me realize how better I could have treated people. It’s embarrassing. People will always remember how you make them feel.
I want to like you Shallon, you have valuable things to say. I just wish you could admit the hypocrisy of your Karen-like behaviour towards your constructive critics. Your audience will be here for you stronger than ever to support your honesty and self reflection.
I grew up in Newport Beach (shallon you know what how it is) I never really exposure to other races and my ignorance from that time, urks me to this day. (The one thing I’m still having trouble forgiving myself for) thank god that I moved to less privileged areas and got exposure to how the world really is
i can't stand when people don't have their dogs on a leash. I have a German shepherd and every time I walk her some Karen has her poodle without a leash and proceeds to tell me her dog is a nice dog..yeah Karen mine is not
Yes LOL allthough my husband is so sweet and mellow. God does he moan about things... Particularly the amount of sauces and things with takeout and the quality of food. It drives me absolutely insane lol. In nz if we complain about food they would barely care. I do agree americans expect a certain service/bit entitled in that respect.
Hey Shallon my angel. How to deal with ANGER? I have so much anger and resentment in me. Anger against so many people and against myself for not having put boundaries in the past. Tiny things trigger my anger because my nervous system is so sensitive now. Fuck.
@@jeffthekiller9317 ok but that's not available to everyone and from experience I can say that sometimes it's your very therapist who gave you lots of anger...
My mean girl phase was college and it’s really cringey and embarrassing for me to think about now. I was obsessed with attention. I’m really glad I grew out of of that phase and try to focus on bringing positivity to people around me.
Could you please make another video on Madison Beer? She keeps yelling on the internet and it would be interesting to get an idea of what’s going on with her. Her “real fans” (she distinguishes them for some reason) keep defending her with the boring old “people hate her because she’s pretty” but there’s been more beautiful women who don’t get into half the drama she stirs up i.e. Megan Fox and Marilyn Monroe (whom the public and press adooored). I like to think a lot of women and girls don’t realize they’re intuitively picking up there’s something “off” about her and that’s the reason why people find it hard to like her, and she gets SO UPSET people have an opinion of her. Something about that girl quietly screams toxic/manipulative but on a new and unfamiliar level because SNS feeds into it. She also very clearly got veneers but insists she’s “natural”. I genuinely think she’s crazy and I’m terrified of her lol.
I've been a consistent watcher of these videos for several years, the content keeps getting better. This is next level stuff, I hope she gains traction, but even if she doesn't that's not because she's not good, it's because most people are too dumb to appreciate and understand ideas of such high quality..
Just to make your day a little bit happier, the women she is talking about who called the cops on a black man got fired from her job after pulling such a karen move
I don't know if I was a mean girl per say, ( I hope not) but I had a lot of insecurity and sometimes I over compensated for it. I grew up in a toxic family dynamic there was some abuse, I just needed a friend to understand. But many years later I'm taking the LONG over due journey of self healing!!! (MUCH NEEDED) I'm a little more careful about how I treat people.
Why isn’t nobody talking about Hailey Bieber????!!!! She hasn’t apologized about racist comments back in 2014!!! People trying to cancel other famous people, but everybody is so quiet regarding Hailey Beiber!!!
At the beginning of quarantine, I was talking to the customer service of a mall in my city to find out if I could return some clothes. They wouldn't help and I f- lost it. Soon enough I realized I had to apologize ( ughh I don't like apologizing, but I DID u.u). The problem with mean girls is not that they are having a problematic behavior, the problem is that they won't acknowledge they are being rude. And... you can't change what you don't acknowledge.
Can confirm that Australia is full of Karens. I actually initially thought that the term was just an Aussie thing since there are so many Karens here!!
Just to clarify, people can be privileged in some ways and not others. I’m not privileged with the amount of money I have, and I’m not privileged because I’m in the LGBTQ community, but I still have white privilege. I can walk into a store and not be stared at, I can find bandaids that are my skin color, etc. there’s different kinds of privilege but white privilege is incredibly clear since you can see it on your skin.
Shallon I’ve been logging in everyday, so excited for your Montana story!!! We all can’t wait to hear it 😍. So inspiring and sooo scary to start over but you will make friends quickly and have a wonderful life there. Sorry not sorry that lea Michelle is not as interesting as shallon 😂
Shallon, I really enjoy listening to the way you discuss and describe things and views I had never thought of before but make such sense. Regardless if you always get it right, it relates to me almost every time you have a subject to talk about. You can always find something similar that can relate back to my own life sure.. but again, how you see personality’s are so alike to my own it’s full on.
Reminds me of Mean Girls in a way. Some girls think they are not bullies because they don't act like Regina George. Worse than a Regina George type is a Janice Ian type, a cry bully.
In Germany we have those Karens who always have to critize everyone and everything (I once heard that in Germany critizing is seen more intellectual that being always satisfied and easy). We call them Karen or (male version) Justus Aurelius. Justus Aurelius is the son of doctors and also considers himself as one since elementary school. He always needs to be treated specially. Now he is studying medicine and is sponsored by his parents which is why he doesn't understand his priviledge.
Your hair is especially bomb in this vid 😍😍😍 damn so basically we are learning today lea is literally who her character was on glee. One thing before I get into your video and hear you likely mention it yourself, I’m calling it now that she’s taking out much of her pain about her boyfriend dying of that heroin overdose/ her costar Corey, seemingly he was like the love of her life! That’s probably her hurt locker because I know it’s mine (the love of my life died of a heroin overdose in early 2017 😭) I know I can be a mean Karen as well, and mainly that’s when I began to feel “entitled” to heroin myself, because of all the pain it gave to me taking away the one I loved the most. I never tried heroin when he was alive, but once he died I truly felt like it owed me like that, learned the hard way I made a terrible mistake. But now my healing I’m working on isn’t just for my sake, but for his 🤍🙏😇 I don’t know what your take is on the paranormal- but I feel him everywhere and experience his presence everyday! Also, I swear when he was alive he was literally the male version of myself, and loving him was the ultimate way of the universe and God into tricking me into falling in love with myself. Hence now that he is “gone” I realiZe the more I love and get to know myself the more I further get to discover him!
White women being offended by being called Karen is so annoying. Of course stereotypes are hurtful but you learn to live with it. Karen is not a stereotype towards white women. Karen is a label placed on a behavior caused by the entitlement of a white woman. All white women aren't Karen's yet, some are or can be. There is a difference, and it is very important to realise that difference. Another thing, white priveledge is a societal construction due to systematic racism. Changing the phrase to white entitlement is not enough. White entitlement seems like something that someone personally goes through while, white priveledge is an entire societal construction. Realise the difference. As you all know, words have power.
For me, power=saying NO. Because of childhood abusement and suppression, I guess. I used to be the victim, now I am the one who calls the shots: I end a relationship, cut a friend off, quit a job. Usually I feel guilty about people I leave behind. I know I shouldn't, though. I don't know if it's bad but I am happy with my choices. :)
Priviledge is not just about a social status, it goes beyond gender, sexuality, skin color, education, culture and language. All these factors give you this "entitlement", as you call it. Priviledge is both tangible and intangible. I believe, we all should keep working on awknowledging our different privileges to overcome the biases we have very internalized.

CALLING ALL FORMER MEAN GIRLS! When were you at your most bitchy or intolerable? What do you think was fueling it and what snapped you out of it?
Shallon please do a video on Amanda Peet and her husband David Benioff, the guy who made Game of Thrones and also ruined it.
I was the bitchiest person ever when I didn't feel confident and once I started being a warm blooded animal (thanks to you Shallon), I actually apologised to those people and stopped being a "mean girl" for good.
When I was in highschool, I was in a toxic relationship I had no control over, so I was mean to everyone else...now I look back and regret it deeply
When I was hungry 🤦🏼♀️
I was most bitchy in elementary school! The worst. My parents relationship was really toxic at that time but by high school my dad was away alot and they weren't fighting so much and I snapped out of it.

I ignored what people did to me in school and acted like i wasn’t affected by what they did (then went home and cried to my mom lol). But it’s really important to make it look like what they are doing isn’t affecting you and they will feel stupid for doing whatever they’re doing to you.
At the end of the school year I went to the “Regina George” who has turned everyone against me and told her that we should go back to being friends, I didn’t mean it but she agreed and then everyone who followed her and started bullying me because of her felt stupid because the “leader” was nice to me again and they felt like they lost me since I didn’t look lonely for the whole year because I had other friends.
Anyway, it’s not your fault that you’re being bullied and you are probably an amazing person and the people bullying you are the problem. Go get new friends, enjoy your life when you are with your friends and show them that they are missing out on a great person, face your bullies by making them feel like they are wasting their time for what they’re doing to you because it doesn’t affect you. Trust me you are amazing and don’t let them take your confidence away from you❤️
(English isn’t my first language so I really hope that my answer makes sense, sorry haha)
At least you were able tune into your introspection. Some people can’t for some reason and others have to suffer for it🙄🙄
@@vliciouss just for once , you attack back. You can read everyone and their weaknesses. If your response is on point, they will stop it forever
Just to clarify since Glee has ended, Lea was in both seasons of Scream Queens (created by the same guy who created Glee), a show called The Mayor that got cancelled after 13 episodes, played Ariel in the Hollywood Bowl production of Little Mermaid and an xmas movie called Same Time, Next Christmas. I mean she's done stuff, but not anything major to stay super relevant.
Ohhh yes I forgot about Scream Queens. I think it's interesting that she keeps working with Ryan Murphy, he seems to be the only director who loves her.
@@shallonlester maybe they are banging
Shallon Lester It feels redundant to say it but I’ve heard a lot of rumours that he really favoured Lea, kind of like a teachers pet. He also seemed to love to work with Emma Roberts and keeps putting her in AHS, Scream Queens, etc. I kind of get the feeling he gravitates towards domineering, diva-ish women. I wonder why?
@@TizzyTillyTicks I think because he keeps casting these girls as literal bitchs on his shows, I mean look at some Emma Robert character on AHS and mean girls and Lea is basically a real life Rachel Berry. I feel he finds it entertaining and who else to play a mean girl than a real mean girl
@@TizzyTillyTicks maybe Ryan is a bitch and gets on with bitches?
Working in hospitality in Australia, I can safely say there are a lot of Karens here... lmao
Caitlin Jane I used to work in retail in Aus for 10 years... so many Karens, especially in DFO!!
Lol
In college I was a mean girl disguised as a "nice girl". I would put other girls down calling them basic or ugly. Those actions were ugly of me and that's probably why I never had a real relationship in college no one wants to be around a jealous bitch! LOL so glad I've leveled up and grown out of that.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼self awareness& growth well done
@@alalala3861 thank you!! It makes me sad that I behaved that way honestly. But all you can do is grow from your past!
Its takes a strong person to tackle your own toxicity and work towards becoming and being a better person
I’m sure your victims want karma on you
@@lacali2346 lol I mean I wasn't THAT mean to the point where I was going up to people and calling them basic or ugly. It was more me and my friend saying to each other or to a group etc. They aren't victims, because they aren't even aware that i was calling them basic. It's more just personal growth because I'm not participating in talking bad about other women behind their back or to their face.
I’m not supporting anyone who’s mean but.. why aren’t men ever called out for being mean/rude/difficult to work with?
Elle Bantz they are though! Like the guy from marvel in iron man 1 who got cancelled; and then the villain in ironman 2.
Yup, you tell them! Double standards are crazy.
@@neginnasiri3198 Which one form Iron man 1 got canceled? Please do tell juicy story
Born in MASS Tea Terrence Howard was supposed to become war machine but they changed that because his attitude was really bad and went with Don instead in Iron man 2 onward.

I saw a meme the other day that said "What do you call a group of Karens?"
-"A privilege."
_I_ would’ve said _home owner’s associations._
In México, we have the "Ana Paus" (or "Ana Sofi"), those young white mexican girls who love to go to the shopping mall or the club and mistreat the essential workers and flaunt their privileges lmao. They won't ask for the manager, but sure they call you a slur. They're generally rich, white passing, from like Monterrey or San Pedro, or a rich neighborhood in Ciudad de México. We call them "whitexicans". They wear those horrible "Mexico is the shit" bombers. I think the Karen-mentality is as universal as a white colonizer.
En Argentina tenemos a las "Mili Pilis" 😂😂😂 que son un personaje muy similar. Tremendoo!
There also called Ashley's!!!
Nazarena R Qué particular 😹 Ya voy a usar Mili Pilis hahaha
Carne Guisada what is that supposed to mean?
Carne Guisada Someone needs to rewatch the video
its even worse when your teacher is the mean girl or the keran. Thank u for the likes and I hope shallon makes a video on this bc I’m not alone, those teachers traumatised me
Athraa Hameed omg I had several of those growing up. 😭😩
@@daringgreatly8473 omg and the way they degrade you, shallon should do video on this, we need to get my comment up.
Athraa Hameed yes! I had a teacher literally call me an idiot in-front of the entire class because I was not responding fast enough. I had a racist French teach as well. My biggest regret was my inability to stand up for myself. I didn’t have those skills at the time. Karens love to be teachers!!!!! Poor children.
Daring Greatly84 omg similar thing happened to me and I’m actually traumatised by this, especially the regret after is not standing up
Lyra Kole hey I know there are amazing teachers in this world but I’m talking about the mean girl teachers. And omg what you did with the porn thing 😂😂
All this talk of *mean girls* is giving me scary flashbacks of girls in my high school bullying me 💀
Well, you'll have to work through that at some point...the world and the mean girls in it will keep spinning-
I've tried analyzing Hollywood mean girls like Mariah Carey, madonna, lea Michele etc almost everyone is very different from each other , lea is probably the worst because mean girls like Mariah Carey are " i don't know her 🙄 " , or " who is she again " bt women like lea are the women who'll chase you down the road to bully you , make sure it got under your skin and make sure u got upset or depressed from it .
And Madonna?
@@AnaHernandez-rn8vs Madonna is the queen in het group. If people want to attend parties and get free shit they'll clap when Madonna makes others cry
Lea made Hailey Steinfeld cry nine years ago. That was my first glimpse into this drama that's been slowly broiling.
Mariah Carey shaded Jlo because she stole her songs. She deserved it.
The Internet 100% - Mariah was the victim of extreme bullying at the time!!
The truly dark side of this Karen meme is that many women (& men) will be so afraid of being called "a Karen" they won't assert themselves when it's appropriate. After many years' experience in serving & bartending, I'd much rather someone politely tell me something was wrong than they submissively pretend it's okay and then leave a bad tip and/or tell my manager on the way out...or worse, post a bad review online. Let's face it, the personality type that succumbs to this social pressure are usually passive aggressive: they want their voice to be heard but too fearful of looking bad to say it directly. We can't allow ourselves to be submissive after working so hard for our voices to be valid. It's good to be assertive.
Unpopular opinion: these are the same people who are so afraid of being called "racist" that, despite never having empathized with the struggles of marginalized people before, are yelling "hashtag black lives matter!!" the loudest. Because it's trending, and that is their only barometer of socially approved opinion--I.e., what they're allowed to think. If you didn't care before, and you dismiss the death of David Dorn (& other so-called "collateral damage" deaths from the protests/riots--and this includes many black people, too)...then please do everyone a favor and STFU with your empty "activism." True empaths can see right through these lies, and a lot of people are being fake AF for the most self-serving reasons. (And I absolutely don't include Shallon in that category, FYI.)
LOVE this comment! You put into words exactly what I’ve been feeling for years.
Jackie Corpron Yep, shutting a conversation down with ad hominems is the weakest, most pathetic way of saving face when you don't have substance to an argument. It's cheap & lazy and I'm tired of that tactic being given credence (from "ok boomer" to "take your meds"). It's the comeback of a childish mind who realizes they're out of their depth...and every time I call someone out on it, they slink away in disgrace. You can't convince people of truths they aren't ready to hear, but you can plant seeds.
I knew the Karen thing was gonna be a problem when it was used against people on both sides of the covid lockdown measures divide. Notice a couple weeks ago, you were an evil, death-spreading Karen for not wearing a mask in a store, but now you're a Karen if you question why protestors get a free pass to ignore social distancing by those same people? (I'm not taking sides, just observing the hypocrisy.) As our society becomes more polarized, and people can't back up their claims with evidence (only feelings), it seems likely this trend will worsen.
Jackie Corpron Aww, you just made my day! 🤗. Our numbers are growing, as more people start asking questions about why the media lies/distorts facts constantly, what it is we're being distracted from, and wtf is going on in this world. Staying sane requires us to ride these events out like a wave and not get swept away in manufactured madness. The more people live in fear, the easier they are to persuade, and eventually control.
The YT channel reallygraceful is such an amazing resource for learning about the truths behind the headlines. Quantum of Conscience is great for gaining perspective on what it's all about (not for beginners, lol). For beginners who are still into politics but asking questions abt the official narratives, The Hill is fantastic (a Bernie bro woman & her center-right husband). So is Dr Karolyn ?? (I'll edit), a former SJW who woke up to the game being played (although she went too far in the other direction for my tastes, her perspective & insight as a psychologist is invaluable).
But as long as people watch TV or consume other mainstream media to get their info, they're being played...and it pains me to see good hearted people used as pawns to their own detriment. I had been an "intersectional feminist" hyper Lefty myself. Binary (all/none, yes/no) thinking is what got us into these problems--life is infinitely more complex, and we have to think "outside the box" to find solutions before we literally destroy ourselves. Again, those of us who know plant seeds...their minds will bloom into awakening in their own time. 🌺
Jackie Corpron A BEAUTIFUL spiritual awakening is occurring now. Humanity waking out of a very long slumber of wool pulled over our eyes: lies disguised as truth. It's a tough lesson to learn that we can't try to force anyone out of that slumber. Waking up is the hardest part...but it'll be easier on the next wave bc they won't be alone like we were. A rising tide lifts all ships. 🌊
All acts done in darkness will come to light, sooner or later. "Three things cannot be hidden for long: the sun, the moon, and the truth" (lol I forget who said that). The hidden truths of this world are horrifying, but on the other side of that darkness is a love more profound than anything we could've previously imagined.
Another good one is "It is easier to fool the people than to convince them they have been fooled." (attributed to Mark Twain, but unclear if accurate). I'll see you around. In the meantime, let them call us Crazy Karens! 🤷🏽♀️✨
I remember hearing about Lea's cold ways in mid-2010. I'm sooo surprised and shocked to see that her mean-girl ways just started to circle around. smh. Do better Hollywood. Keep the tea hot!
“Behavioural issues” - Poojah, what is this behaviour?
Lmaoooo
This made me bark out a laughter. Yes pooja what is this behaviour!
OMG!!!! LMFAOF!!!! a Pooja is a Karen in India!
This. Yes. Thank you.
Get off my back
In Spain Karens are called Charos
Didn’t know that and I am actually Spanish 😂.
Buenísimo hahaha
Reminds me of Doña Florinda or La Bruja del 71 😆
Desde cuando?
Lea can sing, sure, but as far as being a talented actor I'm not so sure. She basically just played herself in Glee. I can't really see her successfully playing any role that isn't that same type of character.
True she couldn’t be humble if her life depended on it.
She played Hester in Scream Queens
Absolutely! Even her roles in Scream Queens and The Mayor was extensive to Rachel, the acting wasn’t anything we didn’t see on Glee especially with The Mayor.
I think she could play barbara streisand tho
In Australia, we call a Karen, a Jan. 😂
Bist du deutsche?
mochi h0bi No, I’m Australian.
Haha yes!!! “NOT HAPPY JAN!”
Efflorescentey My fellow Aussie gets it! 😂
Laura Stewart Haha sure do! I gotcha back, girl 😝
Lol i totally forgot about Katherine Heigl 💀😂
The og mean girl
She’s so irrelevant lmao I forgot about her too
Omg same haha
What happened with her?
And definitely got knocked off her high horse for it. Karma!
I have worked retail and meet "Karens" of ever color, that personality is that a personality!
No honey, when that name or meme came out, it was referring to a white middle age woman, specifically. Not "male Karens", not "black Karens".
There's definitely rude and entitled people of all races tho
There are more "Karens" in Argentina, we call them "Mili" or "Mili Pili" wich is the short for two very popular names here 😂 but here is more often used refering to younger woman who thinks are better than most, specially when their merit to think that is having money or pretending to have it. I think there are Karens and Milis all over the world, sadly.
Argentina :) pense que era la unica shalloner argentina!! sii miliPili sería una mini Karen.
Argentina!! Si hay milis en todos lados jajj
JAJAJA soy paraguaya pero siempre muero de risa con los memes de la mili pili
@@biaparodi8699 no tienen nombre para eso allá?
Is that because Argentina has a massive Nazi population?
I disagree with your concept of 'white privilege' at @9:33 - I think white privilege and white entitlement are two different ideas... White entitlement is the classic Karen persona you mentioned - the idea SOME white people have that society should bow to their any whim or desire. In comparison, white privilege is not a characteristic of some white people but ALL white people - it is the absence of the struggle all ethnic minorities face in that their skin colour is NEVER a problem for them and will never be the reason that they are held back in life. If a white person doesn't get a job, it's likely they just were not qualified; if a black person doesn't get a job, it could be due to a racist boss or that they were unqualified. It's a privilege of ONLY white people to NEVER have to think about how their race might affect them negatively. This privilege is not an evil of a specific white person in the way that white entitlement (aka Karen-ism) is; you cannot choose to have white privilege in the same way you cannot choose to be white. It only becomes a problematic trait of a white individual if they fail to acknowledge it or perpetuate systems which enable white people to maintain this position in society. Hope I said this is in a clear way lol.
I think that's what Shallon said. Entitlement is more personal/individual attitude whereas privilege is a different, wider topic rooted in race
Exactly right. White privilege is ‘it isn’t about what you’ve been through, it’s about what you haven’t had to go through.’

"if your behavioral issues started when you were 8 and lasted until you're 33 that's simply called your personality" hahaha xD

I met so many Australians due to working in the airline industry, and I do agree with you 😊.
Are yours called Trudy too? I know a few bitchy middle aged Australians called that
@@negativeorange hahaha I've met a couple of Susans too.... bloody Susan.
I have a good example for the beginning of your video: as I was in theater school (France), we had a workshop with a very big french director and he said: the most important is not how good you act, it's how you work with people. Be nice, helpful, on time, respectful and I'd rather choose you than smb more talented but who's awful to work with. And he said you would be surprise of how much of a difference it can make in your career."
Personally I strongly believe in attracting the energy you put out to the world. Lea's example is once again a confirmation of my belief.
Thank you so much for your videos shallon !❤️
Yay! I was going into Shallon withdrawal...lol...I know it's only been a day but still.

You ain’t lyin’! I’ve worked at an airport for years, and I’ve seen Karen’s of all shapes, sizes and color!
and genders, my father is such a Karen !
Ron 😂 How could I forget gender! I’ve dealt with my fair share of male Karen’s too! 😂 It’s usually middle aged men.
spongebob03 there are an abundance Kents out here causing havoc too
Would love to see a video about what you know on Emma Roberts
Yes!!
she's already said what she thinks of her. Problematic.
please
Yes!
Emma is even worse
this just reminded me of my previous job where it was almost ALL women, and honestly they were all Karens haha and at that time I came to the same conclusion as you.... one day after ignoring a cooworker who came to my office just to gossip about someone else, I just said, "damn these women really have no life outisde of work" at that time I was working, going to school and extra curricular activities.... so work seem so small, I was in and out so fast! haha
“Mastery over yourself”. This resonates with me. It’s exhausting trying to control anyone else’s behavior other than your own. Also, I have a coworker who is the ultimate “Karen” and whose actual name is Karen. Entitled is the best word for it. Love these topics of adult mean girl behavior and how to be a healthier version of yourself.
"Is she a bichon frisé?"
_______________________I FLATLINED!!!!!

Hi Shallon. Such a complex topic and happy that you addressed it. It would be interesting to discuss the "Karen" equivalent in males. The men who form the "boys club", abuse power and feel entitlement from a very young age.
Also, could you do a video that breaks down Alpha, Beta and Omega individuals (in family, workplace, friend group, etc.)
Yes let's talk about the Kevin's
Hej Shallon, I'm on the opposite. I try to embrace my inner Karen because i am such a push over and i hate it. I'm really good at voiding problems but so bad in handling difficult people. I would love to see a video where you give tips to stand up for one self in small ways and how to do it in bigger ways especiaöly at work. Because i am surrounded by Karens. I dont wanna be obe but i do not want to be a push over either! Love you :-*
Ouuu this! Hope she sees it
Yes I really hope Shallon makes a video on ways to stand up for yourself in different scenarios. The reason why people flock to this channel is because we’re so tired of being victimized and taken advantage of simply because we allow it. I don’t really think a lot of real “Karens” come to this channel to get advice because it’s already natural to them to stand up for themselves and more.
Just stop giving a f*** if they like you or not. When you learn to like yourself you don't care what people think of you.
I think having different social groups help your case as well, when you have different tribes, you will not be afraid of losing one, when you are not afraid to lose a 'friend', you don't please others to the detriment of your self interest.
Wynter Fox It's people (esp women) like us, who struggle to be assertive in some situations, that are at risk of having this Karen thing prevent us from being assertive. I sense a new wave of disempowerment of women coming out of this, and I don't like it one bit. Don't succumb to social pressure to be meek; your voice is valid.
OP: if you're not familiar w the differences between "passive," "assertive," "authoritarian," "aggressive" and "passive aggressive," I'd suggest that as good start. I don't have a link ATM, but maybe try searching "communication styles." Or "how to be assertive."
I'm from Poland and work in retail. We have soooo many Karens in here. We call the here Karen cause we know exactly what it means. Anywhere I've worked I had this unpleasantness of talking with polish karens everyday. 'I want to speak with the manager! I know my rights!' Heard it every damn time. In here there is also 'Madka' name for entitled mothers that thinks everything is spinning around them and they can get everything for free and so on. It's misspelled 'mother' in polish which is 'matka' not 'madka'. Those are the worst. In Poland if you have kids you are getting pretty good benefits and money from government and because of it a lot of people that just don't know what to do with their lives just makes kids. So a lot of those mothers think that because they are mothers they're superior then others and they should be first in the line, get free things and all that shit. So many memes about it we have here. Anyways that's the same situation. They feel power in the stores, restaurants and on the internet because that's the only thing they have. I learned how to work in situations like that but it is hard sometimes I won't lie
Notification on my phone says, "Shallon Lester: What Creates a Karen", and I've never clicked so fast! Sold!! 🤣🤣
When you were talking about the pattern of "mean girls"/guys in the work place only having this one thing to define them - I felt that in my experience of with ex's where I would just pick fights say terribleee horrible nasty things to them & they just took it. you're explanation of this needing power make's a lot of sense because in these relationships, my partner at the time is all I had. I had stopped going out with friends and I let my boyfriend of the time define my social life. I just really appreciate this vid for that take-away because I've always placed the blame on them - they just weren't good enough, they weren't the one blah blah blah whatever narrative was fitting my ego. But this new information helps me take ownership of how to not repeat this pattern
girlllll there is SOOOO many Karens in Australia! I had to deal with them on a weekly basis when i worked in hospo and retail yikesssss 🙃🙃🙃

Shallon, this channel is all about psychological insights and honesty, so I have to contribute by saying that the grimy background makes me think I’m trapped in the woods, ready to be eaten alive, which is the total opposite of your messages full of positivity. It’s as if the wallpaper takes up energy, rather than enhancing it
I actually really like that wallpaper, makes me feel calm and comforted, but maybe that's because i love woods and the energy they transmit
It's just wallpaper. Don't feel so offended
irinafms interesting, thank you for that perspective
My friend and I met at a previous job that was FULL of psychotic mean women. One mean girl came in and climbed the ranks fast. My friend was disheartened as this girl was getting promoted and my friend was not. I told my friend "She wants to be Queen of Turd Mountain. We are going to let her!"
We both moved on to much better jobs shortly after.

“What creates a Karen”
Damn I haven’t even started the video yet and I’m already laughing
Child stars paying bills reminded me of Demi Lovato. Her mom actually wrote a book about it, and it was just so devastating. Children should never be given and adults role in a family.
What happened when Demi was a child? I don't have the book her mom wrote
Self awareness is critical to self development. I realized when and where I was wrong and try my hardest to not do that again. When I became less selfish and more selfless, that stark contrast made me realize how better I could have treated people. It’s embarrassing.
People will always remember how you make them feel.
I want to like you Shallon, you have valuable things to say. I just wish you could admit the hypocrisy of your Karen-like behaviour towards your constructive critics. Your audience will be here for you stronger than ever to support your honesty and self reflection.
I grew up in Newport Beach (shallon you know what how it is) I never really exposure to other races and my ignorance from that time, urks me to this day. (The one thing I’m still having trouble forgiving myself for) thank god that I moved to less privileged areas and got exposure to how the world really is
i can't stand when people don't have their dogs on a leash. I have a German shepherd and every time I walk her some Karen has her poodle without a leash and proceeds to tell me her dog is a nice dog..yeah Karen mine is not
When you said "I want to speak to a manager" I laughed out loud. It's so true, I don't know the reason why but Americans are so entitled
Not all of us are like this lol, most of us aren’t a Karen
@@mattb1568 haha I don't know, from now on whenever I hear the word "America" I will think of high-pitched rants and horrifying haircuts 😂
Yes LOL allthough my husband is so sweet and mellow. God does he moan about things... Particularly the amount of sauces and things with takeout and the quality of food. It drives me absolutely insane lol. In nz if we complain about food they would barely care. I do agree americans expect a certain service/bit entitled in that respect.
Yeah, we got lotsa Karen's in Aus.Idk they're mad bc they didn't use sunscreen for 20+ years I think.
Yep and they're called Trudy 😂
😂😂😂
@karen is a bitch it's just the typical appearance of Karen. That and the box blonde dye
This hair is giving my Hilary Duff vibes and I’m LIVING for it!!!
Hey Shallon my angel. How to deal with ANGER? I have so much anger and resentment in me. Anger against so many people and against myself for not having put boundaries in the past. Tiny things trigger my anger because my nervous system is so sensitive now. Fuck.
Therapy
@@jeffthekiller9317 ok but that's not available to everyone and from experience I can say that sometimes it's your very therapist who gave you lots of anger...
My mean girl phase was college and it’s really cringey and embarrassing for me to think about now. I was obsessed with attention. I’m really glad I grew out of of that phase and try to focus on bringing positivity to people around me.
The sad thing is that Karen is basically a typical man, and no one says anything when they do it.
"Are you a bichon frisé?" lmfaooooo I died
Could you please make another video on Madison Beer? She keeps yelling on the internet and it would be interesting to get an idea of what’s going on with her. Her “real fans” (she distinguishes them for some reason) keep defending her with the boring old “people hate her because she’s pretty” but there’s been more beautiful women who don’t get into half the drama she stirs up i.e. Megan Fox and Marilyn Monroe (whom the public and press adooored). I like to think a lot of women and girls don’t realize they’re intuitively picking up there’s something “off” about her and that’s the reason why people find it hard to like her, and she gets SO UPSET people have an opinion of her.
Something about that girl quietly screams toxic/manipulative but on a new and unfamiliar level because SNS feeds into it. She also very clearly got veneers but insists she’s “natural”. I genuinely think she’s crazy and I’m terrified of her lol.
I work international customer service. Trust me, there are Karens all over the world. They’ve gone global.
Let's all watch threw the entire ad so Shallon can get this bag!! ❤️
I've been a consistent watcher of these videos for several years, the content keeps getting better. This is next level stuff, I hope she gains traction, but even if she doesn't that's not because she's not good, it's because most people are too dumb to appreciate and understand ideas of such high quality..
Agreed. She wants you to change and improve yourself. Others want the world to change for them.
Just to make your day a little bit happier, the women she is talking about who called the cops on a black man got fired from her job after pulling such a karen move
I don't know if I was a mean girl per say, ( I hope not) but I had a lot of insecurity and sometimes I over compensated for it. I grew up in a toxic family dynamic there was some abuse, I just needed a friend to understand. But many years later I'm taking the LONG over due journey of self healing!!! (MUCH NEEDED) I'm a little more careful about how I treat people.
I can't get enough of Shallon's HarryPotterish wall! It is amazing! And I can tell you there are Karens in Greece also!
Lol I said it was twilightish
I would say Twin peaks
Why isn’t nobody talking about Hailey Bieber????!!!! She hasn’t apologized about racist comments back in 2014!!! People trying to cancel other famous people, but everybody is so quiet regarding Hailey Beiber!!!
Might be because she hasn't got a career to actually cancel

definitely
yes!!!
They look exactly alike to me since I don’t really know either of them that much. I used to get them confused
Noooooo say it isn’t so . I really wanna like cc
At the beginning of quarantine, I was talking to the customer service of a mall in my city to find out if I could return some clothes. They wouldn't help and I f- lost it. Soon enough I realized I had to apologize ( ughh I don't like apologizing, but I DID u.u). The problem with mean girls is not that they are having a problematic behavior, the problem is that they won't acknowledge they are being rude. And... you can't change what you don't acknowledge.
so curious about a Shallon "life update" video :))
Can confirm that Australia is full of Karens. I actually initially thought that the term was just an Aussie thing since there are so many Karens here!!
I never liked Lea Michele there was just something always off about her
Lea is "that theatre kid" if you know, you know...hahaha I was in drama in high school and this was an archetype of theatre club.
Do we know if this is Shallons permanent filming location? It gives me slight hostage video vibes...
I live in México, we have a lot of Karen Memes hahahahaha
Pero son de gatos
Just to clarify, people can be privileged in some ways and not others. I’m not privileged with the amount of money I have, and I’m not privileged because I’m in the LGBTQ community, but I still have white privilege. I can walk into a store and not be stared at, I can find bandaids that are my skin color, etc. there’s different kinds of privilege but white privilege is incredibly clear since you can see it on your skin.
Lea Michelle was in Scream Queens for 2 seasons. I think it started in 2016 :))
Shallon I’ve been logging in everyday, so excited for your Montana story!!! We all can’t wait to hear it 😍. So inspiring and sooo scary to start over but you will make friends quickly and have a wonderful life there. Sorry not sorry that lea Michelle is not as interesting as shallon 😂
You’re glowing Shallon!
dude this girllllllll!! Shallon, u r gorgeous, PERIOD.
Shallon, I really enjoy listening to the way you discuss and describe things and views I had never thought of before but make such sense.
Regardless if you always get it right, it relates to me almost every time you have a subject to talk about.
You can always find something similar that can relate back to my own life sure.. but again, how you see personality’s are so alike to my own it’s full on.
I can not write to save my life so please excuse how terrible my grammar ect ect is lol
Yes ma’am definitely a lot of Karen’s here in Australia 😂
We often called them Susan though, we’ve definitely adopted the Karen term now too, lol
Karens come in all races. My downstairs neighbor is black and she's been a karen to me since the second she met me.
Shallon, still waiting for that Mary-Kate video!
Reminds me of Mean Girls in a way. Some girls think they are not bullies because they don't act like Regina George. Worse than a Regina George type is a Janice Ian type, a cry bully.
Hey Shallon! Will you do a video on what Stassi said on her podcast about BLM and her calling the cops on Faith?
👀👀👀 hmmm this sounds interesting
what did she say?
Shallon do a video on Amanda Peet and her husband David Benioff, the co creator and guy who ruined Game of Thrones.
Yes please!
In Germany we have those Karens who always have to critize everyone and everything (I once heard that in Germany critizing is seen more intellectual that being always satisfied and easy). We call them Karen or (male version) Justus Aurelius. Justus Aurelius is the son of doctors and also considers himself as one since elementary school. He always needs to be treated specially. Now he is studying medicine and is sponsored by his parents which is why he doesn't understand his priviledge.
I just love how Lea thrives despite the constant waves of hate.
Please talk more about money issues! It's a big issue for me, and I loved your Kylie video, and I want similar ones!!
Your hair is especially bomb in this vid 😍😍😍 damn so basically we are learning today lea is literally who her character was on glee. One thing before I get into your video and hear you likely mention it yourself, I’m calling it now that she’s taking out much of her pain about her boyfriend dying of that heroin overdose/ her costar Corey, seemingly he was like the love of her life! That’s probably her hurt locker because I know it’s mine (the love of my life died of a heroin overdose in early 2017 😭) I know I can be a mean Karen as well, and mainly that’s when I began to feel “entitled” to heroin myself, because of all the pain it gave to me taking away the one I loved the most. I never tried heroin when he was alive, but once he died I truly felt like it owed me like that, learned the hard way I made a terrible mistake. But now my healing I’m working on isn’t just for my sake, but for his 🤍🙏😇 I don’t know what your take is on the paranormal- but I feel him everywhere and experience his presence everyday! Also, I swear when he was alive he was literally the male version of myself, and loving him was the ultimate way of the universe and God into tricking me into falling in love with myself. Hence now that he is “gone” I realiZe the more I love and get to know myself the more I further get to discover him!
White women being offended by being called Karen is so annoying. Of course stereotypes are hurtful but you learn to live with it. Karen is not a stereotype towards white women. Karen is a label placed on a behavior caused by the entitlement of a white woman. All white women aren't Karen's yet, some are or can be. There is a difference, and it is very important to realise that difference.
Another thing, white priveledge is a societal construction due to systematic racism. Changing the phrase to white entitlement is not enough. White entitlement seems like something that someone personally goes through while, white priveledge is an entire societal construction.
Realise the difference. As you all know, words have power.
@Warda yes, you are so right
For me, power=saying NO. Because of childhood abusement and suppression, I guess. I used to be the victim, now I am the one who calls the shots: I end a relationship, cut a friend off, quit a job. Usually I feel guilty about people I leave behind. I know I shouldn't, though. I don't know if it's bad but I am happy with my choices. :)
Priviledge is not just about a social status, it goes beyond gender, sexuality, skin color, education, culture and language. All these factors give you this "entitlement", as you call it. Priviledge is both tangible and intangible. I believe, we all should keep working on awknowledging our different privileges to overcome the biases we have very internalized.
"what creates a Karen" bwahahaaa I'm dead. lol
"Australia is the Texas of the British Empire
I think this should go viral 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You killed me
Those types of Karens have always been around. They haven't recently morphed. Emmett Till's accuser was a Karen after all.
