‘DC Karen’ has been banned from Uber after disrupting a racist tirade caught on camera

An angry woman hurled racial slurs at her Uber driver on a DC street in a frantic verbal attack caught on camera.

“I’m hiring you. i am your boss I’m your fucking boss,” the woman, who was dubbed “DC Karen” by social media users, yelled at the Uber driver as they stood on a Cathedral Heights street, according to footage.

“You’re a piece of shit,” she says, before calling him the N-word six times in a row.

The confused Karen also called the Uber driver a “slave,” “schizophrenic,” and “illiterate.”

The Uber driver responded by calling her a coward and a slut.

The heartbreaking altercation was captured in two separate videos, one by a resident of an apartment building on the street and another through the Uber driver himself.

The two appeared to be arguing over a phone charger, although the details aren’t entirely clear. The woman yells several times that she asked the driver for a phone charger. When he suggests she call the police about him, she says, “My phone will die if you can speak English!”

At one point during the tirade, the Uber driver warns the unidentified woman that she will be exposed online because of his video.

“Hey Karen, you’re going to be all over the internet as a racist woman!” the woman’s Uber driver said at one point.

“Yes, I am now. Because I didn’t do anything wrong,” she replies smugly.

“I’m white and you’re not. That’s why you don’t like me. Because I read and write,” Karen says before walking away and yelling the N-word six times in a row.

After the video went viral, Uber announced that “DC Karen” was banned from using the app.

“The behavior seen in the video is disgusting and has no place on the Uber platform or anywhere in society,” an Uber spokesperson said in a statement to The Daily Beast.

None of the person’s identities have been released.
