The unidentified attorney is seen in the video footage losing her cool with a fellow flyer who had just ripped into her for failing to follow the proper deboarding etiquette.
“You’re all whining for no reason,” she is heard saying to everyone within earshot, per footage posted on TikTok earlier this week. “Just get up when you want to – just deal with it, people, my God.”
“Wait for the people in front of you to get off, that’s how we do it,” one man said to the woman.
“Shut your mouth!” she responded.
And that’s when things began to get a bit more unhinged.
A baby can be heard screaming in the background while a second passenger chants “Karen! Karen!” – a reference to how he believed she was being smug and entitled.
“(You’re) being the real Karens, because you’re making noise about it,” she snapped back.

After telling a passenger to “shut the f— up,” the lawyer lashed out at another man who had criticized her for swearing, according to the viral footage.
“Given your accent, I can tell you’ve said the F-bomb,” she said of the passengers’ Southern dialect, which prompted a woman seated nearby to weigh in.
“You can be a jerk, but you’re not gonna insult someone because of an accent – we’re not doing that,” the passenger said.
“You’re clearly racist,” a man off camera is heard telling the lawyer – to which the attorney pointed out that everyone involved is “white” and that it’s actually “xenophobic” to insult someone’s accent, not racist.
It wasn’t immediately clear when the footage was recorded or on which airline the argument occurred.
