‘Soho Karen’ pressed for apology by Gayle King shortly before being arrested for iPhone attack

The woman who physically attacked and falsely accused a Black teen of stealing her iPhone at a SoHo hotel in New York City addressed the situation in a new interview with CBS This Morning anchor Gayle King. Shortly after the interview took place on Thursday (7 January), she was arrested by Ventura County Police in Piru, California.

Miya Ponsetto, 22, spoke to King with her lawyer present and defended herself as "super sweet", saying it was not her "intention" to hurt the teen (identified as 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr), who did not have her cell phone. (It was returned to her later.)
