Miya Ponsetto, the woman who attacked a Black teenager after falsely accusing him of stealing her phone, snapped at Gayle King in a recent interview, hushing her and saying 'Alright, Gayle, enough'

Footage taken by the teen’s father shows Ponsetto aggressively yelling at and pursuing Keyon Harrold Jr., for allegedly stealing her phone at a New York City hotel. Security camera footage also appears to depict Ponsetto tackling the teen. Her phone turned up at the hotel moments later.

In the interview, which has now gone viral, Ponsetto donned a black baseball cap with the word “Daddy,” which King said Ponsetto’s attorney asked her to remove. As King pressed her to directly address the accusations against her, Ponsetto curtly replied, “Alright, Gayle, enough,” after which her lawyer turned to her and said, “No, stop, stop.”Ponsetto also said during the interview that she could have handled the situation better and considers herself to be a “sweet” person.

Ponsetto circumvented directly addressing issues of racism and profiling, by stating that she was “doing her part” in helping the hotel staff track down her phone, although she admits she was not stopping everyone leaving the lobby.In response to King saying the footage shows Ponsetto “going nuts, for lack of a better term,” Ponsetto said, “I don’t feel that’s who I am as a person.

I was wearing a Trump hat and two black young guys came to attacked me, but as a crazy Puertorican Vietnam vet with martial arts experienced , i almost killed both of them. Lucky kids i gave them a brake to lived a little longer.

This kid is disordered. Can't give a good account of the order of events. Doesn't sound like she gets discipline for bad actions. Avoids responsibility. Probably should have had adult supervision in NY. How many phones has she lost in 2020?

Oh my God! Someone who isn’t white can’t commit crime! That’s not part of the liberal narrative!

I watched that. Gayle is a great interviewer.

She’s nuts

Daddy’s girl is going places. He must be so proud!

Gen Z. Real different.

She’s clearly mentally ill. This is actually not cool. She needs help.

Draw dropping 😂

Adult life in todays era is your resume be careful what you put on it- Colin Cowherd

Just trying to get her 15...

What a total Brat.

No one raised her right

i will vote in Miya Ponsetto, she's famous, now

This little girl needs to be taught matters. If I were Gayle, I wouldn't have let her get away with the 'enough Gayle' stuff.

Can you call a woman a “punk”?

Arrogant lady. She deserves every bit of that prosecution. Shameful.

This woman seems mentally unbalanced. Is she on drugs?

“I am a sweet girl”, who attacked a child!

“If he felt like I assaulted him” oh no honey, you did, there’s no ‘if’ about it.

Send this garbage to jail please

She’s gross

Gayle should have snatched that hat off that teenager's head and smacked the crap out of her. It probably would have been the only discipline this child has ever seen

Cause she’s what, Klassy! With a K.

Racist

I hope we learned our lesson with the cash me outside girl. Don’t reward her with a show or anything that validates this type of behavior.

Seems TOTALLY innocent to me!
