‘SoHo Karen’ Miya Ponsetto Bizarrely Snaps At Gayle King In Bonkers CBS Interview Hours Before Arrest

by

Miya Ponsetto, the woman seen in a viral video falsely accusing the 14-year-old son of jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold of stealing her iPhone and proceeding to attack the teenager inside of a hotel in Manhattan has now been arrested in California. The 22-year-old was apprehended by Ventura County deputies on Thursday and is being held without bail as she waits to be extradited to New York City to face charges for the alleged assault.

The NYPD had issued a warrant for Ponsetto’s arrest and detectives recently traveled to California to question her about the attack.

Ponsetto, 22, kept driving when Ventura County deputies tried to stop her near her Piru home around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, local police said.

But she wouldn’t stop until she pulled up to her home — and even then refused to get out of her car, police said.

“She tried to slam the door on one of the deputies and that’s when they just reached in and forcibly removed her,” department Capt. Eric Buschow told the Associated Press, adding that the sheriff’s office would request that county prosecutors charge her with resisting arrest.

Hours before her arrest Ponsetto sat down with CBS’s Gayle King and delivered a bizarre on-camera interview that made her look worse in the process.

During the interview, Ponsetto shushed King and told her “enough” when King was trying to explain to her why it was wrong to falsely accuse and attack a black teenager.

Ponsetto once again pissed off the Internet by giving Gayle King an attitude during her interview.
