Whitney Kayla Wyatt aka racist Karen (lawyer lady) goes on epic racist meltdown towards staff at Indianapolis check in counter as social media weights in.
Video has captured the moment a woman having an ‘epic’ meltdown, where she is heard using racial slurs, towards Southwest Airlines staff during a recent check in.
Whitney Kayla Wyatt, 30, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement following the incident at the Indianapolis International Airport on Sunday.

Southwest Airlines employees were cursed out by a racist woman who says she works at a law firm. She was traveling with two small children and a dog.
Saying one of the children was traveling for surgery made the encounter even worse. Stress is no excuse. This is who she is. pic.twitter.com/tCB4TfOgr1

Define airport decorum?
Southwest Airlines workers said the ‘altercation’ began when they informed Wyatt her bag was five pounds over the weight limit and that she had to remove the old tags on it, according to the airport police report obtained by the dailymail.
An incensed Wyatt in turn, who informed hapless workers that she ‘worked at a law firm’ proceeded to hurl racial slurs at staff after she allegedly refused to take anything out of her bag and demanded they do it for her.
‘Go ahead and be a f*****g c**t. Stupid a** f*****g n****r a*s b***h. I need to get on my flight,’ the irate woman said.
Continued the ‘aggressive’ would be traveller.
‘I work at a law firm, do not f*****g come at me like that, don’t say “first of all.” I am freaking out right now. Look, I have two small children, I have a dog,’ Wyatt said.
‘Look ma’am I have two small children and a dog, my child came here for a very important surgery that he couldn’t have, I really need help.’
Social media responds
Police said they gave the traveler several verbal warnings to stop, which Wyatt refused to do naturally before then resisting arrest, according to the police report.
‘Wyatt continued pulling her arms away and began to drop her weight, trying to fall to the ground while officers were attempting to put her arms behind her back,’ the report said.
‘Wyatt continuously screamed obscenities at officers and yelled loudly throughout the entire encounter.’
Penny Thomson, the woman who shared the video on social media, captioned it: ‘Wow! This is how some people act when they do not get their way. So impressed with the staff at Southwest. They kept it professional. What’s sad is her kids saw this and it didn’t even phase them.’
Told Thomson via the dailymail: ‘[Wyatt] went nuts and calling them names. The police were called and we could hear her screaming as they ‘escorted’ off the property.
Commenters were stunned to see the woman would behave that way in front of her children.
‘In front of the kids?!?!?!? I feel sorry for them, and the poor dog,’ one person said.
‘I feel so bad for the kids. They will grow up thinking what their mother said is ok,’ another said.
Do you suppose?
Fallout?
Others were shocked at how she treated the employees and impressed at their ability to stay calm while the woman berated them.
Reflected one user: ‘Saying one of the children was traveling for surgery made the encounter even worse. Stress is no excuse. This is who she is.’
‘I just gasped out loud! No one deserves to be treated this way,’ said one commenter.
‘I was like ok she’s just really stressed out about the surgery and then ooop,’ another social media user stated.
‘I gasped once… and the immediately gasped again at the next sentence!!! These southwest ladies deserve recognition for keeping their cool, cus I’m not sure I could have,’ another person said.
‘I’ve been frustrated and upset, but I’ve never called anyone names and definitely haven’t used racial slurs,’ stated another.
‘That’s something she’s used to saying and very comfortable with it. Disgusting human.’
Another person said: ‘I understand she is struggling and panicking but she lost all sympathy when she started being rude especially with the n word now nobody gonna help you lady.’
While another stated, ‘She need to be fired’.
To date Wyatt’s legal employer (yet to be revealed) has not responded to the weekend episode.
Aren’t you glad airport decorum is the thing of savage fun take downs when travelers lose the plot and their manners?
