Flower Mound Karen aka Tonya Chadwell of Texas goes on cringe racist tirade against Hispanic DoorDash driver only to be widely reviled on social media following interaction going viral on TikTok and social media mis-identifying the wrong Tonya!
A Texas woman has gone viral but for all the wrong reasons after viral video captured her going on a racist tirade and accusing a female DoorDash driver of being an illegal along with telling her to speak her ‘language back in Mexico.’
Video posted by what appears to be the victim showed the un-identified Karen (pejorative for entitled white woman) hurling a series of racially charged insults as the driver sat in her car.

‘Go speak your language back in Mexico,’
It’s unclear what sparked the run-in, with footage showing the seemingly unhinged woman confronting the driver ‘because you’re an illegal.’
‘You don’t live in Flower Mound and you’re DoorDashing,’ the woman yells, referring to the town located north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
‘You know what, why are you entitled to be here with an illegal car?’
Attempting to respond, ‘Flower Mound Karen’ retorts, ‘No speak English?’
‘Yeah,’ the un-identified driver replies.
‘Then speak it… Go speak your language back in Mexico,’ Karen shouts.
Karen proceeds to accuses the driver of ‘taking away jobs’ as she proceeds to take photos of the driver’s license plate.
Yes kids, this sh*t is real. Or is it? But there’s more.
Karen demands to to see the delivery worker’s driver’s license, leading to the DoorDasher to ask if she is a police officer.
Yes kids, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry either …
Mis-identified Tonya Chadwell leads to legal defense fundraiser started
The clip, originally posted on TikTok under the name, @kpinero September 24, had racked up more than 280,000 views and over 4600 comments on the platform as of Friday evening.
The poster wrote a caption expressing frustration with ‘acts of discrimination and aggression’ against Spanish-speaking people in the United States and said she deserves to be treated with respect.
The episode (is anyone surprised?) has since led to internet sleuths seeking to identify Flower Mound Karen. It wasn’t long before the crazed woman was identified as 58-year- old woman, Tonya Chadwell of Flower Mound.
That in turn led to the wrong Tonya Chadwell being hounded on social media, leading to her pleading that the web had misidentified her as the racist Karen.
Posted Chadwell of Tennessee on her Facebook page three hours ago, ‘Today Has definitely been crazy, a News organization reached out to me, I have also spoken to the FBI, and was advised that I needed to retain an attorney. I do not have funds for this so if anyone would like to help out, I would greatly appreciate it.’
Posted alongside the appeal was a GoFundme fundraiser, titled, ‘Stand with Tonya: Legal Defense Needed.’
Stated the fundraiser in part, ‘Hi, my name is Tonya, and I am reaching out for support during one of the most difficult times of my life. I never imagined I would be in a position where I would need to ask for help, but right now I am being attacked online and was advised that I needed to retain an attorney. I’m the only source of income in my home and do not have the money for an attorney.
Racist Karen daughter apologizes on behalf of mom
But it gets wilder…
A social media user, under the handle, tayechadwell_, purported to be Karen’s daughter, Taye Chadwell took to social media to apologize on behalf of her mother, stating in part, ’Unfortunately my mother is who she is. I would like to start off by sincerely apologizing to this woman for having to experience this and for the public having to watch this.
‘I am completely and utterly embarrassed and saddened by my mother’s actions and do not condone or support this kind of behavior at all.
‘As a matter of fact, my mother and I have not had a relationship or been on speaking terms for quite awhile due to this type of behavior, aggression, and her racism towards my Hispanic boyfriend.
‘I wish to not be associated with her or this video in any way.’
