The Internet has misidentified two women as being the “Phillies Karen” and one has allegedly personally denied that she’s the woman in the video, and another had their place of employment release a statement as well.
If you don’t know the backstory behind the immediately-viral video, at the September 5 Phillies vs. Marlins game, a homerun ball was banger into the stands. A man ran to get the ball and handed it to his son. A woman in the video – who has been dubbed “Phillies Karen” – marched over and appeared to get in an altercation with the man over who rightfully owned that ball. The man was so startled he took the ball from his child and gave it to her.

One woman was named reportedly Cheryl, and she allegedly denied any involvement!
“Ok everyone. I’m NOT the lit Philly Mom (but I sure would love to be as thin as she is and move as speedy)… and I’m a Red Sox fan!” she seemingly posted on Facebook.
There was another woman named Lisa who the Internet found. However, Lisa‘s place of employment, Hammonton School District, actually released a statement saying it was not her.
“The woman identified on social media as ‘Phillies Karen’ is not, and has never been an employee of the Hammonton Public Schools located in Hammonton, New Jersey,” they posted on their Facebook. “Anyone who works for our school district, attended as a student or lives in our community would obviously have caught the ball bare-handed in the first place, avoiding this entire situation!”
New video of the situation actually revealed what the woman said to the man in their heated argument. The man also gave an interview where he revealed why he gave the ball to her.
