The “Karen” meme has reportedly inspired a new thriller film starring Orange is the New Black star Taryn Manning.
The term, “Karen,” is often used by social media users to recognize a privileged white woman who often inconveniences others for selfish reasons and acts on racist micro-aggressions.
Recently, the term has been linked with those who are against COVID-19 safety measures such as wearing face masks.
Now, there is apparently a whole new upcoming film about an entitled white woman from the southern US, aptly named Karen White, who attempts to terrorize her new African-American neighbors, per TMZ.
The role will be reportedly undertaken by Manning, who is best known for her character Tiffany “Pennsatucky” Doggett in Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, and written and directed by Coke Daniels.
A ‘KAREN’ movie is in the works with Taryn Manning set to star.
