The clip was captured by a woman, Ijeoma Ukenta, who appears to have been charged at by another woman who proceeds to have a crying fit in the middle of the store once she realizes she is being videotaped, reports New York Post.
The incident caused an uproar on social media as users called the woman the “Victoria’s Secret Karen” after breaking down on the ground after Ukenta alleged that the woman tried to hit her.
The viral video shows the blonde causing a scene and breaking down in the middle of the Victoria’s Secret store in Millburn, New Jersey. In the clip, the woman began wailing on the floor after Ukenta started recording.
The beginning of the clip shows the "Karen" charging towards the camera with her hand raised in the air. Once she realized she was being videotaped, the "Karen" proceeded to yell at Ukenta, complain about being recorded and even writhe on the ground by the store's register in emotional protest.
Ukenta claimed she had her phone out to protect herself and prove what happened while waiting for police to arrive, per TMZ. She was also nervous that the woman would make false claims about how the incident went down.
The woman told police that she was yelling at Ukenta to put down her phone because she was scared that she would face backlash.
Victoria's Secret posted a statement on its official Twitter account addressing the "unsettling" episode and disclosing that it has launched a "full investigation."
The Mall at Short Hills, where the moment took place, also addressed the incident with the following statement on Facebook, per NJ.com.
“We certainly take this matter very seriously. We never want a single customer to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome at The Mall at Short Hills. We sincerely apologize to Ms. Ukenta for her experience.”
