Hotels are apparently the preferred location for the so-called “Soho Karen”, which falsely accused a black teenager of stealing her iPhone in a violent confrontation captured on video in Manhattan.
It turns out that 10 months before she supposedly went crazy in a Soho lobby the day after Christmas, Miya Ponsetto, 22, was arrested in February after she and her mother reportedly caused a disturbance at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills by refusing to leave. , according to TMZ.
The Post detailed that California criminal case against Ponsetto and his mother Nicole, who were accused of public poisoning in the incident.
But the TMZ account adds new details.
Hotel officials asked the women to leave and called the police when the pair refused – only to have Nicole Ponsetto allegedly assault a police officer by pushing and kicking the police officer, TMZ reported.
The mother faces an additional charge of assaulting a police officer and the two women are expected to go to court later this month.
The incident apparently did little to scare Ponsetto – just a day after being accused of public intoxication by the Peninsula Hotel incident on May 27, she was assaulted for drunk driving in Los Angeles County, where she claimed not to contest, TMZ said.
Ponsetto faces potential charges in New York, including assault, theft or attempted theft, the NYPD said.
She is wanted by the NYPD for allegedly attacking 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. at the Hotel Arlo on December 26.
Ponsetto is currently with his mother in California, where the Post photographed her on Friday as she grabbed a fast-food snack, saying to our lens man, “I don’t know what the problem is here” and “I’m also Puerto Rican, so, thanks. ”
“She was a popular girl, one of the cheerleaders, a grade older than me” at Simi Valley High School in California, another former student told The Post on Saturday.
“She wouldn’t even look in your direction if she thought you weren’t important or if you didn’t have the money,” said former student Vannessa Stoerchle, now from Phoenix.
“But I was really surprised to see that,” she said.
“Strange to see someone in high school who was a popular girl end up like this. I never thought that Miya would end up drawing a racial profile for someone like that, ”she added.
“She was one of those girls who seemed to have everything delivered to her.”
