Laguna Beach woman lashes out at beachgoers in viral ‘Karen’ video

A heated confrontation between a homeowner and a family of beachgoers in Laguna Beach, California, is going viral on social media.

A video shared last week on TikTok by Rosie Garcia (@rosiecheeks_irl) shows an angry woman berating Garcia and her children, whom she accused of crossing onto her property at Victoria Beach in the upscale SoCal community.

“Get f***ing moving. I’m not joking around!” the woman shouts while attempting to rope off a section of sand in front of an existing rope barrier. “It’s not harassment on the beach. It’s harassment in my home property … Get moving now!”

The video, titled “Karen on Laguna Beach,” had more than 860,000 views as of Thursday afternoon. It does not show what preceded the woman’s tirade. However, Garcia claims they were never on her property.

“Ma’am, we’re f***ing walking,” Garcia replied as she and the children walked toward the stairs to leave the beach, the video shows.

“Pretty f***ing slow,” the homeowner fired back.

The video ends with more profanity and the beachgoer calling the woman “Karen of the week.”

According to the California Coastal Commission, all beaches are public up to the mean high tide line.
