In case you forgot the story.

quote:

Amy Cooper was not the internet’s first “Karen” — the pejorative used for a demanding, entitled white woman. But as the Central Park dog walker who went viral for calling the police on a black birdwatcher last year, she quickly became the paragon of the archetype.

Within 24 hours, Amy Cooper had been doxxed, fired from her job, and surrendered her dog. She wound up fleeing the country. She hasn’t spoken publicly since last summer. Until now.

In a wide-ranging interview with Kmele Foster, friend of Honestly and co-host of The Fifth Column, we revisit the story of what happened in the park that day. We show what the media intentionally left out of the story. And we examine the cost of mob justice.

Is this a recap or is there new information of substance?

Last time I was in Central Park, I'm pretty sure I saw and heard Yoko Ono screeching around.

She talks about the larger context of the interaction she had with the man. Including the words that were exchanged prior to the start of the video. With the context she provides, it appears that he was already aggressively harassing* her and that what was caught on the guy's video was her being hysterical after being pushed the edge for several minutes.

*This guy's beef was that she didn't have a leash on her dog.

Edit: And her account is (at least somewhat) corrobarated by the offical 911 transcript.

...Also, corroborated by the man's initial Facebook post after the incident happened, but before it went viral (when the story was taking on a life of its own and the narrative had been set).
