A woman who was sitting courtside at State Farm Arena in Atlanta was ejected from the arena.
She was driven away after a verbal altercation involving her husband and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
She responded furiously on social networks following the incident.

The game was in the last leg with a little over eight minutes to go when the woman, identified as Juliana Carlos, and her husband, Chris Carlos, got into a heated exchange with James on the court.

During the argument, Juliana pulled down her face mask to shout at the athlete, prompting the on-court referees to huddle with arena security, who escorted the couple out of the building.

Video footage of the incident shows James exchanging words with Juliana, who was on the courtside, before security steps in.

In a series of videos posted on Instagram, Juliana claimed she got kicked out because she told James “I’m going to f*ck you up” after he cussed out her husband, who who she described as a “Hawks fan” who had “this issue with LeBron.”

She goes on to say she was “minding her own business” and drinking her wine when James said something to Chris, prompting her to lash out at the NBA star before she was escorted out of the arena.

“All of a sudden, I’m getting kicked out,” she says. “Excuse me, I have courtside seats that I pay for. F— you, LeBron. … You’re going to let a 25-year-old girl intimidate you during a game?”

“Courtside Karen” is now trending on Twitter and has become the subject of memes on the micro-blogging platform with some social media users comparing her to the “Woman Yelling at a cat meme” while others raised doubts over her claimed age.
