The internet is obsessed with the iconic Karen Minty from Netflix's 'You'
10 January 2019, 18:57
Good morning to Karen Minty and Karen Minty ONLY.
Netflix's You is quite the journey from start to finish. The show's main characters all lead incredibly dramatic lives, including Joe who kills people. One character, Karen Minty (played by Natalie Paul), has earned the internet's respect after escaping Joe's tangled (and deadly) web unscathed.
Karen Minty really is the sensible unsung hero of You and people better put some respect on her name.
First of all, Karen didn't waste any time feeling sad after Joe broke things off.

Karen Minty DIPPED. Joe said it’s over and sis packed her shit with a swiftness. The only bitch in that show I ever respected #YouNetflix

Joe cheated on Karen and let Beck call her "little Karen Minty". When it came time to end the relationship, Karen gathered her things and left Joe to his shenanigans without another word. Now THAT is a smart woman capable of assessing the situation.
People respected the hell out of Karen Minty.
Karen was fun, organised, and a fan of bad 2000s sitcoms. Honestly, Joe did not deserve her.

And, if you remember, Karen Minty even tried to warn Beck about Joe.
Did Karen have to warn Beck? No. But she did anyway which means that she's a real one.

The moral of this story is: 🗣LISTEN TO BLACK WOMEN.

After seeing how well Karen handled the Joe situation, we ALL have a playbook for how we're dealing with shenanigans in 2019. Be the Karen Minty you want to see in the world.
