A brand new angle from the Philadelphia Phillies game in Miami has revealed that the ‘Phillies Karen’ confronted multiple fans – and flipped off the crowd – after her controversy.
On Friday night, the ‘Phillies Karen’ bullied a dad and his young son into giving her a home run ball – before the entire incident went viral on social media.
Quick-thinking fans caught the interaction on camera. ‘That was ours,’ the belligerent woman yelled at the man – before he handed over the ball he had picked up.
The woman became the victim of a social media grilling and it appears that she also came under fire from fellow Phillies fans who sat around her on the night.
In a brand new angle of the incident, audible boos could be heard ringing around the section in which she sat – before she got up to confront another fan.
The woman marched across to a fan who was seated – and had presumably been heckling her after the home run ball controversy – and shouted in his face.

The man appeared to signal back to the father and son – likely questioning why the woman took the ball from them.
The conversation between the two was short-lived and, as she returned to her seat, was met with more boos from other fans sat around them.
In response, the woman held up the home run ball and, simultaneously, her middle finger. She eventually sat back down as more boos rung out.
The initial viral incident occurred Friday night in a game between Philadelphia and the Miami Marlins in Florida, when Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader smacked a home run to left field at LoanDepot Park.
The ball landed near some Philly fans, in front of a woman who was just a little slow to react.
The woman, the man standing next to her, and two other fans tracking the ball all dove to try and get it. In the end, a man wearing a red Phillies shirt was able to reach down and grab it cleanly.
As he walked off, the woman took a swipe at him and missed as the man got back to his seats and then gave the ball to his son, who looked thrilled.
But the woman just couldn’t stand coming up short, hopped down to the man’s row, and confronted him. Shocked, the man turned to her in a defensive stance with his hands at his face.

Eventually, as she kept yelling, the dad took the ball away from his son and gave it to the woman.
Other angles of the exchanged surfaced on social media thanks to quick-thinking fans that revealed just how irate the mystery woman was.
‘No, you took it from me!’ she yelled in response. ‘You took it from me! That was in my hands. That was in my hands.’
It was at this point that the man relented, taking the baseball from his disappointed son and handing it to the woman.
The Marlins did make amends with the man and his family by offering a gift bag a few innings later. Then, after the Phillies’ 9-3 win, the boy got the chance to meet Bader and receiver an autographed bat.
