Are you looking for where to watch Karen? BET’s new social media-inspired thriller starring Orange is the New Black star Taryn Manning has had social media buzzing for a while. Can you stream the Karen movie on Netflix?

If you’ve been active on social media throughout this past year, you’ve probably heard people mentioning the term “Karen.” A “Karen” is a term coined to refer to, usually, white, middle-aged women that lash out at non-white people.

That said, calling someone a “Karen” or joking about people with the “can I speak to the manager” haircut has been a meme online for several years. It just went into the mainstream during the COVID lockdown and rise of social justice protests.
