Ever since NBA superstar LeBron James clashed with two fans during an L.A. Lakers game in Atlanta, “Courtside Karen” has been trending on social media. LeBron gave that nickname to the woman who was booted from the arena along with her husband for removing their face masks to heckle the future Hall of Fame baller.
The Internet Is Still Roasting Courtside Karen
The fan known as “Courtside Karen” is Juliana Carlos, a self-proclaimed social media influencer. After she and her husband were ejected from the game, Karen/Juliana went on Instagram to unleash a rant against LeBron, which sparked even more ridicule. One thing people can’t get over is the claim that she’s 25 years old.

LeBron said in a post-game interview he missed interacting with fans in the stands and he didn’t actually think the hecklers had to be ejected. Later on he tweeted about it with the now-famous moniker.
“At the end of the day, I’m happy fans are back in the building. I miss that interaction. I need that interaction. We as players need that interaction. I don’t feel like it was warranted to be kicked out.”
