A white woman and self-described “MAGA brat” in New York City is refusing to apologize after being caught on film calling a Black bakery employee the n-word when she was refused service for refusing abide by the store’s mask mandate. Stephanie Denaro — who the internet has since dubbed “Bagel Karen” — instead doubled down on her decision to throw a racist tantrum in front of multiple onlookers that included her own young biracial children, going so far as to say that when she called the Black employee a “bitch ass n*****” it was a “term of endearment.”

Denaro has previously been filmed denying that COVID-19 exists and asking women if they were “antifa” (which she described as “not MAGA” and “the opposite of MAGA”). She also asked, “How many Black guys have you ****ed?” When one woman asked Denaro how many people died from COVID-19, she responded by saying, “How my people died of the flu?”
Denaro offered a defense of her behavior on Wednesday, claiming the true bigotry is denying white people the right to use the n-word freely.
“I’m sorry I said something like that in front of my children,” she told the New York Daily News. “But to say a variance of a word is off limits because of somebody’s skin tone? That’s just a weird way form of gate-keeping. If a Black mother was using these words, wouldn’t it be child abuse too?”

In an interview with U.K.-based news outlet The Daily Mail, Denaro said she believes the entire coronavirus pandemic was concocted as part of an elaborate scheme to prevent Donald Trump’s re-election.
“This was all about President Trump and getting him out of office. It was a hoax—mail-in ballots, everything,” she said. “It’s a satanic ritual and I’m a Christian and I am not going to cover my face.”

She also explicitly refused to offer an apology to the bakery worker.
“I live in New York City, I’m from New York City. [The n-word] is something you hear people say constantly,” she said. “It’s constantly being said. It’s not just Black people who say it. It’s a term of endearment.”
Denaro also said the Black employee was “violating my HIPAA.”
