NYC Hospital Worker's Lawyer Vows to Sue Media for Defamation Over Viral Citi Bike Dispute

A New York City healthcare worker, Sarah Comrie, was placed on leave after a video surfaced online showing her fighting with a Black man over a rentable Citi Bike. Comrie's attorney claims the bike was hers all along, showing the receipt for the bike in question. The hospital worker is now in hiding after receiving threats to herself and her family. Comrie was branded as a "Karen" in online posts and local media coverage cast her as the aggressor in the incident. Her attorney is looking at filing defamation claims against news organizations that called her racist and a thief.
