Cheryl Richardson-Wagner, the woman identified as the Phillies “Karen,” has denied that she’s the one who abused a dad and his young son to secure a home run ball during a game on Friday night.
Social media sleuths identified the female fan as the aforementioned, but it appears the search might not be over, because it doesn’t look like she’s the one.
Cheryl Richardson Wagner Says She Isn’t Phillies “Karen” And Isn’t Even A Phillies Fan

One Cheryl Richardson-Wagner has been forced to release a statement via Facebook, insisting that the woman shown in the viral videos is not her, adding she’s actually a Red Sox fan.
“Ok everyone… I’m NOT the crazy Philly Mom (but I sure would love to be as thin as she is and move as fast)… and I’m a Red Sox fan,” she wrote in a post.
One X user claimed to have even called Cheryl, who denied being at the game but was convinced it was her after she asked her to send some ID and got hung up on.
She has since deleted her tweet.
This is false: Cheryl Richardson-Wagner is not the karen from last night’s game.
A few seconds of research would’ve squashed this; instead there are “influencers” ruining some random lady’s weekend.
Literally looks nothing like her, is originally from MA, and is a Pats/Sox fan. https://t.co/xjwAwS1JdJ pic.twitter.com/p18oPfP0M8

Photos of Cheryl show that she looks nothing like the woman seen abusing the father after he retrieved the ball for his son, with X now hitting tweets claiming she’s the one with the dreaded community note.
