Internet gets it wrong: Phillies Karen misidentified

Turns out, the internet’s search for “Phillies Karen” led to the wrong person. Hammonton Public Schools had to step in and clear up rumors, confirming Cheryl Richardson-Wagner was never their employee—despite social media claims. Richardson-Wagner herself even joked about the mix-up, pointing out she’s a Red Sox fan, not a Phillies supporter. This wild goose chase shows how quickly online rumors can spiral and impact real people. What do you think: Should there be more accountability for spreading false info online, or is this just part of viral culture now? #Education #PhilliesKaren #ViralRumors
