18-year-old Zachary Latham of Vineland, NJ was every neighbor's worst nightmare. His favorite pastimes included racing fast cars down Thornhill Road, revving his engine, and terrorizing one family in particular - The Durhams. After recording their countless confrontations, Zachary Latham soon began uploading the videos to TikTok. Using the hashtag #Karen, his content soon went viral and Zachary Latham started gaining more followers. But when the lines become blurred between online personas and real life altercations, someone is bound to get hurt eventually…or even worse. In a case that would soon become controversial headline news across the nation, the very same devices used to upload video content to social media would inevitably capture a neighborhood dispute gone terribly wrong.
Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.
