Stephanie Denaro Controversy
Stephanie Denaro was dubbed “Bakery Karen” after a clip emerged online on March 23, 2021 of a woman hurling racial slurs at a Black bakery employee. The woman was not wearing a mask and when the Lower East Side’s Davidovich Bakery’s worker asked her to leave, she became antagonistic. The video taken by a bystander has since gone viral.
Denaro identified herself as the woman in the clip in an interview with the New York Daily News. “I said, ‘You’re a b***h-a** n*****,’ a term they use,” she said, further elaborating on the incident. “All of my children have a Black father. That’s a term I’ve heard them use all my life.”
This isn’t, however, Denaro’s first shocking incident. But it is definitely the first since she went viral.
Denaro previously supported Bernie Sanders for presidency. She has since switched her loyalty to Donald Trump. Her Instagram since then has been rife with unverified claims, flagged and hidden by Instagram.

She has upped the ante in the past year. Denaro has been vehemently protesting against COVID-19 regulations. She is propagating the claim that COVID-19 is a fake construct against the public. She has also taken on her alma mater, NYU, during the pandemic.
She has participated in protests against the mask mandate. She also refuses to wear a mask, and has met with objections on multiple occasions.
Denaro has boarded a bus at least twice without a mask and disgruntled passengers and the bus driver have gotten off the bus. She also apparently had a similar altercation at a Target store.
Denaro is also demanding for schools to reopen. She has posted emails from her children’s school in response to her sending them unattended to school during the pandemic.
She, along with other parents, and an organization called the Children’s Health Defense has sued the New York City government over the closure of schools. Denaro has also addressed an audience regarding these demands.

While Denaro’s posts didn’t garner much attention before, the bakery incident has led to many flocking to her Instagram. They have disparaged her usage of racist language in her posts and expressed concern that her kids are in danger as long as they are with her.
Additionally, Denaro is a plaintiff in another lawsuit from 2016. She sued the Administration for Children’s Services among other defendants for alleged injuries sustained when a social worker and NYPD officers removed her kids from her home.
