Husband of California ’Karen’ Fired For Recording His Wife’s Racist Incident; Wife Apologizes: ”I Should Have Minded My Own Business”

The husband of a California “Karen,” who called the police on a Filipino resident for stenciling “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on his own property, was fired from his job on Monday.

Robert Larkin was let go by wealth management company Raymond James after they caught wind of the viral footage.

“Raymond James has zero-tolerance for racism and discrimination of any kind,” the company said on Twitter. “An inclusive workplace is fundamental to our culture, one in which people are free to bring their whole selves to their careers, and we expect our associates to conduct themselves appropriately inside and outside the workplace.” The firm added, “After an investigation into the circumstances of a video alleging racism by one of our associates, we have concluded that the actions of he and his partner were inconsistent with our values, and the associate is no longer employed by Raymond James.”

The “Karen,” who was identified as Lisa Alexander, issued a statement on Sunday saying that she was “deeply sorry” for her “racist” actions. Alexander told property owner James Juanillo, who has been a resident of Gough Street for 18 years, that he was illegally writing in chalk on a retaining wall, which was his own property.

Alexander, who is the CEO of San Francisco based skincare company, LaFace Skincare, also went on to say, “I want to apologize directly to Mr. Juanillo. There are not enough words to describe how truly sorry I am for being disrespectful to him last Tuesday when I made the decision to question him about what he was doing in front of his home. I should have minded my own business. The last 48 hours has taught me that my actions were those of someone who is not aware of the damage caused by being ignorant and naive to racial inequalities,” she continued.

The official website for LaFace Skincare has since been taken offline.

Juanillo said that Alexander “decided to call men with guns because of chalk art” and also revealed that “this isn’t the first time I’ve experienced fear or even loathing that just kind of creeps out.”

Despite the traumatizing ordeal, Juanillo has decided to take the high road and has agreed to meet with Alexander, an offer in which she jumped at, likely in an effort to regain her husband’s employment and ease the much-earned backlash.

“I would love to have coffee with Mr. Juanillo in our neighborhood so I can apologize in person and share a dialogue where I can continue to learn and grow and be a better person,” Alexander stated.

So far, there is no word on if that meeting has taken place.
