Shireen Afkari, a 32-year-old tech executive, has been identified as the intoxicated woman at the center of a violent confrontation that erupted inside an upscale San Francisco restaurant over the weekend.
The incident, which was captured on video and quickly circulated online, showed a woman later unmasked as a Strava manager physically attacking restaurant staff after being cut off from alcohol.
What initially appeared to be simply the newest “Karen” meltdown of 2025 took on a different dimension once her identity emerged, along with firsthand accounts from the bartender she assaulted.
