She thought it would be her word against his, and that the police would believe her.

This woman took advantage of her white privilege to verbally assault and then to commit battery on an underage teenager. I hope the justice system does its job all over her ass.

Online records show Ponsetto was arrested twice in 2020. She was charged on September 1 in West Los Angeles by the California Highway Patrol with driving while her license was suspended and failure to obey traffic lanes. She was previously charged on February 28 with public intoxication after an incident at LAX airport.

Few other details about Ponsetto have been uncovered. She has an Etsy page where she has favorited items including jewelry, masks and iPhone cases. Ponsetto also has an ExploreTalent acting and modeling that appears to be from when she was younger.

The fact that the manager allowed her to accost current paying guests, a child at that, and assist her in her interrogation, demanding that this young man give up or show her his phone is outrageous.

I shudder to think what would have happened if his father was not present. I shudder to think if this young man was of a lower economic status and this happened on the street.

I’m not allowed to have any electronics that are not encased in rubber and plastic so I didn’t hear it hit the concrete floor when it fell out of my pocket.

I was frantic for about two minutes before I found the nice cashier who picked it up and placed it in a locked drawer.

It’s really ridiculous we carry around thousand dollar gadgets in our pockets. I wonder what my parents would think. I remember the look on their faces when I let it slip I spent $150 bucks on a shirt.

they just said she accused him of stealing her phone, bad enough, but made no mention of her physically assaulting him.

She should be charged with assault.
