During her appearance on the podcast, Brown admitted to being an active reviewer, prompting co-host Jessie to inquire if she employed a pseudonym for anonymity. Confirming this, Brown revealed to Buzzfeed News, “I have a fake name… Because I think it’s important, you know? My whole life is people criticizing me. So I’m gonna give it back to you sometimes.”

Sharing anecdotes from her experiences, Brown recounted an incident at a hotel with her fiancé, where she encountered a persistent staff member pushing for immediate payment. Brown's response to the situation led her to leave a review advising the establishment to encourage guests to settle payments at the end of their stay.

“And the woman was pulling my fiancé aside, like, ‘We need to settle payment or whatever,'” she revealed. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, like we will, but at the end of our stay. We’re still staying here.’ And she was like, ‘But you could settle it now.’ And I was like, ‘But I don’t want to.'”

In another encounter, Brown recalled assisting an elderly lady in a store who mistook her for an employee. Despite her efforts, the actual employee's lack of assistance prompted Brown to leave a review highlighting the unsatisfactory service.

When questioned about her actions and whether she identifies as "a Karen," Brown humorously acknowledged, "Okay, I’m A Karen, and I don’t want to say — listen, I do think it’s important to know where you went wrong, and [there’s] always room for improvement."
