The ‘Train Karen’ Brianna Pinnix was seen outside her Manhattan apartment Monday, in her first public appearance since going viral for drunkenly berating German tourists on the subway.
The high-flying recruitment specialist lost her job at pharmacy giant Capital Rx after footage of her screaming abuse at the travelers on a New Jersey Transit train went viral.
Pinnix was seen outside her residence in Manhattan in a white hooded sweatshirt, sunglasses and Beats headphones.
She resides in Yorkville, ironically an historically German immigrant neighborhood, with many German beer halls and butcher shops and even a church that was formally a German evangelical church.
The former pharmaceutical employee has since been accused of an additional xenophobic tirade against a Scottish boss.

During the confrontation, Pinnix, who appeared drunk, is seen becoming increasingly aggressive towards the group of young travelers, questioning where they came from before shouting ‘lets not let immigrants take up our country…how about you get the f*** out of our country.’
After her identity was revealed by DailyMail.com Capital Rx said in a statement that the ‘company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior.
‘After conducting a review of the circumstances, we acted immediately and terminated the employee in question.
‘The former employee’s actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we offer our sincerest apology to those who were hurt.’
In the video, circulated heavily on social media, the tourists appeared to take the incident in good humor, with only one getting out of their seat, appearing visibly annoyed before calmly sitting back down moments later.
It’s unclear what led to the confrontation or what comments were made to Pinnix.
Pinnix declined an interview request to explain her perspective and to provide context on the situation when reached by DailyMail.com.
A male companion, who does not appear to be Pinnix’s British husband, attempted to diffuse the situation.

In a recent viral video, Pinnix became increasingly aggressive before shouting ‘lets not let immigrants take up our country…how about you get the f**k out of our country’
‘Brie, don’t do this. You could be arrested’ the man pleads, as he takes her by the arm and tries to convince her that the group of men were ‘having a private conversation’ and not trying to start a conflict.
‘Babe, I love you, but get off me’ an increasingly upset Pinnix tells the man as she continues to berate the tourists.
‘Stop this right now, go sit down or I’m never going to talk to you again’ he threatens.
Pinnix eventually takes her seat only to get up again, much to the frustration of the male companion who tells her: ‘I’m an immigrant too, you know that right.’
New Jersey Transit told DailyMail.com the company ‘strongly condemns any behavior of this type’ and its customers are ‘encouraged to report incidents of this nature to train crew members, or they can reach out to NJ TRANSIT Police’.
It was later revealed that Pinnix had been accused of a second xenophobic attack for once calling her former boss a ‘Scottish piece of s***’ and telling him she ‘hoped he would be deported.’
A former colleague described Pinnix as ‘aggressive’ and ‘not a good drunk,’ explaining to DailyMail.com that the unsavory comments were made during a work dispute with Jack Lockerbie on a Teams call during the pandemic.
The colleague, who worked with Pinnix between 2019 and 2022, recalled that she was an ‘HR nightmare’ who colleagues dreaded dealing with.
‘Brianna was not a good drunk, there were always tears and screaming when she drank at work events.
‘It got to the point where she was banned from work social events.’

The former InterQuest colleague, who did not wish to be named, explained that Pinnix, 30, then made a TikTok video series about the former boss, claiming he ‘gaslit her’.
‘None of us that used to work with her are surprised by this video. There was frequent aggressive, angry behavior, she has just been caught out this time’ he said.
DailyMail.com has contacted Lockerbie for comment on the claims but did not immediately hear back.
