Imogen Anthony has admitted she turned into a ‘Karen’ during a run-in with some children in Byron Bay this week.
The ex-girlfriend of KIIS FM star Kyle Sandilands is currently enjoying a getaway in the picturesque coastal town.
Imogen, 33, took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal she was forced to give some children a stern talking to after she witnessed them tormenting the local fauna.
She shared a short clip that showed a pelican preening itself on the sand, revealing the animal was a target of some holidaying kids.
‘I saw two kids torturing this pelican by chasing and throwing stuff at it,’ she wrote over the video.
Imogen added that the sight of the children tormenting the pelican forced her into ‘Karen’ mode.

‘I went Karen on their a**es and threatened to find their accommodation and talk to their parents,’ she revealed.
Imogen then offered some words of advice for parents who would let their children behave in such a way.
‘Don’t have kids if you cant teach them to do the right thing. Over entitled little s***s that have no care for animals whatsoever,’ she wrote.
That wasn’t the end of the situation, however, with Imogen saying she had to chastise the children a second time.
Captioning the video, Imogen wrote: ‘Worst part is they came back when they thought I was gone.
‘But, little did they know, I could still see them and I had to tell them off a again… ridiculous.’
Imogen ended her post with: ‘Kids or not, we should be teaching them to respect animals, not to torment them for viewing pleasure.’
Imogen’s post was met with a flurry of comments from fans and followers with most agreeing with the social media star’s actions.

‘I love how you are the voice for these beautiful creatures !! Never stop being authentically you. Such a beautiful soul,’ one fan wrote.
Another chimed in, praising Imogen for displaying restraint with the errant children.
‘I would have literally waited and followed them home,’ one follower offered, while another replied with: ‘I would have recorded it to show their parents.’
Summing up the sentiment of many, a third offered: ‘So many people do not have empathy for animals and it disgusts me.’
Imogen and her ex-boyfriend Kyle Sandilands were together for eight years.
The media titan announced his shock split from the Big Brother VIP star on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in November 2019.
She has sine moved on with new partner Harley Jones, with the pair tying the knot during a Vegas wedding in 2022.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at Australian Fashion Week in 2024, the social media star ruled out a ‘real-life wedding’ and said the couple won’t be starting a family anytime soon.
‘No, I’m unconventional. That’s how I roll,’ she said. ‘I’m not in any rush for anything like that. I’m in no rush to have kids.’
However, she didn’t completely rule out the idea of babies in the future.
‘Maybe one day. It’s not out of the picture, out of the question. I’m just not, I ain’t racing. I’m good,’ she added.
Meanwhile, Kyle has since moved on with wife Tegan Kynaston, whom he married in 2023.
The couple also share a son, Otto, who they welcomed into the world in August 2022.
