‘Train Karen’ Brianna Pinnix, who drunkenly berated German tourists on NJ train and told them to ‘get the f*** out of my country,’ launches new website touting herself as ‘having compassion for all living beings’
The woman known as “Train Karen,” who drunkenly berated a group of German tourists on a New York train, has launched a new website touting herself as someone who “has compassion for all living things.”
Brianna Pinnix, 30, rose to fame last October when she was filmed on a train telling a group of German tourists to ‘get the hell out of my country’. She was fired from her position at Capital Rx after video of her behavior went viral.
On her personal blog website, Pinnix now bills herself as a “talent acquisition specialist” with “an innate talent for recognizing potential,” highlighting an “impressive career spanning more than eight years.”
Despite accusations of additional xenophobic rants against colleagues following the viral video, she describes her journey as having “started in the quaint suburbs of Ridgewood, New Jersey.”
“Growing up amid the comforting presence of pets, her heart swelled with compassion, not just for her furry companions, but for all living things,” she wrote.

On her personal blog website, Pinnix now bills herself as a “talent acquisition specialist” with “an innate talent for recognizing potential,” highlighting an “impressive career spanning more than eight years.”
In the shocking footage that went viral, Pinnix appeared drunk and towered over a group of tourists as they chatted in their seats.
‘Are you German?’ she asks before aggressively adding, “What did you say, tell me what you said.”
Pinnix becomes increasingly aggressive before shouting, “don’t let immigrants take over our country… how about you get the hell out of our country.”
The tourists seemed to take the incident in good humor, with only one getting out of his seat and appearing visibly annoyed before calmly sitting back down moments later.
After her identity was revealed, Pinnix deleted her social media accounts and declined interview requests, choosing not to share her side of the story.
Months later, she debuted a new website that features blog posts about talent acquisition, but it remains unclear what specific function the website serves and whether she wrote these posts.
The website also features photos of Pinnix in various picturesque settings, with her radiating genuine happiness as she smiles in each image.

She also touts herself as a dancer who found in dance “both an emotional outlet and a bridge to connect with others who shared her enthusiasm.”
Highlighting her achievements in the business world, Pinnix wrote: “Her exceptional achievements culminated in her being honored with the prestigious Recruitment Consultant of the Year award at InterQuest Group in 2021.”
She did work at InterQuest Group, where she reportedly called her boss a “Scottish piece of s***” during a work dispute with Jack Lockerbie during a Teams call during the pandemic.
Pinnix then made a TikTok video series about the former boss on her now-deleted account, claiming he “gaslit” her.
A former colleague who worked at Pinnix between 2019 and 2022 exclusively told DailyMail.com that she was an ‘HR nightmare’ who was dreaded by colleagues.
“None of us who worked with her are surprised by this video. There was often aggressive and angry behavior, but this time she was simply caught,” he said.
‘Brianna was not a good drunk, there were always tears and shouts when she drank at work events.
“It got to the point where she was being excluded from social events at work,” said the former colleague, who did not want to be named.
“Stop this now, sit down, or I will never talk to you again,” the woman’s friend threatens

Pinnix writes on its website: ‘After InterQuest, she decided to do in-house recruitment, starting at Capital Rx. Her role went beyond hiring suitable candidates for positions; it was about transforming lives.”
But she forgot to mention that she lost her job at the pharmacy giant after footage of her shouting abuse at a group of tourists on a New Jersey Transit train went viral.
After her identity was revealed by DailyMail.com, Capital Rx said in a statement that the “company has a zero-tolerance policy toward prejudicial or discriminatory behavior.”
‘After investigating the circumstances, we acted immediately and dismissed the employee in question.
“The former employee’s actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we sincerely apologize to those who were injured.”
In addition to sections on the website detailing her passion for dance, pets and travel, Pinnix emphasizes her “commitment to her Italian heritage and traditions.”
She wrote, “The hearty laughs, delicious food at family gatherings and her deep dive into Italy’s rich history strengthen her bond with her beautiful culture.
‘In her kitchen, amid the aromas of authentic dishes passed down from generation to generation, she finds a unique kind of solace, also expressing her dedication to keeping her roots alive.’
The website also includes two sections titled “personal life” and “friends and family,” but Pinnix made no mention of family members, including her husband, accompanying her on the train to New Jersey.

According to social media, Pinnix married her husband in a ceremony in New Jersey in 2020. However, it is unclear if he is still with her after the ‘racist’ train meltdown
Pinnix, wearing jeans and a light green strappy top, is calmed down by her concerned husband.
“Brie, don’t do this. You could be arrested,” he pleads as he takes her arm and tries to convince his partner that the group of men were “having a private conversation” and not trying to start a conflict.
“I love you, but get off me,” the increasingly upset woman tells her husband as she continues to berate the tourists.
“Stop it now, sit down, or I’ll never talk to you again,” he threatens.
After Pinnix returns to her seat, her husband tells her, “I’m an immigrant too, you know that well.”
According to social media, Pinnix married her husband in a ceremony in New Jersey in 2020. However, it is unclear if he is still with her after the ‘racist’ train meltdown.
Pinnix was seen coming out of her Manhattan apartment in Yorkville, ironically a historically German immigrant neighborhood, with many German beer halls and butcher shops.
One of her social media posts suggests she could be moving soon, as she wrote: “apartment hunting is the WORST.”
