“I was approaching the people that had been exiting the hotel, because in my mind, anybody exiting is probably ... the one that is trying to steal my phone,” Ponsetto said. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2021-01-08/gayle-king-soho-karen-interview-miya-ponsetto
“How would you feel,” Ponsetto said, “if you were alone in New York ... and you lose the one thing that gets stolen from you that has all the access to the only way that you’re able to get back home?”
