A HOMEOWNER has revealed how her Karen neighbour cut down her privacy fence with a chainsaw – but the situation has divided opinion online.
Tiffany Mraj, from Toronto, Canada, took to TikTok to explain how she was left feeling furious after her fence was torn down without permission.

Her neighbour, who is apparently known for “causing chaos”, allegedly instructed her husband to rip down the fence using a mechanical chainsaw.
Tiffany captioned the post: “Our neighbour has taken our fence down without any papers; she has threatened our contractors and has caused chaos in the neighbourhood”.
“This needs to STOP,” she furiously added while filming the bizarre incident at her parent’s house.
In the clip, the “Karen” neighbour can be heard screaming over the loud whirring of the machine.
The pair are shown battering the fence while chucking planks of wood over into the next-door property.
The homeowner can be heard calmly asking if they have papers that state they have permission to chop down their fence or a lawyer.
The rowdy neighbour shouts back: “Call your lawyer, call your lawyer.”
He keeps cool – despite the interaction – and asks his neighbour: “Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to yell?”
In a shocking retaliation, the neighbour yells again with her hands on her hips.
Tiffany posted an updated video which saw her sister having a dreadful encounter with the neighbour while at her parent’s house.
She captioned the video: “This is my sister at my parent’s house. Cops aren’t doing anything about this.”
Having enough of the neighbour’s bizarre actions, she shouts: “I am not going to ask you again, stop cutting the fence,” as they use the same chainsaw to destroy the wood.
The neighbour can be heard in the background yelling: “Get out of my property,” while her husband points the switched-on chainsaw at the girl.
The husband then tells the girl to call the police – while still directing the machine at Tiffany’s sister’s face.
“I did call the police,” she answers back.
The girl continues to yell against their destructive actions, which causes Karen to step in and physically push her away.
Stunned, the girl screams: “I’m a minor you can’t touch me, I’m going to call the police.”
The shocking footage has racked up a mega 3.5million views in total – but TikTok users have been left divided in their opinions.
One user wrote: “Fences are usually shared property. As a good neighbour, they should have communicated what repairs were going to be done.”
Another said: “Sue them for damages and have them rebuild the fence.”
“Let them destroy everything and take them to court. They will need to pay for a whole new one and they are not cheap,” a third added.
But others were trying to figure out who actually owns the fence, with one person adding: “The way the fence is facing, it would seem it is their fence.”
This comes after furious residents hit out at their neighbour’s £800 fence which they claimed spoiled the area and put drivers at risk.
One resident said they had already witnessed a number of near misses when cars were negotiating the blind bend.
Others say it creates a danger for children playing in the street and is an “eyesore”.
And one woman got the last laugh after claiming her neighbours harassed her into building a new garden fence.
She claimed that the people next door had hurled racial abuse at her and slammed them as “evil”.
