In 2023, Karen is still popular.

Karen ed her daughter Chantel on The Family Chantel, following the explosive impact that the Everett and Jimeno families made during 90 Day Fiancé. Karen and Thomas were first regarded as "nightmare" in-laws who were infamous for accusing their daughter’s partner of:

“harvesting the American dollar.”

They made this claim because Pedro wanted to work in the US, and send money to his family in the Dominican Republic. However, Karen and Thomas have redeemed themselves over the years.

The Family Chantel's Karen Everett's Age

Karen's A 56-Year-Old Capricorn

In the cute throwback shown above, Karen glows and looks quite a bit like her glamorous daughter Chantel. In July 2024, Karen is 56 years old. She will turn 57 on January 31, 2025. That means that The Family Chantel queen is a Capricorn. People born under this sign are businesslike and traditional - however, they're also very funny people. Capricorns can be extremely witty.

Karen is actually hilarious - she's so amusing that she was invited to do her own Facebook Live spin-off, Ask Mama Chantel - episode 2 is shown above. She offers Dear Abby-style advice, and in promos for the show, she has a cocktail in hand. Her musings are spiked with a potent mixture of sass and intelligence. No fool is Karen. In the clip, someone with a nut allergy complains about their in-laws, who don't ensure a nut-free environment in their home. She blasts the in-laws, saying:

Well, Death By In-Laws, it sounds like the nuts in your house are the in-laws.

She's right! "Mama Chantel" knows that any decent person would make sure no nuts were in their residence. Karen is a treasure trove of common sense. That's why she never, ever trusted Chantel's now-ex, Pedro. That's why she puts her children above all else, except perhaps her beloved husband, Thomas. Karen looks after what matters the most. Because she does, she's a reality TV icon. People can relate to her unbridled protectiveness. She is fierce and fearless.

The Family Chantel season 5 was the final installment of the series, mostly due to Pedro and Chantel's messy split. Today, Karen's legend lives on. Yes, she interfered, but her instincts were dead on the money. She knew exactly what was going on inside the head of Pedro, who seemed more interested in building a life for himself in America than meeting Chantel's emotional needs. In light of the fact that he coldly left Chantel, breaking her tender heart, it's clear that she had good reason to doubt him.

The Family Chantel's Karen Everett's Job

Karen's A Reality TV Icon & Published Author

Karen's unofficial job is tigress! She's there to protect her family, and when she does that while the cameras roll, she's electric. See her work her magic in the clip above. Karen and Thomas think Pedro's on steroids, and they turn up the heat while grilling him about his alleged misdeeds. While Pedro's never said he's using steroids, "Mama Chantel" is known for her uncanny insights. So, she definitely planted a seed of doubt.

Reality star was Karen's biggest gig - it made her famous. However, there's more to learn about her career.

She has built a name for herself while appearing in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, which led to the aforementioned Facebook Live show, Ask Mama Chantel. In her Instagram bio, Karen calls herself a,"published author" and, "public speaker." She also uses the hashtag, #business owner. Karen is known for saying:

"BSR" (i.e. “Bullsh*t Repellant”)

and has created shirts featuring that acronym. The Family Chantel alum frequently hypes up her children and s their business endeavors. Karen may have been a cheer coach in the past. If that rumor's true, she probably managed that squad to perfection - no one manages like a Capricorn. According to her Instagram, before the pandemic, Karen did "facilitate" at The Gwinett School of Martial Arts.

Executive ability is what the Capricorn Sun sign's known for. Bossing people around feels so natural to a person with this sign. However, that doesn't make Capricorns heartless. They can be very devoted to their loved ones, just like Karen is. If you want to keep a Capricorn in your life, respect them. Don't make a fool out of them. They hate that.

Two days ago, Karen posted a fun teaser about her career. The photo featured her at a book g event, and she said it was a "hint" of things to come in the future. So, perhaps a juicy tell-all book about The Family Chantel's in the works. That would definitely be worth reading.
