The belligerent woman who tried to rope off a public beach outside her stunning California home while hurling abuse at a shocked family is being hit with hefty fines.
Viral video showed the woman screaming at a family with small children to 'get outta here! now!' while they back away as she unrolls white string to separate her $6 million property from Laguna Beach.
The California Coastal Commission, a state agency that oversees more than 1,000 miles of coastline, found the 'Karen of the week' violated the California Costal Act.
Under California law, the state owns the beach waterward of the mean high tide line, meaning the public can use all areas between this point and the sea.
According to documents viewed by KCAL-TV, the commission argued the homeowner 'was verbally harassing those beachgoers.'
The woman dubbed 'Karen of the week' for trying to rope off areas of a public beach will face a hefty fine

The Coastal Commission also said using ropes to block off the sand is 'not legal, and she must remove them.'
The woman has two weeks to comply or she could face fines of up to $11,000 per day.
'Park Rangers spoke with the residents, informing them that such behavior is unacceptable regardless of property boundaries and reminding them that any beach related issues should be reported to the city for mediation,' the City of Laguna Beach said.
The video starts with the homeowner shouting 'there goes the fence!' as she bundles out of her home equipped with a spool of white string.
She throws the spool toward the sand, shouting at the tourists to leave.
'I can say whatever I want to, so get f***ing moving,' she screams.

'I'm not joking around. It's not harassment on the beach, it's harassment in my home property.'
'This is not an Instagram moment-place,' she adds while sectioning off her part of the beach.
'You're in my property, get moving now. Now you're in my property line. Move it.'
'Ma'am, we're f***ing walking,' one woman can be heard retorting, as the homeowner replies: 'Pretty f***ing slow'
The rhetoric escalates as the tourist hits back, saying: 'Jesus Christ... shut the f*** up!' before branding her 'Karen of the week.'
