A creative director for several luxury brands experienced an embarrassing moment of “instant karma” after harassing a Trump supporter on a New York City subway, leading to her identity being revealed as Alberta Testanero, a 55-year-old Italian-American citizen.

The incident, which occurred on a 6 train in Midtown Manhattan, showed Testanero confronting a passenger wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, calling him “uneducated” and “racist.” The video of the encounter quickly went viral online.

According to a former colleague who spoke with The Post, Testanero’s political views have become increasingly extreme over time. “She and I stopped being friends a while ago, as she became extremely liberal and very agitated,” the ex-coworker revealed, noting Testanero’s habit of confronting Republicans and accusing others of racism.

Testanero’s professional background includes work as a freelance creative director and branding specialist for prestigious companies including Tiffany & Co., Coach, Bergdorf Goodman, and Kate Spade. Her online presence, including LinkedIn, emphasizes her commitment to “maintaining the highest standards” and understanding corporate strategy.

Her social media activity reveals strong political leanings, with her Facebook account featuring Obama family photos and peculiar friendship bracelet images featuring “Joe” and “Barack.”

The subway confrontation, which occurred around 11:30 p.m., showed Testanero aggressively pointing her finger at the MAGA supporter, declaring “If you f–king voted for Trump, you’re a racist!”

When the man defended himself by stating he was highly educated, Testanero mockingly responded, “Oh, are you? Then why are you wearing that hat? Only uneducated people wear that hat.”

Fellow passengers attempted to intervene, with one remarking, “That’s why he won, because of people like you.” The situation escalated when the man exited at 28th Street station, prompting Testanero to chase him and attempt to grab his hat, resulting in her falling face-first onto the platform.

Social media users criticized her behavior, with one Instagram commenter describing it as “a great example of brainwashing” and suggesting that “a hat should not elicit a deeply emotional response.”

When approached by The Post at her Madison Avenue residence, Testanero declined to comment, instructing her building’s doorman to turn away journalists.
