‘Karen’ has become a popular term to refer to someone who is being snobby or self-important.
It originated from a meme featuring a middle-aged woman with an asymmetrical bob haircut who was demanding to speak to a store manager.
‘Soma is changing her name to Karen and coming back next year,’ said one viewer.
One fan shared a GIF of Emma Roberts and captioned it: ‘Soma would like to speak to the manager pls.’

On Tuesday’s show, Soma blasted the judges after her mentor, Guy Sebastian, failed to pick her in the playoff round.
She had performed the Brandy & Monica track The Boy Is Mine, complete with a rap segment and was told by Guy: ‘I feel like I’ve unlocked something that you need to work on, but you need time to work on it.
‘But I just don’t think this particular time in your life on this particular show is right for you right now.’

Looking shocked and angry, Soma snapped back: ‘Okay, well, the thing about that is that I didn’t really want to come on the show in the first place!
‘I was convinced to come here, to be here, to stand here and do this in front of you. And, like, it is disheartening.’
She continued her rant, lashing out at the judges and suggesting that their advice for her was not genuine.
‘Your advice that you guys all give, it’s like, is that genuine? I would just like to know, you know, what you really think. Do I actually have what it takes to be a musician?’ she asked.
Kelly Rowland stepped in to try and calm her down while Guy looked absolutely aghast.
Angry: ‘OK, well, the thing about that is that I didn’t really want to come on the show in the first place!’ Soma said
‘Take a deep breath in, no one’s going to waste their time and just tell you something because it sounds good,’ Kelly said.
But Soma could not be stopped, and went on: ‘I think the disheartening thing about it is that you don’t have enough time to get to know me. You don’t know why I am in my shell.’
Guy responded carefully, telling her: ‘We can only dive in to our artists as much as they let us dive in.
‘If you don’t tell me what stops you from being the artist you need to be, what can I do?’

He added to Soma, who has said she suffered ‘traumatic experiences’ in her past, that she had to be open in order to overcome them.
Guy told her: ‘I think you’ve got something very special but you have to trust and you have to deal with the things that are holding you back.’
The final insult came when Guy failed to pick Soma as his wildcard, choosing Matt Gresham instead and eliminating Soma from The Voice altogether.
