| NOTE: This page covers the film version of Gladys Sharp only as the version from the video game is non-canon and the former is not portrayed in any way sympathetic. |
Gladys Sharp is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Dwayne LaFontant) of DreamWorks' 12th full-length animated feature film Over the Hedge.
She is the former president of the Home Owners Association who has issues with wild animals scattering around her house. In order for her to deal with the issue, she hired professional exterminator Dwayne LaFontant. She is also Tiger's former owner, and the second arch-nemesis of RJ and his gang.
She was voiced by Allison Janney, who also voices Ms. Grunion in Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
What Makes Her a Hate Sink?[]
- She has an obsessive hatred for wild animals.
- While she does care for her pet cat, Tiger, this is just about the only redeeming quality that she has. Additionally, she spoiled her cat into being like herself. Luckily, Tiger decides that he will change his ways after meeting Stella.
- In order to get rid of the wild animals, she hires the Verminator, and agrees to have an illegal device installed on her lawn that kills wild animals.
- It is implied that she thinks that she is above the law.
- While it would be understandable that she would be upset that the wild animals decided to break into her house, she insists the Verminator deal with them as inhumanely as possible. Additionally, this doesn't count as a redeeming quality, since she is likely responsible for the wild animals' lives being at a problematic state due to her ordering other humans to cut down and destroy half of the forest and replacing it with a Hedge, giving them and their home limited food source.
- When the police discover that she had installed the Depleter Turbo on her lawn, she attempts to blame everything on the Verminator, even though she agreed to have it installed on her lawn and had gotten it in writing. She also decides to resist arrest by attacking the police officers.
Trivia[]
- Since the late 2010s, audiences have referred to Gladys as a "Karen", which is rooted from a meme that pertains to any self-righteous and overdemanding woman.
