Since DaniLeigh has been arrested for alleged DUI hit and run in Miami Beach. The 28-year-old, who is rapper DaBaby's ex and mother to one of his children, was detained after allegedly hitting a person on a scooter while over the drink-drive limit. She posed for this mugshot after being arrested early Tuesday morning. According to reports, a police report claims several witnesses saw the entertainer speeding and swerving between lanes before striking a person riding a motorized scooter, and dragging the moped for about a block. One bystander reportedly flagged down a nearby police officer, who then initiated a stop. Police described Dani as smelling of alcohol and they conducted field sobriety tests, which she failed, and later took a breathalyzer. Dani was booked on three felony charges - driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, and DUI damage to property. The alleged victim was reportedly sent to hospital with a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture. 30 May 2023 Pictured: DaniLeigh.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani took a nasty spill while at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, July 16. A few people walking with former President Donald Trump’s lawyer, 80, were quick to help lift him back up. The clip has been circulating on social media, with a bunch of people clowning on Giuliani and making fun of him for the tumble.

In the video, Giuliani can be seen walking down the aisle between two rows of folding chairs. It’s not clear what (if anything) led to him falling. He seemed to be approaching a chair when out of nowhere he plummeted forward. He looked like he tried to catch himself, before falling into the ground. He seemed to sit on the floor for a second while members of his entourage went to go offer a hand. He was pretty slow getting back up.

Many viewers were quick to make jokes at Giuliani’s expense, with some noting that it served as a pretty good comparison for the public perception of him. “Rudy Giuliani falling on his face is such a metaphor for his reputation,” they wrote. “Of course he tripped, Rudy Giuliani was wearing the Leavened Bread Boosts,” another person tweeted, zooming in on his shoes. “Drunk Rudy Giuliani tries to fight chair, loses,” another viewer said.

The tumble comes just about two weeks after the former NYC mayor was disbarred by the New York State Supreme Court for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. His attorney vowed to appeal the decision.   “(Giuliani) flagrantly misused his prominent position as the personal attorney for former President Trump and his campaign, through which (he) repeatedly and intentionally made false statements, some of which were perjurious, to the federal court, state lawmakers, the public, the (Attorney Grievance Committee), and this Court concerning the 2020 Presidential election, in which he baselessly attacked and undermined the integrity of this country’s electoral process,” the court said in the ruling.
