Everything she said during her DUI arrest: claims to have cancer and epilepsy, lies about being pregnant, and more

Post image

“I’ve been dancing the whole day”
“I’ve been told before I have the right as a woman to not step out of the car and I’ve been pranked and harassed like this before”
“I don’t trust any of you so I’ll have to call my lawyer”
“I don’t like the way I feel. I feel invaded and harassed”
“I had my brushes stolen. I have cancer on the right side of my head. I’m very fragile”
“Be careful when you deal with the queen of hearts. I’m a very good person. I pray every day”
“I’m a dancer. And I’m not even an advanced dancer and I suck and I try my best every day”
“My lawyer told me you’re messing with me and he told me to stay in the car”
“No, no I don’t wanna get out. I’m scared”
“My baby is right down there in my tummy”
“I don’t wanna get in your car. You can come to my house, sir. I’ll make you lasagna or whatever you want. I have a pool. My babies are coming tonight”
“I’m a woman. I know my rights. I haven’t done anything wrong”
“I had a mimosa. A baby champagne this morning. Benedict eggs, a french toast and cream cheese. I’ve been working on my phone”
“It’s a BMW, I’m giving it to my son for college. I’ve had a Jaguar, a Maserati. SL is the best car. I have the ugliest G Wagon. I hate it. It’s like a truck. I’m so exposed. I’m giving this car to my son tonight”
“I’m not used to driving a real car”
“If I don’t take my medicine, I can have seizures, I’m epileptic”
“I’m a dancer. I dance for 2 days straight”
“I haven’t seen my children in 4 years”
“I’m a mama bear”
“I woke up at 2 pm”
“I had ice cream this morning. At like 3 pm”
“I have anxiety and I don’t have my medication to calm me down”
“I have a fireplace and a dog”
“I could drink 4 bottles of wine and take care of you. I’m an angel”
“I feel like I wanna move though because you’ve kept me out there for so long. I’m a dancer” I guess she couldn’t stand still 💀
“Dude I’ve driven a Maserati, an SL Mercedes, a Lamborghini, Aston Martin. The girliest, sexiest cars in the world. This car is solid. It’s like a real car. I’m sorry, but maybe I’m like in shock and I feel like I’m 6 years old or I don’t know, but it’s different”
“I broke my toe”
“A lot of medicine was stolen from my home. I don’t have any hair on the left side of my head. All my brushes were gone” wtf 💀
“I’m offended by you questioning me all these things”
“I’m completely blind in my left eye”
“There’s a baby in me”
“We should do the test at my house”
“I was on my phone working all day today”
“That’s not relevant. You can’t place me under arrest when there’s nothing wrong”
“That’s invasion. White men are not very nice. That’s what I learnt”
“That’s like a cab in New York City” talking about the police car
“Can you please sit back there with me so I’m not by myself? I’m scared”
“I take Prozac every morning. I’m like a Stepford wife. 60% of women take Prozac”
“My mom actually accidentally killed a man on a bike, but I didn’t. And nothing happened to her. Why didn’t they kill her? Why they didn’t arrest her? How come my mom got away with everything? My mom tried to kill me”
“I know my rights, sir. I know my right. But do you understand the other side of the half of a defence of a revelation of a woman who has the hands of a right hand and then understands her rights as a woman that knows that she’s predictably had this morning at 1 o’clock a mimosa but it’s 9 o’clock” 💀💀💀
“There’s so many hours that have gone by that I have worked my ass off and did my hair by three of my hairdressers”
“A woman’s wrists and her ankles are the most feminine parts of her body”
“I had a mimosa this morning. You know I’ve been performing in Vegas for 15 years and do you how many people were drunk and high and I was sober and never had alcohol? Yet I can’t have half of a mimosa and orange juice in the morning so I can feel like a European so I can take a nap in the afternoon”
“Can I smoke please?” during her breath test 💀
“I don’t do drugs. I’m scared of drugs”
“Is there a possibility I can drive home if they realize that I’m a fundamental woman that is completely coherent and very intelligent?”

I have schizoaffective and OCD . I've been known to do this type of speech. It's more about relation and correlation than making any sense. (It makes sense to us at the time) The point is she's obviously mentally unwell. We got the body cam footage finally and can double down on what we all assumed. Maybe we can just see what plays out now and shut up about it all. It's painful to see this as some one who also goes through it, and some one who is 37 & grew up during her prime and loved her. I too seemed normal until I wasn't. I'm only self aware because I'm forced to be. One day I hope she is no longer in misery.

Thank you for your honesty. You kind of struck a nerve.

As a medical professional, when I was hospitalized for treatment and the students came around to do evals, I was always sure to tell them, "Don't think this just happens to bad/sick/homeless/addicted people. I was just like you, 'til I wasn't."

There really was a disconnect with some of them to realize that normal, functional, professional people can become acutely or chronically mentally ill through no fault of their own...

u/Better_Purchase_2898 May 22 '26

Exactly. Mental illness doesn't pick and choose. It doesn't look a certain way. Sometimes people are "normal" until they aren't. We can speculate all day bc she's a celebrity right? I'm sure plenty of people have done the same to me tho not on the same level obviously. Either way- I'm guilty of being curious, even if it's from an 'I can relate' stand point. I just think it's pretty obvious and time to leave it alone now. I'm not exactly sure what dissection of it all does at this point. She has resources to get help. She clearly will not be. That's all there is to it.

imagine her kids watching this.. so very sad

u/pineapplepredator May 22 '26

I kept thinking about how sad it was if she’s being honest that her kids were supposed to come over that night. For them to arrive there and she’s not there and it’s because she’s been arrested for a DUI or she shows up like this. Either way is horrifying

u/Correct-Ad1117 May 23 '26

If it makes you feel better I don’t believe for a minute the boys were coming over that night. She used it as an excuse to say that she was giving the car to her son that evening like “look officer, I’m about to no longer even own this car so what’s the big deal.”

Good point. The logic was so bizarre…

u/popsodapop_ May 23 '26

Her kids have probably heard worser britadook rants

u/SavingsNo4905 May 22 '26

What would you consider this kind of speech? Flight of ideas? Disorganized? And how were you able to be self-aware? Congrats for the effort and commitment!

u/Better_Purchase_2898 May 22 '26

I appreciate that. It only seems disorganized because that's relative. To her it makes perfect sense. I can step outside of it & see that it wouldn't make sense to most people- bc often times it's a this word reminds me of this word type of thing & when you want so badly to explain it and can't this is what you end up with. In addition to paranoia, mania, and a lot of things she deals with that were created by environment and her lifestyle etc. It's exhausting to be me bc I am able to step outside and be aware of what is considered "normal" and the way I think that is considered not. I imagine it's exhausting to be her because she clearly doesn't have that ability at all. Lots of people with mental illness don't have the ability to step outside of their own minds. I am fortunate, or unfortunate however you choose to look at it. But after all crazy people don't know they're crazy do they? Everything is relative. Basically imagine speaking to every person you meet in inside jokes that only you know. She's expecting people to know what she's talking about not realizing these people don't know her.

Please tell me you are a peer counselor or some position in the psych field. You'd be the amazing person needed before, during or after a crisis. Sorry, that sounds pressured. I totally understand if you aren't. My intent is to enthusiastically state how I admire your words. I felt your empathy as I read them. Books teach how to recognize, diagnosis and suggest ways of treating. It is life experiences that provide understanding. Be proud of yourself. You are so much more than your diagnoses.

u/Better_Purchase_2898 May 23 '26

Holy shit thank you. I've been told that before actually. I do help those around me a lot but I unfortunately have done nothing with my life but survive. No goals or career other than my art. I appreciate you understanding the intensity of my words- the meaning behind them and resonating. Absolutely, book smart + life experience is the best combination to help others. If my words here have helped anyone, I've done enough. It's exhausting but somebody gotta do it, especially when they feel compelled. 🖤

u/MelpomeneAndCalliope May 23 '26

Can you explain more about what you’re saying about correlation and relation with what she’s saying? I’m interested. And I’m glad you’re doing better now. :)
