Influencer apologizes after screaming racial slurs at parking attendants in Beverly Hills

Yahoo30-01-2025
Influencer Florence Mirsky has apologized after being filmed shouting racial slurs at parking attendants in Beverly Hills, California.
Footage of Mirsky began circulating on Tuesday (January 28) showing her confronting the valet workers and using a slur for immigrants.
She then tells the workers: 'President Donald Trump is doing good things because you guys rape people. You guys rape and kill people.'
Mirsky, who shares a son with Grammy-winning record producer Scott Storch, then hands a $100 bill to one of the parking attendants and asks him to give her her change. She calls them 'poor' while bragging that she is 'rich.' One of the attendants responds saying she is 'poor of soul,' before she holds her phone up at another worker and asks him if he 'wanted to report' her.
The video ends with her receiving her car keys from the valet worker. She then hits the phone that was recording her and told that person to 'get out of my f***ing face.'
She was hit with immense backlash in the comments on the initial Instagram video, with one influencer, Carmen Ortega, claiming she'd had an altercation with Mirsky in the past.
'She needs to be reminded the last time she crossed a Latina, I mopped her floor with her face,' Ortega wrote.
While it's now been deleted, Mirsky later posted a statement on Instagram to apologize for her behavior.
'I love Mexicans, and all people of all colors and religion!!' she wrote in her Instagram Story, reposted on X/Twitter. 'I did what I could today and apologized to the two men that did nothing to me. I am in a calm state of mind and I know I'm the farthest thing to racist. Just a spoiled brat with a dirty mouth. And that's the realist I can be. Sorry everyone.'
She added: 'I take full accountability but meant nothing I said.'
Mirsky also posted multiple videos to her Instagram Story about the situation. In one since-deleted clip, she claimed that the parking attendant 'grabbed her a**,' before she called him the racial slur.
She noted that while she was 'so wrong' for the remark she made, she felt 'so violated' in the moment. She also claimed that she wished she called the police following the incident. 'I am sorry for what I said. I've been around Mexicans, dated Mexicans my whole life. My parents are immigrants,' she continued. 'I am the farthest thing from racist possible.'
In another deleted video on her Story, Mirsky filmed herself returning to the valet to apologize. After claiming the worker accepted her apology, she told him that 'he knew' what the previous attendant 'did to' her.
'Please at least be real,' she told him, as he was talking to a customer who was parking their car. 'I'm the farthest thing from racist possible. I told you, you're a good-looking guy with green eyes… Can you at least admit what the guy did to me?'
On Wednesday (January 29), Mirsky posted another statement to apologize for the viral video, saying she takes 'accountability for the things' said in 'an over-emotional state of mind,' which she understands doesn't excuse 'the racist aggression' toward the parking attendant.
'Racism is never okay and my words were both hurtful and inappropriate,' she wrote on her Instagram Story. 'I apologize to all the hard-working Hispanics in Beverly Hills and also the community that has been hurt by my recent actions. I will work to do better for myself and my community and hope you will forgive me as I meant no harm to anyone.'
She concluded: 'Moments leading up to my outburst were triggered by previous trauma and sexual advances made by the gentleman recording the video. However, I realize my reaction to the situation was not handled appropriately.'
Mirsky has more than 70,500 followers on Instagram, where she shows off her luxury lifestyle.

After Throwing a Bat At a Pitcher, Mariners' Victor Robles Gets His Punishment

Major League Baseball After Throwing a Bat At a Pitcher, Mariners' Victor Robles Gets His Punishment Updated Aug. 19, 2025 7:37 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles received a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his conduct during the third inning of a Sunday game in Las Vegas during a rehab assignment, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday. Robles is currently with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League as he recovers from a shoulder injury. Seattle President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto told reporters before the Mariners game against the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday that the original plan was for the team to recall Robles next week, but now the suspension will change the Mariners' plans. Las Vegas starter Joey Estes' first pitch to Robles in the third inning was inside and Robles whacked at it to avoid getting hit. After taking a few steps behind the plate and dropping his bat, Robles picked up the bat and threw it in Estes' direction and was immediately ejected from the game by home plate umpire Joe McCarthy. Robles, who has been hit by a pitch three times in his previous four games with Tacoma including once previously by Estes, took some steps toward the mound while yelling at the pitcher but was held back by McCarthy and his Tacoma teammates. ADVERTISEMENT Robles issued an apology on his Instagram account following the incident. "I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for my recent reaction on the field," he wrote in an Instagram story. "I let my frustration get the best of me, and I understand how that may have affected not just the game, but the energy and respect we all work so hard to maintain. "Coming off a long rehab and being away from the game for most of the season has been physically and mentally challenging. Adding to that, the recent passing of my mother has been incredibly hard, and I've been doing my best to hold it together. That's not an excuse, but some context I feel you deserve to understand where I'm coming from." The suspension is to be effective on the first day Robles returns to the Mariners' active roster. He is not allowed to play in any game, including additional rehab games in the minors, once the suspension begins. He will be allowed to participate in pre-game workouts with the Mariners. Robles is appealing, so the disciplinary action is on hold until that process is complete. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Racist abuse will 'not bring down' Tottenham's Tel

Tottenham forward Mathys Tel says the online racist abuse he received after the club's recent defeat in the Uefa Super Cup will not "bring him down". The 20-year-old Frenchman was the target of abusive messages on social media after Spurs lost the match 4-3 on penalties after letting a two-goal lead slip in normal time. Tel came on as a substitute in the 79th minute and was one of two Spurs players who failed to convert from the spot in the penalty shootout. Spurs said they were "disgusted" by the abuse and those who sent the messages to Tel, who joined the north London club from Bayern Munich permanently in the summer, were "nothing but cowards". Speaking for the first time since the incident in a post on his Instagram account Tel said he wanted to say "thank you" for all the "messages of support" he had received. "I was also disappointed about Wednesday night but racism has no place in our society. Every day is a learning curve, and every day is a lesson," Tel said. "I know where I come from, where I started and none of this will bring me down. With work and humility, respect reigns." Tel's comments come in the wake of racist abuse suffered by Bournemouth player Antoine Semenyo in their opening match of the Premier League season against Liverpool at Anfield. Last Friday's game with the current champions was briefly halted in the 29th minute after Semenyo flagged it up to the referee. A 47-year-old man from Liverpool, who was arrested by Merseyside Police on Saturday on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence, has been conditionally bailed.

Former Heat security officer pleads guilty to theft of jerseys

A former Miami Heat security officer accused of stealing hundreds of game-worn jerseys pleaded guilty to transporting and transferring stolen goods across state lines in the Southern District of Florida on Tuesday. Marcos Tomas Perez, 62, had previously worked as a police officer for the city of Miami for 25 years before his employment with the Heat from 2016 to 2021 and then as an NBA security employee from 2022 to 2025. According to allegations described by the U.S. Attorney's Office in a statement, Perez stole more than 400 jerseys and other items from a secured equipment room and sold them to online brokers, including more than 100 stolen items over a period of three-plus years for which he garnered $1.9 million, often selling items below market value. Perez allegedly had access to the equipment room because he worked game-day security at the Kaseya Center. The equipment room had memorabilia set aside for a future Heat museum. RELATED STORIES: Ex-Miami Heat security officer charged in theft of more than 400 jerseys Heat probe includes game-used jerseys from LeBron, Shaq, D-Wade Sources: Stolen Miami Heat memorabilia at center of federal probe A court filing related to the plea agreement alleged Perez would tell a co-worker he had to use the bathroom (or offer another excuse) and take the key, open the equipment room and leave the door propped open before returning the key. Later, he would return to steal items from the room. According to the same document, Perez utilized a third-party liaison to broker the deals, splitting the profits. Then he used his corporate entity, South Florida Signature Authenticators Incorporated, to sell the items. Platforms identified in the document as venues for him advertising and negotiating deals include OfferUp, eBay and Instagram. The most notable example cited by the U.S. Attorney's Office was LeBron James' jersey from Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals, which he sold for $100,000. That jersey would go on to fetch $3.7 million in an auction at Sotheby's. A Heat spokesperson declined cllct's request for comment. A Sotheby's spokesperson also declined to comment. Law enforcement executed a search warrant at Perez's home April 3, recovering nearly 300 additional stolen game-worn jerseys and memorabilia, which the Heat confirmed had been stolen from its facility, according to the statement. Will Stern is a reporter and editor for cllct, the premier company for collectible culture.
