'Too tired to help me': Aussie model Imogen Anthony shares disturbing Uber experience after drunk man enters her car in Sydney
The 34-year-old, who had previously been in a relationship with radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands, took to Instagram Stories on Monday night to document the ordeal as it unfolded.
"I jumped out to grab ciggies on the way home as well, and a random jumped into my Uber," she captioned the video, which shows an apparently intoxicated man sitting beside her in the back seat.
In the clip, Anthony tells the man, who is not clearly visible, that he has the wrong vehicle.
"No no no, wrong car," she says.
"Out you get. You've got the wrong car. Out you get. This is not your car."
The man, appearing dazed and unresponsive, slurs back: "Yeah, so?"
Despite repeated attempts to get him to leave, Anthony said the Uber driver failed to assist.
In a follow-up clip, she questioned the driver about why he allowed the man into the vehicle.
"He just opened the door and you let him in?" she asked.
"Yeah," the driver replies.
"Very strange. Did you ask him for his name?"
After a pause, Anthony adds, "Obviously not."
Overlaying the clip, Anthony wrote: "Honestly, Sydney is turning into a joke."
After arriving home safely, she shared a series of messages venting her frustration.
She said she was "beyond the f***wittery of Sydney" and disturbed by the "disrespect between people".
"And this driver knew that this guy wasn't a part of my car," she said.
"He had already picked me up, I'd stopped off somewhere else to get cigarettes, and in that time, this guy has jumped into the back of the car.
"The driver has not asked the guy for the name of the booking, he's just let him sit in the back with all of my personal effects, and then still really wouldn't help me get him out of the car."
Anthony said she had to ask the man "multiple times" to leave.
"He was wasted? Yeah whatever," she said.
"The Uber driver should have picked up on that, and the fact that I still had to be the one to make this guy exit for the driver just to tell me afterwards that he was sorry, he was 'too tired' to help me… I was like, 'Mate, that's not good enough, for real'."
She ended by saying: "You are so lucky that I was in a good headspace last night."

Freedman Racing takes responsibility for race day treatment
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Racing Victoria stewards have adjourned an inquiry into alleged race day treatment of two horses trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman. Stewards heard evidence on Saturday at Caulfield from co-trainer Sam Freedman, veterinarian Dr Tom Brennan and stable employees Alex Maher and Debra Cooke, acting on RV Compliance Assurance Team advice. Earlier, stewards scratched Freedman pair Moonhaven and Kira at 8.40am on Saturday from respective Caulfield races as they 'had been treated with medication on race day'. Freedman Racing has vowed to work 'cooperatively' with stewards, committed to an 'immediate and in-depth review' and apportioned initial blame to 'human error'.

Chilling footage appears to show Ross Judd carrying a stake outside a Bunnings hours before he allegedly killed pregnant woman and her partner in Melbourne
Footage appears to show an alleged double murderer carrying a sharp metal pole just hours before he allegedly killed a pregnant woman and her partner, before putting his decapitated head on a spike. Ross Judd, 34, was arrested after Athena Georgopoulos, 39, who was five months pregnant at the time of her death, and Andrew ''Morph'' Gunn, 50, were found dead inside their unit in Mount Waverley in Melbourne's south-east on Monday night. Judd, a homeless man, has been charged with counts of two counts of murder over what Victoria Police will allege was a targeted attack at the couple's home. Vision has since emerged that appears to show Judd walking outside a Bunnings Warehouse accompanied by two large dogs while carrying a spike and a jerry can about 8pm on Monday. The Bunnings, on Ferntree Gully Rd in Notting Hill, is just over a kilometre from where the bodies of Ms Georgopoulos and Mr Gunn were discovered on Adrienne Crescent in Mount Waverley around two hours later. The Herald Sun has reported that police are investigating the footage believed to be of the alleged killer. A Victoria Police spokesperson told on Friday that police will not be commenting on the footage as the matter is now before the court. The discovery of the dead couple of Monday shocked the Melbourne community where they lived, with neighbour Ben Scott Sandvik saying "no one should have to come across what I saw down there" after he found the pair. Locals reported Mr Gunn's German Shepherd was always by his side and "very protective" of him. Police are investigating whether the alleged murders were triggered by an argument between Mr Gunn and Judd over the sale of dogs. Judd was remanded in custody after facing court on Wednesday, with prosecutors requesting an additional 10 weeks to prepare a brief of evidence due to the ''complex'' nature of the case. Judd entered court with two guards by his side as he stumbled and muttered: 'I beg your pardon, yeah I'm all good'. Footage of Ms Georgopoulos and Mr Gunn's unit after there bodies were found showed the house graffitied with messages including, "U R Gay", "Enough is Enough", "Betrayal", and 'Karma is not a menu".

Justin Bieber says he 'doesn't deserve forgiveness'
Justin Bieber receives "forgiveness and love" that he "truly [doesn't] deserve". The 31-year-old pop star has taken to social media to open up about his faith, revealing that he "wouldn't be able" to get through the day without love from Jesus. Justin - who is married to model Hailey Bieber - wrote on Instagram: "grateful for a new day. "grateful for Jesus "he meets me every morning with forgiveness and love "that I truly don't deserve "so grateful that he gives this love so freely, so graciously "Wouldn't be able to get thru the day without his love. "It meets me at my lowest. (sic)" Justin's post featured a selfie of the pop star wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jacket while looking into the camera. The chart-topping singer also shared a screenshot of the post on his Instagram Stories, alongside Lord Do It For Me by Zacadi Cortez. Justin has been married to Hailey since 2018, but speculation has swirled in recent months about the status of their relationship. Despite this, Justin insisted earlier this year that marrying Hailey is the one of the "smartest" decisions he's ever made. The pop star - who previously dated Selena Gomez - told Vogue magazine: "I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey." Justin also pushed back against the online criticism that Hailey often faces. He said: "She's in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy." Hailey, 28, has previously made concerted efforts to "correct" the online narrative. However, she's found those efforts to be futile and she's now learning from her husband's approach to life. The model - who has enjoyed huge success with her Rhode skincare brand - shared: "I've learned so much from Justin, really. "He's been doing this literally since he was a child and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, 'Baby, trust me, I've been here before many, many times. You're not going to win. There is no winning.'"
