NY fitness influencer charged with driving drunk with her kids hours after posting martini pic
A Long Island mother and wannabe influencer drunkenly crashed her car with her baby and tot in the vehicle, cops said — just hours after posting a pic of herself sipping an espresso martini.
Jesher Rivera-Barreto, 31, who posted multiple photos of herself drinking in the afternoon, allegedly put her 1-year-old son, whose birthday was just last month, and his 4-year-brother in her car and took off just before 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night, her social media accounts and statements from Suffolk County police revealed.
Soon after, she lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a wooded area off of Montauk Highway in Brookhaven, police said.
