Furious ‘BBL bully’ influencer arrested after allegedly killing rival with car, bystander suffers ‘life-changing’ injuries

An argument over a man boils over into violence.

Chaos erupted on the streets of London early on Sunday morning when a beef between two influencers turned deadly. At around 04:30 am in London’s Soho district, two women turned heads with a loud and violent disagreement.

For a moment, the situation appeared to calm down. Then one of the women climbed into a black Mercedes and hit the gas, running down the woman she’d been fighting with and smashing into a male bystander. The driver then emerges from the car, apparently in an attempt to once again confront the clearly injured woman.

The female victim has been identified as Polish social media star Klaudia Zakrzewska (aka Klaudiagram), who was left “fighting for her life” after being trapped underneath the car while onlookers frantically tried to help. Sadly, according to several news outlets, Zakrzewska has now passed away in the hospital.

The currently unidentified male victim, who was apparently trying to unlock a scooter, has been left with “life-changing injuries”.

“Our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones”

The female driver hasn’t been officially named by authorities, but has been widely identified online as 29-year-old British social media star Rielle, who’s apparently known as a “BBL Bully”. It appears that the two women were friends at one point, though they fell out over a man.

The driver was arrested at the scene and has now been charged with attempted murder (which it seems is likely to be upgraded to murder), grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving, and drink driving. She is now in custody, with London Metropolitan Police detective chief inspector Alison Foxwell appealing for witnesses to come forward:

As our inquiries continue, our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones. While this incident took place in the early hours of the morning, venues in the area were still open, and we believe a number of people will have seen what happened.

There’s widespread criticism online of the bystanders who didn’t intervene to stop this confrontation and instead filmed it on their phones. But, frankly, given the footage, I wouldn’t want to intervene in a drunken and violent confrontation unless I personally knew both women and knew exactly what was going on.

We can only await further developments from the Metropolitan Police. If Zakrzewska really has passed away, our sympathies are with her family and friends, and we can only hope that the wheels of justice turn smoothly and quickly when it comes to dealing with her attacker.
