*A night out in Central London turned violent in the early morning hours of Sunday when beauty influencer Gabrielle Carrington, 29, allegedly drove her Mercedes into a rival creator following a street brawl outside the Inca nightclub. The incident, captured on cell phone video, has since gone viral and sparked widespread outrage across social media.
Carrington appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on Tuesday. She faces charges of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, and drink-driving. According to the New York Post, as she entered the courtroom, she made a heart gesture toward friends and family seated in the public gallery.
According to prosecutors, Carrington — who has more than 365,000 Instagram followers under the handle “RIELLEUK” — was nearly twice the legal alcohol limit at the time of the incident. Court footage showed her vehicle veering onto the pavement in the early morning hours, just after 4:30 a.m. Prosecutor Rizwan Amin told the court that Zakrzewska was “trapped and dragged under the vehicle.” Two additional people were struck in the chaos — security guard Anoush Chyche, who suffered “life-changing injuries,” and Latisha Armstrong, who sustained a wrist injury.
Authorities indicated the confrontation grew from a prior history between the individuals involved, with some reports tying the dispute to a conflict over a man. Footage circulating online appears to show a physical confrontation between the women on the street before the car was used as a weapon.

As of Tuesday, conflicting reports surround the condition of Zakrzewska, who has nearly 270,000 Instagram followers under the handle “klaudiaglam.” While SandraRose.com reported that she died on Monday April 20, a New York Post article dated April 22 states she remains in a life-threatening condition according to the Metropolitan Police. Some social media accounts have claimed that Zakrzewska’s family confirmed she is still alive.
Carrington, a former member of girl group “Miss Dynamix” who appeared on British television competition “The X Factor” in 2013, remains in custody and is due to appear next at the Old Bailey courthouse on May 19.
