'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."

Jelena Dokic looks slimmer than ever at Wimbledon after the tennis great revealed she 'halved' dress size
Jelena Dokic has stunned fans with a photo of herself looking slimmer than ever before at the iconic Wimbledon tennis tournament. The retired tennis star is currently serving as part of Nine's commentary team for the tournament, the same event where she advanced to the semifinals in 2000 aged 16. Dokic, 42, took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday to post a stunning photo of herself inside the commentator's booth at the famous two-week event. She flashed her signature mega-watt smile at the camera in the snap, with her pinstripe trousers and burgundy blouse accentuating her figure. Dokic looked confident as she posed with one hand on her hip, wearing glamorous makeup and her hair styled in loose waves. "Ready for Wimbledon," she wrote in the caption. "And, like always, so is the whole styling and hair and makeup team. "Wouldn't be able to do anything without them all." Fans of the tennis great flooded the comments praising the star, with many people pointing out how much Dokic's Wimbledon look suited her. "Burgundy really suits you, Jelena," one person said. "Looking amazing. That colour so suits you. But the best beauty here is your confidence shining through," another person said. "Lovely outfit Jelena, enjoy your time commentating at Wimbledon," a third person said. One more fan said Dokic had a "beautiful glow" in her latest photo, while another person said the media figure is a "wonderful role model". The retired tennis great has publicly chronicled her weight loss journey after shedding about 20 kilos through diet and lifestyle changes. However, commentators have expressed doubts about her weight loss amid the rise of injectable GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Dokic recently shared a remarkable comparison of herself before and after her transformation on Instagram, where she addressed more claims she has 'abandoned plus-sized people' after halving her dress size. 'When I was a size 20, someone always complained, and now that I am a size 10, someone is always complaining too,' she wrote in the caption. 'It's now bad that I am healthier and lost some weight, and I have abandoned standing up for plus-size people." Dokic's glowing Wimbledon appearance comes after she shared a telling post hinting that the retired tennis star has found love, just weeks after she was spotted cosying up with a mystery man at Melbourne Airport. "May you attract someone who treats you like they've been waiting their whole life to find you," read a post Dokic shared on Instagram last month. She said she "absolutely" agreed with another post, which spoke about "redefining what love looks like", and it's not "roses or expensive gifts". Dokic looked visibly elated as she touched down at Melbourne Airport in May. It's there she embraced an unknown man who was seen eagerly awaiting her arrival inside the terminal. In footage obtained by Dokic could be seen running her fingers along the side of the man's torso. The pair then walked out into the pickup zone of the airport. Dokic split from her previous partner, Brazilian-born Tin Bukic, in late 2022 after an almost two-decade-long relationship. She recently opened up on the Mental As Anyone podcast about how the demise of her relationship jeopardised her plans to start a family. 'I was in a relationship for almost 19 years from the age of 20, and right when we split up, we were about to start trying for a family,' Jelena said. 'I actually think I would be a good mum, to be honest; I love kids.' Dokic revealed she was now planning to start a family as a 'single parent' and was open to exploring adoption. 'It is something I would like to do because I love kids,' she said. 'I didn't have the best experience (but) if I was, let's say, a single mum and adopted one day, it would have all the love in the world.' The former Wimbledon semi-finalist was born in 1983 in the former communist state Yugoslavia before resettling in Serbia and then arriving in Australia as a refugee in 1994. Dokic in 2009 enjoyed an unforgettable run at the Australian Open after entering as a wildcard and ultimately advancing to the quarter-finals. She retired from the sport in 2014 and turned to commentating tennis, a role for which she is highly sought after. Dokic revealed the harrowing family violence she suffered at the hands of her estranged father and coach Damir Dokic in her memoir Unbreakable. She has claimed her father has never apologised for his alleged verbal, emotional and physical abuse.

Debbie Harry describes cosmetic surgery as necessary for her career
Debbie Harry has described cosmetic surgery as necessary for her career. The Blondie singer, 80, spoke candidly to Vanity Fair about her decision to undergo plastic surgery, saying it helped her feel more confident and better about herself. She revealed: 'As far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself. Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident.' Debbie added the procedures were something she felt she needed at the time. She said: 'I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz. 'If you're going to be in the business, be in it.' Debbie also reflected on the pressure entertainers face regarding their appearance, noting cosmetic surgery now starts at much younger ages. 'It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old,' she said. Debbie added: 'God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.' Her openness follows a recent wave of celebrities discussing their own cosmetic procedures. Khloe Kardashian, 41, recently responded in the comments of a reel by Dr Jonathan Betteridge, detailing her nose job and what she described as 'salmon sperm facials'. Kylie Jenner, 27, has also revealed the specifics of her breast augmentation after a TikTok user asked about her 'most perfect, natural boob job ever'. Jenner wrote online: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!' Meanwhile, Kris Jenner, 69, praised her surgeon Dr Garth Fisher in an Instagram comment, recalling her first facelift in 2011. 'You made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid,' Kris said. Fans have compared Kris' refreshed look to her supermodel daughter Kendall, 29. A representative confirmed Dr Steven Levine of New York is responsible for Kris' youthful appearance. Kristin Cavallari, 38, recently shared details of her breast augmentation on Instagram Stories, saying: 'I was 300 cc before and now I'm 340. 'Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I've just pushed them up a couple of times since getting them done.'
