Lawyer Gary Hughes claimed she had driven her car after fleeing a pal's party when someone recognised her from ITVX reality series The Bardsley Bunch and made rude comments.
She was pulled over after driving through a police blockade at an accident site.
Mr Hughes said: 'Some people who were uninvited identified her as somebody who was on TV in a TV series.'
'They decided to take it upon themselves to begin making hurtful jibes towards Ms Bardsley.
'She recognises it was a colossal error of judgment to leave the party impetuously and get in her car.'
He added: 'It's wasn't a flagrant disregard for the law.
'It was borne out of a set of circumstances and her quasi-celebrity status.'
Bardsley had previously admitted drink-driving at South Cheshire magistrates' court.
Yesterday, she got a 29-month road ban and must do 200 hours of unpaid work.
Bardsley made no comment as she left court but tried to hide from waiting photographers by using an umbrella.

My side hustle is so good it pays my mortgage EVERY month – if you shopped on Amazon Prime Day you need to hear about it
Plus, how you can sign up to earn cash CASHING IN My side hustle is so good it pays my mortgage EVERY month – if you shopped on Amazon Prime Day you need to hear about it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has claimed she made £18,000 in 12 months working just ONE hour a week thanks to her Amazon side hustle. Renata Rabuha, from the US, revealed how she uploads 30-60 second videos of the items she has bought from Amazon at home. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Renata Rabuha claimed that she pays her mortgage by the Amazon Influencer Program Credit: TikTok / @renatarabuha Hailing it as the 'easy side hustle no one is talking about', she said it's particularly perfect if you've snapped up numerous items on Prime Day. In a clip on her @renatarabuha account, she wrote: '"PSA: If you're buying all that stuff from Amazon on Prime Day, you should learn how to do review videos and make your money back. 'Doing this pays my mortgage every single month and I never post the reviews to social media." She explained how Amazon pays her for making product review videos - but not the ones you see under the regular reviews. Renata added: 'This is totally different. 'Amazon has a program that literally anybody can join. 'It's not an invite—you can apply for it. Literally anybody can do it, and there is a two-step approval process. 'But once you're in, it is so simple. Literally anybody can do it. 'What you do is take products you already have in your house, make a 30 to 60 second video, and post that video directly to Amazon. 'Those videos get shown on product listings. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy Whenever somebody clicks on your video and watches it, you do get a commission. 'Last year, I made over $24,000 literally reviewing the stuff that I already had at home.' HOW SHE DOES IT Renata makes cash through the Amazon Influencer Program. This allows content creators to earn commissions by posting video reviews, unboxings and how-to clips. These videos appear directly on Amazon product listings, and if someone watches your video and makes a purchase, you earn a cut. Anyone can apply, and no invite is required, and you get paid per qualifying purchase, not just views. It's different from regular Amazon reviews you see, as the influencers get paid for their videos. To qualify, you typically need an active social media account (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook) and a moderate following, but no huge audience required. 3 She claims she made £18,000 in 12 months working just ONE hour a week thanks to her Amazon side hustle Credit: TikTok / @renatarabuha You need to be producing 'quality, authentic content' on your page. The two-step verification process includes checking that you're a real content creator with an active presence and real engagement. If you pass the first step, you'll be asked to submit 3 sample videos reviewing items. Once approved, you'll get access to your own Amazon storefront and be able to post videos that appear on actual product listings. From there, you can start earning commissions on qualifying purchases from viewers who watch your videos. 3 UK influencers can recommend products to your audience, and then earn a commission Credit: Getty IS IT IN THE UK? The Amazon Influencer Program is available in the UK - but it is slightly different. You first need to apply via and create a storefront. Once this is done, you can create content and recommend products to your audience, and then earn a commission. The website states: 'There are multiple ways you can earn. 'You can monetise your social media content by sharing your storefront URL or through affiliate links. 'We may also surface the content you have posted to your storefront to Amazon shoppers, allowing you to gain more followers and earn from new customers.' However, many UK users report that video uploads don't appear on product pages, only in storefronts. To reliably publish shoppable videos and earn commissions, most UK creators join via the US program, using products that are also listed on
