Drunk Woman in Restaurant Fight Arrested, Fired
… After Falling on Her Face
Published
If falling flat on her face wasn’t enough to teach her a lesson … the irate woman who was tripped by a San Francisco restaurant staff member over the weekend after she caused a scene was arrested shortly after the incident.
We told you about the wild altercation — the woman, named Shireen Afkari — made a mess of herself at a popular food spot as she strenuously argued with employees and got physical with patrons filming her. Now, the San Francisco Police Department has confirmed to TMZ she was taken into custody Saturday night.

While she appeared to make a painful escape in the viral video, Afkari was located by officers and detained for public intoxication … and subsequently transported to the county jail after officers responded to the business on Hayes Street just before 10 PM.
To make matters worse, she was consequently fired from her job at Strava, the fitness app.
The company confirmed the news in an Instagram comment, writing … “We don’t condone violence of any kind and this does not reflect the standards we expect of our team. This past Monday, we made the decision to end the individual’s employment.”
TMZ reached out to Afkari for comment … so far, no word back.
Natalee Holloway’s Killer
Tries to End His Life in His Prison Cell
Published
Joran van der Sloot — the man who confessed to killing Natalee Holloway after her 2005 disappearance — reportedly tried to commit suicide in prison Saturday.
According to Peruvian news outlet La Republica … Joran — who is incarcerated at the maximum security Challapalca Prison — was found hanging from a strip of blanket in his cell while guards were distributing breakfast.
The 38-year-old Dutch national was reportedly taken to the infirmary, where he was nursed back to stable condition.
According to the outlet, officials said the manner in which guards found Joran “suggested a possible suicide attempt.”
Joran is serving a 28-year sentence in Peru for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in 2010. While Joran finally admitted in 2023 to killing Natalee as well, he’s never been charged with her murder … because the crime was committed in Aruba, where the statute of limitations has passed.
In the U.S., Joran was charged with attempting to sell information to Natalee’s family about where her remains are … which basically equated to extortion.
He’s set to do a 20-year bid in the U.S. once he’s done his time in Peru.
