RielleUK, whose real name is Gabrielle Carrington, was taken into custody on Sunday, April 19, according to reports. Authorities say she was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, dangerous driving, and drink-driving after video of the incident spread online.
The viral footage allegedly shows Carrington involved in a fight outside Inca nightclub with TikTok creator Kaludia Zakrzewska, also known as Klaudia Glam. Moments later, a vehicle is seen striking multiple people nearby. Reports state three people were hit, including a man in his 50s who was not believed to be connected to the dispute.
Emergency crews responded during the early hours of Sunday morning. Zakrzewska was reportedly seen trapped underneath the vehicle in the disturbing clip. Another woman in her 30s was treated for minor injuries. The man in his 50s was transported to a hospital with “life-changing injuries.” Sadly, several outlets have reported that Zakrzewska died from her injuries. it’s unclear if Carrington’s charges will be upgraded.
Police confirmed Carrington remains in custody while detectives continue reviewing the case.
“As our enquiries continue, our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones. I would urge anyone who witnessed the collision, or any activity prior to it that they feel may be of relevance, to come forward. The information you have—however minor you believe it may be—could be of crucial importance to investigators,” said Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell of Specialist Crime South.
Before building an online following, Carrington previously appeared on “The X Factor” in 2013 as a member of girl group Miss Dynamix. The group advanced to the live finals during that season.
The investigation remains active as authorities gather witness statements and additional evidence.
