Sophia explained that she is often carefree and does not take life too seriously, which can sometimes lead to trouble.
“And, honestly, she is a legend. I 100% look up to her and it is because you can see the authenticity of a person.
The people who are real can see through the shallow people and can see through the people who are just putting on a face and putting on front,
putting on an act instead of letting the raw personality shine through and just be themselves.
“We both got caught on camera on a night out and it took off. My friends will tell you, that is me when I am sober.
That’s just my personality. I can’t take anything seriously.
Some may view that as a fault but I think life is too short to take anything too, too seriously.
“Obviously, this is a serious situation and drinking and driving is not okay.
I survived and I want to be able to give people a testimony of like, ‘don’t be me’.”
Sophia’s arrest video quickly went viral.

Even while being placed in the police car, Sophia continued her flirtation.
She asked the officer, “Are you afraid I’ll grab your d*ck?”
This comment added to the bizarre nature of the situation, and the officer responded, reminding her that everything was being recorded.
