Former New York City MayorRudy Giulianiwas filmed shaving his face while seated in an airport restaurant this week, with the video amassing more than one million views in recent days.
The Independentreports that Twitter user Nick Weissfilmed the incident on Sundaywhile in the Delta One lounge at JFK airport, then sharing it to Instagram.
As the video made the rounds, the 76-year-old Giuliani was blasted on social media for what actor Michael Rapaport called “disgusting” behavior in a strongly-worded tweet sharing the video.
“Rudy Giuliani shaving in a restaurant is the least embarrassing thing he has ever done,“wroteiVOTE founder Ellen Kurz on Twitter.
Political commentator Keith Olbermannjokingly wrotethat Giuliani “isn’t shaving in an airport restaurant — he LIVES in an airport restaurant.”
The once beloved mayor has in recent years engaged in a number of eyebrow-raising behaviors and suffered several high-profile gaffes, particularly in his time serving as former PresidentDonald Trump’s personal attorney.
In November 2020, while speaking at a press conference about the Trump campaign’s attempts to overturn their election loss to Joe Biden, footage of Giuliani — who could be seen sweating profusely, to the point that his hair dye or some other coloring substance appeared to begin dripping down the sides of his face — went viral.
Giuliani was also the star of an infamous scene in 2020’sBorat Subsequent Moviefilm, in which Oscar nomineeMaria Bakalova, who plays Borat’s teenage daughter, poses as a journalist interviewing Giuliani.
After their interview, Bakalova invites the politician into a hotel bedroom for a drink, and Giuliani is then seen leaning back onto a bed and appears to put his hand down the front of his pants. Giuliani has called the clip a “complete fabrication” and denied any inappropriate behavior.
Behind the scenes, his behavior allegedly made him few friends, even within the campaign.
