Georgia sorority girl who went viral for smiling mugshot arrested again in pathological need for attention

Lily Stewart, University of Georgia sorority girl who went viral for smiling mugshot arrested again on more serious charges in what appears to be a pathological need for attention as social media is left wondering. 

Last week it was cute, but something tells me this week it is a little more ominous and best kept in the file box wth the header, ‘this one is pathological.’

A University of Georgia student who recently gained internet fame for her widely circulated ‘hawt bixch’ mugshot, has been arrested once again. The 20-year-old, whose first arrest was met with a mix of admiration and amusement from social media users, now faces more serious legal trouble.

According to TMZ, Lily Stewart was taken into custody in the early hours of March 23 and charged with obstruction of a law enforcement officer and loitering or prowling. Unlike her previous arrest, which some dismissed as a trivial speeding violation, these new charges suggest a troubling pattern of behavior. Along with a narcissist addiction to attention. Lots of it. At no price is a problem kind.

Stewart was booked at 5:26 a.m. and remained in jail until she posted a four thousand dollar bond later that morning. While details surrounding the arrest are still unclear, the nature of the charges implies that Stewart was interfering with police operations or engaging in suspicious activity.

This incident comes just two weeks after America’s newest heart ache’s initial arrest on March 8, when the sorority sister was pulled over for driving seventy-seven miles per hour in a fifty-five mile per hour zone on her way to a fraternity party. At the time, Stewart’s mugshot, featuring a bright, confident smile and perfectly styled hair, quickly went viral with some calling her a very hawt bixch the happiest arrestee ever.

Following her first arrest, Stewart seemed to embrace the attention. She appeared in interviews discussing the incident lightheartedly, even sharing humorous reactions to her mugshot on TikTok. She claimed that her speeding was a simple mistake, saying she was in a rush to meet her friends at a party.

Social media responds to sorority girl’s second arrest

Stewart’s second arrest on the other hand has led to the Internet wondering out aloud if our collective sunshine might be a little on the damaged or scary side (aka the demented ex girlfriend from hell type…. you know the kind gents). 

The charges of obstruction of a law enforcement officer and loitering or prowling are far more serious than a simple traffic violation. Obstruction suggests that Stewart either resisted or interfered with police in some way, while loitering or prowling typically involves suspicious or unlawful presence in an area.

It remained unclear what awaited Stewart next, with concern for future legal issues and other troubling circumstances and behavior. And then there were these comments on the web too below. See what you think?

‘Apart from somebody who thinks she’s above the law. Who is she?’

‘Obviously intends to get her new street credit and become a tabloid fixture’

‘Clear sign of a psychopath.

‘Absolutely. run, run as fast as you can from this one.’
