A courtroom sketch artist said Rudy Giuliani complained to her that a drawing she did of him made him look like a dog.
The former Trump lawyer’s reputation is going to the dogs after he was held in contempt Monday for failing to turn over assets to election workers he falsely accused of ballot manipulation. He was ordered to pay them $148 million in the defamation case. A judge this week ruled Giuliani had repeatedly violated a court mandate to fork over personal assets to the two Georgia women who were poll workers during the 2020 election.
However, the former New York City mayor apparently had smaller matters on his mind during Friday’s hearing.
During a break, Giuliani asked the artist, Jane Rosenberg, if she would make him look “nice” after a previous portrait that Giuliani found unflattering, Reuters reported.
“You made me look like my dog,” Giuliani said, according to Rosenberg, who was covering the hearing for Reuters.
Rosenberg also sketched a previous court appearance by Giuliani and said in November he was “losing it.”
But now that he’s back in court, he’s apparently taken on a new role: art critic.
