Wannabe influencer charged in LI drunken crash with kids in car had another DWI on her record

A wannabe fitness influencer charged for causing a drunken Long Island wreck with her two young kids in the car had boozed it up and gotten behind the wheel before, prosecutors revealed Monday.

Jesher Rivera-Barreto, 31, showed up in Suffolk County court in a wheelchair to face new drunken driving charges in the reckless Saturday night crash on the Montauk Highway that left her and her children with minor injuries — as the earlier 2020 DWI conviction surfaced.

This time, prosecutors alleged Rivera-Barreto endangered not just herself, but her kids.

“Your honor, we’d also like to note that the vehicle had overturned,” Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Katelynn Flynn told Judge John Zollo. “The three occupants of the vehicle, so the defendant and the two children, had to be removed from the vehicle, so we do ask for that order of protection please.

“Also they are keeping her medicated,” Flynn added.

Police said Rivera-Barreto, who fancies herself a fitness influencer with just over 2,000 Facebook followers online, posted photos of herself sipping on an espresso martini earlier on Saturday.

Around 11:30 p.m., she allegedly got behind the wheel with her 1-year-old son, who celebrated his birthday last month, and his 4-year-old brother — then lost control and smashed into a wooded area in Brookhaven — leaving all three with minor injuries.

Both children were later released from NYU Langone Hospital to their father.

Rivera-Barreto was charged under Leandra’s Law for allegedly driving drunk with children in the car, drunken driving and two counts of child endangerment.

She was cut loose on supervised release after her arraignment Monday — and later burst into tears outside the courtroom when her own mother came over to hug her.

Prosecutors said she was convicted of DWI in 2020 but did not release further details.
