Caroline Giuliani, daughter of former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, was arrested today for shoplifting from an Upper East Side beauty store.

The 20-year-old was allegedly caught stealing about $100 worth of makeup from a Sephora store on 86th Street and Lexington Avenue around 2 pm.

Caroline and her brother, Andrew, are the children from Giuliani's marriage to former television host Donna Hanover. That union ended in a bitter divorce that played out in the New York tabloids.

According to the New York Post, when store managers discovered who the suspect was, "several high-ranking officers were dispatched to the store, an unusual measure for a shoplifting charge."

1. that sounds about right..

[saigon68]

43. Stole 5 items

The bust happened at a store just blocks away from the E. 86th Street home she shares with her mother Donna Hanover, the former television, the city’s former First Lady before her bitter split from the tough-on-crime mayor.

I like the tough on crime part where her scum-bag father used to jail for up to 30 days homeless men for vagrancy

[Lightning Count]

2. Auditioning for Jersey Shore? nt

[Fearless]

15. Zing!

:rofl:

[madmax]

3. Rich kids gone bad... nt

[Blue Owl]

4. Rudy's instilled the Republican values on his spawn

Way to go, Rudy! What a loyal team player.

[LostinVA]

5. I can't find it in me to mock her or what she did

[marmar]

6. Yep. As much as I despise him, I feel bad for her......

nt

[LostinVA]

9. You have to remember her childhood and how messed up it was

And that people who do this usually have some type of issues they need to deal with. She's only 20-years-old.

Her father sucks, but I have never heard anything bad about her, and I know she was an Obama supporter during the GE.

[Dappleganger]

31. OK, why does her politics matter???

As a parent to teenagers I think her rich little ass should be kicked and she doesn't deserve any excuses for taking something that wasn't hers.
She is not a starving child with no food in the house. That is entirely different.

[LostinVA]

34. Because people in both threads are making it matter

By mentioning her stupid Dad and thinking she's a chip off the old block.

She fits alot of the behaviors associated with kleptomania, too.

I can't get too worked up about $100 in shoplifted goods. It something she shouldn't have done, but the amount of vitriol targeted at her is way out of proportion to the offense.

What does her father's money have to do with anything?

[Dappleganger]

38. It shouldn't.

My point is that she should know better and shouldn't be treated any worse or any better than anyone else who got caught stealing makeup in a store.

[mitchum]

7. A result of the trauma of having that man as one's father

[DrDan]

8. a nightmare for a parent - much as I despise rudy, I feel for him in this case

[davidinalameda]

10. stealing from Sephora?

would have hoped she had better taste than that

[daleo]

11. But, 911

911, 911, 911!

[activa8tr]

25. LOL 911 made her do it!! n/t

[msanthrope]

39. It was the stress of the mosque near Ground Zero.....n/t

[DesertRat]

12. She's the one who became a Facebook fan of Obama

during the campaign.
Poor girl, this sounds like a cry for help.

[LibDemAlways]

13. $100.00 worth of makeup at Sephora is one lipstick, one eyeliner, and

maybe one blush. It's a way overpriced store. I do not in any way excuse what she did. I have no tolerance for shoplifting. However, if what she took totaled $100.00 at the Sephora register, it wasn't a big heist and certainly not worth the risk of being caught. Sounds as though this was a cry for attention and/or help.

[Jennicut]

14. Obvious cry for help. She has seemed troubled for a long time. Who wouldn't

be with that asswipe as your father?

[katsy]

16. But why?

What could this woman lack that she needs to steal?

I understand envy. But this woman should want for nothing, right?

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. The need at work is not a need for 'stuff'.

She's rich. She could have paid for the stuff with probably any one of a dozen cards in her purse.

The need might be for attention. Or, a need to be anonymous - remember, she probably didn't plan on getting caught, and shoplifting by a celeb, or a celeb's kid, could be a way of saying to herself "I am invisible - I'm just like everybody else". Just ask Wynona Ryder.

The real need is for therapy.

[Bozvotros]

19. Nothing but attention, attachment, protection probably

Lots of unhappy wealthy folks shoplift. Usually with a pocketful of money and don't find out why until the court orders them into therapy (rather than jail) as they would someone of lesser means.

[SILVER__FOX52]

17. Does that tell a story or what ?

[SpiralHawk]

24. Yuppers. The story of Republicon Family Values

Pharisee City, fer sure. As always.

[SILVER__FOX52]

30. The thing is, is that it is so blatant, now.

The elites don't even try to cover it up, anymore.

[underpants]

20. Bernie Kerik

that is all that needs to be said

[mike_c]

21. republicans would condemn you or I for this in a skinny minute...

...but I suspect the spin on Ms. Giuliani will be that she's suffering from a compulsive illness and needs help, not incarceration.

[hughee99]

29. It's true. People tend to be forgiving of behavior when it's related to someone they like

I remember when Patrick Kennedy crashed his car in DC and the police gave him no sobriety test and a ride home. It seems most DUers just hoped he "got the help he needed".

[Mnemosyne]

45. His drive was Ambien induced, as I recall, not alcohol. n/t

[hughee99]

48. As no test was done on the scene

there's no way to tell. Driving under the influence of prescription medication seems to be more acceptable than driving under the influence of alcohol, though.

[BrklynLiberal]

22. Sad.. but considering the family situation...-the father, that is-

I know the son hates his father..

[Hulk]

23. I think most of us have had an experience at one time or other...

Sad for her. Probably humiliating for Mr. 911. Oh well...that's just life, eh?

[activa8tr]

26. Most of us do NOT shop lift, and certainly NOT at 20 years old!

I have no idea what kind of "most of us" you are referring to.

No one of the five children, (now adults) in my family EVER shop lifted, at 10 at 15 or at 20!

We are not as rich a family as Rudy's family is... (I understand he makes lots of $ from speaking, in the 100's of thousands if not millions, plus book and other fees).

No one needs to shop lift at 20 years of age. That is NOT a "child" that is an adult. Some 20 year old adults have 2 or 3 kids OF THEIR OWN to take care of at that stage in their life.

Shop lifting makeup products at 20, yeah, that person is in a deep deep psychological wasteland, and need rescuing!

And throw in a good measure of punishment with the rescue, too. I'd say `10 days in jail will cure that habit.

[Ter]

46. "No one of the five children, (now adults) in my family EVER shop lifted, at 10 at 15 or at 20!"

And you know that just how? ESP? I have stolen some things when I was young and got away with it. Do you think I told my family?

[itsrobert]

27. Huh?

I don't think most have kids who shoplift $100 of make-up or anything else for that matter. Maybe a candy bar as a teen/child, but not a 20 year old.

[Bitwit1234]

28. And it was the Democrats plus 9/11 that made her do it.

[Dappleganger]

32. I'm glad she was caught.

And hope that she is given the exact same treatment and sentence as any other citizen her age would get. No more and no less.
She's not a starving child, afterall.

[rug]

33. ACD.

[ladywnch]

35. love those rep family values! n/t

[Papagoose]

36. When a Republican breaks the law, it's a "youthful indescretion", not a crime

[activa8tr]

42. George W. Bush's "youthful indiscretions" extended to his 40th birthday

As I recall.

[valerief]

37. Well, she was getting the cosmetics for her dad, after all! nt

[Buenaventura]

40. this is news? no, it's

sorta typical <del>makeup</del> coverup. why, though ... "several high-ranking officers"?

[unkachuck]

41. goddamnit, rudy....

....what the hell are you raising there?....and you being a good god-fearing right-wing neo-con conservative republican wanting all of us to vote for you and your family values for President....

....if you can't raise your daughter right, or run your family right, how in the hell are you going to convince us that you're capable of running the United States of America right?

....rudy, rudy, rudy, I'm really disappointed in you....

[SOS]

44. The preferential treatment of the rich is appalling

Arrested and released a few hours later.
When Sephora found out who she was, they declined to press charges.
Giuliani asks press to "respect their privacy".

Apparently "law and order" applies only to the poor in Giuliani's world of hypocrisy.

I've known people in NYC who spent days in the Tombs for less.

[Stinky The Clown]

47. I am giving this an unrec because it is about a politician's kid and not the politician

Politician's kids deserve comment only when the actual kid inserts themselves into the public eye. If their parents use them for political purposes (like Lady Blah Blah, for example), the kids, in my view, should remain out of bounds. Similarly, when the actual kid inserts him or herself into the mix, then they become fair game. John Kerry's daughters, now Chelsea after campaigning for Mom, the Gore daughters. Gore's son, on the other hand, is in the former category.
