Rudy Giuliani's Head Mocked in New Video

Rudy Giuliani has been roasted online after a video he uploaded made it look like his head was on fire, with some comparing him to the devil.

The former mayor of New York City has a video series called America's Mayor Live where he discusses recent news stories.

In Season 2, episode 84, he defended news outlets for speculating that Wednesday's deadly vehicle explosion at a checkpoint on the Rainbow Bridge was a terror attack. Authorities determined that the car crash that killed the two occupants was due to a mechanical failure but this was after Fox News had already spent time theorizing whether the explosion was related to the war in Gaza or illegal immigration.

"The bridge explosion was quite something, wasn't it? No criticism at all to anyone overplaying it, if you didn't overplay it I'd be very worried because, given those facts, you better get ready for a major attack," he said.

While Giuliani covered a variety of topics in the video, the main thing people took away from it was the flames that seemed to be sprouting out of his head. During the episode, there was a fake fire crackling on the television in the background, which some people said made him look like he had devil horns.

Newsweek contacted Giuliani for comment via social media on Monday.

Political commentator Ron Filipkowski posted footage of the video on X and wrote: "Rudy was back last night with more flames shooting out his head."

People were quick to share their thoughts, with many posting pictures of things that reminded them of Giuliani.

"Fireplace background—weird. Attire—weird. The whole thing—weird," one person said.

"I would say the devil himself but the devil isn't that bad," said another.

"As Rudy Giuliani says Fox News did the right thing by lying there's fire coming from his head. Only Republicans seem to think lying is good but only when they lie. The Devil is present! What a fitting scene!" a third wrote.

A fourth added: "You can't unsee it."

Others joked that they didn't want the fire to result in anything dribbling down his forehead. This is in reference to the fact that hair dye dripped down the side of Giuliani's face during a press conference in 2021 at the Republican National Committee headquarters.

"At least it's not melting whatever he puts on his hair. Anyway, he might as well get used to the flames now..." one person wrote.

"As long as he didn't have the hair dye dripping down his face again," said another.

The mockery comes as Giuliani is facing a variety of legal issues. He is currently being sued by accountancy firm BST & Co. CPAs, which claims the former New York mayor failed to pay them the agreed $10,000 for work they undertook valuing his assets during his 2018 divorce from ex-wife Judith Nathan.

The company filed a lawsuit on November 20 in New York requesting both the pre-agreed $10,000 retainer plus interest and $15,000 in legal costs. It said repeated requests for payment had been ignored placing Giuliani in breach of his agreement with the firm.

The BST & Co. CPAs case is just the latest legal battle facing Giuliani who is already being sued by longtime lawyer Robert Costello who claims he is owed nearly $1.4 million.

He is also being sued by Noelle Dunphy, an ex-employee who alleges the prominent Republican sexually abused her and owes her $2 million in back wages. In May, Giuliani's spokesperson strongly denied Dunphy's claims against him and said he "will pursue all available remedies and counterclaims."
