Aaron Judge's GF brought up her relationship with the Yankees star during a DUI arrest in February ... straight-up asking officers during the stop, "Do you know who my boyfriend is?!"
It's all in new police video obtained by TMZ Sports ... which shows Judge's longtime GF, Samantha Bracksieck, name-dropping the NYY outfielder several times to arresting officers.
And, spoiler alert ... it didn't go so well for her.
Here's the deal ... the 26-year-old was pulled over at around midnight on Feb. 25 in Scottsdale, AZ after cops say they spotted her driving without her headlights on.
During questioning ... video shows she admitted to an officer she drank two glasses of wine at Mastro's Steakhouse before getting behind the wheel.
When cops suspected her of being too drunk to drive ... they put her through field sobriety tests and administered a breathalyzer. And, after they say she bombed the tests and blew a .12 ... they put the cuffs on her.
That's when Samantha became standoffish toward officers ... telling them, "Do you understand what you're doing right now?"
"I just need to get home," she added. "Do you know who my boyfriend is?!"
The officers responded, "We don't."
"This is going to be bad for me," Sam continued. "I'm just saying that right now."
Officers didn't even ask a follow-up and put her in the back of a squad car ... but that's when she pulled the Judge card a few more times to another cop.
"My boyfriend is not in a spot where I should be, like, having this happen," Bracksieck said. "He's like a public figure. So, like, me being arrested for, like, having two glasses of wine is not okay."
Bracksieck continued, "My boyfriend is in the spotlight of New York media in general. And, now here I am handcuffed here in Arizona ... like, that is not good."
The cop clearly didn't care all that much ... and eventually took Bracksieck to the station, where officers say in the police report they tested her breath two more times -- claiming she blew a .169 and .181.
Prosecutors ultimately hit Samantha with five charges over the incident, including extreme DUI -- which is classified as a BAC of .15-.19.
Samantha -- who's due in court for a hearing on the case in June -- is facing jail time and fines if she's convicted.
We've reached out to Bracksieck and the Yankees for comment ... but so far, no word back yet.
Fetty Wap's estranged wife is blowing the lid off what led to their divorce ... alleging the rapper was an alcohol and drug abuser who cheated on and beat her, but Fetty's calling BS.
Leandra Gonzalez filed legal docs claiming Fetty -- government name Willie Maxwell -- beat her face to a pulp less than a month after getting married back on August 3, 2019 in Toronto. She also claims the marriage was severely impacted by his drug and alcohol abuse.
According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Leandra claims they got into an argument that turned physical. She claims Fetty struck her in the face with a closed fist causing her pain, bruising, and a black eye.
Leandra claims the substance abuse was a problem during their short marriage. As for the adultery claims ... Leandra claims Fetty engaged in extra-marital affairs with several women. What's more ... Leandra claims back on New Year's Eve, Fetty traveled to the Bahamas with a woman with whom he'd been having an on-going affair. Leandra also claims about a month before that trip, Fetty got the name of one of his mistresses tattooed on his wrist.
Fetty denies he was ever physically, verbally or emotionally abusive in the marriage. The rapper also denies abusing booze or weed. He also flatly denies ever taking a trip to the Bahamas with another woman or getting a woman's name tattooed on his wrist.
Tyron Woodley says he's not just looking for a win on May 30 -- he wants to make a violent statement to the UFC that he's ready for his title shot.
The former welterweight champ is taking on Gilbert Burns at UFC Fight Night ... and says he's in a very "violent headspace."
"I'm willing to do some sh**ty stuff to people, put them in compromising positions, hurt them -- like literally hurt them."
"I don't know if I've ever been this focused," Woodley said this week on "The Hollywood Beatdown."
Tyron says he considers his fight with Burns to be a "real war" -- one that Gilbert will wish he never asked for in the first place.
"This is going to be a clear case of someone asking for something they didn't really know what they were asking for."
You gotta watch the clip ... Tyron says he can't wait to fight in an empty arena so the fans at home can hear him "talk sh*t" to Burns while he beats his ass.
"People are gonna feel bad for him."
Burns is on a 5-fight win streak -- including a win over Demian Maia back in March.

Emile Hirsch is focusing on a new career as a musician, using his time in isolation to make music, and when it's safe ... he even wants to do it live!!!
The "Into The Wild" star was moving and grooving when he talked to us from his makeshift in-home studio ... playing a rough cut of his upcoming release, "Plugged In," and explaining how he's making music from the confines of his own pad.
Emile put a mini boombox on his shoulder and took us through his process -- how the track went from a voice memo recording to a full-blown song. All done at home ... 'cause that's just how music production works in the age of COVID-19.
It's pretty funny, Emile slipped on a pair of shades and danced through his kitchen ... y'know, where he found that dead rat earlier in quarantine!!!
Emile, who released a debut album last year, thinks he'll be good enough to perform live by the time concerts are a thing again ... but in the meantime, he figures he needs some more lessons.
Hey, he's got plenty of time to hone his new craft.
These stars may be stuck at home, but that doesn't mean they can't have fun in the sun!
Whether they are sunbathing like Adriana Lima, floating their worries away like Britney Spears, spending quality time with their family like Sofia Vergara and JoeManganiello, or just passing time by reading like Kaia Gerber, these quarantined celebs know how to take advantage of their time off.
Grab your towels, lather up your suntan lotion, and dive into this gallery of poolside pics to see the stars who are making a splash just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
Pedicures feel good, but they apparently feel REALLY good to this bulldog ... who couldn't resist climbing on top of his doggy groomer as she tried to trim his nails.
This doggone funny video comes from Shampoochie Pet Grooming in Granbury, Texas ... where the pooch was brought in for some maintenance.
Things were going smoothly at first for the young lady groomer, Kali Lander, but as she made her way to the bulldog's hind legs ... he got WAY too excited and hopped on her back.
After mounting the poor girl, who's hilariously pleading for help, the shop's owner made her way over to help and force the forceful pup down off.
Lander says the rascally bulldog is normally a little bit of a difficult customer, but this time was different ... and the funniest thing ever.
Donald Trump's ploy to stay unmasked for the public just got unmasked, because he put one on at the Ford motor plant.
Trump flew to Michigan, where the plant has been partially converted to manufacture ventilators. The plant's rule -- everyone must wear a mask, and even the State Attorney General warned Trump to cover his face.
In true fashion, when Trump was talking to reporters, he was not wearing a mask, but told them he had worn the one earlier while he was behind the curtain. In true 8th grade fashion, he said he didn't want to give reporters the satisfaction of seeing him with a mask.
But, someone got the pic of the Prez wearing the PPE.
BTW ... here's what's ridiculous. Trump was exposed to at least 2 people in The White House who tested positive for COVID-19. He was worried enough that he might have contracted it to take hydroxychloroquine for 2 full weeks.
Pretty much every doctor -- from Dr. Fauci on down -- has said people who might be positive for the virus are the ones who ABSOLUTELY need to wear a mask to protect others. So, if Trump felt he was at risk, why did he not protect others?
He has said he's been tested daily, including Thursday morning, but the news is now filled with stories of false negatives ... including tests used at The White House.
"Shad was one of those guys that everybody loved."
That's Triple H telling TMZ Sports why the death of former WWE superstar Shad Gaspardis such a huge loss ... explaining, "He was just a great human being."
Of course, Shad began his relationship with WWE in 2002 when he tried out for the "Tough Enough 2" reality show.
He busted his ass and earned a WWE contract in 2005 -- eventually making the big stage in early 2006.
He ultimately parted ways with WWE in 2010 but Triple H says they had a good relationship ... and even chatted just a few months ago.
"Just the greatest guy," Triple H said ... "So nice."
The WWE exec also said the fact he died while trying to save his 10-year-old son "tells you everything you need to know about the guy."
Gaspard was declared missing on May 17 after he was caught in a riptide during a swim with his son in Marina del Rey.
Rescuers were able to pull his son out of the water, but they were unable to save Shad. His body was found on May 20.
Triple H says WWE honored Shad on Wednesday's 'NXT' show -- but he believes there will be another tribute on "Friday Night Smackdown."
An Atlanta man allegedly used the coronavirus pandemic to get outta work ... the feds say he lied about testing positive for COVID-19 and sent in a fake medical excuse letter.
Prosecutors say Santwon Antonio Davis left work back in March when he said his mother was exposed to COVID-19, and then falsely claimed he tested positive for the deadly virus.
His scheme allegedly didn't end there ... the feds say Davis even submitted a falsified letter to his Fortune 500 company, which ended up raising alarms.
Davis' medical excuse letter looked like a fake to the feds -- there were no test results included in the document and it didn't specifically say he had been treated for, or even diagnosed with, COVID-19 -- so they investigated and say they discovered he was making it all up.
Prosecutors say Davis eventually admitted he never contracted the virus ... and the feds say there is no record of him ever receiving treatment for COVID-19 ... he was charged with wire fraud.
The alleged ploy was pretty costly ... the feds say it cost the company at least $100,000 to sanitize the entire workplace and quarantine other employees.
The 'RHOA' star and FOX Sports host joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live" and told us life together in isolation can be draining and also rewarding. Sounds a lot like marriage, and keep in mind, this is their first time really living under one roof ... normally, he's in L.A. while she's in ATL.
Cynthia and Mike agree ... the endless days cooped up together do wear on them, like most couples -- but don't get it twisted. Mike says he's happy Cynthia is his cellmate for quarantine prison, and adds ... the conjugal visits are a major plus!!!
Cynthia says they're still on track to get married in October, and they've got their fingers crossed a second wave of COVID-19 doesn't force them to postpone. As she explains, the wedding date is pretty significant.
There could be more bumps in the road though ... Cynthia tells us why there are still some questions with wedding logistics.
Like Mike says, hopefully they read the fine print.
Mike Tyson says he's seriously considering a rematch withEvander Holyfield -- but only because it would raise MILLIONS for people in need.
"That would be awesome for charity," Tyson said on "TMZ Live" ... "Can you imagine me and him going in the ring together?"
Of course, 53-year-old Tyson has been training like a maniac recently and looks absolutely terrifying -- something he credits to the stem cell treatments he's been receiving.
Now, with 57-year-old Holyfield also training for a comeback -- we asked if there's truth to the rumors they're planning on running it back for a 3rd time.
"Anything is possible," Tyson said ... noting that he's "having fun, looking good, showing off my new bod and stuff."
Tyson says he's committed to living a life of charity and gratitude -- but he knows a fight with The Real Deal could make a serious difference in a lot of people's lives.
"Hey, listen, there are a lot of people out there that need help and something like that could help a lot of people, that's in need for help."
Tyson also revealed he's focusing on meditation -- and feels he's on the path to enlightenment.
In fact, Tyson will be participating in a massive World Meditation Day event Thursday at 11 AM PT ... along with Deepak Chopra and Tony Robinson.
Tyson says the goal of the event -- which will be streamed live on Facebook -- is to get 1 BILLION people from all over the world to unite for synchronized meditation and prayer.
9:59 AM PT -- Drake clearly woke up to some problems, he just addressed the track, saying, "A song that mark ran last night on night owl sound live set shouldn't have been played. It's a song that leaked 3 years ago and got scrapped shortly after. He was just going too deep in the drake/future catalogue. Last thing I'd want to do is wake up having any friends of mine feeling disrespected so I just had to say that to start the day."
Drake's relationship with Kylie Jenner's been fueling the rumor mill for months, and now that he's referred to her as "a side piece" -- on wax, as we used to say -- expect it to heat up.
Here's the deal ... Drake went on Instagram Live Wednesday night to tease some unreleased music from a collab with Future.
On the track, the duo raps about all the hot women they're able to haul in, and Drake spits these lyrics -- "Yeah, I’m a hater to society / Real sh*t, Kylie Jenner that’s a side piece / Yeah, I got 20 motherf***in’ Kylies."
Future follows with similarly themed lyrics, but what's interesting is the 2 have been working on this song together for a couple years now, but in the past ... Future rapped the Kylie part.
It should be noted, the track shouts out Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, as well -- "Yeah, I got 20 damn Kendalls / Young slim baddies and they in vogue / Yeah, I got 20 f***in’ Gigis."
Drake, of course, is no stranger to gossip related to Kylie and the Kardashian/Jenner crew. There were reports of romance with her in November, but we were told they were just hanging out as friends.
That friendship endured despite Drake's beef with Kylie's brother-in-law, Kanye West, over a variety of issues ... including a rumored affair he had with Kim.
No lyrics about that on any new music from Drake, though ... at least not yet.
Well this is not going to paint a pretty picture of Florida ... nevertheless, just enjoy.
For some strange reason, at least 4 men at a Tampa Home Depot got heated in the loading zone right outside the store Wednesday and began brawling ... using paint cans as weapons.
At one point, one of the tools picks up a shovel or large garden tool and swings it at another ... but the majority of the action is between a hefty paint-covered man and a smaller guy.
The beefy boy charges at the little dude while slapping at him, but the smaller man holds his own and eventually chucks a can full of white paint at him ... forcing a retreat.
The big fella's not done, though -- he attacks another guy with some violent swings before things finally cool down ... leaving several men, the parking lot and a pickup truck sloppily covered in paint.
What's wilder ... the men reportedly all know each other and work together, and declined to press charges. It's unclear what led to the messy mayhem or if Home Depot will take any action against the crew.
So, no charges, no social distancing ... and hopefully no refunds on the paint. Florida on!
LeBron James is already back to work with his Lakers teammates ... holding small, private workouts in secure spots in L.A. ... and enforcing strict safety protocols to keep everyone safe from COVID.
Of course, the Lakers facility reopened this past Saturday ... but players aren't able to train together on the court at the same time.
The King has found a way to assemble some of his men to keep the chemistry alive ... securing a closed-off, private court to train with 1-2 teammates at a time, according to Shams Charania.
"All the safety measures have been taken," Shams says. "In these private workouts, everyone has been tested, everyone involved has practiced social distancing."
LeBron James has held safe, private on-court workouts with some Lakers teammates at a secure location, our NBA @ShamsCharania reports. More details: pic.twitter.com/P4TamkL6li
"Everyone involved has taken the necessary steps to make sure that they're following all the guidelines."
Bron's teammate, Danny Green, gave details on what it's like being at the Lakers facility on the "Load Management" podcast ... saying everyone gets swabbed before they enter the door, has phones, keys, wallets and more sanitized upon arrival ... and have to exchange their shoes with flip flops.
As for training ... teammates are put on schedules to make sure they never cross paths ... and only have an allotted amount of time to practice on the court.
The good news? California Governor Gavin Newsom says there could be pro sports back in the state as early as the first week of June.
11:41 AM PT -- Sheck's attorney, Scott Leemon, tells TMZ, "This morning, Judge Moyne, in the Manhattan Criminal Court released Sheck Wes on his own recognizance, with no bail. His case was adjourned to August. During that period, we will conduct our own investigation into the charges."
Sheck Wesis facing 2 felony charges after getting busted in NYC ... where cops say he was toting a gun and drugs around town in his fancy whip.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Sheck was driving a 2019 Lamborghini SUV with 3 friends when he was pulled over early Wednesday morning in Harlem for excessive window tint.
Our sources say the car reeked of marijuana which prompted a search -- and officers found a loaded 9mm Smith & Wesson pistol in a bag, and a small amount of weed.
We're told prosecutors charged Sheck and another passenger with 2 felonies -- criminal possession of a loaded firearm and criminal possession of a weapon ... and Sheck and his co-defendant were arraigned and released without bail. They did not charge him for the pot.
Our sources say the "Mo Bamba" rapper was also cited for not having a driver's license.
Lori Loughlinand her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, have thrown in the towel in their college admissions case ... agreeing to plead guilty, and maybe the reason lies in the sentences.
Lori and Mossimo have each agreed to plead guilty to one conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Mossimo will also plead guilty to honest services wire and mail fraud.
Now the sentences ... Lori has agreed to 2 months in prison and a $150,000 fine and 2 years probation. She also has to perform 250 hours of community service.
Mossimo will serve 5 months in prison with a $250,000 fine and 250 hours of community service.
It's a Titanic-like sea change for the couple ... they had vowed to fight the charges. As for why the change of heart ... they were facing multiple felonies -- the feds kept adding charges the longer they resisted -- and if convicted on all counts could have served more than 40 years each behind bars.
You'll recall ... Lori and her husband are accused ofpaying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters into USC, faking a photo that made it look like the girls were college-caliber rowers.
Now here's something interesting ... given that they've already agreed to a sentence, they could ask the judge for house arrest because of coronavirus issues in prison. Stay tuned.
