A Luigi Mangione fan girl cosplaying as an independent “journalist” vulgarly snapped outside Manhattan criminal court Tuesday as she was confronted about her alleged reporting — while another “reporter” is apparently on OnlyFans and about to hit rehab.

Supporters of Mangione sporting city-issued press passes again showed up in court for a hearing that was shelved until Wednesday, continuing to add to the circus-like atmosphere around the high-stakes case connected to UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder.

“Mangionista” Lena Weissbrot’s potty-mouth was exposed as she ranted about the ills of health insurance to a group of reporters following the court session.

When a Post photographer cut in to ask why her press pass wasn’t visible and if she works for a media outlet, she said, “I’m independent.”

When asked where her work could be seen, she replied, “Suck my c–k dot com.”

Weissbrot is part of a ghoulish crew of Mangione supporters who were granted press passes by the Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office and have shown up to “cover” the murder case.

Mangione was supposed to be in court Tuesday, but the hearing was shelved until Wednesday after prosecutors failed to contact the defendant in time.

“We got the writ signed but we failed to serve it,” said Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann in reference to a court order that needed to be delivered to the alleged assassin’s jail.

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro adjourned the case to Wednesday morning, about three months before Mangione’s state trial is set to get underway on Sept. 8.

Another credentialed “reporter,” Julie Keyser, also showed up for the scrapped hearing and insisted she works for “nobody” and is also “independent” press.

Keyser, who calls herself the Sativa Siren, has voiced support for Mangione on social media and shared his legal defense fund online. She also has a website, where she appears to share her OnlyFans page.  

She live-tweeted during Tuesday’s brief court hearing, but said she couldn’t cover the case the following day.

“Getting my ass into rehab tomorrow so won’t be able to make it,” Keyser posted. “Wish me good luck comrades!”

Mangione’s criminal cases in both state and federal court have brought out droves of unhinged supporters of the alleged assassin, who is accused of gunning down Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk in December 2024.

Some of his supporters have proudly shown off their press passes while spewing ugly rants on the Manhattan courthouse steps, including Abril Rios, who was also in court Tuesday.

She said she had no comment as she walked out of the courthouse.

Another person with a press pass around his neck also refused to divulge where he worked, and then sarcastically said The Post.

Mamdani’s administration said last month when the press pass problem came to light that it was reviewing its procedure for issuing media credentials, but have not made any effort to revoke press badges from Mangione’s backers.

An email to City Hall was not immediately returned.
