A joy-riding Houston housewife was showing off her new $150,000 Porsche when she drunkenly mowed down a man on a date, one of her passengers revealed.
Arllette Reyes told jurors at the manslaughter trial against Kristina Chambers that she met up with Chambers at a bar before getting in the car with her for a terrifying ride that ended with the death of Joe McMullen on April 20, 2023.
Chambers blames her Christian Louboutin heels for the crash, claiming they slipped and caused her to accelerate into McMullen, who was leaving a donut shop on a first date.
At Lola’s Depot, a dive bar, Chambers told Reyes about about how she was an influencer and that her hedge fund manager husband purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera for her for $149,000 just two months earlier, Reyes recounted.
“I was hoping I could get a ride in it,” Reyes told jurors, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Chambers flaunted her wealth to her pals, living in a $1.6 million, modernist McMansion with husband Xuan Si. He filed for divorce after her arrest.
So Reyes, Chambers and a third friend got in the sports car and Chambers floored it for a short ride to her home.
But the alleged drunken driver — who had gone restaurant and bar hopping that night — was going so fast she missed a turn and careened into oncoming traffic, Reyes testified.
“I was praying or wondering why I was there,” the witness said.
Reyes recalled seeing a man and a woman standing on the sidewalk as the car was headed toward them.

I wanted to be seen as a success. Now I am going to prison.
 Could mean anything.
I don’t think that’s gonna buff out
No mention of the fact poor Joe was killed in the title or in the first paragraph?
Oops!
Even base level 911 can be very fast.
My Turbo S is SCARRY fast.
Three people in a 911? That’s not a joy ride, that’s an emergency.
 The worst part is when the shores held her down and poured expensive liquor down her throat.
“She faces between up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.”
That’s it? I got no problem with execution. Definitely don’t want her out endangering society again.

Yeah, I’m thinking it’s the booze and driving 100 mph on lower Westheimer, idiot.
 R.I.P., Joe McMullen.
The fact that I’ve never been able to afford a Posche has, in one way or another, contributed to my longevity.

Are you referring to the car or her face?
It’s gonna be one hell of a hangover...
 If he is trying to insulate himself from financial liability, I doubt that it will work.
NASCAR not amused or approved.
Another high performance car with a low performance driver.......an all too common story......usually it’s the driver that ends up checking out......this woman needs some serious jail time to think about the consequences of what she’s done......to try and blame her stupidly overpriced shoes for taking someone’s life is truly despicable.
