Libbie Mugrabi hits Miami in ‘free Libbie’ gear after arrest


She’s gone from the Hamptons clink to the Miami heat.

After being arrested in the Hamptons — and denying allegations she attacked a housekeeper — New York socialite Libbie Mugrabi has hit Art Basel Miami Beach.

Sources told us exclusively that Mugrabi was spotted perusing pricey art, and was cheekily “dressed in an orange jumpsuit with the words ‘Free Libbie’ on it.”

Said our South Beach spy of Tuesday’s sighting: “She was also rocking a pair of thigh-high orange boots, and to top it off, the ever-stylish Libbie was arriving to parties in a metallic orange BMW convertible with a tall blond mystery driver.”

Her entire entourage was also in tongue-in-cheek Free Libbie T-shirts.

Mugrabi was spotted cheekily wearing gear that said, “Free Libbie.”

While in Miami, Mugrabi — who has a designer hat line — was hosting a pop-up to sell her stylish lids at the W Hotel, and she was also throwing a dinner at Mr. Chow on Tuesday night, where guests all got her caps.

Attendees included Jocelyn Wildenstein and Harry Dubin, spies told Page Six.

Southampton Town Police said in a statement last week that Mugrabi has been charged with menacing, criminal mischief and criminal possession of a weapon after she was accused of breaking an ex-employee’s cellphone over the summer and threatening her with a knife and mop handle.

But Mugrabi told The Post that she is the victim — and that her 10,000-square-foot house was hijacked while she was away by domestic “workers who were not supposed to be living there.”

“They were glampin’ in the Hamptons,” she insisted, proclaiming her innocence in an interview.

Local cops say the alleged fight broke out July 31 after a housekeeper complained about money she was owed, and that the incident ended when Mugrabi “forcefully and unlawfully” evicted the employee.

Mugrabi’s lawyer, Marianne Bertuna, of Aidala Bertuna & Kamins, has previously said in a statement: “Libbie Mugrabi is a pillar of our community and a law-abiding citizen. The evidence will show that she is innocent of all these charges. We look forward to this matter being swiftly dismissed in its entirety.”

Mugrabi is the ex-wife of top Andy Warhol art collector David Mugrabi.
