UPDATE: Clare is a fake. From what I can understand, she’s not like the girl-with-the-jacket fake (ie: employed by a marketing company) but just made up her story when she saw a camera. Which is still kinda hilarious in its own way. Me? I still like Clare.

I’m late to this story but in case you are too, you need to know about Clare. On Saturday night, Clare witnessed a shooting in Kings Cross and gave an unintentionally hilarious and politically incorrect eye-witness account to a TV crew.

When the clip aired on 9 news, it quickly went viral and Clare became an instant celebrity. Now she has AN AGENT and I’m not even kidding. Clip after the jump….According to reports:

The resulting public attention has apparently been so overwhelming for Ms Werbeloff, who is from Sydney’s northern beaches, that’s she’s been forced to turn to a PR agency to manage her.

“She’s been inundated with calls this morning,” spokesman Adam Abrams told ninemsn this afternoon. “We will be releasing a statement tomorrow.”

A STATEMENT? ABOUT WHAT???? Sorry, back to the report.

Around 3am on Sunday morning, a man in his 20s was shot twice in the leg outside a strip club on Darlinghurst Road at Kings Cross. Overnight TV camera crews sought out witnesses and it was Clare’s frank description of two men who began the argument that pushed the story into the stratosphere.

“There were these two wogs fighting,” she told Nine News. “The fatter wog said to the skinnier wog, ‘Oi bro, you slept with my cousin’.

“And the other one said ‘Nah man, I didn’t for s***, eh’ and the other one goes, ‘I will call on my fully sick boys, eh’. “And then [he] pulled out a gun and went [gun-cocking sound] BOOM. “

Her video interview attracted more than 100,000 views, a Facebook fan group with over 1800 members has appeared and even t-shirts featuring Clare quotes are available online. The group, “Clare the Kings Cross bogan fan club” , has spawned internet memes such as ironic motivational posters featuring the young woman and two other people interviewed on the night.
