Lap-dancing NYPD cop Vera Mekuli slammed for playing 'sexist card' in video apology
An NYPD rookie, who went dirty and gave a lap dance to a married lieutenant at a holiday party for her Bronx precinct, has now apologized to the cop’s wife. Vera Mekuli has offered her apology to Melissa McGarry for grinding on top of 44th Precinct Lieutenant Nick McGarry in the Yonkers bar on December 16. She also revealed that she’s been working from home after the incident went viral and has felt “judged”.
The 26-year-old told TMZ, “I feel like just because, mainly — I’m a female, dressed the way I was, being a rookie ‚— things were different. Had it been a man doing it, I feel like it would have been more of a joking matter and it would have stayed in-house versus go public the way it did with me.” She also mentioned that she did not know Nick was married as she said, “I do want to apologize to the lieutenant’s wife. You know, I am sorry, truly I am and I really hope it didn’t cause too much damage in the marriage or in your personal life.”
