The San Francisco drunk woman who starred in an infamous viral bar fight video is catching a break in her legal case, TMZ has learned.

San Francisco authorities tell us Shireen Afkari is off the hook after her arrest for misdemeanor public intoxication at Hazie's saloon in December 2025.

As the world witnessed in the viral video, Afkari drunkenly squabbled with staff at the watering hole, ultimately getting tossed out with her boyfriend and tripped by a bartender on the sidewalk before she was arrested by responding officers.

Robert Rueca, an SFPD spokesperson, tells TMZ ... the department does NOT refer public intoxication cases to the district attorney for possible prosecution, adding that no other charges will be filed against Afkari. As for any fines, Rueca said his understanding is that Afkari will face no further penalties.

The San Francisco District Attorney's Office agrees. Randolph Quezada, a rep for the SFDA, said they have "never received a case to review for charging this individual." Quezada also said Afkari was arrested for public intoxication and was released "once sober."

Last week, the bartender who tripped Afkari was reportedly fired from Hazie's because managers told him he was an insurance liability based on his altercation with Afkari.

Afkari was also terminated from her job at the fitness app, Strava, with a company spokesperson announcing, "We don’t condone violence of any kind, and this does not reflect the standards we expect of our team."
