Rudy Giuliani was pulled into court Wednesday as he tried to defend himself in a virtual hearing in a sexual harassment lawsuit; The mayor’s latest courtroom drama as he faces a federal judge’s order to turn over his apartment and belongings to two Georgia poll workers in a separate case.

Noelle Dunphy, a consultant who reportedly worked for Giuliani from 2019 to 2021, sued the former mayor in 2023, accusing him of a number of crimes, including sexual assault, sexual harassment and wage theft of $1.98 million in unpaid wages.

In a virtual hearing on Wednesday, Giuliani fumed over the allegations leveled against him in 70 page processaccusing Dunphy of being a “professional extortionist.” New York Daily News reported.

Dunphy’s attorney called the former New York City mayor’s response “outrageous,” and Judge Nicholas Moyne seemed to agree.

“Mr. Giuliani, you’re going to hurt yourself doing this, okay? So I’m going to protect you from yourself right now,” Moyne said, according to Daily news. Giuliani continued to yell into the camera after he was muted, the newspaper reported.

“These are personal attacks and this is not the time for that, okay? I’m not going to allow it, I’m sorry,” Moyne told Giuliani. “I tried to treat you with respect and dignity, but you have to follow my rules.”

Giuliani has previously denied that Dunphy ever worked for him, and he reiterated those claims on X on Wednesday — this time, also claiming that “I met with this person briefly.” A spokesman for Giuliani did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast.

Giuliani scored at least one victory in Wednesday’s hearing. A lawyer for the former mayor argued with Moyne about withdrawing some of the “sexualized” and “homophobic” comments about celebrities and other politicians detailed in the lawsuit.

Dunphy’s attorneys argued that the comments were important to show how Giuliani created a “hostile work environment” and his “gender bias toward women,” according to the suit.

Moyne agreed to remove the celebrities’ names from the record, Court News Service reported but allowed the comments to remain.

The strange court hearing comes just one day after a federal judge in Georgia ruled that Giuliani must hand over his possessions against the two poll workers he was found guilty of defamation in the wake of the 2020 presidential election — including his Upper East Side apartment, his New York Yankees memorabilia and a Mercedes-Benz once owned by legendary actress Lauren Bacall.
