The Brooklyn wigmaker charged with fatally mowing down a mom and her two daughters has a bizarre history of posting paranoid conspiracy theories on social media — including that Marilyn Monroe was killed for spilling secrets to Fidel Castro.
Alleged wigged-out suspect Miriam Yarimi, 35, also claimed in a March 23 Instagram post that she had found a hidden camera in her bathroom — while posting on TikTok that missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki was sex-trafficked in the Dominican Republic as part of a lucrative conspiracy.
“For months, I said I was being watched,” Yarimi said in the March post. “I said something was off. I said I didn’t feel safe. And I was made to feel crazy for it.
“Tonight, at 11:28 pm, I found a hidden camera inside the vent in my bathroom,” she wrote. “So for anyone who doubted me, or stood by silently while I broke down trying to explain what I felt — I wasn’t wrong. I wasn’t unstable. I wasn’t paranoid.”
But Yarimi’s Brooklyn neighbors told The Post on Monday that the accused death driver seemed to be out of it at times.
They said she would claim to them she was being spied on by the CIA.
Yarimi is in now in Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward undergoing psych evaluations after the crash, which killed Brooklyn mom Natasha Saada and her two daughters, Diana, 7, and Debra, 5, around 1 p.m. Saturday. Saada’s 4-year-old son, Philip Saada, also was critically injured in the horror.
The tragic victims were legally crossing the street in a crosswalk when the driver’s speeding Audi slammed into them, cops have said.
Yarimi — whose car had previously already racked up more than 93 traffic violations — told first-responders at the scene that she was “possessed” and had “the devil in me,” law-enforcement sources have said. She has been charged with a slew of raps, including manslaughter, in the crash.
“At first, I thought, ‘This is great. She’s so nice,’ ” next-door neighbor Angie Strutska said of Yarimi when the single mom moved in to the building about a year and a half ago. “But then I started seeing things weren’t so good. All the time she thinks someone is spying on her.”
Strukska said Yarimi wrongly suspected her upstairs neighbor was a CIA spy.
“If you check her Instagram, you will see what I mean,” the neighbor said of the wigmaker. “She told me about all strange things. Everything she told me, it was all fantasy.”
Another neighbor, who asked not to be identified, said Yarimi once came screaming outside claiming that someone kidnapped her daughter and asked him to drive her to the nearby precinct.
When the man refused, she went off on him, he said.
“She started screaming at me,” he said, “She said, ‘Oh, money is more important than helping people?’ “
Yarimi’s social media history includes a Dec. 1 TikTok video in which she floats the bizarre theory about Monroe.
“Did you know that Marilyn Monroe wasn’t killed because of a love affair? She was killed because she was spilling secrets to [former Cuban strongman] Fidel from the CIA,” she said. “Makes you wonder who else is in the CIA.”
In a more recent post, Yarimi claimed that Konanki, who disappeared while on spring break in the Dominican Republic, was kidnapped and is still alive.
“Listen, that girl that’s missing in the Dominican Republic, she’s still alive. She did not drown. They’re trying to convince you that she drowned,” Yarimi said in the March 20 TikTok video.
“She was sex-trafficked. Let’s be real,” she said. “All the Dominican workers are in on it. You have to understand this is all just a plot to get more money, and she was just a victim. And you guys need to go look for her in the dark web, not under the sea.”
Most of Yarimi’s social-media posts show her as a doting mom to her young daughter, peddling her wigs or boasting about her fashion sense, including with several photos of her in skimpy bikinis.
But some betray her alleged paranoia.
“Are you tired of stalking me? Tired of constantly watching my page from a fake account, talking about me to all of your friends and simply being a f–king weirdo?” she said in a Jan. 2 TikTok video. “Then you need to call a psychiatric ward, because, bitch, you’re obsessed.”
It’s unclear if Yarimi is addressing one of her more than 32,000 followers on the app or someone else. She is believed to be involved in a bitter custody battle with her ex for their daughter, law-enforcement sources and neighbors said.
In several online posts, she boasts about a lawsuit she previously filed against the NYPD, which netted her $2 million in December.
Yarimi claimed in the suit that she was raped by a then-NYPD cop when she was 14, with the abuse continuing until she turned 17 and reported the crime.
She filed the claim in 2023, which was settled by the city — while the accused offer was disciplined and finally booted off the force in 2022 for alleged unrelated offenses, records show.
