Lorena Gonzalezdoes not let sleeping DUIs lie.
The powerful California labor boss and former Democratic lawmaker jumped back into a scandal that ended her husband Nathan Fletcher’s political career, taking to Instagram on Wednesday to torch the woman who accused him of sexual assault and harassment after learning she is now facing a pending DUI case.
“Shocking. 😳 actually not shocking at all,” wrote Gonzalez, who is president of the California Federation of Labor Unions.
“Apparently Grecia Figueroa was arrested in December. She has an upcoming criminal trial in July.”
Figueroa, a former Metropolitan Transit System employee, sued Fletcher in 2023 for sexual harassment, sexual assault and retaliation — allegations that preceded the once-rising San Diego Democrat’s resignation from the county Board of Supervisors.
Fletcher admitted to what he described as consensual encounters with Figueroa but denied assault and retaliation allegations.
The criminal case involves two misdemeanor DUI charges tied to a Sept. 13, 2025, incident, ABC 10News reported. Court records reviewed by the station show Figueroa was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit of 0.08%.
Figueroa toldABC 10Newsthe case is being dropped, but a spokesperson for the San Diego City Attorney’s Office told the station the case has not been dismissed and remains set for trial in July.
Gonzalez, who famouslytweeted “F— Elon Musk”andripped disgraced ex-congressman Eric Swalwell after allegations of rape and sexual assault, declined to comment when contacted by The Post, saying her Instagram post on the matter covered her thoughts.
