SoulCycle master instructor Stacey Griffith has been spotted at her new Miami assignment after exiting New York in the wake of her COVID-19-vaccination line-jumping scandal.
Griffith has been laying low since the debacle but was spotted Friday afternoon teaching a packed open-air spin class atop a parking garage in South Beach to 60 riders.
Griffith, 52, was able to cut the vaccine line by claiming she was an educator, posting about getting the jab on Instagram. She eventually apologized, saying she “made a terrible error in judgment” after getting heat from Instagram users — as well as Mayor Bill de Blasio.
But a former SoulCycle staffer wasn’t terribly surprised at the debacle, telling Page Six, “It’s completely in line with Stacey’s character. She operates entirely from a narcissistic standpoint. She has a huge God complex.”
SoulCycle, they said, “[loves] to ignore bad behavior from instructors … It’s a culture of bulls–t.”
Griffth’s temporary Southern sojourn was announced this week; she’s slated to be back spinning at Hudson Yards on the 20th.
It’s not the first PR bellyflop SoulCycle has weathered: Top instructors have faced accusations of making racist and homophobic comments on the job, having sex with clients and fat-shaming co-workers.
