Cash-strapped Rudy Giuliani launches coffee brand to try to make a buck amid bankruptcy case

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has launched his own coffee brand to try and rake in some cash amid his bankruptcy case. 

On Sunday, Giuliani, 79, posted a promotional video about his new business venture on X and said: '100 % Arabica coffee beans roasted right here in America. You will taste the difference!' 

In December, the former mayor filed for bankruptcy in New York with staggering debts of $153million owed to creditors including two Georgia election workers he defamed, lawyers, the IRS, and Hunter Biden. 

At the time, Giuliani, who led the effort to challenge the 2020 election result on behalf of former President Donald Trump, filed court documents showing he had less than $10million in assets.

'By supporting Rudy Coffee, you're not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee, you're also supporting our cause- the cause of truth, justice and American democracy,' Giuliani said. 

Rudy Giuliani has launched his very own coffee brand, Rudy Coffee. He posted a promotional video for the brand on his X account 

Rudy Coffee sells three styles of coffee beans- bold, decaf and 'morning coffee,' all priced at $29.99 for a two pound bag

'You all know I stand by the truth, and if I put my name on something, I truly believe in it! Believe me when I say it's the best coffee you'll ever try,' he said 

He was seen promoting his new brand, Rudy Coffee, in front of an apartment backdrop as he expressed how 'incredibly' proud he was. 

'You all know I stand by the truth, and if I put my name on something, I truly believe in it!' 

'Believe me when I say it's the best coffee you'll ever try,' he added. 

Rudy Coffee sells three styles of coffee beans- bold, decaf and 'morning coffee,' all priced at $29.99 for a two pound bag. 

Each bag displays a picture of the American politician along with slogans like  'Fighting for justice,' 'Enjoying life,' and 'America's mayor.' 

Giuliani promised that each type of coffee is 'rich, chocolatey and gentle on your stomach.' 

'It's so good, I even recommend drinking it black,' he said as he branded the decaf style 'the best decaf you'll ever have.' 

Even his long time girlfriend, Maria Ryan, posted a video promoting her lover's new coffee brand on Facebook. 

'Many of you know me as a hospital CEO, a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner, radio host, TV host, fierce patient advocate, I'm looking to really improve my health,' Ryan said as she made herself a cup of coffee. 

Giuliani confirmed that he was in a romantic relationship with Ryan in 2020 after years of speculation and public appearances together. 

'I do know coffee has health benefits, but not in those little plastic things that are already ground- hurts my stomach.' 

'So Rudy Giuliani and I collaborated and we have Rudy.Coffee coming to your home soon,' she said. 

According to the website, the coffee is available to purchase in a pre-sale and will officially ship out in June. 

The first 100 bags purchased on the site will be signed by Giuliani. A portion of each purchase is set to go toward Call2Action, a non-profit organization that helps veterans and first responders.

Filling for bankruptcy was a stunning setback for the man who became known as 'America's Mayor' in the wake of 9/11 and was once a realistic contender for President of the United States. 

In August, Giuliani admitted having 'financial problems' as he battled multiple court cases and said he didn't have enough money to defend himself.

He filed his petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, court documents showed.

In the filing, Giuliani said he had between $100 million and $500 million in liabilities and $1 million to $10 million in assets.

The filing listed Hunter Biden as one of his creditors, without specifying the amount Giuliani owed him.

'Unknown' amounts were recorded as being owed to the president's son, and the election voting machine companies Dominion and Smartmatic.

Hunter Biden, Dominion and Smartmatic have all filed lawsuits against Giuliani which are ongoing.

Recently, Giuliani's conservative talk radio show was canceled after he repeatedly questioned the results of the 2020 presidential election. 

The station's billionaire owner, John Catsimatidis, abruptly ended the run over Giuliani's election claims.

'John had warned him a few times about doing that and finally he just kind of crossed the line,' Catsimatidis producer Matt Wanning told DailyMail.com.

Giuliani blasted the move in a statement to DailyMail.com, indicating that he did not learn of his suspension directly.

'I’m learning from a leak to the New York Times that I'm being fired by John Catsimatidis and WABC because I refused to comply with their overly broad directive stating, word-for-word, that I'm, "prohibited from engaging in conversations relating to the 2020 Presidential Election",' he said. 

'This directive is a clear violation of free speech and I’ll have much more to say about this on my 8:00 pm ET livestream which you can watch on any of my social media platforms, including on X, Facebook or YouTube,' he said. 

A Dominion spokesman said he didn't have anything on the subject.

A letter from Red Apple Media signed by Catsimatidis said: 'This letter serves to remind you that you are prohibited from engaging in conversations relating to the 2020 Presidential Election on your programs broadcast on WABC Radio.'

The letter continued: 'It has come to our attention that you continue to publish allegations of this nature on social media, and are now subject to additional court filings accusing you of this conduct, as reported by Bloomberg Law this week.'

That was a reference to a new legal claim by Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea’ Arshaye 'Shaye' Moss, who won a $148million court legal judgment against Giuliani.

The WABC show provides a financial lifetime for Giuliani, who that judgment after a jury found he defamed two Georgia election workers. Giuliani is appealing.

He was among Trump's most loyal defenders during the last days of the administration, and following his indictment, Giuliani has collected mounting legal bills, fended off multiple probes and lawsuits and has fought to keep his law license.

He was seen in a humiliating mugshot before he jetted off to Atlanta, Georgia and posted a $150,000 bail on surrender in the election fraud case.
