CAT GAL: MEOWCH!
Jocelyn Wildenstein’s ongoing catfight with her boyfriend had a violent second round Sunday — when the plastic-surgery trainwreck’s beau allegedly roughed her up in her posh high-rise, according to authorities.
The 76-year-old “Catwoman” of Manhattan claims that 49-year-old Lloyd Klein shoved her to the ground while picking up his things at 2:30 a.m. from her pad in Trump World Tower at First Avenue and 47th Street, cops said.
Klein was there to clean house after the pair had an earlier fight on Dec. 7, in which Wildenstein allegedly slashed him with scissors and her fingernails.
Sunday’s violence came when Klein allegedly started grabbing items from the home that were not his, including a Swiss ID, an iPhone 6, a cellphone case and a credit card.
At one point, Klein pushed Wildenstein to the ground, causing a minor injury to her hand, as well as neck and back pain, cops said.
She called officers and they arrested Klein and charged him with robbery and misdemeanor assault. He was later arraigned at Manhattan Criminal Court, where an order of protection was granted for Wildenstein.
“My client is the victim in this case,” Klein’s lawyer, Matthew Montana, said during the proceedings. “He was previously attacked by [Wildenstein] with scissors where he sought medical assistance and has scars present on his face.”
Klein’s case was adjourned until Jan. 30 and he was released on his own recognizance.
Wildenstein — who was infamous 20 years ago for spending millions of dollars on cosmetic surgery to make her look cat-like — was freed without bail last week after being charged with felony and misdemeanor assault in connection with the alleged attack on Klein, who reportedly ended the violence only by stuffing his gal pal into a closet.
She caused a stir during her arraignment Dec. 7 by using a cellphone as a mirror in violation of court rules.
Also, after last week’s clawing, a video surfaced showing her hitting Klein with a metal tray. His publicist later described how the couple was kaput for good.
“Mr. Klein is quite clear this evening that a chapter in his life has drawn to a close,” she said in a statement. “He bids Mrs. Wildenstein the best in all of her future endeavours.”
