Slapping socialite’s lament

I didn’t say, ‘Hurry up, Jew,’ I said, ‘Let me through!’

JACQUELINE Kent Cooke — the socialite daughter of former Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke who was arrested after allegedly making an anti-Semitic slur at a Manhattan restaurant resulting in a sidewalk scuffle — insists she was misheard and is the victim.

Cooke, 29, was arrested and charged with assault after a tussle with attorney Matthew

Haberkorn, whom she bashed on the head with a mirrored purse on New Year’s Eve. The incident kicked off at fancy Caravaggio, after Cooke allegedly made an offensive comment to Haberkorn’s mother, “Hurry up, you Jew.” But Cooke strongly denies uttering that comment and tells Page Six in an exclusive interview that she said, “Excuse me I have to get through.” She says, “She clearly didn’t hear what I said, and immediately screamed at the top of her lungs, ‘She called me a Jew!’ ”

Cooke says, “I was mortified and I tried to calm things down by explaining, ‘I didn’t call anyone a Jew, I was just asking to get through’ . . . I had no idea they were even Jewish.” She adds, “My grandmother is Jewish so I am 25 percent Jewish. I never said that word.”

She said she clocked Haberkorn with her bag because “I was defending my boyfriend, I was frightened, I was scared . . . I never intended to hurt” him. And alleges that, “The guy Haberkorn — who is a professional personal injury lawyer — did a number on me then he looked me up, found out who my dad is, and saw dollar signs when he learned my name. He assumed I was a billionaire, which I’m not. I live on a budget like anyone else. I get a monthly allowance. I am not shopping on Madison Avenue. I take the subway, and I am very frugal. I am not Paris Hilton.”

Haberkorn’s attorney Andrew Miltenberg told us, “[Cooke] has come up with yet another version of events, as she scrambles to avoid responsibility for her offensive behavior. It was [Haberkorn’s] wife, not his mother, who clearly heard [Cooke] use the word ‘Jew,’ and we are advised that a number of restaurant patrons reported witnessing [Cooke’s] behavior.” He added “the suggestion that Mr. Haberkorn is just after her money is merely Ms. Kent-Cooke looking to place blame instead of taking responsibility . . . In fact, until it was confirmed by the NYPD, Mr. Haberkorn had no idea as to her identity,” and, “Instead of more half-truths and fabrications, Ms. Kent-Cooke, how about an apology?”
