Theroux neighbor battle rages on

-

JUSTIN Theroux, the actor husband of “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston, is firing back at their Greenwich Village neighbor — who is suing him over noise from renovation­s and what he claims is a loud dog — saying the neighbor is making up false stories about him. Theroux claims, in his latest Manhattan court filing over the dispute, that his neighbor, attorney Norman Resnicow has been peering in on them. Theroux sued Resnicow, who lives downstairs at 71 Washington Place, in May, claiming that the lawyer “has made it his twisted sport to bully and intimidate” him. Resnicow responded in August, saying Theroux abandoned “yowling” rescue dogs in his apartment while he “decamped to California.” Theroux’s hit back by denying mistreatin­g dogs and mentions the “disturbing possibilit­y” that the lawyerneig­hbor is spying on him. He snapped a photo of Resnicow allegedly trespassin­g on his roof deck on Sept. 22. “He literally climbed out of his second-floor window, wearing pajamas, and brazenly trespassed onto Mr. Theroux’s property to confront Mr. Theroux’s workers,” according to Manhattan Supreme Court papers. But Theroux hasn’t had a dog in his apartment since 2011 — four years before Resnicow demanded the Hollywood hunk install $30,000 worth of soundproof­ing, the papers claim. The allegation­s are all part of Resnicow’s “ginned-up claims” that Theroux is a “noisemaker” because he’s unhappy with the star’s renovation. Resnicow told Page Six on Wednesday night, “Justin’s latest diatribe in court must be practice for future meltdown roles. He should be careful not to become typecast as Mr. Meltdown.”
