‘EX’-RATED SUIT
Vegas mogul: Pinup gal scammed me
A Las Vegas timeshare mogul is waging an all-out legal war against his Instagram-model ex-girlfriend after their five-month relationship went south.
Diamond Resorts founder Stephen Cloobeck, 59, has filed two suits accusing digital-pinup gal Stefanie Gurzanski of scamming him out of more than $1 million in gifts and trips and misusing his palatial home, his private jet and his suite at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as a backdrop for her saucy photos.
But Gurzanski, 26, says Cloobeck — who sold Diamond Resorts for $2.2 billion in 2016 — is an obsessed ex who has made her fear for her life since she broke up with him in December.
Things got so bad that she got a restraining order against her multimillionaire ex in January after he first took her to court, claiming he was seeking to intimidate her and harassing her mother and friends.
“He wanted to control her,” said Gurzanski’s lawyer, Arthur Barens. “You mean calling a girl 15 times, a dozen times a day, sending her intimidating texts . . . that is mental abuse.”
Cloobeck’s lawyer, Robert Allen, called Barens’ statements “complete fabrications.”
Cloobeck’s latest legal salvo is a federal copyright-infringement lawsuit centered on nine risqué images that Gurzanski posted to Twitter and OnlyFans, where subscribers pay to see her posing nude.
Cloobeck claims he’s the “sole and exclusive” owner of the photos showing Gurzanski in skimpy bikinis and a revealing pink dress, which he says she published without his permission.
He even registered copyrights for them on March 3 and 4 — months after they were originally posted, according to his Tuesday Los Angeles federal-court filings.
Cloobeck has also gone after Gurzanski’s racy pics in a separate lawsuit filed in LA Superior Court last week, in which he accused her of duping him into thinking she was a “legitimate” fashion model so she could use his home and other possessions as a setting for her salacious business.
“Her unauthorized use of these assets, and wide distribution of their representations over the Internet, endangers a reputation Cloobeck spent a lifetime building as a successful businessman, philanthropist and donor to politicians, who like Cloobeck would frown on any association with pornography,” reads the March 8 complaint, an amended version of a suit he first filed in January.
Cloobeck alleges Gurzanski was so shameless that she once posed topless in a yarmulke from his son’s bar mitzvah and occasionally got naked while his teenage daughter was in the house, his suit says. Barens said the yarmulke photo was Cloobeck’s idea, a claim Cloobeck’s lawyer denied.
Cloobeck’s state suit accuses Gurzanski of fraud and trespassing and seeks to stop her from profiting off photos that involve his assets.
But Gurzanski’s lawyer claims the multimillionaire knew full well what Gurzanski did for a living.
“This is a sick guy who needs help,” Barens told The Post of Cloobeck, who met Gurzanski after his 22-year marriage ended. “I think this is probably the first pretty girl he ever went out with and he can’t get over it.”
