Cuba’s gal was Havana spat

THE Cajun chicken wasn’t the only thing that was a little bit spicy at Le Bilboquet Saturday night.

Claudine De Niro caused a scene at the Hamptons outpost of the fancy restaurant, we’re told, by confronting a woman who she accused of chatting up her boyfriend, Cuba Gooding Jr.

Sources say that the unnamed woman chatted with the Oscar winner around 11 p.m. at the Sag Harbor eatery, and he gave her his phone number before she said her goodbyes.

And we’re told that De Niro — the ex-wife of Robert De Niro’s son Raphael — later stormed over to where she was sitting on a sofa in a hallway and demanded, “Why did you take his number? Don’t you know he’s my boyfriend?”

We’re told that the woman stayed seated next to a pal and barely responded, while De Niro stood over her and continued to berate her for some time.

Sources said that a friend of the woman was sufficiently concerned to ask the restaurant’s management to ask her to leave — which, we’re told, De Niro assured the friend that they would not do. She was correct, and De Niro eventually walked away by herself and headed into the bathroom.

But a source close to De Niro told us she wasn’t being a jealous girlfriend — it was all about business.

The insider said that both De Niro and her foe are real estate agents, and that De Niro was angry that the woman had wanted Gooding’s business — not good lovin’.

“It’s disrespectful, if you know someone is a broker, to go to their [boyfriend] and offer them help with real estate,” they said.

The source also insisted that De Niro wasn’t yelling — though the original source told us she was loud enough to “make a scene.”

Gooding has pleaded not guilty to six counts of misdemeanor forcible touching and six counts of third-degree sexual abuse stemming from three alleged incidents.
