35 Year-Old Woman Jilts, Then Sues Her Married, 59-Year Old Ex-Sugar Daddy For Trying To Give Her The Boot Out Of $1.3M Love Hideaway He Bought Her; Will Battle Dumped Beau's Attempted 'Snatch-Back' In Court To Hang Onto Condo, Other Loot He Showered Her With During Once-Sizzling, Now-Fizzled Fling
- A beautiful blond songwriter’s relationship with an older, married multimillionaire ended on a sour note — she’s suing him for trying to kick her out of her apartment.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Ayelet Argaman, an Israeli singer, songwriter and actress, says former beau Robert Rothenberg is a vindictive “scorned lover who has taken the break up badly.”
Argaman, 35, says real estate investor Rothenberg, 59, tried to sweep her off her feet this spring by buying a $1.3 million Upper East Side apartment for her to live in. Now that they’ve broken up, he’s trying to give her the boot — and she says he has no legal right to do so.
Argaman, a buxom beauty who has been photographed with everyone from Bill Clinton to Eliot Spitzer, says she and Rothenberg first met in September 2013, and he wooed her for two months until they started dating. By February, he had bought a one-bedroom unit for her to live in Trump Palace on E. 69th St.
In April, he signed an agreement giving her a 60% share of the holding company that owns the apartment, and the right to buy out his 40% share if their relationship did not last until May 2015. She broke up with him in June because of “irreconcilable differences,” the filing says.
He balked on their deal, threatened to sue her for $5 million and moved to evict her, filings say.
Rothenberg, of Woodmere, L.I., contends he was used.
His planned suit, included as an exhibit in Argaman’s filing, charges he only bought the apartment and signed the deal after she duped him into thinking she’d marry him. It also accuses her and her parents of trying to shake him down.
Argaman says the “engagement” argument isn’t much of a defense, because Rothenberg was already married.
Their lawyers declined to comment.
