[NY Post] The millionaire socialite accused of hurling anti-Semitic slurs at a Manhattan restaurant patron on New Year’s Eve before bashing him in the head with her mirrored designer clutch was in a Manhattan courtroom Thursday ‐ and her lawyer was a public defender.She swings a mean glass purse.
Jacqueline Kent Cooke was represented by a taxpayer-funded lawyer ‐ despite being the daughter of late multimillionaire and Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke ‐ who said in court that she was simply misheard and that the bloodied victim is to blame for her broken finger.
Please don't snap the pic until the blood reaches the collar of my Ravis.
Matthew Haberkorn suddenly started screaming at her in the coat check line inside Caravaggio on the Upper East Side, the lawyer claimed.
"My client never made the slur that she was accused of making," Rebecca Phipps, a lawyer with New York County Defenders, told the court. "This is a simple misunderstanding where a statement was misheard at a busy restaurant. That statement was never made."
Prosecutors allege the 29-year-old spat, "Hurry up, Jew," at Haberkorn’s mother as she waited to retrieve her coat, and then twice bashed Haberkorn in the head with her Lulu Guinness Women Chloe Mirror Perspex Clutch outside the eatery, leaving him bloodied.
Jacqueline Kent Cooke just became attorney Matt Haberkorn's 7 digit 401K.
