George Soros was struck in the face by former mistress
Adriana Ferreyr during a Manhattan court appearance on Friday, the New YorkPost reports.
According to court papers filed by Soros's attorney Martin
Singer, the 83-year-old left-wing billionaire was struck in the head by
Ferreyr, knocking off the earphones he was wearing to aid his hearing of the
proceedings.
As Ferreyr pulled back her arm to take a second jab at Soros,
Singer grabbed her. She then struck the lawyer knocking off his eyeglasses.
The parties were in New York State Supreme Court for a
hearing involving a 2011 law suit filed by Ferreyr against Soros alleging that
he reneged on a promise to give a luxury apartment valued at $1.9 million on
Manhattan's Upper East Side, according to the Post.
Ferreyr, now 30, is a Brazilian-American soap opera actress
living in New York City. She claims Soros inflicted emotional distress on her
when he broke his promise about the apartment. Soros has said his 2005-2010
relationship with Ferreyr was "on-again, off-again and
non-exclusive," according to Dealbreaker.
Before allegedly taking a punch at Soros, Singer related
that she cursed him, Soros's other lawyer William Zabel, and her own attorney
William Beslow.
The apartment in question is now the property of Tamiko
Bolton, a 42-year-old consultant, whom he married in September, according tothe Daily Telegraph.
Ferreyr showed up at the courthouse accompanied by a
cameraman who taped the proceedings. Singer quotes her as saying "I am
filming and calling CNN. Everyone!"
The lawyer asked Justice Debra James to order Ferreyr to
preserve the video taken at the deposition as possible evidence.
