NFL Heiress Arrested After Clocking Lawyer In Head With Glass Purse After Shouting Anti-Semitic Slurs At New Years Eve Party
Jacqueline Kent Cooke, the daughter of former Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke, was arrested Wednesday after a New Year’s Eve outing that allegedly included saying “hurry up, Jew” and then clocking a lawyer in the head with a pricey glass purse, the New York Daily News reported.
Lawyer Matthew Haberkorn, 52, told the News that Cooke became irate when
she waited behind his 77-year-old mother in the coat-check line.
“Hurry up, Jew,” Cooke said, according to Haberkorn, who was also joined
at the restaurant Caravaggio by his wife and four daughters.
As Haberkorn confronted Cooke, the
socialite’s boyfriend taunted his daughters, saying “Happy bat mitzvah,
girls,” Thomas and Haberkorn told the News.
Outside the restaurant, Haberkorn says he was continuing to exchange
words with Cooke when she “smashed” him violently with her glass purse,
causing a gaping head wound.
In a video of the aftermath of the incident recorded by one of
Haberkorn’s daughters and obtained by the News, Haberkorn shouts, “She
just f---ing hit me.”
Cooke shoots back that the lawyer “called me a f---ing bitch, you called
me a c---.”
“You called me a f---ing Jew,” Haberkorn responds on the video.
Cooke’s boyfriend then accuses Haberkorn of “throwing a woman on the
floor,” which he immediately denies in the video.
Cooke was charged with assault Wednesday evening.
According to the Daily Mail, during the alleged assault Cooke used a
Lulu Guinness Chloe Mirrored Perspex Box Clutch, which retails for about
$300.
