The alleged victim has not yet been named. 

Jules’ nasty divorce from her estranged husband Michael has been going on for over three years.  

In an update she gave to Bravo in October 2019, Jules revealed: ‘I’m temporarily living in Boca [in Florida] at my parents, which actually happened to be a nice thing because unfortunately my father just recently passed away.

‘So we got to spend the last year with him, which we wouldn’t have spent as much time if we were living in New York. So we’ll be there until things settle, and then hopefully we’ll move back soon.’

In 2017, Jules’ husband Michael was facing jail time for not paying $135,000 in child support, rent and other expenses to the former Real Housewives of New York star. 

Prior to that his lawyer had accused Jules of squandering thousands of dollars – meant to be saved for their children – in a matter of days. 

Both Jules and Michael had been accused of hiding their finances by the judge presiding over alimony payments. 

Michael, a real estate investor, made claims his wife’s extravagant lifestyle had left him strapped for cash. 

The duo are parents to daughter Rio, five, and son Jagger, seven.

In April 2016, Tinsley Mortimer was arrested for trespassing at the Palm Beach, Florida home of her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Alexander ‘Nico’ Fanjul.
