A New York City socialite perhaps best known for her unspeakably acrimonious divorce from the world’s leading Andy Warhol collector allegedly threatened to have a professional photographer shot dead over a petty interpersonal spat, then allegedly had the man thrown in jail on bogus criminal charges and destroyed his once-promising career.

In an explosive new lawsuit, shutterbug Jacob Beam says his entire life has gone down the tubes thanks to Libbie Mugrabi—who reportedly once had a physical altercation with ex-husband David Mugrabi over a $500,000 Keith Haring sculpture—and that he now works as a part-time food deliveryman while attempting to get past the “psychological and emotional issues caused by [the] horrific ordeal he has undergone.”

The multi-million-dollar suit was filed Sunday by Beam’s attorney, Kenneth McCallion, in New York State Supreme Court. McCallion declined to comment on the case, or to make Beam available on Monday for an interview.
