California billionaire Stephen Cloobeckhas a penchant for controversy.
He wascharged Tuesday with several felony countsrelated tohis complicated Penthouse Pet girlfriend, who is facing a criminal trial in May, just weeks after he sheltered the disgraced Eric Swalwell.
The scandals came after he ran for California governor as the “Donald Trump of the Democrats,” before his campaign fizzled in November of last year. He then endorsed Swalwell before his campaign imploded.
But before all of that, he had to make money, and with the riches came controversy.
In 2021, Cloobeck was enveloped in a messy legal drama with his former girlfriend and OnlyFans model Stefanie Gurzanski.
He allegedly spent $1.3 million on lavish gifts and trips for her before learning she was secretly shooting content for OnlyFans.
He called himself “victim of a cunning serial fraudster” and sued her for a myriad of offenses, including fraud and trespassing.
“Little did I know when I turned my back,” hetold Vanity Fair of the content, “she’s doing all these pictures every second of the day in my assets and putting them on the internet. I would have blown a gasket then if I knew that.”
She claimed his behavior was “erratic” and “disturbing” since they broke up.
He also claimed Gurzanski was “hardly works out” and made a crass comment about her sexual performance.
