A billionaire Beverly Hills mogul has revealed he is still marrying his Penthouse Pet bride-to-be — despite claims she thieved off old men.
Stephen Cloobeck, 64, and Adva Lavie, 28, announced earlier this year they were getting hitched in Jerusalem on June 18 before it was derailed by her arrest and ankle monitor.
She is currently not allowed to leave California as she appears in court, after pleading not guilty to six felony charges for allegedly preying on old men through dating apps.
Yet Cloobeck told the California Post he still wants to marry her, saying: “The marriage is still on, the date is now a secret.”
When and where the wedding will take place has not been revealed, but it appears unlikely she will be able to go to Jerusalem unless a judge removes her anle monitor.
Lavie has been in and out of a Los Angeles courthouse for months and begging to have her electronic monitoring ankle bracelet removed since November.
In a motion presented to the court, Lavie included racy modeling photos and letters from potential employers to illustrate that she couldn’t prance around in a bathing suit with an ankle monitor.
In one of photos the Penthouse Pet is in a bikini strutting down a runway. In another she has on a tiara. Another shows her posing pool side.
One letter in the motion addressed to the court from Morio Parker, the founder of the Ganja Collection calls Lavie “an indispensable asset to our brand” and goes on to say: “Her image is inextricably linked to our corporate identity.”
Parker points to an upcoming ad campaign and asks the judge to “remove the ankle monitoring and mitigate the irreparable damage being done to her career”.
