New York socialite dubbed ‘Catwoman’ attacks toyboy lover in Trump Tower apartment ‘clawing at his face and slashing his chest’ with scissors
Joceyln Wildenstein, 76, had to be bundled into a closet by her boyfriend Lloyd Klein, 49, to stop the attack
A NEW York socialite branded "Catwoman" due to her extreme plastic surgery was busted Wednesday for clawing her boyfriend in their posh Manhattan apartment and attacking him with a pair of scissors.
Joceyln Wildenstein, 76, flew into a “violent rage” and scratched the face of designer Lloyd Klein inside her home in Trump World Tower.
She then grabbed a pair of scissors and slashed his chest, drawing blood, according to sources speaking to.
Klein, 49, was forced to stuff Wildenstein inside a closet to prevent another rabid attack, sources said.
Police were called to the scene and hauled the feline-featured socialite away on felony assault charges.
The Swiss-born Wildenstein spent millions of dollars on cosmetic surgeries to please her cat-loving, art-dealing husband, Alec Wildenstein, who died in 2008.
She made headlines in 1999 when the pair divorced, and she won the largest settlement in divorce history.
She got $2.5 billion and an additional $100 million a year for 13 years after splitting from her husband of 21 years.
The couple have two children, Diane and Alec Jr.
In an interview with in 1998, she revealed her outrageous spending habits.
Dubbed the 'Bride of Wildenstein' by some due to her extreme looks, she said she dropped $350,000 on a Chanel dress, and spent $3 million on a mansion for her daughter which was on their Kenyan reserve Ol Jogi as a 17th birthday present.
The pair also had two tigers which were kept in a bulletproof glass cave.
However despite her extreme look supposedly being for her husband, Alec revealed he often had no idea she was altering her looks until he saw her: "She was crazy. I would always find out last.

Their divorce proceedings got so bitter that at one point during the separation his father Daniel had his estranged wife banned from the family properties.
These included a New York town house, their Paris chateau, which was the largest private residence in the city at that point, their Kenyan ranch, which was 66,000-acres, and a private compound in the British Virgin Islands.
Wildenstein had her credit cards cut off and had to scrape by on an allowance of $50,000 a month.
Her lawyers fought the figure in court and ended up with her $100 million a year settlement for 13 years.
