Alan Markovitz, a strip club entrepreneur in Detroit, erected a 12-foot-high sculpture of a hand flipping the bird on his back deck. It happens to face the back windows belonging to his ex-wife, Lea Tuohy.
"How psychotic do you have to be to buy the house directly next to your ex wife and then put a statue up like that?!?! Real classy alan," tweeted his daughter, Lenka Tuohy, on Nov. 11.
Markovitz and Tuohy had been married for two years. The author of Topless Prophet: The True Story of America's Most Successful Gentleman's Club Entrepreneur reportedly lives in his new house with his 17-year-old daughter, Tiffany.
But Markovitz claims he has good reason for erecting the massive epithet: He says the man living next door had an affair with his ex-wife while they were still together.
"I'm so over her," Markovitz told Deadline Detroit. "This is about him. This is about him not being a man."
