Arnold Simon was once CEO of Calvin Klein Jeans, and has donated more than $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, so imagine how impressed his date was after they met through the Match.com dating site:
[Simon] took the unidentified woman to the chic Surrey Hotel bar Feb. 4 for their first date …
The date went well, as Simon regaled her with anecdotes about his relationship to the ex-president, she says.
“He told me that he had just gotten back from a lunch with Clinton; he is a close personal friend with Bill Clinton,” she said …
After drinks, they had dinner at The Mark hotel, and then his driver took them to The Carlyle to listen to jazz, she said.
The next day, he sent her a dozen long-stemmed roses. Smitten, she agreed to a second date on Feb. 10.
“He picked me up in an Audi A9,” she said. “He had a driver. He said, ‘I’ll bring my Bentley the next time.’ He takes me to Scalinatella. Everyone knew him there. They put us at a nice table.” …
Back at Simon’s apartment, the two became intimate. But before bedding the fashion mogul, the unnamed woman asked Simon whether or not he had any STDs. Simon insisted he was clean, and claimed he had undergone regular tests, according to the lawsuit.
“We had sex unprotected,” the woman admitted, claiming that she was disease-free at the time of the encounter.
About two weeks later, she found out she had herpes, she said.
The woman’s lawsuit “seeks unspecified monetary damages.”
The Mark. Heh.
