Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri has been arrested in New York on charges of wire-fraud conspiracy and money laundering.
He reportedly conned an investor into thinking Follieri was the chief financial officer of the Vatican, and could get the investor good deals on properties in the United States that are owned by the Catholic Church.
Right now, he’s sitting in jail in Manhattan awaiting arraignment. It’s probably a far cry from his penthouse apartment on Fifth.
We mentioned last week that Anne dumped his thieving ass because she was afraid he was going to ruin her good reputation.
Sounds like she had good reason to worry.
Remember when Heath Ledger’s family swore that they would provide for Matilda, his daughter with Michelle Williams, even though his will had been written before she was born? Back in March:
“Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family,” Heath’s father Kim Ledger says in a statement. “They will be taken care of and that’s how Heath would want it to be.”
Ledger’s rep quickly squashed any speculation that Williams and 2-year-old Matilda would not be provided for. “The story is getting taken out of context and media is speculating that this means Matilda and Michelle will not be taken care of. I want to make it very clear nothing could be farther from the truth.”
I’m sure Michelle Williams remembers this very clearly. But fast forward to now and apparently she and her daughter haven’t seen a dime of that inheritance. Michelle is reportedly planning to boycott the premiere of The Dark Knight next month over the dispute.
Not that I blame her. Kim Ledger made news a while back for his financial incompetence, so it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if he’s already spent it all on boomerangs and dingoes.
