This Victoria’s Secret model was no angel when she allegedly trashed her fully furnished, luxury SoHo rental and skipped out on its $32,000-a-month rent, according to a new lawsuit.
Swiss-born stunner Julie Ordon — who also has posed for Chanel, Playboy and the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue –and her French hubby, David Mimran, allegedly did more than $150,000 in damage to their rented, fourth-floor condo at 500 Greenwich St. from 2009 to 20012.
The landlord, an investment firm called Allerand, had outfitted the unit with “exquisite and valuable antiques, furniture and equipment,” the Manhattan Supreme Court suit says.
In the lease signed by Mimran, an international businessman, he “agreed to take good care of” the interior furnishings and “return them without damage.”
But the couple “caused unspeakable damage to the subject unit … ruining furniture, electronic systems, floor coverings, and fixtures including many of the antiques and collectibles,” Allerand alleges.
The wreckage included a shredded hand-loomed Nepalese rug worth $18,000 that had been ripped up by a child’s tricycle, three missing flat-screen televisions, stained maple wood flooring, and a $45,000 Art Deco-style dining room table and chairs that had to be restored, the landlord said.
The couple also did not pay rent for June, July or August 2012 when they moved out, according to the lawsuit..
“This is an unfortunate situation of people believing that they can get away with anything,” said the landlord’s lawyer, Joshua Price.
“My client asserts that these two individuals ran out on their rent bill and destroyed valuable antiques on their way out the door,” Price said.
Reached in her native Switzerland by cell phone, Ordon said her former landlord is just after her pocketbook.
“I think in America, it’s very easy to do lawsuits and get money from everyone for no reason,” she said, adding that she’d moved her family to the European country so they could ski in the winter and spend summers by a lake.
She claimed that the apartment was far from luxurious —“There was problems with the oven, with the fridge, with the air,” she sniffed.
“We even had water damage from the rooftop. It leaked all over my shoe and bag collection—I had Birkins and Louis Vuittons that got ruined,” she whined.
In addition to the $153,351 in property damage, the landlord wants $10,000 for late charges, $96,000 in unpaid rent, almost $5,000 in allegedly stolen property and $20,000 in legal fees.
The damage was so significant that it took three months to repair, the suit says, and the landlord also wants Ordon and Mimran to pay for that lost rent.
