The third ex-wife of Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa has filed an explosive, million-dollar Manhattan lawsuit against her crime-fighting former husband, calling him a liar, a swindler and a philanderer.
Sliwa, 59, is no angel, ex-wife Mary Sliwa says in her suit, accusing him of siphoning nearly half a million dollars out of their marriage and funneling the money to his then-mistress and soon-to-be fourth wife, Queens borough- president candidate Melinda Katz.
“Curtis Sliwa is an inveterate, world-class liar,” jilted Mary Sliwa says in her suit, which details 13 instances during their marriage when Curtis allegedly abandoned his marital bed and engaged in “sexual intercourse” with Katz.
Long before his marriage officially ended, Curtis and his mistress secretly conspired to snatch $400,000 in tax-free marital assets away from Mary and from Anthony Chester Sliwa, the Sliwas’ 9-year-old special-needs son, Mary alleges in her raging lawsuit.
Curtis and Katz “had a secret, sexual, personal and intimate relationship for many years despite Curtis being married” to Mary, her lawsuit alleges.
After Met games, after Yankee games, after prize fights — on a total of at least 13 dates on April through August 2010, all specified in the lawsuit — Sliwa would call Mary and say he was too tired to come home, she claims.
Curtis would tell Mary he was going to stay overnight at the Empire State Building, where he does a radio broadcast mornings and evenings on AM 970.
Instead, Mary alleges, the Guardian Angel “committed adultery with her [Katz] on ¬myriad of occasions.”
The alleged swindle began in 2008 when Katz was first impregnated in vitro with sperm donated by Curtis.
Curtis would insist to Mary that there was no relationship with Katz, claiming that Katz ¬got pregnant without his permission by using frozen sperm he had donated to Katz years earlier, before he and Mary wed.
In Mary’s suit, she says that after the child was born, the Guardian Angel claimed he was compelled by law to pay child support to Katz out of marital assets.
But Curtis lavished money on Katz, making child-support payments of $8,000 a month — or $96,000 a year, tax-free — plus another $1,500 a month tax-free to pay for a $2 million life-insurance policy, the suit alleges.
By law, Curtis had to pay no more than $1,700 a month in child support, Mary says.
The swindle continued with Katz having a second child using Curtis’s sperm, in 2010. Curtis even tapped his special-needs child’s own account dry so he could pour $70,000 into Katz’s coffers, the suit charges.
“This is a sad, frivolous lawsuit,” Katz responded through a campaign spokesman.
“Unfortunately, it is an attempt by a political campaign and false innuendo as leverage to publicly rehash a long-ago-settled divorce.”
Neither Curtis nor Mary Sliwa could be reached for comment.
