Rudy’s wife’s ex alleges anti-Semitic epithets

Rudy Giuliani’s wife used anti-Semitic epithets against her Jewish ex-husband, according to the ex-husband’s claims during a contentious divorce. Judith and Bruce Nathan split in 1992, after she claimed he assaulted her – one of numerous alleged physical attacks, according to divorce papers. This week’s New York magazine reports that Bruce Nathan countered during divorce proceedings that Judith would call him a “Jew boy” when he said he couldn’t afford something. Bruce Nathan also claimed that his wife physically abused him. Judith Nathan is playing a central role in her husband’s campaign to win the Republican nomination for president. Giuliani is a leading contender for Jewish support, partly because of his staunchly pro-Israel record as New York City mayor.
