Former madam Michelle Braun, who claims to have provided girls to Tiger Woods, had to return clothes and jewelry worth up to $10,000 after she and her girlfriends went on a wild shopping spree at a South Beach hotel store — and then billed the lot to a sports agent’s room.
Sources say Braun returned the loot to the W Hotel shop on Tuesday after she and the girls, who were staying in the suite of agent Jeff Rubin for Super Bowl weekend, spent thousands and charged it to his bill.
One source said, “Michelle and one of her model girlfriends, C.J. Gibson, were guests of Rubin. They must have thought his room was comped and everything was free because they spent a lot of time shopping in the W store buying everything in sight — bikinis, dresses, little tight skirts, jewelry, lingerie — and charged everything to his room.
“When Rubin went to check out, he found he had $10,000 in charges and flipped out. The girls were ordered to either pay for their stuff or return it. Michelle was seen doing the walk of shame back to the store with a small portion of the purchases. She said Jeff’s assistant was out rounding up the rest and was bringing it all back with a stop at the dry cleaners.”
Braun, who claims she supplied former Playboy model Loredana Jolie to Woods in 2006 but insists she then quit the business, last night confirmed she and Gibson spent time at the W with Rubin, whom she described as a her friend and business partner.
But Braun — who also partied with Jamie Foxx, Mark Sanchez and Brody Jenner over the weekend — said, “There were a couple of girls, friends of C.J.’s, staying at his suite who took advantage. I was shocked when I saw the bill, so I got some clothes and a couple of bags back as a favor to him . . . Jeff wasn’t upset at all. It was me who forced them to return the items.”
Rubin, who specializes in wealth management for NFL players, said in a statement via Braun last night, “It was just a misunderstanding. Everything’s fine.”
