Peggy Siegal is too pushy for posh Hamptons

Peggy Siegal, who hates being called a pushy publicist, has been staying at the posh Meadow Club in East Hampton this summer as a guest of one of the members — and her presence has not gone unnoticed.

“She’s characteristically rude to the staff, and she brags that she got into the club on the cheap,” one source told me. “Club members are up in arms.”

One member, a friend of Siegal’s, disagreed, saying, “She stayed there a couple weekends. She spent a lot of money in the pro shop, and they love her. She glamored them.”

The exclusive bastion of WASP reticence has seldom seen the like of the brash p.r. powerhouse, whose company recently worked on the NYC premiere for Woody Allen’s “Magic in the Moonlight,” starring Emma Stone. “The Meadow is so refined and low-key. It’s almost like a sitcom having her here,” said my source.

Siegal, reported to be on a yacht in the Greek islands, couldn’t be reached for comment.
