A New York City socialite and daughter of a former NFL Washington Redskins owner was arrested on Wednesday, after she reportedly attacked a man on New Year’s Eve, leaving him with a bloodied head.
People reports that Jacqueline Kent Cooke, 29, was arrested in NYC after she reportedly made an anti-semitic remark to an elderly woman while at the Caravaggio restaurant in Upper East Side of Manhattan. The woman’s son, 52-year-old Matthew Haberkorn, of San Francisco, defended his mother, which resulted in a physical confrontation between him and Cooke.
According to the police report, Cooke smashed her Lulu Guinness Chloe Mirrored Perspex Box Clutch onto Haberkorn’s head, causing a laceration and bleeding. Haberkorn said the ordeal began after Cook reportedly referred to his mother as a “Jew” while trying to rush the elderly woman to hurry up at the coat check area.

“Hurry up, Jew! Hurry up, Jew, I got places to be!” Cooke reportedly said to Haberkorn’s 77-year-old mother.
“We all got places to be,” Haberkorn’s wife, Linda Thomas, said back . “You know what? I take total offense at that. You’re small-minded.”
Haberkorn, who was there with his wife and his daughters, said Cooke’s boyfriend, joined in.
“Happy bat mitzvah, girls,” Cooke’s boyfriend allegedly said to Haberkorn’s daughters.
Haberkorn, according to New York Daily News, followed Cooke outside, curious to know why she was so rude to his family. That’s when the socialite attacked him with her purse, according to Haberkorn.
“I walked up to her and asked her why she said that. She took her purse, which was a mirrored glass purse, and smashed me with it.”

One of Haberkorn’s daughters took out her cellphone and began filming the incident, just as Cooke’s boyfriend stepped in to break up the altercation. Cooke, who was on the ground when the video started, tried to pull Haberkorn down with her, as her boyfriend accused of him of “throwing a woman on the floor.” Haberkorn claimed he never touched her.
“I didn’t f—ing touch her. She falls down and tries to hold or take me down.”
“You called me a f***ing bitch, you called me a c—,” Cooke screamed.
“You called me a f***ing Jew,” Haberkorn responded.
Cooke and boyfriend reportedly ran off after the incident.
Reporters with NY Daily News knocked on Cooke’s door in the Upper East Side on Wednesday. She answered the door in grey pajamas, denied the incident. and claimed she was at home on New Year’s Eve.
”There’s nothing that happened on New Year’s Eve. I was here in my apartment.”
Cooke later turned herself in and we led in handcuffs to the Manhattan Central Booking, on an assault charge.
