LAWSUIT: I BEDDED CARL'S WIFE (Bernstein)

LAWSUIT: I BEDDED CARL'S WIFE

WATERGATE sleuth Carl Bernstein - partly credited with forcing President Richard Nixon from office - has a new foe to battle.

A man who claims he's a longtime lover of Bernstein's wife has filed a $16.4 million suit against the couple for branding him a stalker and having him falsely arrested. A police officer also is listed as a defendant.

Jeffrey Silver, an investor in his late 50s and the father of four, claims he had a romantic relationship with Bernstein's spouse - former model Christine Kuehbeck - that went on until just five days before she filed a "stalking and harassment complaint" against him last August.

In papers filed in Manhattan federal court, Silver says the complaint and an order of protection against him were dismissed by the Manhattan district attorney's office. A spokeswoman for DA Robert Morgenthau told The Post's Carl Campanile the case is sealed.

"The only true 'stalker' or 'harasser' in this sordid story was Bernstein himself," Silver insists in the lawsuit.

But Bernstein's lawyer, Jonathan Abady, said: "This complaint is an outrageous falsehood and was filed in a clear effort to extract money from an internationally respected author and journalist and to slander a wonderful woman. Carl Bernstein and his wife have filed formal complaints against Mr. Silver with the NYPD and the Manhattan DA's office for making death threats against them, continual harassment and stalking, and other abusive conduct.

"We are anxious for the truth to be known about Mr. Silver's motivations and actions - including his record of bizarre and violent behavior against others as well."

In biting language, Silver's complaint charges that Bernstein was "obsessed" with stopping him from seeing his wife and was sending him threatening messages. Silver also accuses the journalist of trying to pick up his 25-year-old daughter in the late 1990s.

The suit claims Kuehbeck confided to Silver that Bernstein suffered from bizarre behavior, including "bipolar disorder-like tendencies," and complained of his "sexual inadequacy."

"Within the first two weeks of the purported marriage [in 2003], Kuehbeck twice had sexual trysts with [Silver]," the suit alleges. Kuehbeck, in a statement filed with authorities, claimed she only had a brief relationship with Silver in 1994. Silver says he submitted voluminous evidence to prosecutors claiming she lied.

As though this is somehow a bad thing.

LOL! Bernstein is dumb as a goat. Probably did not even know that most of Woodward's stuff in '73-'74 was a bunch of lies.

Bernstein is as leftie as they come, but he did write a good book on how Pope John Paul II and Reagan tag-teamed to destroy the Evil Empire in the Cold War. Excellent read, and a subject verboten for MSM news "magazines" to report.

Even more like the book and movie, Heartburn, written by Nora Ephron, one of Carl Bernstein's ex-wives.

Meryl Streep played the very pregnant Nora and Jack Nicholson was the pathologically philandering Carl.
Why it was ever made into a movie is way beyond me.
The book was certainly bad enough, even though it did ring true.

I agree. When I saw who wrote it, I was expecting the typical anti-Catholic leftie smears, but after reading it was surprised (actually gobsmacked) at how well Bernstein treated both the Pope and The Gipper.

Just shows that you can't always tell a book by it's cover ~;))

FYI - "Heartburn" was the book, and later a movie, starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. It was written by Nora Ephron, Bernstein's ex-wife, and it is a thinly disguised autobiography about the end of their marriage due to his fooling around while she was pregnant.

Carl and Christine only got married in July of '03.

And since that time she admits to at least a brief dalliance with Silver?

HAhahahaha!

I don't care who flames me, but Bernstein deserves this for all the BS he's peddled in the past decade.

Considering Bernstein's behavior when he was married to Nora Ephron and she was pregnant, I say "who cares? about anything these degenerates do. Appears to be just a form of entertainment to that class.
