A Los Angeles man is accused of extorting former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Elizabeth Vargas and pointing a gun at her in an incident Tuesday, officials said.
Weintraub did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News on Thursday. A law enforcement source familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News that the victim was Vargas.
The two had been in a romantic relationship and Geraghty threatened to sell nude photos of the victim to the media, the district attorney’s office said. The victim was also forced to buy Geraghty a BMW, and on Jan. 31 he allegedly fired a gun into a ceiling during an argument, the DA’s office said. Geraghty has been convicted twice in residential burglary cases in Los Angeles, according to a criminal complaint. That could make him eligible for a life sentence under the state’s three strikes law if convicted, the district attorney’s office said.
