And finally…off the deep end

The former girlfriend of a Bahamas-based banker reportedly got her revenge by driving his Mercedes into his swimming pool.

Guy Gentile broke up Russian-born model with Kristina Kuchma over dinner at a restaurant during which she had asked him for $50,000 so she could start up a marketing business.

Describing the conversation, Mr Gentile told the New York Post: “I said, ‘You know what? You got the wrong guy. If you want a guy who’s going to hand you money for nothing, you got the wrong guy.’”

Mr Gentile said that she was so incensed by his rejection of her request that Ms Kuchma threw hot green tea in his face and stormed off.

He later received a text message from her that read: “Lier! You told me you will help me to start a business! That were your words! Now you want to be an investor??? Well investor I have a surprise for you on a backyard, start with that investment idea first.”

When he arrived home the next morning, he found his Mercedes S400 hybrid at the bottom of his swimming pool.

“My heart dropped because of . I didn’t care about the car at that moment,” he told the newspaper.

“But after I realised she wasn’t in it, then I start to get p——- off that she would pull something like this after everything I’ve done for her.

“I dumped her. She dumped my car.”

A report was filed to the police after the incident.

Mr Gentile said it took more than four hours for the car to be removed from the pool.

He added: “I really loved this girl and would have married her, but she went too far!”
