Ellen Barkin Douses Ex-Husband

Actress Ellen Barkin was out in a small restaurant on Bank Street friends on Wednesday night, having a good time, until she saw her ex-husband, Ron Perelman.

Apparently there's no love lost between the two and he allegedly forced her out of his mansion on East 63rd Street (NYC) last January. She was his fourth wife. Last month, she made headlines by selling off all the jewelry he had given her, to the tune of $21 million.

As he approached her table on Wednesday, she was filling up her water glass and told him, "Don't come any closer!"

Eyewitnesses report that he leaned down as if he was going to kiss her on the cheek and she took that moment to drench him with a full glass of water.

Perelman's spokeswoman said, "It is pitiful that Ms. Barkin has fabricated a reason to justify an unprovoked assault on him."

Barkin apologized to a waiter, who got a little wet in the process. The waiter told her, "You don't have to apologize - I read the papers."
