George Soros Wins a Big Round in the Suit Filed Against Him by Brazilian Ex-Girlfriend

George Soros won a bid on Tuesday to dismiss a $50 million claim by an ex-girlfriend who claimed he reneged on a promise to buy her a pricey Manhattan apartment, but the appeals court did not dismiss an assault claim against the billionaire, reports The Jewish Daily Forward.

A New York state appellate court dismissed claims by Brazilian former actress Adriana Ferreyr, 30, seeking damages for fraud, infliction of emotional distress and other claims.

“The facts alleged do not show that (Soros) caused ‘unconscionable injury’ to (Ferreyr) as a result of any unreasonable reliance she placed on his alleged promises,” the appellate decision reads.

The ruling did not dismiss a claim in the lawsuit that Soros committed assault and battery when he slapped the woman in the face and grabbed her throat during a 2010 argument.
