Barry Gesser, known to be one of the 'Wolves of Wall Street' is currently separating from his wife of just 15 days, actress Stacey Alysson after she found him in bed with New York socialite Dori Cooperman last January 29, according to Richard Johnson via Page Six News.

Gesser was previously charged for stock fraud and racketeering in 1999. He pleaded guilty to fraud and served three years in probation. He also forfeited US$2.1 million.

After moving to Beverly Hills, he met Alysson. He proposed to her with a US$60,000 diamond ring after 14 months of dating.

However last January 29, Gesser's wife went home to see Dori Cooperman, much to her shock.

"There in bed with him wearing my clothes," Alysson said.

However Cooperman shares another side of the story, claiming she was just a house guest of Gesser and they have been friends for more than twenty years.

"We were just sitting and talking. I may have put on Alysson's shirt by mistake. They started arguing, I went to my room. The next thing I know, the police are there," Cooperman recalls the incident vividly.

"Gesser told me to leave my wedding ring. He told me if I didn't, he would bury me six feet under. I took this threat seriously because he's a convicted felon with no regard for the law and has deep connections to the mafia,"Alysson said, five days after procuring a temporary restraining order.

"I'm afraid of him. I don't want anything from him. I made a bad mistake in getting married and I'm getting out quick," she further added.

Though no one was charged after that incident, Gesser denies his soon to be ex-wife's version of the events that happened. Both Gesser and Alysson will be in court by February 24, after Alysson wants to put a temporary restraining order.

Alysson is still keeping the US$16,000 ring.
