| [NYPOST] A financial CEO is facing federal charges for allegedly choking out a fellow cruise passenger who called his wife a ''f—king bitch'' for asking him to stop dancing barefoot, according to the FBI. Kenneth DeGiorgio, the 53-year-old CEO of Southern California mortgage lending company First American Financial, attacked the other man in one of the Virgin Voyages ship's cocktail lounges Monday while telling him, ''I'll f—king kill you,'' according to a federal complaint. The other passenger, only identified by the initials M.A., later told federal investigators he ''felt as if his throat was going to be ripped out,'' the documents said. The fracas erupted early Monday in international waters off Martinique after the CEO's wife, Nichol DeGiorgio, asked M.A. to stop dancing barefoot in the Resilient Lady's ''On the Rocks'' bar, telling him, ''Look, we are all grown-ups here, can you put your shoes on?'' ''Shut up, you f—king bitch,'' M.A. allegedly shot back while also flipping the bird, the documents said. DeGiorgio was then seen on surveillance footage crossing the dance floor and attacking the cursing cruise passenger, grabbing him by the throat and forcing him to the floor, according to the complaint. |

| #5 Dancing on the bar? Then flips out when an older woman suggest he grow up. The world is full of assholes. You know why? Because people let the get away with it. |

| #4 I'm not a fan of hippies but have a hippy heart. First thing I do when I get home from work is kick off my shoes. Helps my feet dont stink and look normal. I love barefoot. If I was on a cruise ship, I'd be barefoot too. I was curious and looked up their shoe/barefoot policy: Guests are encouraged to wear more than a bathing suit and consider shoes, but the cruise line advises your style is your style, no judgement. |
