The Hamptons social scene is abuzz with gossip after the recent breakup of celebrity dermatologist, Dr. Howard Sobel. Dubbed the “King of Lipo,” Sobel finds himself thrust under the microscope after explosive court papers filed by his ex-wife, Brittney, accused him of being an “abusive and controlling husband.” Despite the allegations, Sobel was spotted at a recent event, where witnesses claimed he was “chatting up women” and even got a woman’s phone number. However, Sobel denies these claims, stating that he was merely providing advice as a doctor. With his recent divorce and new bachelor status, Sobel has become the talk of the town in the Hamptons.
In response to the rumors surrounding his behavior at the event, Sobel firmly denies any flirting. He asserts that the woman in question simply needed advice and he handed her his business card. Sobel, who is rumored to have a net worth of $30 million, attended the event with a male friend and left early. He emphasizes that he was not actively seeking to meet women, and his interactions were limited to conversations with acquaintances. Despite his attempts to keep a low profile, Sobel couldn’t escape being the subject of conversation at the event. Witnesses noted that he looked great, even at 72 years old, garnering attention with his well-dressed appearance among the affluent attendees.
Page Six exclusively reported Sobel and Brittney’s divorce filing in May after six years of marriage. The case has since grown contentious with allegations that Sobel is deliberately delaying child support payments. According to court papers, their daughter faces “gross motor skill delays” and “hypersensitivity.” Sobel is accused of refusing to provide adequate support, with the filing alleging that his actions stem from a desire to punish Brittney rather than financial hardship. The court papers further claim that Sobel attempted to have his estranged wife arrested twice on false allegations of harassment and installed surveillance cameras in their home. Sobel vehemently denies these allegations, asserting that he is unable to meet the high child support payments. He also disputes his daughter’s supposed special needs, claiming that she is intellectually advanced for her age. Additionally, Sobel accuses his ex-wife of attempting to extort more than $9.5 million from him.
As the divorce proceedings continue, both Sobel and Brittney express their desire for an amicable resolution. Sobel states that he wishes to quickly finalize the divorce without further acrimony, emphasizing that a battle in court would not benefit either spouse or their children. A representative for the couple released a statement to Page Six, confirming their commitment to working together to resolve the issues of their marriage privately. They kindly request privacy for their family during this challenging time.
The Hamptons social scene is abuzz with the scandalous breakup of Dr. Howard Sobel and the accusations made by his ex-wife, Brittney.
