It's all fun on the dance floor until you take your shoes off! Apparently, that's what happened on March 31st in international waters on the Resilient Lady cruise ship, according to a federal criminal complaint. Authorities allege that Kenneth DeGiorgio, the CEO of First American Financial Corp., choked a male victim following an incident that involved his wife, Nichol DeGiorgio. The complaint states that De Giogio's wife walked over to the male victim who had been dancing at the same night club aboard the ship and asked him to please put his shoes back on. The man only known as the initials, M.A. simply gave her his middle finger and carried on about his business. Security video showed DeGiorgio standing up, walking over to the victim and choking him, according to the complaint.
It says the victim stumbled "while under the physical control of DeGiorgio."
The victim said that DeGiorgio "used a lot of force" and that it felt like his "throat was going to be ripped out," the document says. The man alleged that during the incident, DeGiorgio said, "I am going to f---ing kill you."
