Melanie Bonvicino, a spokesperson for Follieri, addressed the numerous reports telling the New York Post he was “angered” by “repeated mischaracterizations” of the couple’s split.

“It is worth noting,” Bonvicino said. “As you continue to attempt to scandalize a respected businessman and philanthropist, that the Follieri Foundation has vaccinated hundreds of children in Nicaragua and Honduras to date, in addition to recently rebuilding an orphanage in Brazil.”

Follieri has made headlines recently for reportedly failing to file an IRS tax disclosure form for his foundation, which is a requirement for charities.
