The ex-wife of the real life Wolf of Wall Street confirmed a disturbing act actually happened at the infamous beach party.

Yesterday (17 January) marked 11 years since the Martin Scorsese blockbuster released in the UK, and it’s still many's favourite film around.

Played by Leonardo DiCaprio, it was based on Jordan Belfort’s memoir, documenting his career working in New York City and the corruption and fraud of Wall Street. And of course, that means featuring a load of drink, drugs, sex and profanities.

But with all that drama and wildness, you might think the film is heavily dramatised, with things exaggerated for the big screen.

However, Nadine Macaluso (Belfort’s ex-wife) has confirmed that much of it really did happen.

Appearing on the Anything Goes with James English podcast, she branded about ’90 percent’ of the film as accurate and claimed that in real life, things were actually even more over the top.

This is backed up by real footage of one of the parties hosted by Belfort, with him hyping up the crowd from the roof. Flocks of people can be seen in and around the pool getting rowdy while he carries out one of his famous speeches.

In a TikTok, Macaluso recalled meeting Belfort at one of those parties, revealing to be the portrayal in the film as pretty accurate.

"Well, it's actually pretty similar to the movie. I was, I guess, 22 years old and modelling and my boyfriend at the time, said, 'You want to go to this party in Westhampton in this house on the beach?', and I was like, 'Sure,’” she said.

"And so we pulled up, and I remember walking into the house, and there were all these people acting really weird. Little did I know that they were all Quaaluded out, I had no idea."

During the film, when Belfort does go up to chat to her character (played by Margot Robbie), things are overshadowed when Jonah Hill’s character gets a bit rude.


Again, this grossness wasn’t sensationalised.

Macaluso continued: “They're with their wives and they were like, just making lewd and weird comments.

"And that scene where someone actually exposes himself to me was true. And I actually got terrified by that.

"I'm 22. And I said to my boyfriend at the time, 'We have to leave this party,' and we left right away."
