Stephen J. Cloobeck (born October 26, 1961) is an American businessman and the founder, former chairman and chief executive officer of the timeshare company Diamond Resorts.
[4] Cloobeck stepped down as chairman and chief executive officer of Diamond Resorts International when the company was purchased by Apollo Global Management, LLC in June 2016.
[citation needed] On October 2, 2017, it was reported that Cloobeck donated $400,000 to the Las Vegas shooting GoFundMe campaign setup by law enforcement for benefit of victims.
[29] Cloobeck claims he's the "sole and exclusive" owner of the photos showing Gurzanski in skimpy bikinis and a revealing pink dress, which he says she published without his permission.
Cloobeck is also seeking to be reimbursed for the more than $1.3 million worth of gifts and "experiences" he lavished on his ex — including more than 100 bikinis and pieces of lingerie that she "used as props in her ... OnlyFans posts", the suit claims.
[26] Cloobeck says he has offered to settle with Gurzanski if she returns the gifts he bought her so he can donate the proceeds to charity, take down any photos that show his property, and provide a public apology acknowledging she deceived him about her pornographic history.
[28] On April 1, Arthur Barens, Gurzanski’s lawyer, filed a motion with the court seeking sanctions against Cloobeck, in excess of $100,000, for violating the temporary restraining order.
