Giuliani's Wife Tries To Slam Door on Girlfriend's Visits
By Michael Powell May 9, 2001
Mayor Rudy Giuliani's very public divorce case has taken another baroque turn, this time featuring his wife's request for a legal order to keep his girlfriend away from Gracie Mansion, the tax-supported and handsomely appointed family home. The mayor shrugged off reporters' questions today, saying the courts had imposed a gag order on him. "Good try," Giuliani said when asked about his wife's latest legal maneuver. "I was a lawyer for a long time. I know how to comply with a court order." But no such order exists, said a state court administrator. "It's pretty simple: There is not a gag order signed by the court," said David Bookstaver, the director of communications for the state Office of Court Administration. The mayor's attorney, Raoul Felder, said that both sides have agreed to a gag order, which will be in place in another day or two. "It's a tempest in a semantic teapot," he said.

Giuliani had reportedly been smitten with Nathan for months before he took their relationship public last spring. In a frenzied week or two last May, he announced that he had prostate cancer, that he was dating Nathan and that he had decided not to challenge Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate race. Then he informed his wife, through a press conference, that he was seeking a separation. Hanover promptly convened her own press conference to accuse Giuliani of conducting an earlier affair with his former mayoral spokeswoman.
Then a calm descended. Divorce papers were quietly filed, Nathan marched in the Columbus Day parade with the mayor, and Hanover continued her official functions as first lady. Hanover, a part-time actress, also appeared on Broadway in "The Vagina Monologues," delivering extended riffs on orgasms, rape and lesbianism.
But as Nathan's role grew, so did Hanover's annoyance, say sources close to her. Nathan had already taken in several parties at Gracie Mansion, including a Yankees World Series celebration.

Anyone paying attention in the NYC metro and surrounding area knew about this drama that played out that fateful year of 2001 (before 9/11).
