This was one heavyweight fight.
A morbidly-obese, married Long Island lawyer once accused of tormenting his much younger lover made waves at his Florida country club on New Year’s Eve — grabbing a man’s phone and tossing it in a pool in an ugly confrontation over poolside lounge chairs.
Video of the wet-and-wild Dec. 31 incident shows 550-pound Ronald David Ingber towering over two people next to the pool at the Wycliffe Country Club in Palm Beach County, which has an initial platinum membership fee of $95,000.
Ingber, 52, can be seen grabbing a younger man’s hand before ripping away his phone and throwing it in the water.
The 49-second clip shows the stunned man frantically backing away, yelling and pointing at Ingber, shouting, “You f–king…!”
“What are you doing?” the man’s older female companion yelped at Ingber.
“Can you get my phone please?” the man, clad in a grey T-shirt and black shorts, asks a swimmer before turning to staff.
“He threw my phone in the pool!” the man can be heard shouting in the footage. “F–k you, send this f–ker to jail!”
Ingber briefly stared at him before turning away and sitting down as staffers arrived to separate the trio, the bystander footage shows.
A second clip shows another view of the incident — with the younger man and the older woman squabbling with someone lounging by the pool — claiming the man had stolen their seats.
As the clash unfolded, the woman loudly turned to people sitting nearby.
“Are you responsible for this?” she demanded, pointing to the alleged seat-thief.
and so on and so forth
