Billionaire Michael Fisch is currently engaged in a divorce battle with his former wife, Laura Roberson-Fisch. Meanwhile, The New York Post revealed that Fisch became frustrated in between the proceedings, leading to a warning from the judge, who told him to remain calm.
The warning came at a time when Michael and Laura's legal teams were making certain claims against each other. Laura's attorney, Jonathan Wolfe, claimed that Michael was robbing artwork from their residence and that he was willing to pay her a "single dollar" of the divorce settlement.
Michael's attorney, Marilyn Chinitz, then claimed that Laura was stalking Michael when he was supposed to stay at the East Hampton mansion. Chinitz said:
"She is clearly exhibiting obsessive behavior to stalk him and harass him. It was his time at the home. She saw a car on the property, and she went on the property to stalk him and see, 'Who's there?'"
Wolfe continued to make more claims, including that Laura obtained a restraining order against Michael since the latter was robbing art from their "marital home." There was a time when Michael Fisch was spotted getting frustrated, and he expressed the same by putting his hand on the temple.
Fisch also charged Laura's legal team with creating a lot of lies, and as he tried to interrupt Jonathan, Judge Ariel Chesler requested him multiple times to listen and remain calm.

The houses were purchased between 2007 and 2013, and the duo later purchased another apartment for $21 million in 2019. A source revealed at the time:
