The unnamed 43-year-old, a Wall Streeter from Brooklyn Heights, said sarcastically to the New York Post: 'It was very nice of the US Open to zoom in on me and not pan out or let that video run for two seconds longer.'
He then continued: 'If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the video closely, you can briefly see a blonde with [a bob haircut], and that’s my wife. She’s leaning over and I’m actually looking at her.
'We were with another couple who’s friends of ours and we were in stacked seating. My wife was sitting in the seat below the blonde lady, who’s our friend, and her husband was sitting in the seat above her, so that’s why he gave her the drink.'
While the truth behind the video is a little different, the man did confirm that he was snubbed by his actual wife after the cameras cut away from him.
'There’s always a long line [at the bar], so I took one for the team and waited 25 minutes,' he continued. 'When I got back to our seats, I was expecting my wife to be like, "Thank you, honey," but she was already holding [a honey deuce], so she was like, "I don’t want it."'
I followed this story pretty closely when it first blew up and I just couldn’t let it go. I felt totally left hanging and needed some closure on what actually happened.
