Sheri Astrachen is suing real estate executive husband, Matthew Astrachen, for defamation in the Manhattan Supreme Court and is seeking $20 million in damages.

She claimed he humiliated her at the Old Westbury Golf & Country Club, which has a standing rule to publicly list the names of people with unpaid bills on notices in the locker rooms and did so with her.

‘This has had the intended effect of falsely making it appear to the Old Westbury Club and its constituent members, who are also neighbors and friends of [Sheri], that [she] is without the economic resources and assets to maintain pay for membership privileges,’ court papers obtained by The New York Post said.

Matthew is the vice president of commercial real estate firm and earns $4 million a year. He and Sheri have been married for 18 years and have three daughters.

Sheri allegedly caught her husband cheating with ‘one or more sales girls in New York City shops’  according to The post.

Sheri maintains that she should be able to enjoy the same luxuries she did when they were married even though they are now estranged.

Among the luxuries are a $150,000 Maserati, $100,000 in yearly vacations, their home, golf-club membership, $150,000 for a summer rental in the Hamptons, three housekeepers and nannies, and leases on a S550 Mercedes and Cadillac Escalade.
