Upper West Side Man Feeling Fury of Scorned Mistress in the Form of Billboards
After her 8 1/2-year relationship with her married boyfriend ended, YaVaughnie Wilkins took out her scorn in a unique (and expensive) way… by plastering cities across the country with billboards of her nuzzling her now-ex boyfriend, Charles E. Phillips. The billboards, located at 45th and 3rd, 49th and 7th, and 52nd and Broadway (along with locations in Atlanta and San Fransisco), cost Wilkins up to $250,000, making for a pricey quest at revenge. Wilkins released a statement after the billboards were put up stating, “I had an 8½-year serious relationship with YaVaughnie Wilkins… the relationship with Ms. Wilkins has since ended, and we both wish each other well.” Wilkins, a former Morgan Stanley exec and member of Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board who is now working at tech conglomerate Oracle, initiated a divorce from his wife in 2008 but has since reconciled with her and resides in an Upper West Side brownstone with her and their son. The New York Post attempted to speak to Wilkins about the billboards at his UWS apartment, but he (understandably) dismissed them. [Source: New York Post, Fox]
