The ex-wife of the “Wolf of Wall Street” spills tea – but not a drop of wine.
Nadine Macaluso, who was married to con artist Jordan Belfort for 14 years and was later played by Margot Robbie in the 2013 film, uses her popular TikTok account to rant about her failed first marriage and the accuracy of Martin Scorsese’s Hollywood film .
Of course, some story elements on screen are embellished for dramatic effect, but one thing is remarkably apt.
In a recent post that has been liked more than 5,700 times so far, the therapist and marriage counselor confirmed that a strange detail from the Leonardo DiCaprio drama is completely true – Macaluso actually drinks her red wine through a straw.
During a scene in the Oscar-nominated film, DiCaprio as Belfort and Robbie are sitting at a table in a restaurant when she calls out to the waiter and asks, “Can I get a straw, please?”
“I don’t want to ruin my veneers and it works,” Macaluso, 55, says in the TikTok video. “It keeps them white.”

In a previous post, Macaluso, who has two children with her ex-husband, admitted that she was very afraid in the early 2010s that the trauma of their relationship would be brought to screen.
In addition to his financial inadequacies, Belfort, now 61, cheated on his young wife and was an unpredictable drug addict.
“I was embarrassed,” she said. “I had already witnessed this Greek tragedy in its entirety, and then it was going to be spread around the world. My trauma for the world to see.”
Today, Macaluso is a marriage counselor and therapist based in California.TikTok/@drnaelmft
But she added, “Suddenly I realized it was going to happen, and it was bigger than me… And ironically, that happened when people at my therapy office said to me, ‘Wait, I want to come see you.’ as a therapist because you’ve been through this and come here and this is the life you lead, you walk your talk.’”
Nadine is now married to businessman John Macaluso, who has three children from a previous marriage and lives in California.
