Alan Dershowitz says Larry David 'called me disgusting and said he could never talk to me'

Life imitated "Curb Your Enthusiasm" last summer on Martha's Vineyard when Page Six reported that Larry David and celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz got into a public brawl over politics at a Martha's Vineyard grocery store.< /p>

In a , Dershowitz, who has represented Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, offered new details about the August 2021 altercation.

When asked if it was true that Larry David "chewed it up", Dershowitz replied, "He did, yes. What happened was that it is interesting because I was having lunch with a very radical lawyer who likes me. I mean, he disagrees with me. We argue all the time, but he's not part of the Chilmark crowd. J So I was having lunch with him and then a number of other people were there. Suddenly, Larry David walks in to buy groceries. I say, 'Hey. Hi, Larry', and he turns away, and he walks away. I say, 'Larry, can't we at least talk?' He's like, 'No. You're disgusting.'"

Pressed further, Dershowitz said, "He called me disgusting and said he could never talk to me. Here's a guy who came to our house to train at the gym. He came home for dinner two or three times a summer.”

He added, "We're friends. I represented him twice pro bono. Suddenly just because of that and because obviously my defense of Trump happened."

The lawyer was such a fan of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' that he sent it in 2011 hoping to invite Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to watch it and that it would jump start the peace process.

Dershowitz delved into the details of the encounter, during which David was ticked off once by witnessing the attorney pat former CIA director and Trump secretary of state Mike Pompeo on the back.

"It's true. I did it. Here's the story. It was the Abraham Accords, or the movement toward peace in Israel under the Trump administration, in which I played a part central," Dershowitz said. "So I played a central role — not a central role, a big role in that. I helped. So they were celebrating at the White House. I was there anyway because it was the day after my speech in the Senate, so I was invited to come. They assigned seats. They sat me right behind Mike Pompeo, who had been my former student at Harvard Law School. Trump made a really bad joke and people laughed. I didn't laugh. (as the New Yorker pointed out.)

"I thought it was a bad joke. My wife laughed. I didn't laugh," Dershowitz said. "I patted her on the back and said, 'Mike, that too, It will pass. You will be remembered for what you did in the Middle East. That was it. That was the whole meeting. I don't know Mike Pompeo."

Previously confirming meeting with Page Six last August, Dershowitz said at the time, "I'm not going to get into a screaming match with him. If he wants to scream, he'll have to scream on his own."

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” has been confirmed for season 12 on HBO.
