Guy has 12 foot 'flipping the bird' statue installed next to ex-wife's house

Alan Markovitz claims his ex-wife’s affair ended their marriage. He also says she now lives with the man she was cheating with.

You might think Alan would want to be as far from them as possible.

You’d be wrong.

In fact, Alan bought the house next door to his ex and her new fella.

Then he paid to have a 12 foot statue of a hand with an extended middle finger pointed right at their house installed.

He even had a floodlight put in so the flagrant flip can be seen both night and day.

Alan told Fox 2 in Detroit the giant bronze bird is intended to send a message to the guy his ex was sneaking around with.

He also said he didn’t estimate this kind of attention. But when his ex’s daughter took a picture and put it on Twitter, the walls came tumbling down.

Markovitz, who owns three strip clubs in Detroit, says he’s going to leave the statue up as long as it’s legal.
