As the saying goes, there are a million stories in the naked city and Barbara Virginia Hudson's is just one of them. It is, however, a doozy. The 52-year-old Park Avenue divorcee is accused of hosting prostitute and cocaine fueled orgies at her multi-million dollar Manhattan penthouse on a regular basis. Man, the rich really are a whole different species, aren't they?
Over the course of her cocaine fueled parties and their aftermath, Hudson has pissed off a lot of people, including her maid, architect, and a building superintendent. As if the orgies, prostitutes and drug possession weren't enough, the brouhaha actually started when Hudson (perhaps suffering from cocaine paranoia) sued her maid Johanna Pimental, alleging that she stole $60,000 worth of pre-signed checks from Hudson's apartment while she was on vacation.
Pimental has been building her own case and it does not cast a favorable light on the Park Avenue divorcee. The former maid has been securing affidavits from several pissed off employees who are all too happy to talk about their former boss' proclivities for insanely debauched and illegal behavior.
The testimony contained in the affidavits paints an unbelievable picture of cocaine, animal, and human feces filled nights of partying with hookers.
Architect Alejandro Stojanovic claims that he found Hudson passed out naked in her penthouse which was strewn with jewelry and cash as wells as feces, empty liquor bottles, and pill containers on several occasions. She had to be resuscitated twice. Stojanovic is president of the firm 5H International where Hudson spent a year working as a decorator.

But what about those cocaine orgies featuring prostitutes as the evening's entertainment? Stojanovic also claims that Hudson had a mysterious Italian boyfriend, named Fernando, who set up the ludicrously over the top cocaine and hooker fueled orgies. Reportedly, he'd show up in the evening with a hooker or two on his arms for drug-fueled ménage-a-trois or quatres. Also, like a vampire, Fernando was only around at night. During the day he disappeared.
Pimental says that each night, she was tasked with issuing a check to the hooker (or hookers) of the night. The memo line on the check said "for entertainment."
Sheamus Cullen, superintendent at 521 Park Avenue from 2007-2009, has said that he encountered a naked Hudson multiple times. She was always in a drug and alcohol induced stupor at those times.
And then there's the feces. A lot of feces – human and dog.
You see, after the cocaine binges, there are inevitably the crashes. Hudson, who is an heiress to a notable Italian family from Milan, retreated to her bedroom in her penthouse for days on end. Her only companion in her post orgy seclusion was her crippled Chihuahua, Tilly. Neither Hudson nor Tilly would leave the bedroom for days, not even to use the bathroom. Poop was all over the bed and actually under the covers in the bed, which Pimental, as the maid, had to clean up. If Pimental did steal $60,000 worth of pre-signed checks, can you blame her, given the vile things she had to do and clean up?
You're looking at those cocaine-fueled orgies in a whole new light now, aren't you? They aren't so sexy after all.
Hudson was charged with misdemeanor witness tampering this spring when she allegedly contacted Stojanovic and threatened him, saying that if he supported Pimental and her allegations, she would ruin not only his business, but also his marriage. Hudson is due in court this fall to face those charges.
Hudson's attorney maintains that his UCLA and NYU educated client has never done drugs nor met a prostitute.
You've got to think, at some point, that Hudson's party will come to an end.
