Judge Orders Filmmaker to Stay Away From Giuliani After Hamptons Skirmish

John McCluskey was given the order Wednesday during his arraignment on a charge of second-degree harassment.

A New York judge has issued an order of protection, instructing a Long Island filmmaker to stay away from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his wife.

John McCluskey was given the order Wednesday during his arraignment on a charge of second-degree harassment. McCluskey, who pleaded not guilty, was arrested last weekend after confronting Giuliani and his wife Judith Nathan on a street in Bridgehampton, New York.

McCluskey concedes he told the mayor he was not a fan of his, but denies that any physical contact ever took place. He added the order of protection was not necessary because he has no intentions of ever seeing Giuliani again.

The mayor and his wife have a home on eastern Long Island and have become frequent guests social functions in recent years.
