The bronze statue, which is about 3.5 meters tall, faces the windows of Mr. Markovitz’s ex-wife Lea Tuohy’s house.
It’s even spot-lit to ensure the neighbors can see it at night, Gawker reports.
Mr. Markovitz is a “local legend” who owns three strip clubs in the US city of Detroit. He reportedly lives with his 17-year-old daughter, Tiffany, from a previous relationship.
Photos of the statue started circulating online when Mrs. Tuohy’s daughter Lenka tweeted about it.

“How psychotic do you have to be to buy the house directly next to your ex-wife and then put a statue up like that?!?! Real classy Alan.”
Mr. Markovitz has a colorful reputation to say the least. He’s been shot twice and targeted by a murder contract, all while buying and selling local topless clubs, Deadline Detroit reports.
Mr. Markovitz has also written an autobiography, modestly entitled “Topless Prophet: The True Story of America’s Most Successful Gentleman’s Club Entrepreneur”. The book is currently being turned into a TV series.
Oh, and the guy obviously has enough cash floating around to casually buy a house and put a $7000 statue in the yard just to spite his ex-wife and her new partner.
Mr. Markovitz claims the statue is specifically aimed at Mrs. Tuohy’s housemate, with whom she had an affair while they were married.
“I’m so over her,” Mr. Markovitz told Deadline Detroit. “This is about him. This is about him not being a man.”
Mr. Markovitz says a realtor showed him the house next door to Mrs. Luohy’s by coincidence. After that, “karma” took over.
