A husband and father of two teenagers, Nabit built his career in health care, restaurants, commercial real estate and then private equity. He’s owned stakes in Mountain Manor Treatment Center in Baltimore for people addicted to drugs and alcohol. He owned the old Fells Point restaurant Waterfront Kitchen, which he renamed Ampersea three years ago.

Nabit has long been a fixture in Baltimore society. He threw Christmas parties at his historic Roland Park mansion. He owns vacation homes in Bethany Beach and outside Boca Raton, Florida. He served on the boards of the B&O Railroad Museum, the Hippodrome Foundation, the Walters Art Museum and the Calvert School. His nonprofit, the Nabit Foundation, has donated more than $5 million, according to court records.

The case exposed the sex sold in backrooms of strip clubs on downtown Baltimore’s The Block. Nabit’s attorneys wrote that four of his victims worked as exotic dancers but also had commercial sex with men in the bars. The bars maintained rooms for use by sex workers.

That’s where Nabit met the women, and would have his trysts a short walk away at his office on Commerce Street after hours, prosecutors said.

Since August 2018, he paid the women and an alleged pimp at least $90,000 for sex, prosecutors wrote in court documents.
...
Last year, federal agents raided Nabit’s office at his investment firm Westport Group LLC. According to court records, agents found a big couch that converted to a bed; there was a sheet on the bed, five GoPro cameras, and sex toys in his desk. Agents found a cache of videos and photos Nabit recorded of himself having sex with the women.
...
Prosecutors charged him under the Mann Act, a 100-year-old federal law intended today to prosecute the human traffickers who cross state lines to pimp out women. He traveled with the sex workers as his escorts and companions, even paying one woman $30,000 to $40,000 over the year, his attorney, Steven Allen said.

Eric Zemmour, 63, has taken legal action to try to prevent Closer from releasing details of his secret affair with Sarah Knafo, 28.

But the confidentiality request was rejected out of court and on Friday the magazine headlined: “Eric Zemmour will be a dad in 2022”.

Née en 1993 aux Pavillons-sous-Bois1,2, Sarah Knafo est issue d'une famille juive séfarade d'Algérie3.

One thing about Zemmour's alleged "scandal"—if it's true, he's fighting the demographic battle agains the many, many, Muslims having babies named Mohammed in France.

"Well, my life is really quite conservative. I've been married nearly 50 years. I don't have hobbies or children. I don't much care to travel. I've never had a big social life. I really just stay home, except when I go to work." A pause. "So in that sense I suppose I'm a regular guy."
...
"I have one of those satellite things," he says. "On my television. And there are maybe 40 channels of movies. So once a day pretty much every day I'll surf those. I just go from one movie to another, watching 10 minutes of this, 10 minutes of that. And often there's something I'm in. And sometimes I'm quite good in it. And I'll sit and watch."
...
Would his career have been possible had he had children? "Absolutely not. I'm sure many of the kids I knew as a child would have continued in showbusiness, but they had kids of their own, had to do something dependable. I didn't, so I could get by even in periods of unemployment."

Yet free time makes him uneasy. The usual diversions don't appeal. "A lot of my actor friends are passionate about golf or tennis," he says, as if they were passionate about dandruff. "Those things aren't for me." Is there anything he does that could be called a hobby? "I like to cook. You could call that a hobby. A hobby you can eat."
