《Deadline Detroit》报道称Markovitz与一个女人结婚两年，Markovitz声称这个女人跟一个他认识的男人偷情。

She reportedly moved in with the man after she and Markovitz had split up. 'I'm so over her,' Markovitz told Deadline Detroit. 'This is about him. This is about him not being a man.'

这个女人与Markovitz离婚后与那个男人同居了。Markovitz辩解说“我和她已经结束了，竖这个雕像是因为那个家伙，他的行为太不男人了。”

When a friend tweeted that Alan's gesture was making him 'look like an idiot,' Tuohy concurred: 'Like lol someone's not over my momma!'

当有朋友发推表示Alan的行为使他“看起来像个傻瓜”时，Markovitz前妻的女儿Tuohy赞同道：“似乎某人还是忘不了我妈”。

According to Deadline Detroit, the sculpture cost $7,000. But flipping off your ex-wife every single day? For Markovitz, it's priceless.

据《Deadline Detroit》报道，这座铜像总造价7000美元，但对Markovitz来说，每天对前妻竖中指，这钱花得值得……
