Nadine and Jordan's tumultuous relationship - as well as Jordan's illicit stock market scheme which saw him steal nearly $200 million from investors - was portrayed in the wildly popular 2013 flick Wolf of Wall Street, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan and Margot Robbie as Nadine, who was renamed Naomi for the movie.

The model-turned-therapist has become a viral TikTok star in a recent months for spilling numerous secrets about their marriage - and revealing which scenes of the Martin Scorsese film were accurate and which were exaggerated for the sake of views.
Most recently, she opened up about the part of the flick that featured the financial crook wrecking his car after he consumed a large amount of Quaaludes - a powerful sedative that Jordan was addicted to.
In the movie, Jordan is seen trying to get home from the country club after he accidentally took too much of the drug.
He struggles to walk and falls down the stairs, before he drags himself to his vehicle, and drives home.
'I was less than a mile from home, I drove as slow as I f**king could,' he said in a voiceover.
'I've seen Jello move faster. By some miracle I made it home alive, not a scratch on me or the car.'
However, the film then cuts to two police officers waking Jordan up and asking him to come outside to look at his car - which is actually completely smashed up.

While discussing the scene in a recent TikTok video, Nadine called it 'absolutely hysterical' - and pretty accurate to what really happened.
'The way Leonardo depicts him leaving the country club and falling down the stairs had me laughing out loud,' she said.
Nadine (seen with Jordan) recalled: Just like the movie, yes, the police did ring my bell. They said, "We're here to see your husband, he was in an accident"'
'Now, what wasn't so funny was when the Wolf came home, I had to help him get upstairs because he was wacked, and put him to bed.
'Just like the movie, yes, the police did ring my bell. Ding-dong. They said, "We're here to see your husband, he was in an accident."
'I was like, "No he wasn't, he's upstairs sleeping." They said, "Come outside and see the car."
'I go outside and see the car, it's demolished. I have no idea how he made it home but he did.'
Nadine added that she's still a member of the country club even now, decades on from the incident.
'I can't believe they actually [still] let me be a member, can you?' she concluded.
Jordan spent 22 months in prison after it was brought to light that he had scammed more than 1,500 people through an elaborate stockbroker scheme in 1999 - all while he was married to Nadine.

While discussing the 'horrific' part of the movie that showed Jordan beat Naomi, before attempting to steal their daughter while he was high on cocaine - Nadine admitted that while some of it wasn't true, he did get violent with her and try to take their children away when she told him she wanted to end their marriage.
In the scene, Naomi told Jordan that she wanted a divorce, that she's going to request full custody of their two kids, and that she'll only allow him to visit if he agreed to the divorce then and there - which sparked a fierce reaction from the stock broker.
But according to Nadine, that's not how it went down in real life. She stated in a TikTok video, 'That scene starts with me telling Jordan that I'm going to take his children from him. That never happened.

But she said he got 'really, really angry' when she told him she wanted to leave, adding: 'He got violent and he kicked me down the stairs. That was how that scene happened in real life'
'I never told Jordan once - when he was in jail, when he got indicted, or any other time - that I would take his children from him.'

In the movie, as Jordan became more and more enraged, he started to get physical with Naomi - ultimately punching her in the gut, grabbing their daughter from her bed, and trying to drive away with the youngster before crashing into a wall.
'What actually happened was, as you see in the movie, Jordan had a severe drug addiction and I was really thinking he was going to kill himself,' Nadine said.
'What I said to him was, "I'm not going to sit here and watch you kill yourself." So I told him I was going to leave him unless he went to rehab.
'He lit my clothing and jewelry on fire, he threw them in the fireplace and he got really, really angry with me.
'He told me he was going to take my daughter to Florida, and I was like, "No, over my dead body."
'At that moment was when he got violent with me and he kicked me down the stairs. That was actually how that scene happened in real life.'
