NY- Michael Strahan angrily testified yesterday that his now-estranged wife launched into an expletive-laden tirade over a credit card the night before their twins' christening ceremony.
His patience wearing thin, the Giants sack king described how Jean Strahan strode into their Montclair mansion and lit into him - as Michael Strahan's father watched.
"She comes in, looks at me and said, 'You motherf-----. You want to f--- with me? You canceled my f------ card,'" Strahan said as his nasty divorce case rolled on.
"I'll give you something to f--- with," he testified she said before stalking out.
Michael Strahan, who sparred several times with his wife's lawyer, said he was dumbfounded by the March 2005 outburst, just days before their marriage imploded.
He said he only canceled the prestigious American Express black card after Jean Strahan told him she didn't want it.
"I didn't say one word," the Big Blue star said, avoiding eye contact with his estranged wife. "It's embarrassing to get cursed out in front of your own father."
The dramatic revelation came as Michael Strahan's legal team issued a statement blasting Jean Strahan for saying he leads an "alternative lifestyle," even though she later denied meaning he is gay.
"Most of her out-of-court statements are blatantly false and made solely to attempt to tarnish Mr. Strahan's reputation," his lawyers said in a statement.
Inside the courtroom, Michael Strahan fended off more pointed questions about his free-spending ways from his wife's lawyer.
Marshall ticked off expenses like five trips to Phoenix, four-figure memberships in fancy clubs, splurges on rugs from ABC Carpet and an $800,000 townhouse near Giants Stadium.
Things got even nastier when Marshall asked Strahan why he bought a $4,500 Versailles watch - and he retorted that the timepiece was for himself.
"I'll wear it next time, if you like," he snapped.
Perhaps tiring of playing the part of affable tackling dummy, Michael Strahan aggressively hit back when Marshall questioned him about buying furnishings for his new place after the couple's acrimonious breakup.
He told Marshall he had to build a new life from scratch after leaving the century-old mansion in Montclair where he and Jean Strahan lived.
"When you're out on your own, my dad said, you have to account for everything, including the Q-Tips," he said.
Jean Strahan says she should get about $14 million under the terms of a prenuptial agreement signed before their storybook wedding in 1999. He puts the tab at half that.
