A Pablo Picasso painting lived out a famous action movie scene when it was held at knifepoint by a spurned lover. Things got heated between Jason Flom, a record executive who's signed Katy Perry and Lorde, and the woman he was dating, Russian actress Ania Spiering, when she decided to take the painting hostage, Page Six reports.
Flom and Spiering got together while the record executive was divorcing his wife. Safe to say that this relationship, which lasted about a year, didn't go the distance either due to Spiering's antics. "This girl once held a Picasso at knifepoint [during an argument with Jason]," a source tells Page Six. "He was on vacation in Aspen with his kids ... when she called and video-ed herself in Jason’s Manhattan apartment, holding the painting. Jason’s doorman had to stop her."
No word on what Picasso painting almost saw its end, but it is allegedly a "priceless" piece, according to Page Six.
