Cuba Gooding Jr. and Claudine De Niro at a recent event
Cuba Gooding Jr.’s Miami getaway with girlfriend Claudine De Niro hit a rough patch when she was spotted berating him in front of other club-goers on Saturday night, a report said.
The pair were continuing De Niro’s birthday celebrations at Mango’s Tropical Cafe when she appeared to confront the ‘Jerry Maguire’ star at the bar and flipped out, according to TMZ, which posted video of the incident.
De Niro gets right in Gooding’s face and in a show of frustration appears to swipe over several glasses on the bar top before rushing off, TMZ said.
It’s unclear what set her off, but the actor remained calm through the entirety of the recording.
Gooding’s lawyer, Mark Heller, told the site that De Niro simply got a “little overly playful.” He couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

Saturday’s display is in stark contrast to a few days earlier when the couple were spotted cozying up to each other at the Wall Nightclub in South Beach.
“They put on a show of PDA for everybody,” a source told Page Six of their Thursday night outing.
“He only had eyes for her. He barely paid attention to the servers.”
Gooding has been accused of sexual misconduct by five women in various Manhattan bars and restaurants since 2008. He faces charges in two of the alleged attacks.
The accusations against Gooding began last June, when a 30-year-old woman accused him of grabbing her breast during a boozy night out at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge in Midtown.
Gooding was arrested for forcible touching in the case. He has maintained his innocence.
Then during a Manhattan criminal court appearance last week over the alleged incident, prosecutors revealed that the Bronx-born thespian also had been indicted in an alleged October 2018 attack involving a second woman, which Gooding also denies. He hasn’t been charged in the three other alleged incidents.
