REAL Housewives star Jane Rayner has been fined after spitting in the face of a man in a coffee shop.
The TV star pleaded guilty to the assault and was fined £1,500 in Jersey.
St Helier Magistrate's Court heard how the glamorous star reportedly put her middle finger up at the man in the Jersey capital.
Centenier Paul Huelin, prosecuting, said the victim was working on his laptop inside the establishment when Rayner walked past the window.
She then stormed into the Cooper & Co coffee shop in Castle Quay and assaulted him on August 14.
He said: “She put up her middle finger. Then she entered the coffee shop and gave him verbal abuse. She deliberately spat in his face. It landed on his face and glasses.”

Jane Mary Rayner, 59, admitted assault and was slapped with the hefty penalty.
Advocate Paul Nicholls, defending, said there was ill-feeling between Rayner and the man.
He explained: “She has said previously that he intimidated [her].”
He added: “She is profoundly sorry and embarrassed by her action. It was an incident out of character.”

Relief Magistrate David Le Cornu agreed with the advocate’s request to deal with the offence with a fine.
He told Rayner: “Even if you and the victim are in some disagreement, it does not justify you going into a shop and spitting.”
The real housewife has previously praised the Channel Island for its low crime.
In an interview on ITV, she revealed her favourite thing about Jersey saying: "There is hardly any crime and the people here are very friendly."
The reality celebrity starred in the first line-up of The Real Housewives of Jersey – which run between 2020 to 2022.
The series, part of the global Housewives franchise, followed the lives of several high-profile Island businesswomen and their luxurious lifestyles.
On the show, Rayner appeared with fellow real housewives Margaret Thompson, the chief executive of Thompson estates, and brand strategist and media commentator Tessa Hartmann.
It comes as the star previously revealed her agony with digestive health issues.
