The couple’s chaotic relationship – as well as Jordan’s illegal stock market scheme in which he stole nearly $200 million from investors – was portrayed in the wildly popular 2013 film Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan and Margot Robbie as Nadine, who was renamed Naomi for the film.
The model-therapist has become a viral TikTok star in recent months as he has revealed numerous secrets about their marriage.
She recently took to the video sharing platform to explain a deceptive trick that abusers can pull on you in a relationship.
She captioned the video: “The double standards narcissists have.”
At the beginning of the clip, she said, “Today I want to talk to you about the sneaky tactics that narcissists use when they abuse you, and it’s called double standards.”
Nadine then fired off several examples of double standards in an abusive relationship.
The first example of double standards is when your partner is allowed to have multiple affairs, but if you “so much as look at another man,” you are fiercely belittled.
“Or they’re constantly yelling at you and they’re intimidating and dominating, but you raise your voice once and guess what? You are hysterical,” she added.

“They can be open and flexible in their schedule, but they want you to consider every second of every minute of every day.
“He can point out your shortcomings and criticize you all the time, right? But the slightest thing you tell him makes him go crazy.”
