George Soros’ South American ex-squeeze can sue him for alleged assault and battery stemming from a bedroom brawl in 2010, the Appellate Division ruled Tuesday, upholding part of a lower court's decision.

But the panel tossed Adriana Ferreyr’s attempt to go after the billionaire hedge fund manager for infliction of emotional distress, a part of her suit that had previously been upheld by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Debra James.

In effect, the Appellate judges narrowed the focus of the case the Brazilian TV soap actress brought against Soros in 2010, when she sued him for breaking his promise to buy her a $1.9 million condo on E. 85th St. in Manhattan.

Ferreyr, a 30-year-old former child movie star familiar to Brazilian television soap opera fans, said in court papers that when Soros broke the news to her in August 2010 that he had bought the two bedroom pad for his new girlfriend, Tamiko Bolton, they got into a fight in his bedroom.

At one point, Ferreyr says, Soros slapped her in the face and grabbed her throat. When she picked up a lamp to protect herself, she says Soros grabbed it and threw it at her, causing it to break into pieces and to cut her feet.

Police were called to the home, but no one was arrested.

Judge James had allowed Ferreyr’s assault and battery claim to be litigated but Soros sought to have it tossed, noting discrepancies between her version of events and the account in the police report.
