Tatyana Remley, a splashy blonde who would not have looked out of place on “Real Housewives of Orange County,” walked into the Solana Beach, Calif., Starbucks and turned heads.
Among a well-dressed clientele, the 5-foot-11, 125-lb 43-year-old wore a tank-top and sweat-shorts. Her companion was a thuggish-looking dude who sported sunglasses, a sideways hat and baggy shorts.
“You could tell something was up,” a worker there told The Post, revealing new details in a scandal that has shocked and entranced SoCal society and which encompasses claims of elite orgies, guns, and a threat taken straight from “The Godfather.”
“She might have been trying to achieve a sexual look, but I would not call her sexy,” the worker added. “She looked like she was strung out on something.”
And that was before anyone in the Starbucks knew Remley had arrived to discuss paying her companion $2 million to murder her husband Mark Remley.
They each ordered a mango dragon-fruit refresher and headed to a table on the rear patio. After about 10 minutes, the “thug” went to the restroom, two cop cars pulled up and four San Diego police officers beelined to the patio.
“They rushed back there, had her handcuffed and started going through her bag,” the worker recalled. “The officers were efficient and walked her to a cruiser. It took off. But the thuggish guy was still in the bathroom.”
The worker, slightly panicked by the “thug” being left behind, went outside to notify the pair of remaining police officers.
“One of them told me, ‘Don’t worry; he’s with us; that’s all I can tell you,’” the worker recounted. “Then an SUV with blackened windows pulled up and the thuggish guy went into it. He was an undercover cop.”
This arrest was the final unraveling in a tumultuous and allegedly violent 12-year marriage between Tatyana, said to be a compulsively sexual Russian bombshell, and her husband Mark who had inherited $26 million from his parents.
How they first met is unclear. Their relationship featured a mélange of fast cars, alleged drug use, guns and a blown fortune — and was now in splitsville.
This arrest was the final unraveling in a tumultuous and allegedly violent 12-year marriage between Tatyana, said to be a compulsively sexual Russian bombshell, and her husband Mark who had inherited $26 million from his parents.
Mark reportedly bankrolled iffy business ventures that Tatyana wanted to get going. Among them: a performing horse show called Valitar (likened to Cirque du Soleil with horses), a cycling studio called Rhythm and Power, and a polo team. All are now kaput.
In terms of what Mark actually did to earn money, it seems vague. LinkedIn describes his occupation as “president.”
His father, according to multiple sources, found success in the world of technology and is said to have held valuable patents, some of which wound up with Mark. The couple shared a $5.3 million home in tony Del Mar, Calif., beside the Del Mar Polo Fields.
Clearly, money did not buy happiness for 57-year-old Mark, who, according to a pal, “looked 77” in the wake of his wife allegedly trying to have him murdered.
“Their lifestyle was reckless; it was toxic,” a friend of Tatyana’s told The Post. “They were both having sexual relationships with all kinds of other people. There were prostitutes, strippers, sex clubs.”
Indeed, in the first episode of the2017 Showtime series, “Naked SNCTM,” about the elite sex club, Mark and Tatyana Remley can be seen hanging out with fellow swingers. Staring into the camera, Tatyana cooed, “I’m all about pushing limits…”
Later, Mark said, “Sex is probably the biggest part of our lives.”
