A transsexual actress who starred in Sacha Baron Cohen’s film The Dictator was arrested after making death threats to a New York psychologist.

Victoria Beltran phoned her husband's colleague Katarzyna Sakowicz after deciding the pair were having an affair.

She allegedly threatened Ms Sakowicz saying  'I will kill you and get you fired,' according to court papers.

The Dictator features Cohen, in the role of Admiral General Aladeen, the dictator of the fictional Republic of Wadiya visiting the United States.

In the 2012 film Beltran plays one of his glamorous foot soldiers wearing a short green uniform, red beret and holding a machine gun.

The 34-year-old was charged Wednesday with aggravated harassment in Bronx court, revealed the New York Post

The drama began in January when Beltran discovered $500 charge for spa treatments at the Trump SoHo spa on the couple’s credit card statement.

She rang the hotel and found out her husband Brett Bergmann had attended the appointments with Ms Sakowicz.

The pair both work on Rikers Island - according to LinkedIn Bergmann is a Senior Mental Health Clinician in the Correctional Punitive Segregation Unit, and has worked there for over four years while Sakowicz, works as a Clinical Supervisor at Rikers Island Correctional Facility and has worked there for eight months

Beltran then rang Sakowicz and threatened her as well as sending hostile text messages.

Sakowicz vehemently denies having an affair with Bergmann.

She claims that she only became close to Bergmann after Beltran told her husband about her sex change - it is understood she underwent the transformation when she was 15.

'She was worried that, being in The Dictator,' it was going to get out that she had a sex change as a teenager,' Sakowicz told The New York Post.

'She sat him down, I’m not sure when, but that’s when he said he was done with the relationship.'

Beltran denies she only recently told her husband about operation and insists he was aware it from the beginning of their relationship.
