The naked Hillary Clinton statue that sparked a brawl at Bowling Green two weeks ago is the not the product of an unlikely alliance of artists, as claimed, but the work of a New Jersey Donald Trump supporter.

Artist Giovanni Calabrese, 49, of Ridgefield, creates oversized foam statuary for parades, theme parks and corporate promotions at Themendous, a shop he owns in Union City.

Two sources close to Calabrese pin “The Empress Has No Shame,” a bigger-than-life depiction of a shrieking, bare-breasted, cloven-hoofed Clinton, on him.

“He’s a clown,” said one. “He made this sculpture to cause a sensation, and he did. Now he’s covering his ass.”

“He definitely has gone way beyond what could be considered truthful,” the other source said. “He’s getting people to lie for him, and they are willing to do so.”

Calabrese, who promotes his business on social media and through an ongoing “reality show” online, has made no secret of his Trump crush.

“I’m voting Donald Trump, and I’m gonna let you know I’m not afraid to say it,” he shouts in a clip he posted to YouTube in July.

But brave words failed Calabrese when The Post asked about the Clinton sculpture.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he said. “What statue? I don’t even know what that is.”

Saturation coverage of the statue and its murky provenance began when it first appeared at Bowling Green on Oct. 19. A sign credited it to “Mini Master and Boogie Night Production.” A man who attempted to defend the piece from a female attacker identified himself as Anthony Scioli, 27, and was presumed to be its creator.

Not so, said a source.

“The whole thing is so disingenuous and smarmy,” the person said. “[Calabrese] got this one person, Danny, to claim responsibility, but Danny gave his friend Anthony Scioli’s name and not his own. Scioli was not even in town, and the media went and terrorized his mother.”

Scioli did not return a message seeking comment and his mother hung up when a reporter phoned.

Calabrese even had a videographer on hand to document the debut, the source said — “but she ran away crying” after the confrontation with the bystander.

On Monday, the piece popped up at Union Square, this time attended by Zachary Cedarbaum, 30, who claimed to speak for a collective of artists that created it.

“We want to show that people that come from different backgrounds, different genders, different political ideals can actually go out to the world and spread a message together,” Cedarbaum told The Post.

But that’s just a clumsy cover story Calabrese concocted to protect himself from backlash, one source said.

“This is not a group or a movement, it’s all make-believe,” the person said of statue-gate. “He doesn’t want his reputation and business affected in a bad way, but still he continues to bring it around the city. So he also doesn’t want it over.”
