Alex Rodriguez’s wife blew 100k in Paris before filing for divorce

[mrs.v]

Alex Rodriguez’s annoyed wife Cynthia did jet off to Paris, but maybe it had more to do with spending her estranged husband’s money than meeting with her rumored lover, rocker Lenny Kravitz. The NY Daily News reports that she took off to the French city, paying for first class tickets for herself, two friends and their daughter. Once there she had spa treatments, ate at exclusive restaurants, and had a grand time all on her husband’s credit card. She’s also hired four different lawyers and Alex’s legal team claims she’s deliberately keeping him from his two daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, 11 weeks.

Spurned spouse Cynthia Rodriguez used the Yankee slugger’s credit card to the tune of $100,000 to punish him for a dalliance with Madonna that both he and the Material Girl deny, an A-Rod pal said.
“She’s been spending wildly,” the friend said. “She spent close to $100,000 on her jaunt to Paris.”
Cynthia flew the godparents of her daughters, Dodd and Sabina Romero, and their older daughter, first-class to the City of Light, the friend said.
There, Cynthia “had spa treatments, she went to the best restaurants,” the A-Rod friend said. “She originally was going to head to Spain, where Lenny Kravitz was touring.”
In addition to embarrassing Rodriguez and feeding false rumors that she and the rocker were an item, Cynthia gave A-Rod a taste of the gouging to come, the friend said.
“She needs four lawyers in two different states?” asked the friend. “That’s not the dream team, it’s the greed team.”
Also, the pal said, Cynthia has deliberately kept A-Rod from his daughters while tarring him as an absentee father.
“Alex desperately wanted to see his children while she was in Paris,” the friend said. “She blocked him. She said, ‘You cannot see them.’”

[From NY Daily News]
The News notes that A-Rod’s legal team is releasing this information in response to the many stories from Cynthia’s side about his questionable relationship with pop star Madonna. Yesterday her lawyer clarified an earlier statement and Alex’s alledged infidelity, calling his dalliance with Madonna” an affair of the heart” and not “sexual infidelity.” It sounds like A-Rod was doing some late night Kabbalah study at Madonna’s place. His former trainer called Rodriguez “brainwashed” by the singer, and said that he got all wistful and faraway whenever her songs were playing.
The Daily News had another story yesterday that revealed the lengths to which Madonna and Rodriguez went to keep their “friendship” secret. They claim that he frequently took the back service elevator at Madonna’s apartment complex - which led straight to her bedroom. Madonna has denied an affair with Rodriguez, and blamed the media and its gullible consumers for believing the reports about their affair. TMZ claims that she has timed the stories about the trouble in her seven year marriage and is postponing her divorce for maximum press coverage in advance of her European tour later this summer.

why do people bother getting married?

[suede]

They're married it's his credit card but it's still their money.

[Bellatheball]

Ah hell, I'd do the same thing if I had access to megamillions and I knew my husband was spending time with Esther.

Haha. Usually I'd hate this bitch but knowing that its A-Rod, and how he's such a pretentious philanderer, I just find it funny. He kind of deserves what he gets, he needs to learn to keep it in his pants. I don't care what others say, how he's so great (because he's a baseball player) and she's so awful (and must be a gold-digging bitch, because she married their beloved baseball player), he's a known cheat and he was very brazen about it. If he didn't want a wife at home, he shouldn't have gotten married. Since he did, he should have learned to keep it in his pants - or at the very least, be discreet. He doesn't deserve any of my sympathy.

Wow, she held back. I would've spent until the credit cards got denied! I hope she buries him.

her family is wealthy...not Arod wealthy, but wealthy...she's not some girl that didn't have two cents before she met the rich hubby.....

I don't see her as a gold digger, but she definitely is a woman scorned.....and if she wants to hit the cheating prick in his wallet on one last shopping binge then go for it...spend away

January is right, he didn't have to marry if he wanted to play the field, and he went through the motions of a very public reconcilliation after he was busted with the stripper....

BTW...Is he wearing pink lip gloss in the photo?

Then maybe she wouldn't mind making a payment or two on the cards since it is their money.

You sure about that? She was a school teacher in Florida when they met years ago. I believe she absolutely knew what she was getting herself into when she married him. She dated him for a long time, even when he was here in Seattle and he had a different gal with him every night. I don't think she ever thought it would be so public like it is in NYC. I'd save face and leave him too.

I was in love with Alex when he first became a Mariner. He was smokin' hot. Now all these pics I see of him truly repulse me. He's lost his mojo big time.

The daughter of a rich family can be a school teacher.......John McCain's wife was a schoolteacher too, when you have family money behind you, you don't have to consider salary when choosing a career

Her parents are definitely wealthy- not Arod wealthy as I noted, but they have some jake, I work with someone that grew up with her in Coconut Grove, they went to school together

It's totally public in NY, that's what's been so hard for them i would guess, pictures on the front of every newspaper, newscast leading off with this story....It's even been hard on his playing, being in a major market like NY...he was a better player before in a less high pressure city...

In NY his nickname is 'Mr. April'......a play on Reggie Jackson's nickname

Remember when she wore that klassy "Fuck you" tank top to one of his games?

Madonna is exactly what he deserves.....he can fuck that old mummy while they both wear Kabbalah red strings

^ Omg, now that is a BAD mental picture.
Thanks, Witch.

And can we agree at some point that these women, aware of the reputations that famous athletes have, need to be more realistic about what they are getting into and stop expecting that they are going to be the exception to the rule? Can we agree they need to stop being so stunned when they find out the playa they married is a playa? He did want a wife at home, but he also wanted his ass on the side and many of these men expect their wives to inherently understand that as part of the package. Any woman who marries a sports superstar and expects otherwise is a straight up fool. It's like being disappointed when you pick up a scorpion and it stings you.

Good point. Somehow I doubt she will see the bills as her responsibility too.
