Tony Parker Sues Over Cheating Claims
December 20, 2007
Tony Parker is suing X-17 for starting the rumor that he had been cheating on his wife Eva Longoria with French model Alexandra Paressant. He is seeking at least $40 million, damn!!
The San Antonio Spurs star sued X17online.com on Wednesday in Superior Court, alleging it posted a series of “false and defamatory” stories claiming Parker cheated on his wife, actress Eva Longoria. He’s seeking at least $40 million in damages.
“This is false. It never happened. And X17 had to know that the story was false, or, at the very least, it had to have entertained serious doubts about the credibility of its supposed source,” the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit also alleged that X17 never contacted Parker, Longoria or their representatives before running the stories, and refused to retract them after being told the claims were false.
“No one from X17 attempted to contact Mr. Henry, who … would have told them in no uncertain terms that this woman was not at the wedding,” the lawsuit said, adding that Parker has never met anyone named Alexandra Paressant.
“If this woman exists, he has no way of knowing whether she is one of the many fans who have, from time to time, managed to obtain his cell phone number and called or left messages or who may have engaged him in conversation.”
Parker is seeking damages for defamation and invasion of privacy. The lawsuit seeks a court injunction ordering X17 to stop publishing the stories.
