The Trade Offs

[Blind Gossip] You might think that this wife of a professional athlete made a huge mistake by threatening to divorce him and then never following through.

Maybe not.

He begged her not to divorce him and then did an agreement where he has to pay her $1M in cash every time time he cheats on her. She has a separate bank account for this and she has been racking up the payments. It’s a little embarrassing when the press catches him but it is what it is.

If she divorced him, she would ostensibly get half of their considerable fortune, but she would lose the fame and “brand” that comes with being part of a famous couple. With the payment plan, she continues to benefit as a couple while earning more than she would if she had two jobs.

Guess she considers the trade offs among marriage, dignity, fame, and money a fair one?

In the meantime, her husband continues to act like a dog. Yes, he cheated on her again this month.

    I can only think of the Beckham’s because of “brand” Beckham, and because Victoria has had two careers: two jobs.

    I personally would never sacrifice my self worth like that. I’d rather be separated than take money because my husband stepped out on me. How humiliating! It must be terrible for the kids too. They are learning that a dysfunctional relationship is normal.

    Assuming it’s about David and Victoria Beckham based on the “brand” clue…

    Beckham and Vicks?

    By putting a price on infidelity, you are really putting a price on how much money he is willing to lose to not be with you just for a night. So humiliating. Just do the open marriage thing on both parts or end it. Hollywood relationships……

    Lala and Melo at it again, I see? Sounds like ol boy needs to give up on those sea legs before he bankrupts himself. Lol.

    The Rooneys

    No. I understand she loves him but he obviously doesn’t give a hoot about her as he’s done it so many times now allegedly.

    Kobe Bryant. They just had a baby this month so the “yes he cheated this month” makes sense.

    The picture shows 4 women and they just had their 4th daughter. Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce in 2011 and then they reconciled. She gets money every time he cheats.

    The Beckhams.
    No, I would not allow myself to be humiliated. Plus…I wouldn’t want to catch anything like herpes, or worse.

    LaLa Anthony and Carmelo. The girls in the picture look like the picture of the butt- out girl on the yacht he was phographed with looking cozy

    Lala and Carmelo. Caught cheating on her BIRTHDAY.

    Idk how much money is worth my dignity… but apparently hers is a lot

    Optional: in my heart I want to say no I wouldn’t, but my bank account is screaming yessss please

    LaLa & Carmelo Anthony

    At a certain point there isn’t enough money in the world to compensate for a broken heart, or embarrassment. Collect a couple millions & move on with the newfound riches

    Hmmmm…Tom Brady & Gisele? My first thought was Becks but I can’t see him begging VB to stay (probably exactly the opposite) & paying her $1 million each time he cheats! Then thought Wayne Rooney but there again, I can’t see him begging Colleen to stay after so many cheats. Brady might with Giselle because she is still very famous as an ex-model & ups his brand value & probably his ego via his pride in nabbing her. Plus since she has retired, she no longer works.

    Optnl: Nope!

      This.

      My first thought was Rooney but he’d be bankrupt by now and I agree that he wouldn’t beg her to stay.

    Carmelo and Lala Anthony

    No I wouldn’t do that deal. He’s getting off too easy.

  43. nikkimermaid says

    Lala Anthony? I cant’ see that though because she has a great acting career in her own right. Hmmmm…

  44. anarchistlibrarian says

    omg – i’m absolutely awful at guessing, but with the mention of “brand”, i’m thinking posh and becks…?😬

  46. zappy2050 says

    Lala Anthony. She looks pathetic but a lot of these athletes’ wives put up with this stuff. Sad.

  47. heartcouture says

    Could be any of them. I just saw that Carmelo Anthony cheated on Lala again, so I’ll guess them.

    Khloe K/Tristan
    Op- Absolutely not! There is no price tag on my dignity and self respect.

  53. LizardQueen says

    Carmelo and LaLa Anthony? Only because he was just allegedly busted on a yacht with some chick not his wife.

    Yes… I would til it hit 10 million. With his record that would be easily racked up in mere few months. But no more marital relarions though. Ew.

    LaLa Anthony

    If this works for them then it is their business and no one else’s.
