Jennifer Lopez has been left reeling after discovering her fiance Alex Rodriguez will be hauled to court over claims of fraud, embezzlement and “serial cheating” – and if he loses, a large chunk of his $455 million will go down with him.
Making matters worse, the man suing A-Rod for $75 million over an alleged dodgy real estate deal is Constantine Scurtis – the brother of Alex’s ex-wife Cynthia, who has been at loggerheads with J.Lo since the relationship went public.
If Constantine wins his case in the Miami civil courts, it paves the way for a criminal investigation – and given the claims against the New York Yankees legend include allegations of tax fraud, racketeering, interstate wire fraud, mail fraud and insurance fraud, he may face up to 30 years in prison if found guilty.
“It’s a living nightmare for Jennifer,” says a source. “One minute she was planning her dream, no-expenses-spared wedding to a multimillionaire sports star and being treated like a princess forever, the next her world has turned upside down.
This war with Cynthia’s family has been hanging over their heads throughout their relationship, and these new court documents have reignited everything.”
