Madonna Was Final Straw: Cynthia Rodriguez retains divorce lawyer

The wife of All-Star baseball player Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod), Cynthia Rodriguez has retained a divorce lawyer, who has come out swinging.

Lawyer Earle Lilly is representing Cynthia in the divorce case, which will be launched tomorrow when she files legal papers in Miami. Lilly claims Alex Rodriguez and Madonna have been having an affair “and are still together.” He says they were together after his game yesterday and together today as well.

Lilly says, “We’re not gonna lose this case.” He acknowledges a prenup exists but it’s “too early” to decide if he’ll challenge it. He says there will be a “huge settlement” in the case but “not hundreds of millions of dollars.” Lilly says A-Rod’s estate is “vast … beyond what anyone knows” (estimated by the lawyer to be a billion dollars!).

Lilly continues, “Cynthia is tremendously traumatized and devastated,” adding the legal papers he’ll file tomorrow will claim she’s the victim of “emotional abandonment.” Lilly says A-Rod has seen his six-week-old baby “once, maybe twice, but that’s it.” He says there’s no question — when the ink is dry she will be the primary custodial parent.

Madonna will not be specifically named in the divorce papers. Lilly says infidelity is a “major cause” for the divorce, but not because of any one allegation. Rather, he says, there were a series of dalliances and “Madonna was the last straw.”

Last year A-Rod was allegedly also spotted with a stripper in Toronto, Miami and Dallas in 2007.

Also Lilly says, Cynthia did not have an affair with Lenny Kravitz and that her relationship with him is “totally innocent and puristic.”
