'Bachelor' Contestant Michelle Money: I Had Affair With Married NBA Star Carlos Boozer


First Posted: 01/26/11 08:08 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:25 PM ET

Michelle Money, a 30-year-old hair stylist from Salt Lake City, Utah, has quickly brought the crazy to the 'Bachelor' house this season. She recently woke up with a mysterious black eye and threatened to replicate her injury on Bachelor Brad if he didn't grant her a one-on-one date. (He did, and it went well.)

Now Michelle has revealed to Life & Style that she once had an affair with NBA star Carlos Boozer, before he split from his wife.

Michelle has a few acting credits, including a role in 2008 TV death row drama, on her imdb page.

Life & Style's press release follows:

Life & Style can exclusively reveal that Bachelor contestant Michelle Money, had an affair with NBA star Carlos Boozer - while he was married. Opening up about the scandal for the first time, Michelle tells Life & Style, "Yes, I was in a relationship with Carlos while he was still married. What I did was wrong."

Michelle, actress and single mother to 5-year-old daughter Brielle, has quickly established herself as one of the most controversial contestant's the show has ever seen. In her quest to win Brad Womack's heart, her aggressive antics - like storming off the set and forcibly dragging Brad away from other women - have angered and upset many of her fellow housemates. But off-camera, her personal life is even more shocking.

When Michelle first met Carlos, she was a recent divorcee living in Salt Lake City, and he was a star forward on the Utah Jazz. Michelle implies that Carlos led her to believe he had separated - though he didn't file for divorce until March 2009, while he and Michelle were involved. Michelle tells Life & Style she regrets any part she played in Carlos' split from wife Cece. "I should never have been so naive to assume what I was told was true," Michelle says now. "I'm not trying to shy away from the fact that he was still married. I don't put that on Carlos. I don't put that on anyone but myself. I feel terrible for Cece for that pain she's had to go through and that I am a part of it."

Despite Carlos' split with his wife, he and Michelle ended things in June 2009. "All I can do," Michelle says, "is try to do better with my life. I screwed up. But I can only try to do the best I can."

She looks like the typical suburban porn wanna-be who would rat on a typical NBA star for fame.

She says feels bad for causing his wife pain while opening the wound again for her own gain. I love that there are crickets coming from his side.

why do men like Carlos think they must fool around with a so-called "hot" woman to feel good about himself? Even when it probably made him lose his comfortable life. And now most of us think so lowly about him. Don't any of those sports guys have any integrity? seriously!

Great, another "celebrity" whose only talent is between her legs.

Aren't there already like 10 or 20 Kardashians filling this important role in America's post-industrial, post-educational culture and economy?

"Michelle Money" is the perfect name for a gold digger. Or a porn star.

I hope this means this trash is OFF the show! (my mother watches it) I refuse to borea** myself with cheap women throwing themselves at a man for fame or what ever their agenda is.

This isn't entertainment, its mocking the sanctity of LOVE between two adults.
