Former Mets Ex-Wife Suing Him For Cheating on Her Bisexually

NY Post- The ex-wife of Art Shamsky claims the Mets legend gave her a sexually transmitted disease after repeatedly cheating on her with both men and women. In a sordid lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Kim Shamsky says that during their 13-year marriage the famed outfielder and first baseman "engaged in acts of adultery with both men and women," without her knowledge. His romps included "acts of 'unprotected' sexual and deviate sexual intercourse," according to the suit. The court papers state that Kim, suspecting her hubby was fooling around, submitted to a number of medical tests. After one examination, she was informed by her doctor she had contracted the human papilloma virus (HPV). Medical experts say HPV can cause problems such as genital warts and cervical cancer. The suit claims Shamsky continued to have sex with her although he "knew that an individual or individuals with whom he had engaged in sexual relations had contracted HPV or that he had contracted HPV." Kim, who says she suffered "serious physiological and emotional injury," is asking for $11 million in damages. Art's lawyer, Pat Crispo, dismissed the entire lawsuit as "frivolous" and insisted Shamsky is free of sexual disease. "This is the act of a very angry ex-wife who has maligned him in the press," Crispo told Page Six. "He will be vindicated in the courts." Shamsky, 67, was with the Mets from 1968 to 1971 and batted .300 during the team's 1969 world championship season. He also played with the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs and Oakland A's, and did play-by-play and color commentary for the Mets and hosted a talk show on WFAN.
 
God, I have had it up to here with these women who marry famous men, take avantage of all the privileges that come with it, live in luxury, then refuse to take the bad with the good.  Cry me a river, Kim.  You married Art friggin' Shamsky.  What did you expect would happen?  He was with the '69 Miracle Mets for godsakes.  Did you think women and men everywhere wouldn't be trying to get sexed up by him?  Are the rest of us supposed to believe you didn't marry him because of who he is?  You could've fallen in love with some nobody, but you didn't.  You married a legend.  I bet you weren't bitching about genital warts back when you were getting into the best shows, clubs and restaurants in the city because you were Mrs. Art Shamsky.  You're like Kay marrying Michael Corelone then whining about him being a mobster.  You married a former Mets announcer and WFAN talk show host, and you've got expect he's going to be pulling more ass than a public toilet.  That's the price of fame. Pay it and shut up.
