Sara Evans Denies Having a Cheatin' Heart

Sara Evans and Craig SchleskeSources involved in the nasty Sara Evans divorce case tell TMZ that Craig Schelske, Evans' estranged husband, accused her of having affairs with celebrities.

We're told while they were still living together as husband and wife, Schelske accused his wife of having affairs with country singer Kenny Chesney and other unnamed "associates in the music business." Sources also tell TMZ Schelske accused Evans of having an affair with Tony Dovolani, her partner on "Dancing With the Stars."

A rep for Evans, who did not want to be quoted by name, tells TMZ that Schelske's accusations are absurd and untrue.

In her divorce papers, Evans accused Schelske of having an affair with the couple's nanny. Evans also claims Schelske had photos of himself having sex with other women and had at least 100 nude photos of himself in a state of arousal.

As for Evan's connection with Chesney, the two singers toured together back in 2000 and 2001. Chesney was briefly married to actress Renee Zellweger in 2005. Again, Evans' rep says the two singers never had an affair. TMZ has placed calls to reps for Chesney and Dovolani for comment.

Update 7:45 p.m. ET: A rep for Kenny Chesney tells TMZ allegations are: "completely untrue. Sara was the special guest on Kenny's first headlining tour and they're friends. He would NEVER think of her like that. He's saddened by what Sara and her family are going through in this personal situation." The rep adds that if Craig truly did make these accusations Kenny is "disappointed in Craig and the media for perpetuating groundless allegations."

3. Kenny Chesney?!?! Umm... Yeah, right. Maybe Kenny is spreading that rumor to make him seem more straight.

4. Maybe if that is true that is why she wanted to make sure to file first and work on the sympathy of people.
She has caused damage to her own children by the what she accused him of in court papers. I can't imagine how she is playing with their heads as some disgruntled soon to be ex's do.
This while thing is ridiculous playing it in the media...shame on you Sara.

5. I am pretty sure like most people in the news they don't care to have there business all over the tv and internet...But when you have people digging until they find it you have to go public...Can you imagine going thru a divorce and the whole world now knows all your personal business...If this man did what she says he did then she should have the right to divorce him without everybody in her business.....I hope the kids come out alright...They are the ones that suffer for the screwed up parents.............

8. Craig Schelske is an idiot, and takes his own cuteness too seriously. She is better off without him. I feel sorry for the children. Someday they will probably say "Mom and Dad, couldn't you just be grownups?"

9. WHO REALLY CARES! Why, Why did she feel it necessary to go on public TV and spill all her dirt laundry. If he really did what she said, she is just trying to publicly humilate him at the cost of their children! Grow up and deal with it in an adult manner. PRIVATELY!!!!!!!!!! They say celeberities hate for the public to pry into their private lives, then don't open the door and let them in!!!!!!! And as far as Kenny C. and his personal pref. don't be judging anyone!

10. i dont believe that people can be so sennical, lets look in our own lives and ask ourselves if we were in Saras possition would we want people to talk about us or our friends like that. Sara is a beautiful person and a great singer, she only deserves the best in life and for people to attack her and her friends such as Kenny Chesney is completely outrageous. get a life and let her be. she is successful and a good mom. she deserves her privacy and respect. we would all want it if we were in her position.

11. let me get this straight...he's a married politician who allegedly has had an affair, is abusive, has nude photos of himself all over his computer, is a porn addict who doesn't give a damn if the kids are around, etc....she's allegedly a mentally unstable wife slinging false accusations who has had several affairs herself...

and that's right folks, they're BOTH "conservative" Republicans, all for family values....

anyone else tired of this hypocricy?

12. All Sara Evans did was explain her exit to her fans on dancing with the stars, had she NOT done that everybody would have been on her case about it. I think it was a classy thing to do. She didn't bash her husband, she actually stayed to the topics of her family and the show. As for the details of her divorce and marriage... that was all dug up by the media and made public by the media!! Anyone that has actually gone through a divorce knows that you put certain things in your divorce paper filings-it just normally doesn't get to be national news if you're the average john or jane doe. Maybe people shouldn't be so quick to criticize ,they may be unfortunate enough to go through it also.

if you were in her 'position', you would probably be on your hands and knees in front of your "dance partner".
