Celebrity Justice
Sara Evans' Husband Lashes Out

Sara Evans' husband says his wife cheated on him and he found out the day before she filed for divorce.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, Craig Schelske claims the day before Sara filed divorce papers, he "discovered Wife's intimate relationship with another man not her husband and an argument ensued between the parties."

Sources connected with the case tell TMZ that while they were together Schelske accused his wife of having an affair with Tony Dovolani, her "Dancing with the Stars" partner. Evans and Dovolani have both said the claim is bogus.

In his legal papers, Schelske also denies having a penchant for porn. He says, however, that on one occasion, both he and his wife "were watching adult entertainment together when their oldest child, whom they believed to be secure and asleep, entered their room...."

Schelske denies Evans' allegation that he was unfaithful during the marriage and denies there were "any sexual photographs of himself with any other women as there are no authentic photographs of husband unclothed with any sexual partner or alone except as taken by Wife or with Wife on the single occasion in which both parties participated." Schelske says he "regrets the incident but would state and show that Husband and Wife were acting as two consenting adults..."

Schelske seems to be answering Evans' claim that there are nude pictures of him in a state of arousal. Schelske appears to be conceding photos do indeed exist, but the photographer is Evans herself.

Schelske's allegations come exactly one week after Evans filed explosive divorce papers accusing him 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.

78. Who GIVES a crap? Wow...Is she somebody or something...she is on a grade
B dance show - and this is celebrity ? Like Kristin Cavallari because she dated
Nick Lachey for like 58 seconds?and Paris because she was born a "Hitlon"
and didn't work her way through the business of hospitality like her ancestors and "earned" it?
I love good gossip and to dish - but all the media this girl has gotten - she must have an awesome PR person or agency behind her - her 15 mintues were up
like 17 minutes ago...at least.

79. I hope HE has some nude pix of Sara. She certainly looks better than the one she accuses him of being with. She could have been setting this all up as far back as her recent "While U Were Cheatin" song.

80. With all due respect, I don't know why they don't take this to somewhere a little more private like an attorney's office, either his or her home, etc. I really don't understand why some people air their dirty linen out in public. I'm not taking sides especially since I don't know all the facts, but please, please remember the children who are part of this.

83. They are going through really tough times right now. Who of any of us are perfect ? NONE !!!!! Some of the comments & name calling on this board are truly ignorant & moronic. Grow up and try to act like adults & show at least some respect for their kids. They are having it the roughest right now. Life is too short to live it with a "Deliverance", Trailer Trash Mentality !!! Grow Up People !!!

84. I believe that one upon a time, before Sara E. became a big star, that this couple loved each other. But over time as she was earning tons and tons of money and he was the stay at home dad, they fell out of love (as 50% of most couples do).
Sara Evans wanted out of the marriage and realized that she stands to lose a lot of money, and so she concocted an elaborate story to trash her husband and lessen the blow on her wallet. Plus, it will come out that she was in on the "adult pictures" and she was afraid that her wholesome image will be tarnished.

86. It's so funny that society is all about sex. People are quick to judge a man wrong. I say, let the woman play with themselves, hang out and have kids by themselves. I wonder who might be at fault. Freedom comes with responsibilties and it cut both ways. Sex is wonderful allright, and both sexes need to be held responsible. Man is never entirely the problem. It high time that female/woman actually take responsibilties for their own actions. Otherwise, leave men alone...hang arround your female/woman friends and do want you do. Blame game

87. I dunno Renee since when is there such a thing as private when your famous......I think she did the best thing and came right out with it.....instead of having the media 2nd guess or make things up......and yes this is only my points....and god bless america we can all have our own thoughts.....and again I ask........why is she a stupid b***** ? because she let the world know before the media could play a game with it? If her son walked in on him watching porn......who caused the kids more pain?

88. Who knows who to believe. The ones who will suffer as in most divorces will be the kids. Its a shame.

89. I think she got caught up in the show . If all these thing she is saying were true why did she wait until now to file.If I thought that my husband was cheating I would already file and put him out of the house. What are the ages of her kids they may know more thsn she things the way kids are now days. Because they are the one that see and hear ever thing that goes on, Besides all the money can't always buy your kids.

90. I agree with #9 No one can honestly take sides ...only the two of them really know what went on in that relationship...we are all human and we do make mistakes, male and female, and we have no call to judge anyone else; but the children are the ones who always suffer for them. I also agree with # 10...Fame is very costly.
