![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt claims his wife, Jamie McCourt, diabolically tried to strong-arm him into showing his love by giving her a piece of the team -- at the same time she was secretly consulting divorce lawyers.
In Frank's legal brief, obtained by TMZ, the Dodgers owner maintains his wife signed over her interest in the team, in return for getting sole ownership of more than $100 million in homes.
Frank claims in legal papers Jamie never wanted to buy the Dodgers in the first place. According to Frank, Jamie felt buying the team in 2004 was a "risky business venture," because the Dodgers had been losing millions and the deal was insanely leveraged.
Frank says Jamie -- a lawyer who has drafted marital agreements herself -- was more than happy to sign the marital property agreement that gave Frank the team and gave her all the homes.
But fast forward to 2008 ... the Dodgers became profitable while the value of real estate began plummeting. According to the docs, Jamie came to Frank with a proposal: "If we're going to be life partners, we're going to be business partners." Frank says Jamie wanted him to give her half interest in the Dodgers but she would keep most of the homes herself. Frank smelled a rat and said no.
Frank claims Jamie was stricken with celebrity-itus and wanted a piece of the team, calling it "her ticket to become the mayor of Los Angeles, the Governor of California, and maybe even the President of the United States. To create the fairytale of 'Brand Jamie,' she recognized she had to rewrite history."

If it walks like a man and talks like a man... just sayin'.
she signed something then changed her mind, say it ain't so...
They are both grade-A douchebags. Hope this goes on forever and they lose everything in lawyer's fees.
My heart aches for these rich people and their problems. Really. I feel terrible for them both. It's making me ill just thinking about their suffering. :(
How unfair that they should be made to suffer like this!! Can't someone help them out??!!!! Poor Frank and Jamie. How can this world go on with these two wonderful human being suffering so much?
SOB!!!
She's a harpy no talent whore who had nothing to do with the success of the Dodgers. I hope she dies and goes to a painfull hell where talentless whores are put in their place.
He is simply not believable. She's no winner either.
I just have great difficulty believing anything that comes out of his mouth. It's all contrived and false.
I really don't believe a word he says especially after he tried to say the wrong exhibit got attached to the deal she signed. I just want to see these two pay some income taxes.
I can't believe anyone would actually marry this money-hungry skank. She's so fugly! She was rode hard and put up wet decades ago!!!
How do you spell gold digger?? She is typical of the people that lead this country as mayor/governor/president.
She sounds like your typical american gold-digger, feels like they are entitled to whatever they want even if they didn't help to earn it. Just because you spread your legs doesn't mean you deserve part ownership. I hope this whore ends up losing out on the team and he gets all the house's back too.
There's an easy way for them to stop fighting over money. Give it all to me. I'll put it to much better use than either of them would.
