L.A. Dodgers Owner: Jamie Never Wanted the Team
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."

L.A. Dodgers Owner: Jamie's Claim is Ridiculous
Frank McCourt is scoffing at his estranged wife's claim that he somehow defrauded her by inserting a document into an agreement which strips her of ownership of the L.A. Dodgers.
As TMZ first reported, Jamie claims Frank defrauded her by inserting a bogus document in an agreement -- making it seem as though she gave up her 50% ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Frank's lawyer, Steve Susman, tells TMZ ... Jamie McCourt's claim is absurd.
According to Susman, it's all an innocent, clerical mistake made by a lawyer named Lawrence Silverstein, the guy who drafted the agreement. Susman says there were 6 copies of the agreement which intended to give Frank the full ownership of the Dodgers. But Susman says Silverstein's secretary mistyped 3 of the Exhibits, which mistakenly said Jamie was retaining her interest in the team.
Susman says shortly after Frank and Jamie signed the agreement, Silverstein realized his mistake and simply put the correct exhibit in the signed agreement, and Frank and his current lawyers didn't even find out about it until last month.
Susman tells TMZ ... Jamie's claim of fraud is "desperate" and an attempt to use court documents as a press release.

L.A. Dodgers Wife: Frank McCourt Committed Fraud
Fired Los Angeles Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt claims Frank McCourt and his lawyer, Lawrence Silverstein, fraudulently altered documents in an effort to strip her of the ownership of the team ... this according to new court documents obtained by TMZ.
Frank claims in 2004, when they bought the Dodgers, Jamie signed over complete ownership of the team to him. In their bitter divorce case, Frank has submitted an agreement signed by Jamie, which includes an "Exhibit" that gives him complete ownership of the Dodgers.
But in new legal papers filed today by Dennis Wasser, Jamie's lawyer ... Wasser claims there was another "Exhibit" that was the final word on ownership of the Dodgers, which preserved Jamie's rights to the team.
Wasser now says, after the document was signed, Frank and his lawyer pulled a switcheroo, by substituting the old "Exhibit" for the new one -- thereby cutting Jamie out.
Wasser says in his new legal docs ... Jamie is the victim of a "fraudulently altered document."
