Dutch model Sharlely Kerssenberg has hit out at tennis star Boris Becker following his release from prison. Kerssenberg revealed that Becker had stopped paying child support for their son Amadeus.
Becker was sentenced to 30 months in jail after being accused of hiding his assets after declaring bankruptcy.
“Boris can be charming and loving when he wants to, but also extremely hurtful with words. A devil,” Kerssenberg told Bild according to the Daily Mail.
“Prison didn’t make Boris a better person. Boris lives in a world in which everything revolves around Boris Becker.
“It is not my fault he went to prison. He ruined his reputation all by himself.
“Boris doesn’t care whether we’re doing well or badly. We used to have an honest love.
“When I started to emancipate myself in marriage, there were arguments. Also because of Boris’s lies about his finances.”
After being released, Becker gave an interview with German broadcaster Sat1 to discuss his rough time in prison during the previous months.
“I thought I was going to lose my life in Wandsworth,” he claimed.
“Someone, a murderer I later found out, wanted my coat and he wanted money and he said he would kill me if he didn’t get it. Then in Huntercombe, another murderer said he wanted to kill me. My food tray was shaking.”
