Madonna And Alex Rodriguez Sex Tape Scandal
A sleazy cameraman is trying to flog a tape he alleges shows the singer romping with US baseball hunk Alex Rodriguez.
He is demanding a fortune for the footage he claims was shot with a hidden camera in an apartment allegedly used by the pair for secret afternoon trysts.
Last night Madonna’s lawyers said they were “aware” of the lensman’s claims but were not commenting.
Legal experts said there was no firm evidence the video existed.
But the cameraman’s claims could not have come at a worse time for pop queen Madonna, 49.
She has been plagued by rumours that she is having an affair with Rodriguez, nicknamed A-Rod, and that her marriage to British movie director Guy Ritchie is on the rocks.
The singer, who has publicly denied any rift, has agreed to support her husband at the London premiere of his film Rock Rolla. And she plans to be with Guy for his 40th birthday on September 10.
But pals claim the shows of togetherness are little more than a publicity stunt and allege the couple have already divided up some of their assets.
The cameraman’s claims of a tape are set to heap more pressure on the pair.
In a series of emails fired off to media outlets, he alleged the footage was shot two months ago in an apartment owned by a pal of Madonna she knows through her devotion to the Kabbalah religion.
The video man – who is also a friend of the apartment owner – claimed he found out and secretly installed a hidden camera in the living room with the lens pointed at the sofa.
He alleged the footage he recorded showed the pop superstar romping with New York Yankees ace A-Rod.
But legal experts say if his claims are true the lensman could face prosecution for voyeurism and burglary. One said: “If footage was obtained in this way it would be an outrageous invasion of privacy.
“But more than that he would not have had his friend’s consent to install the camera and must have entered the apartment without approval to hide it. That is burglary.
“He would be prima facie guilty of voyeurism. Instead of making a million he’d be going to jail for a few years.
“Even if the video existed it would probably be seized by the courts.’’
Madonna and husband Guy were spotted together in New York last week.
She starts her Sticky And Sweet tour in Cardiff on August 23 and has rearranged her schedule to attend Guy’s premiere and his Irish-themed birthday bash.
She insists that she is just a friend of A-Rod, who is 33 next week, and has been helping him look for an apartment in New York.
