Gossip: Erin Barry
Barry insists that she and Tony Parker never had an affair.
Erin Barry says she didn’t cause the breakup of Tony Parker and Eva Longoria’s marriage. The soon-to-be ex-wife of Parker’s former San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry posted a statement on Facebook this week that, despite reports to the contrary, she and Parker never had an affair. “Unfortunately, because our divorces are occurring at the same time, great speculation has been cast on our friendship,” wrote Barry. “To assume we had an affair is completely misguided.” Reports have claimed that Longoria called it quits on the marriage after she found out that Parker had sent hundreds of “sexting” messages to Barry.
