Disgusted by images of her husband embracing another woman, sources say Melanie Griffith has hired a private detective to determine the extent of his flirting and alleged infidelity – and her friends believe the probe will uncover more than a dozen “other” women!
The long-suffering “Working girl” star filed for divorce on June 6, just days after The ENQUIRER ran shocking photos of 53-year-old Antonio Banderas embracing a sexy dinner date on the French Riviera
while Melanie, 56, was thousands of miles away in Los Angeles.
The sexy pix were snapped while Antonio was promoting “The Expendables 3” at the Cannes Film Festival – were too much for the actress, say sources, and she decided to “throw in the towel” on her stormy 18-year marriage.
“Melanie exploded over the photos,” a close source told The ENQUIRER. “She was furious and heartsick.
“She called Antonio and shouted at him, ‘We’re through for good. i want a divorce!’” An insider says that Melanie’s friends suspect he’s “humiliated” her with at least a dozen women over the nearly two decades they’ve been together. “His behavior pushed her into hiring a private eye to determine exactly how many ‘other women’ there have been, and now she could use that information to bolster her divorce case,” added the insider.
