Fani Willis, accused of affair with Trump prosecutor, vowed to not date staff in 2020

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is accused of having a clandestine relationship with the special prosecutor she hired to bring charges against former President Donald Trump in his Georgia election interference case, promised in a 2020 interview that she would not sleep with her staffers.

Willis is under fire for allegedly having a secret relationship with Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as a special prosecutor in the high-profile case in November 2021 for a hefty salary — a day before he filed for divorce from his wife.

“I will certainly not be choosing to date people that work under me,” Willis said during an April 2020 appearance on “The Patricia Crayton Show” while campaigning for district attorney.

“We are at a place in society where things happen in people’s relationships — husbands and wives sometimes, there are outside relationships. I don’t think that that’s what the community is concerned about. Although there might be a moral breaking in that,” she continued.

“I think that what citizens are really, really concerned about is if you chose to have inappropriate contact with employees,” she continued.

“There’s nothing I can say on it other than that it is distracting, it is certainly inappropriate for the No. 1 law officer in this state, and it really really saddens me,” she said.

Willis added it would be “very unfortunate if the taxpayers of this community have to pay for any of those lawsuits.”

Willis and Wade were first accused of having an “improper” relationship in a motion filed last week by Michael Roman, one of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in Willis’ Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act probe.

Roman’s filing accused Wade — a private attorney with Atlanta-based Wade & Campbell — of using some of the nearly $654,000 in legal fees he was paid by the DA’s Office to take Willis on lavish trips. 

He argued the criminal charges should be dismissed against him as Willis “violated laws regulating the use of public monies, suffer from irreparable conflicts of interest, and have violated their oaths of office under the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct.”

Willis is also accused of hiring Wade despite him not being properly qualified or experienced in handling criminal matters.

Wade’s ex-wife, Joycelyn Wade, alleged in a filing with the Cobb County Superior Court on Friday that he tried to have their divorce records sealed immediately after he was hired by Willis’ office to keep the breakup under wraps.

She alleged that her former husband never told her that he was working for Willis on the Trump case — or the exorbitant amount of money he was making from the gig. She said he was left with “little means of financial support” while joining the DA on trips to California, Florida and the Caribbean.

On Thursday, attorneys for Willis filed a motion to get her out of sitting for a Jan. 23 deposition in the Wade divorce case, claiming she wouldn’t be able to offer relevant testimony since their marriage essentially ended in 2017, when Jocylyn allegedly cheated on Nathan.

Jocylyn’s legal team responded by saying that Willis’ assertion of the affair was false, and argued that she “was experiencing a profound sense of disconnection in her marriage” due to earlier incidents of infidelity by Nathan Wade.

Sources told The Post the pair had been working together since at least 2019.

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners also said Friday it had launched a probe into whether Willis misused county funds and “accepted valuable gifts and personal benefits” from Wade. The Atlanta DA has until Feb. 2 to respond.

Wade, meanwhile, was back in court today for a hearing on the Georgia election interference case.

Country club wife names tennis pro mistress in letter to members

She’s making quite a racket.

A woman who lives in the ultra-wealthy, celeb-studded Sherwood Country Club has sent a letter to all her neighbors warning them about a dangerous presence in their midst — a horny tennis pro.

The unidentified homeowner in a gated community that’s attached to the club — which is just north of Los Angeles and has claimed Mel Gibson, Caitlyn Jenner, Wayne Gretzky, Jack Nicholson, Will Smith, Sylvester Stallone and Justin Timberlake as members — wrote in the message seen by Page Six, “To my horror, I recently found out my husband had been romantically involved with one of our tennis club employees.”

The, er, highly strung woman gave the alleged mistress’ first name and the first letter of her last name, before adding, “I’m letting our community of respectable families and members of this HOME WRECKER who’s working among us.”

Will Smith is among the A-List members of the club, as are Justin Timberlake, Jack Nicholson, Mel Gibson and Caitlyn Jenner.

She also complains that she has to see the Whore of Wimbledon at the local pub “and see her smug smile.”

“I’m trying hard to avoid her; keep her away from my children, but she’s there,” she seethes. “She has no respect for this community. I never expected this to happen. We engage and are friendly to employees that work here and this is what happened to our family.”

Speaking of which, she says, “My husband and I are working this out privately but I couldn’t remain silent.”

A source in the community tells Page Six the ritzy club is abuzz about the letter, while another source who works at the club says that management is aware of the matter and has launched an investigation — but so far has little information.

“We chose this community for many good and healthy reasons but it’s been a nightmare. I have to see her in an exclusive club I belong to,” the scorned wife writes.

“I’m so sad this happened in my own paradise.”

The club has a Jack Nicklaus-designed PGA course. Tiger Woods hosted his own tournament, the Hero World Challenge, there for several years, and Greg Norman’s event, the Shark Shootout, has also been held at the club.

We hope a similar note has gone around the tennis club’s staff room warning that there’s an unfaithful husband on the loose with a wife who has a printer and isn’t afraid to use it.

Racquet sports are quite the aphrodisiac, it seems. In 2021, we published a story about Barstool Sports CEO leaving her husband for her squash coach at a Connecticut country club.

Shein’s extreme jean thong ‘shorts’ raise eyebrows

She wore itsy bitsy teeny weeny denim shorts that give her wedgies.

A Shein shopper has exposed the Chinese retailer’s latest clothing disaster online: jean shorts that show way more than booty cheeks.

“This picture is chafing me,” Twitter user Katherine Sliter tweeted.

And these jean shorts are not your average bottoms. Marketed as “Low Rise Booty Denim Shorts,” the denim garment looks more like a skimpy thong that barely covers nether regions.

The scandalous $12.99 shorts caused a frenzy on Twitter, with users stunned by such barely-there knickers.

“My crotch would never recover,” tweeted one person.

“That’s not enough fabric to cover the goods. I doubt those shorts would pass a public decency test,” wrote another.

Other Twitter users were confused, wondering how their dump truck would even fit inside the fun-size shorts — which didn’t even have a model wearing them in the listing.

“How do you fit anything in there?!” and “where does everything else go?” concerned shoppers commented.

Although many people are dismayed over the shorts, some bold fashionistas wanted to experience “wedgie city” themselves.

“Omg, I look like a busted can of biscuits in Spanx!” one declared.

“Very cute, can’t wait to wear it to pole class,” added another.

“My husband loves these!” chimed in a bold fashionista.

Even with mixed reviews, the scanty bottoms are still available on Shein’s website in sizes 4 to 14 in four different colors.

It’s not the first time Shein was roasted for selling provocative clothing pieces.

The Chinese retailer has become known for clothes that leave little to the imagination, such as the “SXY Rhinestone Studded One-Piece Swimsuit.

The sold-out swimsuit barely had enough cloth to cover the model’s groin area having many people question “Where would my flaps go?”

And last year, the online clothing purveyor received blowback for an ultra-tiny bikini that was prone for a wardrobe malfunction.

The swimsuit covered the model’s lady parts with about the same strength as dental floss.

Nia Long holds back tears recalling months following Ime Udoka split

Nia Long fought back tears as she reflected on the “devastating” months following her split from fiancé Ime Udoka.

“I’ve had some pretty devastating moments in my life over the last couple of months,” she told Yahoo! Entertainment over the weekend.

“And I’ve had to just say, ‘It’s alright. You’ll pick yourself back up and’ — oh my god. I’m about to cry. ‘You’ll pick yourself back up and keep moving,’” she added as she fanned her face with her hands to stop herself from crying.

The “Missing” actress held back tears as she talked about how her life has been following her split from her fiancé.

The “Best Man” actress’ emotional revelation comes four months after the Boston Celtics announced that Udoka, 45, would be suspended as head coach for allegedly having “an intimate relationship with a female member of the franchise’s staff.”

Following his suspension, Udoka issued a public apology to his team, the entire Celtics organization and his family for “letting them down.”

“I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision,” he said in a statement to ESPN in September. “Out of respect for everyone involved, I will have no further comment.” 

Long was “blindsided” by Udoka’s cheating.

Long was reportedly “blindsided” by the affair and Udoka only told her about the cheating days before he knew the news would become public.

Two months later, Long spoke out about how the scandal has impacted her and Udoka’s 11-year-old son, Kez.

“I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public,” she told The Hollywood Reporter last December.

“No one from the Celtics organization has even called to see if I’m OK, to see if my children are OK,” the “Boyz n the Hood” star continued. “It’s very disappointing.”

Later that month, Long’s rep confirmed to People that she and the former NBA coach were “no longer together but remain fully committed to co-parenting their son.”

A source also told the outlet that “the situation is unfortunate and painful, but Nia is focusing on her children and rebuilding her life.”

Last December, a rep for Long revealed that the “Friday” actress called it quits with the former head coach.

Long is also a mom to son Massai II, 22, from a previous relationship.

T.J. Holmes can’t stop grinning despite ongoing affair accusations

T.J. Holmes appears to be completely unfazed that his future at ABC is in jeopardy over his alleged affairs with co-workers.

One day after Page Six reported exclusive details about the suspended “GMA3” host’s alleged affair with a younger ABC employee, he was seen with a big grin on his face while talking on the phone.

Holmes sported a red Atlanta Braves dad hat, gray sweatpants, a black peacoat and white sneakers as he walked the streets of Manhattan on Friday.

In another snap, he even points to the camera while smiling.

The 45-year-old’s joyful stroll comes one day after a source claimed to Daily Mail that Holmes had a months-long affair with then-24-year-old Jasmin Pettaway in 2015 — while he had been married to his now-estranged wife, Marilee Fiebig, for five years.

“He was a predator who took full advantage of his position, and he was reckless,” claimed the source who was close to the script coordinator at the time.

“It was Jasmin’s first real job in television, and it was a big deal for her. She was looking for a mentor, and she reached out to several people. T.J. was someone who was responsive, but he absolutely abused the position of trust.”

The “GMA3” host’s appearance comes after he was accused of having a months-long affair with a younger ABC employee in 2015.

The insider also claimed that Pettaway and Holmes would sometimes have sex “in his office” for a “couple of hours” before he was set to go on the air with his co-hosts.

An ABC source told Page Six that though Pettaway was at ABC for a short time, their alleged affair could be a “huge problem for T.J.,” since he was her superior.

Holmes’ problems at ABC started to unravel when his alleged affair with “GMA3” co-anchor Amy Robach went public last November.

In photos obtained by Daily Mail at the time, Holmes and Robach could be seen holding hands and spending time together at a cottage where the father of three was seen grabbing his co-host’s butt.

After the alleged affair publicly surfaced, ABC took both hosts off the air, pending an internal investigation.

Last month, Page Six exclusively reported that Holmes allegedly had romances with at least two other employees, including married producer Natasha Singh.

While the duo’s future on the weekday show was initially uncertain, sources have now told us that Holmes and Robach are “unlikely” to return to their show. We’re also told they’ve both lawyered up.

Holmes filed for divorce from Fiebig last month after almost 13 years of marriage. The former couple shares one child together, 10-year-old daughter Sabine. He is also a dad to Jaiden and Brianna, whom he shares with ex-wife Amy Ferson.

Robach, for her part, is almost done finalizing her divorce from husband Andrew Shue. The pair tied the knot in 2010.

Amy Schumer jokes about ‘kicking it with Adam Levine’

Amy Schumer couldn’t resist poking fun at Adam Levine’s cheating scandal in a new interview, joking that she has been spending time with the Maroon 5 frontman.

“What have I been up to?” the actress asked Jimmy Kimmel during Monday’s episode of his talk show. “I’ve mostly been just kicking it with Adam Levine. That’s me.”

Kimmel laughed, asking, “Your husband, [Chris Fischer], I assume, is OK with that?”

When Schumer, 41, replied, “Oh, my God, he totally respects my choices. We have a good sex life,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host, 54, called the chef, 42, a “good man.”

The “Inside Amy Schumer” alum’s comments come one week after Instagram model Sumner Stroh alleged she had an affair with Levine, who shares two daughters with wife Behati Prinsloo and has a third child on the way.

Following Stroh’s claims, at least four other women came forward with screenshots of alleged messages they received from the Grammy winner.

While Levine, 43, denied having a physical affair with Stroh, 23, in a Sept. 20 statement, he admitted he “crossed the line.”

The “Sugar” crooner added, “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner.”

Schumer isn’t the first celeb to crack jokes about Levine’s scandal; Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, and “Workaholics” alum Adam Devine also trolled him.

Koma, 35, edited a picture of himself into an alleged direct-message exchange Levine had, making it appear as if the “Payphone” singer approved of the DJ’s selfie skills.

“Holy f–k,” Levine’s alleged message read. “Holy f–king f–k. That body of yours is absurd.”

As for Devine, the actor, 38, clarified on Friday that he is “not Adam Levine” despite their similar names.

“He’s a different guy and a worse singer,” the “Pitch Perfect” star captioned an Instagram photo with his wife, Chloe Bridges, noting that they are “doing great and doing strong.”

“We are however naming our future baby Sumner,” he continued, poking fun at Levine allegedly asking Stroh if he could name his third baby after her.

While Prinsloo has yet to respond to the “She Will Be Loved” singer’s scandal, the couple have put on a united front by stepping out together multiple times this month.
