Former Met Art Shamsky engaged "engaged in acts of adultery with both men and women," his ex-wife claims in an explosive lawsuit, according to Page Six.

 

When it came to swinging, former Mets outfielder Art Shamsky did it from both sides of the plate, his ex-wife claims in an explosive lawsuit.

The outfielder and first baseman who played on the '69 Amazins repeatedly cheated on his ex with both women and men, his ex-wife Kim Shamsky claims in a sordid lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Page Six reported today. Art Shamsky's lawyer dismissed the suit as the work of an angry ex-wife.

The 67-year-old Shamsky "engaged in acts of adultery with both men and women," including "acts of 'unprotected' sexual and deviate sexual intercourse," according to the suit.  As a results, the court papers claim, Kim Shamsky, contracted HPV, the human papilloma virus.

Shamsky continued to have sex with his wife, whom he divorced last May after 13 years of marriage, although he "knew that an individual or individuals with whom he had engaged in sexual relations had contracted HPV or that he had contracted HPV," court papers allege.

Art's lawyer Pat Crispo dismissed the entire lawsuit as "frivolous" and said his client is free of any sexual disease. 

"This is the act of a very angry ex-wife who has maligned him in the press," Crispo told Page Six. "He will be vindicated in the courts."

  • Lise Monday, Mar 9 at 1:00 PM FLAG COMMENT I am a friend of Arts' from the mid-seventies as we both had mutual friends at that time and spent a lot of time together. Art is a real decent and sensetive human being with a compassionate heart and a great sense of humor. I wish him and his ladyfrind all the best in life and find these ruors absolutly ridiculuous.
  • Teresa Monday, Mar 2 at 7:12 AM FLAG COMMENT I live with Art Shamsky and this has been the most blessed two years of our life-we actually feel sorry for all of you who know nothing about our life- however if you pray perhaps you will all take care of your own life -because we are having a wonderful life. Art is the kindest most gentile man all of us have ever known- have a good life- we do!! Teresa
  • jewboy Thursday, Feb 19 at 7:26 PM FLAG COMMENT I came of age with the '69 Mets. I was always proud that the Mets had a Jew on its roster. It was gratifying to read of his efforts in the attempt to bring baseball to Israel. No matter what shakes out, I will always hold Art Shamsky in high regard. Shalom!
  • Shocked Thursday, Feb 5 at 1:09 PM FLAG COMMENT yes, I am shocked that anyone who knows Art would think that he "swung both ways". He is a truly decent and kind soul. The exwife must be a real nut job to bring any of this unsavory garbage public. It draws just as much question to her character. She is a train wreck that will hurt a lot of innocent people.
