Just a day after Jennifer Lopez and Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez announced their engagement, Jose Canseco decided to pipe up and accuse his former fellow New York Yankee of cheating.
But not only did he accuse A-Rod of cheating on Lopez, Canseco claims the affair is with his own ex-wife Jessica.
It all went down on Sunday night, March 10, while Canseco was apparently watching World of Dance – an NBC reality show on which Lopez is a judge. It was then that a series of tweets from Canseco appeared with the accusations, including one challenging A-Rod to a fight.
Taking to social media, Canseco wrote:
Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is
It’s quite a claim to make against someone who just got engaged less than 48 hours earlier.
Canseco said he knew what was going because:
I was there a few months back with her when he called her on her phone
A-Rod has been with Lopez for two years now, and proposed to the 49-year-old while they were on holiday together in the Bahamas.
Canseco wasn’t done there though, he continued:
Alex Rodriguez stop being a piece of shit stop cheating on Jennifer Lopez
And even challenged A-Rod to make things physical, adding:
Alex Rodriguez I challenge you to a boxing match or an MMA match anytime you want
The former Major League Baseball star even said he’d be up for doing a lie detector test to prove his claims against Rodriguez and his ex-wife Jessica.
He wrote:
I am willing to take a polygraph to prove that what I’m saying about Alex Rodriguez is 100% accurate
Canseco has been divorced from his ex-wife since 1999. In 1997 he was arrested and charged with battery for hitting Jessica after the pair got into an argument while returning from their daughter’s birthday party, according to MailOnline.
Canseco was also accused of aggravated assault against his first wife, Esther Haddad, after ramming her BMW with his Porsche.
Both Canseco and Rodriguez admitted to using performance-enhancing steroids during their baseball careers. Canseco won the World Series twice – once in 1989 with the Oakland A’s, and once with the Yankees in 2000. While Rodriguez won in 2009 with the Yankees.
Neither A-Rod or Jennifer Lopez have so far commented on Canseco’s accusations.
