Burkle's Ex-Wife Says He Spied

The AP
Newly unsealed documents in billionaire Ron Burkle's divorce include allegations by his former wife that he spied on her, their young son and her boyfriend.

The documents, released late Friday, also included a declaration from Burkle's 29-year-old daughter that her father once told her his security staff had videos of wife Janet Burkle and her boyfriend having sex.

Burkle's attorney, Patricia L. Glaser, disputed the allegations in a letter to the Los Angeles Times.

"Mr. Burkle never told his daughter any such thing," Glaser said. "There are no such videotapes. There was no such eavesdropping. This is not true."
Great moments in civil liberties.
