'Bachelor' Contestant Claims An Affair With Boozer

Michelle Money, a contestant on "The Bachelor," tells Life & Style magazine that she was having an affair with Chicago Bulls' forward Carlos Boozer while he was still married.

Money told the magazine that she met Boozer when she was a recent divorcee living in Salt Lake City, and Boozer was playing for the Utah Jazz. She claims that Boozer told her that he was separated from his wife, although Boozer filed for divorce in March 2009. Money claims she and Boozer broke off their relationship in June of that year.

"I'm not trying to shy away from the fact that he was still married," Money told the magazine. "I don't put that on Carlos. I don't put that on anyone but myself. I feel terrible for Cece for that pain she's had to go through and that I am a part of it."

According to the magazine, Money "has quickly established herself as one of the most controversial contestants on the new season of The Bachelor."
