Kobe: 'Pistons Disappeared Forever'
White Supremacist Faces Charges After Horrific Attack
Jenkins then says that he became so upset about the breakup that he thought about killing himself.
To date, I haven't heard of anyone being sued for cheating with another person's fiancee. However, I do know that in some states, you can be sued for cheating with someone else's spouse. These "alienation of affection" lawsuits are legal in several states: Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.
The lawsuits originate from the days when a woman was considered to be a man's property. In North Carolina, verdicts of over $1 million dollars have been won. Even more interesting is that you can still sue even if you don't live in a state where such laws exist. If the alleged indiscretion took place in one of the states mentioned above, you can sue under the laws in that state.
Don't expect to see Antoine Walker give up too much loot though. The former NBA baller is allegedly broke after being arrested a few months ago when he bounced some checks to repay gambling debts. He also experienced some interesting fallout in his own love life, when his former fiancee, Evelyn Lozada, jumped ship and is now dating Chad Ochocinco. So, perhaps what goes around comes around, or gets passed around, depending on how you look at it.
At the very least, Jenkins may just need to man up and deal with it. We all play the fool in the game of love at some point, and although we'd like to get paid for the pain caused by others, you've got to just keep it moving. I lost a fiancee myself once and it hurt me to the core. But your world should always be bigger than just one person....especially if that person doesn't love you.

Look man no dress or tight jean's is that important to make you want to kill yourself, if she had it like that you should happy to get rid of her before the marriage. If you had married her with your being that unbalanced you might have killed her and ended up in prison for life for killing a looser. Be happy this NBA fool got her, one day he will get rid of her.
I bet she was what men call a looker, well, there are other great lookers that you can meet and keep your mind and your money. I am a looker and got married at age 60 for the first my spouse is ten younger then me and guess what I so glad I waited and he is to we been together for 5 years and we are still very much in love.Thank you.

Antoine Walker don't have a pot to wee-wee in simply because he chosed to be a failure and failed those who were "awe" by his talent. He chosed to take the God given talent and waste his wealth on irresponsible behavior. Look how many Chicago teens he could've saved from destruction! God will take you down.

This dude is just an idiot altogether! He needs to go have an "intimate moment" with a Financial Planner! Years ago, a coworker of mine dated Walker. She held no punches about how much of a "trick" he is. How she predicted that one day he would be broke is still beyond me! I couldn't forsee someone with that kind of money, losing it all.
