I don’t judge Eva Longoria for filing for divorce – which Us Weekly claims she just did. I don’t judge her for leaving her allegedly philandering husband. But I will judge her for yesterday’s PR hissy fit in which her poor publicist was sent out on her behalf and used every threat possible to get TMZ, E! News, and People to print stories denials and stories about how Eva and Tony were not getting a divorce. Instead of coming across as a wronged woman in the middle of the media train wreck, Eva chose to pull rank and lie and scheme and bitch and moan (through her rep) for 24 hours. It says to me that Eva was more concerned with the public relations of the split than the actual split:

Eva Longoria Parker has filed for divorce from her husband of three years, San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker, UsMagazine.com has learned. The filing comes on the heels of the latest Us Weekly, which reports that Longoria Parker, 35, recently discovered that her husband, 28, has been exchanging personal texts with a mutual female friend for nearly a year — hundreds in just one month.

“Eva is heartbroken by the betrayal,” says one insider (Longoria Parker’s rep had no comment; Parker’s rep could not be reached).

The two met in November 2004.

They had a brief rough patch that year — “We were going through growing pains,” she explained to Cosmopolitan — but they worked it out.

He popped the question in 2006. “It was more than I’d imagined,” she told Cosmo of his proposal. “I was shocked, too. It was like two in the morning. He got down on one knee. He was so nervous, which is what I find so surprising and sweet. I said, ‘Honey, you know how much I want to marry you!'”

They famously wed in a $1.5 million wedding at a 17th century castle in Paris in July 2007 — in front of her Desperate Housewives co-stars, including Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman.

Baby rumors soon followed.

“Tony and I want … as many as we can have. Three, four, five,” she said in 2008. “We think about adopting too.”

The same year, the 5-foot-2 star dodged pregnancy rumors when she packed on 7 lbs. for Housewives (“I’m just fat,” she quipped).

The two appeared to be in fine shape this past summer as they celebrated his birthday and their third wedding anniversary.

“We’re thinking about it. Pretty soon,” he told Us in June when asked about starting a family. “She’s got one more year with Desperate Housewives, so we’ll see what happens.”

With their time apart, he told Us, “Skype helps a lot. As long as you both make an effort, it works … [but I miss] not being able to kiss her every day!”

Once again, I’m not judging her for any of the marriage stuff, just the media stuff. But I’ve wondered for a while why Eva and Tony didn’t have any babies. Do you think their marriage was always on rocky footing? Was the time never right? Did Eva or Tony just keep repeating that now wasn’t the right time for their career? Did Eva always know that the marriage was going to be a disaster and she didn’t want to bring any kids into it? Hm…

Also – TMZ is confirming that Eva has filed, and they say she’s also requesting spousal support. I doubt it’s a “Bitch, are you poor?” move, and more of “That son of a bitch cheated on me and I’m going to make him pay” move. Oh, and they had a prenup! Good for them.

UPDATE: People Magazine reports that Tony was allegedly screwing around with the wife of one of his teammates. This is according to Eva, who is telling all to her BFF Mario Lopez. Eva says she’s not going to reveal the name of the baller or the wife, but that Tony cheated with the woman earlier in their marriage, and she only recently found out that they were still in contact – hundreds of texts in a month, it seems. Meanwhile, Eva gave an exclusive statement to Us Weekly, saying: “It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce. We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness.”

UPDATE: Oh, Mario Lopez/Eva is saying that Tony screwed around with another woman too. So that makes it “two” and it’s only been 24 hours.
