In the wake of Eva Longoria’s Wronged Woman Famewhore Extravaganva, Tony Parker has finally made a public statement. Tony is basically telling the world that he wasn’t blind-sided by Eva’s divorce filing:

“Eva and I have been discussing our situation privately,” he says in a statement issued by his rep. “I was aware that she would be filing for divorce in Los Angeles.”

Parker, 28, also denied a report – since retracted – that he went to court first.

“I did not file for divorce in Texas and did not hire divorce attorneys in either Texas or California,” he says. “We plan to continue to keep our discussions of this matter private.”

In addition to that, Tony told a local San Antonio TV station that “This is a difficult time right now for me and Eva… Everything else is our private life.” When asked specifically if he boned his teammate’s wife, Tony said, “Everything else is our private life. That’s my private life. I’m getting great support from teammates and coaches. Right now, I just want to concentrate 100 percent on winning basketball games with the Spurs.”

And Eva isn’t the only one in this divorce with a team of publicists – TMZ has run a few pro-Tony stories where “sources” are reiterating that Tony absolutely did NOT have sex with any woman other than his wife. Now, did he sext these ladies? Sure! Oh, and that Brent Barry dude – Tony’s teammate – is definitely filing for divorce from his sexting wife.

    Actually, I think it’s smart….the less he says the better. Eva will be doing all the talking, I’m sure, and at some point (soon) everyone will want her to STFU.

  2. bite me says:

    haha, poor eva

  3. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    What a douche.

  4. Kitten says:

    HOT GUY FRIDAY. That is all. Everything else is a non-issue.

  5. mln says:

    I still think he is more concerned with his 50$mill contract and not pissing off his teammates and the mananagment than Eva.

  6. Rita says:

    I’m not sure what to think of Tony’s cheating denial but until the “strange” surfaces I suppose I’ll accept it.

    As for Eva being “devastated” over divorcing a man who claims he’s never cheated, I find her “devastation” to be akin to Anna Wintour’s “devastation” who after being carried into a ballroom by her body guards spies another woman wearing the same dress and Tim Gunn sipping punch with a smirk on his face.

  7. Gypsy says:

    I like to see the positive in things and in this, Tony will find a younger child bearing age woman.
    Eva will find a more age appropriate man famous enough to drag to interviews/red carpets.
    This works out for them both, because Tony was never really into the Hollywood glitz and self promotion, and Eva was all about that.

  8. Musicfan says:

    WTH? Tony will find a “younger child bearing age woman” LOL. Eva is 35/36 years old. Not 45! Sheesh.

    Tony never looked much younger then his wife, now Ashton/Demi thats diffrent. Eva/Tony? Uh no. Also if Tony is so innocent guess what? Why is the team mate ALSO FILING for divorce? Puhleese where there is smoke, there is fire.

    Also TMZ is just angry with Eva because she pissed on their “exclusive”. TMZ “Harvey Levin” is also a great supporter of Mel Gibson and blames Oksana for everything wrong. So that little midget needs to drink poison.

  9. Just a Poster says:

    Gang, please tell me what is up with all the Eva hate? Seriously, did I miss a story or something? I am so outta the loop.

    Sorry Tony, sexting is still cheating you jackwagon! Just because you didn’t bang her, doesn’t negate that you were/are cheating!

  10. mln says:

    “Tony will find a younger child bearing age woman”

    What an ass backward statement. First off Eva is 35 not 70 last I heard that is child bearing age. Second if he really is a cheater why bring children into it? Lastly do you think a woman’s worth is soley in her ability to pop out a baby for her husband maybe niether one of them even wanted kids.

  11. Sara says:

    Sure he wants it to be private, but it isn’t looking as though Eva wants it to be private. She is blabbing to Mario Lopez who is the host of celebrity gossip show!!!

  12. Gypsy says:

    Do you really, really believe Eva is 35???

    Tony is 25 and what would suit him now as a woman 22-28, also since Tony isn’t looking for Red Carpets and glitz he’ll have no problem finding a decent young girl quickly.

  13. liz says:

    Sexting comes only after the deed has already been done in order to keep the wood in the fire.

  14. guesty says:

    why is tony still acting like eva’s puppet? grow a pair already.

  15. Gypsy says:

    Hey Tony here is a list of hot YOUNG Hollywood girls:
    1. Amanda Syfried
    2. Jessica Stroup
    3. Anika Noni Rose
    4. Olivia Wilde
    5. Kim Kardishian
    These are just a few possibles, date a lot before you marry again.

  16. mln says:

    @ Gyspy it really doesn’t matter how old Eva is. Your statement was sexist. I am not an Eva fan but her worth isn’t in her ability to push out a baby. That is what was offensive about what you said.
    EDIT: and BTW how old are you claiming she is? alot of actresses have babies well into their 40s.

  17. Gypsy says:

    Medical facts:
    1. Older a woman gets the less eggs she produces.
    2. Older a woman gets the more likely she will have a miscarriage.
    3. Older a woman gets the more chances her baby will have a medical condition (applies to men also)
    4. Older a woman is the more chance that a baby could cause her medical distress even death.
    5. Older a woman is..ETC, ETC..

  18. SallyJay says:

    @ Gypsy – what is your problem?

  19. Jezi says:

    Gypsy I don’t even think this is an issue, I’m sure Eva is thrilled that she doesn’t have children with him. Now there is no more connection and she can move on with her life. Frankly, I know plenty of 35 year old women who have gone on to conceive healthy children. I also know some 20 year olds who have children with issues. That is a very generalized statement. Eva isn’t sitting in a nursing home, she still has plenty of time. But who even knows if she wants kids or she just says that because everyone expects her to want them. This is about Tony and his cheating ways.

  20. Gypsy says:

    @Jezi – I think you missed my point (read my first post) – they are both going to win in this divorce.
    They both get a chance to choose more appropriate partners in the future.
    Eva gets a more famous guy.
    Tony gets someone more within his age range. – They both win.

  21. junipergreen says:

    How is “getting someone more within his age range” a win for him? My partner is 13 years older than I am and we’ve been together ten years and I’m more in love now than ever before. It gets better every day. Age is certainly not the issue in Tony and Eva’s divorce. Well, for you apparently, but in general? Not so much.

    Also, NICE sexist remarks. You are as ignorant as you are misogynistic. Nice to know women are judged based on popping out babies. Welcome to the year 1400! (News flash–some people actually don’t want babies…and Tony may have not wanted them either right now.)

    If I were in Eva’s shoes and got cheated on like that, sure, why not shit on him in public a little? He’s earned it.

    It amazes me how hateful people are toward women these days. Got beaten? YOUR fault! Got cheated on? You must be deficient in some way!

    Pretty disgusting sentiments.

  22. Emma says:

    @junipergreen – well said.

  23. normades says:

    @Gypsy: As a woman who is OLDER than Eva and just had a baby I find your comments VERY offensive. I conceived naturally, had no health issues and feel I will make a better parent now then when I was 25.

    And no, Eva will not find someone more “age appropriate”. This is Hollywood, she’ll find herself some young hot piece asap.

  24. skibunny says:

    @Gypsy: have you ever been through a divorce? It’s very painful no matter what the circumstances. To have it in the public eye…..well I cant even imagine how horrible that would be. When people marry they make a committment. When they make a conscious decision to cheat that committment becomes betrayal. It hurts no matter who you are.

  25. slymm27 says:

    gypsy, maybe its time you keep quiet. You are just saying all the wrong things. Funny how women are their own worst enemy. Just be quiet

  26. Jeri says:

    Eva’s always been a self obscessed fame ho and I admit it’s nice to see her getting hers. She and Paula Abdul are in the same bracket but Eva can’t dance.

  27. george is a liar says:

    My take on Eva Longoria is that she and her family never thought tony was good enough. I don’t see him as the type who would stray if he was being taken care of at home. Vacuous, superficial women, listen up! marriage is work! if you neglect your husband they will look for comfort elsewhere, then they’re the bad guys when they’re “caught”. please. let her go tony. my belief is that, if they don’t want you, it’s because there is someone better waiting in the wings. happy hunting. and go for a woman of substance this time.

  28. DoMaJoReMc says:

    @ liz: “….keep the wood in the fire.”

    HaHaHa! Now that’s funny stuff right there! : D

  29. abby says:

    I just saw in a Globe magazine article (maybe 1 or 2 weeks old) that apparently Eva and Tony were planning on adopting a baby in early 2011!
