The New York Daily News reports that underwear heiress and Candice Feinberg, 39, claims her husband convinced her to give him $744,000 she thought was for gambling debts, when in fact the cash was for his mistress.
A $10 million lawsuit filed by the New York woman against her spouse says she was led "to believe that her husband, Steven Lalicata, whom she had recently married, owed large gambling debts to members of organized crime. Through a series of coordinated communications, they led her to believe physical well-being would be in jeopardy if she did not make huge amounts of cash available to him on short notice."
Feinberg's father, Herbert Feinberg, is "credited with inventing seamless panties," the Daily News reports.
The suit also names Lalicata's alleged mistress, Diana Fernandez.
Oscar Holt, Fernandez's attorney, told the New York Post that Fernandez and Lalicata were “just friends.”
Feinberg's lawsuit tells a very different story, alleging that Fernandez sent her a text that said "Your husband is in my house right now…he sucks the habichuelas [beans] right out of my a--. Squeaky clean now…”
The couple was married in 2011 and the suit was filed in June of 2012, but reported on this week.

A woman in Michigan recently got the surprise of her life when she discovered a large 4 foot long python coiled in the folds of her couch.
According to ABC News, Grand Rapids resident Holly Wright made the shocking find over the weekend, when she spotted a large snake slithering around in a secondhand couch she had picked up.
"I picked this couch up off the street and it's been in my bedroom for a couple months, and today we found a python inside the couch," Holly Wright said in a video obtained by ABC News' Grand Rapids affiliate WZZM-TV.
Wright said she had cleaned the couch when she brought it home and never noticed the stowaway snake. She believes the reptile's appetite is what prompted it to come out of hiding.
"It didn't really react or hiss ... It was quite cold in the room, there was no food for the snake and I think it came out of the couch because it was dying," she said.
Wright may be right, as the python did die before she was able to get help for it.
"It's been really sad actually to realize all this time I was in proximity to that animal [and it] was probably suffering," she told WZZM.
The snake received a proper burial and the couch got kicked back to the curb, along with a written warning — "Do Not Pick Up."
Man who bought brain tissue for $600 on eBay tipped police
Much of the stolen material has been returned to museum
The brain tissue was taken from the Indiana Medical History Museum, site of the former Central State Hospital, which treated patients with psychiatric and mental disorders from 1848 to 1994.
David Charles, 21, is accused of stealing human brain tissue from the Indiana Medical History Museum in Indianapolis, and selling the looted organs on eBay, the Indy Star reported. Officials say Charles stole jars of preserved brain tissue -- which came from deceased psychiatric patients -- on multiple occasions over the past year.
Museum officials reported several break-ins over the course of the year. Police were tipped off to the underhanded eBay deals by a buyer who purchased six jars of brains at $100 apiece and later ascertained that the transactions might be fishy.
Investigators say they nabbed Charles in a sting operation, meeting up with him outside a Dairy Queen on December 16, Fox 59 reported.
They also note Charles wasn't exactly discreet about his illicit endeavors. He wrote "Yo I got a bunch of human brains in jars for sale hmu [hit me up] for details u know u want one for Halloween," on Facebook on October 14.
The museum has recovered much, though not all, of the stolen material, executive director Mary Ellen Hennessey Nottage told the Indy Star.
The brains that belong to the museum come from about 2,000 psychiatric patients from the now-closed Central State Hospital, which was in operation from 1848 to 1994, according to Raw Story. The Indiana Medical History Museum now stands on the site of the former hospital.
Kim yells "this is a trick Kourtney and I used to do when we were really good skiiers" seconds before falling on her bum in the snow....
Half of the Kardashian Klan are currently snowing it up in Park City, Utah and reality royalty Kim's been bottom planting in the white cold powder.
And 30-year-old Scott Disick captured it in a 26 second clip before posting it to his Keek account.
As Scott starts filming the pair on the slopes, Kim shouts: "This is a trick Kourtney and I used to do when we were, like, really good skiers. Kourtney! If you make me fall I'll kill you!"
The pair then try out the manoeuvre, with mum-of-two Kourtney sliding through Kim's legs with just a little wobble.
Clearly chuffed, the 34-year-old mum-of-two throws her arms up triumphantly, but when Kim does it, it doesn't quite go to plan.
Baby North's mum passes under her sister's legs before picking up speed and veering off towards the trees to the left of her and onto her bottom.
"Uh-oh! She's going down!" Scott yells as yummy mummy Kim almost gets personal with the trees!
"I did it perfectly two other times - it's just when you're Keeking me!" Kim yells back.

Top, Nida Ul-Naseer, Chanelle Beasley, Hayleigh-Jade Ffrench - Bottom, Diana Horvathova, Patricia Zupkova and Heidi James
Police are searching for these SIX girls who have gone missing over Christmas and New Year.
Forces across the country are appealing for information on the girls, who range in age from 12 to 18.
12-year-old Chanelle Beasley, of Mitcham, south west London, has not been seen since 3pm on New Year's Eve.
She has not gone missing before and her family are becoming increasingly concerned over her whereabouts.
Chanelle is described as of dual heritage, 5'5" tall and of slim build.
She was wearing a jacket with a leopard skin pattern on the front and leather on the back, over a black and white glittery cardigan, with light blue skinny jeans and black Nike Air Max trainers. She was carrying a black Adidas record bag.
Following initial inquiries, police believe she is currently in the Romford, Dagenham, or Chadwell Heath area.
13-year-old Hayleigh-Jade Ffrench, also known as Hayley, was last seen at 5pm on New Year's Eve.
The teenager, from Hayes, west London, is described as black, 5ft 6in and with long, braided hair.
She was last seen wearing a flowery T-shirt, tight-fitting blue jeans, pink ankle-height trainers and a green, shiny puffa-style thigh-length jacket.
She has links to south London, specifically the Lambeth, Elephant and Castle and Tooting areas.
14-year-old Heidi James is believed to have left home on New Year's Day before 4.30am after celebrating with her family in Long Lawford, Warwickshire.
Heidi, also known as Beth, was wearing a pink onesie with pink hearts on and a dark purple sweater and brown ugg boots. She was not wearing a coat.
The teen, who could be in Northamptonshire, is described as a white female of slim build with shoulder length black hair.
Patricia Zupkova, from Eastwood, Rotherham, and Diana Horvathova from Leeds are Slovakian and 15.
They are believed to be together and have not been in contact with their families since last week.
There have been unconfirmed sightings in the Leeds and Bradford areas but so far, the youngsters have not been found.
Patricia has dark brown wavy shoulder length hair and she was last seen around 1pm on Boxing Day at her home on Bramwell Street, Eastwood, wearing silver/grey jogging bottoms and the same colour sweatshirt.
Diana is described as 5’2” tall, slim build, has long brown hair with blonde highlights, and she has a tattoo on the right side of her neck with the initial DH.
Diana was last seen around 7pm on Christmas Eve at her home address on Sandhurst Terrace in Harehills, Leeds, wearing a red long-sleeved top, a red hooded top with a black chequered pattern, light blue jeans with tears on both legs, and black Nike trainers.
18-year-old Nida Ul-Naseer, from Newport in south Wales, vanished on Saturday at 8pm after taking out the rubbish at home.
The teenager has not been seen since she stepped outside to go to the bins outside her home on Linton Street .
Police sniffer dogs and up to 40 police officers, some on horseback, have been searching open areas around her home.
The teenager, whose disappearance is out of character, is also in need of medication without which she is likely to become anaemic.
A police spokesman said: "Nida is of Asian-Pakistani appearance and has long dark hair, is slim and is five feet three inches tall.
"She was last known to be wearing blue jeans and a black top.
"To go missing is particularly out of character for Nida, and officers and her family are increasingly concerned for her welfare due to that fact that she hasn't been in contact, especially over the New Year period."
Police in Yorkshire are concerned for the whereabouts of two teenage girls who are missing from home.
Anyone with information on any missing person should call police on 101 or the charity Missing People on 116 000.
