14 DAY TRIAL // About five weeks ago, a new celebrity baby scandal broke, when confirmation came that Linda Evangelista’s son had been fathered by Salma Hayek’s husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, at about the same time the two started a family as well. The actress is said to be livid with rage.
As we also reported at the time, the model went to court to ask the judge to force Pianult to pay alimony for the child he never provided for.
To her credit, Linda did not speak to the press about the case and neither did she say Francois’ name as the father’s, but word still got out: when Salma found out, she flipped with rage, says a new report in Morung Express.
However, it wasn’t until recently, when Linda went back to court to ask for no less than $46,000 a month in child support that Salma really lost her temper.
“Friends say Salma, 44, was initially devastated by the news. But now that Linda, 46, has turned such a private matter into a public scandal by taking the Frenchman to court, demanding a staggering $46,000 a month in child support, the Mexican beauty is incandescent with rage,” the report says.
If she had her way, the actress would probably scratch the model’s eyes out, a source familiar with the situation says for the aforementioned publication.
Salma simply can’t believe that Linda, who has more than enough money of her own, would drag Francois’ name through the mud like this by asking for this ridiculously high amount in child support.
Moreover, the actress believes that this is Linda’s way of getting her revenge – so many years after the deal was done – on Francois because he did not choose to stay with her, and went off with Salma instead.
“Salma is absolutely livid. The money Linda is asking for is absolutely crazy – it is clearly just Linda’s way of sticking the knife in because Francois-Henri chose Salma over her,” the source says.
“Salma is so angry, she wants to scratch Linda’s eyes out!” the insider adds.
