Rule No. 1 of hiding a sex tape: don’t send it to all of your friends.
Actress Tichina Arnold — who starred in sitcoms like “Martin” and “Everybody Hates Chris” — is opening up about her estranged husband Rico Hines’ infidelities that were broadcast publicly in a leaked sex tape.
Arnold said she did not expect the tape of Hines engaging in sexual relations with another woman “to go public the way it did” this January, despite the fact that she texted the video to several of her close friends, People reported.
“No one from my side leaked it,” she told People.
Arnold sent the tape to a close circle of friends, including the women that served as her bridesmaids.
The 47-year-old actress from Queens said she felt “betrayed” after watching the video of her husband cheating.
“I had that feeling of, you know, beyond him being my husband, this is supposed to be my friend, my confidant. Somebody who I can trust. And when you can’t trust the person that you sleep with every night, there’s a problem,” she told People.
“I could no longer trust him. I could no longer lay with him. And it doesn’t make him a horrible person. We all make mistakes, but not with me and not on my time and not in my life,” Tichina continued.
Arnold revealed that it also wasn’t the first time her husband strayed.
The couple tried working on their issues, including Hines’ prior infidelities, but it came to a point where she just had to move on from her second marriage.
“I’m sure there are a lot of people that are upset with me, but it’s not their problem,” she said. “This was my issue that I needed to deal with, and I’m old enough to deal with my issues.”
As for finding love again, Arnold said she’s open to it, but a third marriage is “not gonna happen.”
