'Dr. J' Sex Tape Released?
Mon Jan 26,11:49 PM ET
A sex video reportedly featuring NBA Hall of Famer and Orlando resident Julius Erving has surfaced just as he begins divorce proceedings from Turquoise Erving, his wife of 30 years.
The alleged tape was delivered to the New York Post last week and was apparently shot several years ago in a San Jose, Calif., hotel room with a young woman.
Dr. J, 53, who led the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA championship in 1983, reportedly said that it was his wife who released the tape to the media.
"This tape was made 15 years ago, while my wife and I were separated," Erving told The Philadelphia Inquirer Monday through a spokesman. "The decision by my wife's advisers to release it during our divorce negotiations is disappointing, especially since my wife has had it in our possession all these years."
The New York Post, said the video shows a younger Erving in an "undershirt, boxers, and metal-framed glasses engaging with a voluptuous, dark-haired young woman with cinnamon skin (
ST's comment...well, at least she's of color) wearing a negligee."
A Seminole County, Fla., court ordered Erving to pay Turquoise $1,500 a week, plus household expenses, and $8,000 a month for credit-card bills. Erving lists his net worth at $9 million.
The former Sixers star has fathered at least two children out of wedlock: tennis player Alexandra Stevenson, 22, and Jules, a 6-year-old son identified in divorce papers last year.
