Karina Opens Up on Mario's Alleged Cheating

In an interview Monday, Dancing pro Karina Smirnoff opened up about the news that her recent ex (and former dance partner), Mario Lopez, had been cheating on her for close to a year, even while the pair lived together. Reports surfaced over the weekend that Lopez had been secretly involved with Hooters waitress (and upcoming reality show contestant) Meagan Cooper.

Speaking with E!'s Chelsea Handler, Smirnoff fought tears as she admitted how hard it was to go through the breakup, especially in the public eye, much less hear this latest news. "It could be worse," Smirnoff said. "It could be [Hugh Grant's prostitute] Divine Brown." Handler quipped that what really would've been worse would've been learning that Mario cheated on her with another man.

Smirnoff gave a little laugh, but the slinky dancer still looked a little morose:


How do you think Smirnoff handled it all? After watching this clip, the bigger question seems to be how Lopez could possibly have been unfaithful to the sultry Smirnoff - but give us your take. - Anna Dimond
