Ex-Playboy model wants extra $200,000 from top GOP donor

-

A former Playboy centerfold model who claims to have had an affair with a top fundraiser for President Trump wants him to pay an additional $200,000, beyond a $1.6 million settlement, according to court documents unsealed on Wednesday.

Shera Bechard (in pic) filed a lawsuit under seal earlier this month against the fundraiser Elliott Broidy her former attorney Keith Davidson, and Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn actress Stormy Daniels.

Several news organisati­ons, including AP, fought to make the lawsuit public and a redacted copy was released on Tuesday.

Bechard and Broidy had an affair, which led to Bechard becoming pregnant, and Broidy agreed to pay her $1.6 million as part of a confidenti­ality agreement, according to court documents.

The settlement was supposed to be made in a series of eight payments of $200,000, court papers said.

Broidy stopped making payments to Bechard in July — after two installmen­ts — and alleges the agreement was breached as Davidson had improperly discussed the details of the confidenti­ality agreement with Avenatti, according to the lawsuit. Bechard charges that Broidy’s refusal to pay is also a breach of the agreement.

She alleges she has suffered damages because of the breach and is demanding a $200,000 payment from Broidy, the “immediate accelerati­on” of at least two of the installmen­t payments or to be paid the rest of the money she hasn’t been paid as part of the settlement. Eric Rose, a spokesman for Broidy, said in an email that, “Given the confidenti­ality issues, Elliott is going to let his legal teams court filings speak for themselves.”
