( 4UMF NEWS ) Brian Cashman‘s Wife Files For Divorce:
The wife of Yankee general manager Brian Cashwell isn’t giving him any more chances. Scorned wife Mary Cashman, 42, filed for divorce in Stamford, Conn., Superior Court on Friday seeking to split with “B.M. Cashman.”
The filing came the same day that sources revealed Cashman tried to get rid of an alleged mistress who authorities said was blackmailing him by urging her mother to have her committed.
A lawyer close to Cashman summoned Louise Neathway’s mother to his office for a meeting last week and presented her with an affidavit stating that her daughter was mentally unstable, the sources said.
“He told the mother she needed help,” one of the sources said. “He suggested to her that she try to have her committed.”
Step one, the lawyer told Caroline Meanwell, was to call 911 and tell the operator that Neathway “needs help.”
But when Meanwell called on Jan. 27, the operator told her that Neathway needed to call them herself because she’s an adult, the sources said.
Neathway’s mom left the meeting without signing the affidavit. Later that day, the lawyer called her and pressed her to try calling 911 again, sources said. He assured Meanwell this time police would respond because he “knows a cop” who will make sure it happens.
Meanwell refused, sources said.
The revelation came a day after Neathway, a 36-year-old single mom with a history of stalking, was arrested for harassing and extorting money from the Yankees general manager.
Cashman, 44, couldn’t be reached to corroborate the account, which comes from sources close to the investigation. His lawyer, Eric Creizman, could not be reached for comment and it wasn’t clear whether he was involved.
Neathway, a British citizen who also goes by the name Louise Meanwell, is jailed on Rikers Island and charged with extortion and harassment.
