Joey Lawrence Had Sex With My Wife..
Actress Accused of Adultery With Him. Joey Lawrence carried on an
extramarital affair with an actress he starred alongside in an upcoming
movie ... at least according to her estranged husband ... and it may provide a clue for
why Joey's wife just filed for divorce. Actress Melina Alves' estranged husband,
Edward Rider, makes the adultery accusation in new documents from their divorce in New
Jersey ... and the timeline here is revealing. TMZ broke the story ... Joey's wife of 2 years, Samantha Lawrence, just filed to divorce him,
and she lists June as their date of separation. Now, get this ... in new docs obtained by TMZ,
Melina's estranged husband claims he found out in late March that Joey and Melina were
banging. He makes the allegation in divorce docs filed in late July, a few weeks before
Joey's wife filed to end their marriage. What's more, Joey and Melina are accused of
having the affair in California ... which is pretty interesting, considering they star
alongside each other in the upcoming movie, "Socked In For Christmas," which
was presumably filmed in Hollywood. Joey's got a starring role in the flick, while Melina's the writer on the project
and has an acting credit as well. And apparently Melina's estranged husband
doesn't think the alleged affair was short and sweet either ... alleging the affair
went on "at various other times and places." Melina even featured Joey on her Instagram page,
but she recently deleted a photo of them together. Joey's got a history of getting romantic
with women on movie sets ... he actually met his current estranged wife while
filming a Lifetime movie together. Both he and Melina have kids with
their now-estranged spouses. We reached out to Joey's and Melina's
camps ... so far no word back.
