Danny Cipriani’s estranged wife has claimed he messaged other women and spent around £500 a month on psychedelics during their marriage.
The 36-year-old former rugby star split from spouse Victoria last November after two years of marriage, but she’s now filed for divorce and claimed she had “the wool pulled over her eyes” as she accused the sportsman – who is now dating actr4ess AnnaLynne McCord – of not knowing what reality is anymore.
Victoria told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “He left, I was heartbroken. Then he got together with AnnaLynne.
“I felt humiliated by him but now I want to move on with my life.
“He is so into taking psychedelics that I don’t believe he knows what is reality and what is not.”
Victoria alleged Danny spent around £400-£600 a month on chocolate bars laced with magic mushrooms, which he usually bought on Instagram, favouring a brand named Fusion, and she often had “no idea” he was high because he was “constantly” consuming the psychedelic sweets.
She said: “I got so sick of it. It started to upset me. Everyday he said he wouldn’t do drugs. Then by midday he’d be back on them.
“The thing with Danny is, he could be on mushrooms and talking to you and you would have no idea. He functions so well on them.
“Then he has times he will take lots to get high and be on another planet. Most of the time it was taking small amounts. Constantly eating bits of the chocolate throughout the day.
“One day he took a large amount and just lay on the floor. I thought I would be able to help him and he said he wanted to stop taking drugs. Danny was taking loads of prescription drugs and I just said, ‘Enough is enough.’”
While Danny was “extremely romantic” when they first got together, Victoria – who tragically lost the couple’s baby when she was 23 weeks pregnant – noticed a change in his behaviour when he stopped playing for Bath.
She said: “I found out he had a number of apps and messages to other women on his phone.
“I knew his reputation as a ladies’ man but honestly believed he had changed.”
And in November, the pair had a row at the Four Seasons hotel in London which “triggered the end” of their marriage.
Victoria said: “It was an event with a self-help guru. Danny was sat near women he knew from spiritual circles and I started to see more than just friendship.
“I admit I did not deal with it well. I shouted at him. I confronted the women and told them he was my husband.”
She later went through her husband’s phone and found messages she claimed were “inappropriate” and “flattering” towards other women.
She said: “I was shocked, heartbroken.
“They weren’t sexts but they were telling women they were beautiful, and about the connections he felt to them. Not the kind of thing you want to read your husband sending.
“There were messages to a woman he’d met a few weeks before. I knew then it was over. I knew his reputation but thought he was a new person.
“I don’t think he was ever unfaithful to me. I confronted him about the messages but he dismissed me. We had a huge row and he left, taking four pairs of jogging bottoms.
But despite her devastation, the 42-year-old mother-of-two wishes the best for Danny.
She said: “I hope he finds the happiness he is searching for. I still believe he is a beautiful person. But I have said my side now so I’d like to carry on with my life. It is a new chapter and I am now talking from a place of peace and not pain.”
