Two weeks after serving a jail sentence for violating probation, Mindy McCready has given an interview with Inside Edition about her years-long affair with married baseball legend Roger Clemens, a relationship first revealed by the New York Daily News last April. Clemens has yet to confess to any sexual activity with the country singer, who was engaged to Dean Cain for a period of their alleged relationship.
While McCready admits to meeting Clemens at fifteen, she continues to claim that the relationship did not turn sexual until she was of legal age. “Roger Clemens is one of the most wonderful men I’ve ever known. I loved him very much…still love him to this day,” said McCready. “He treated me like a princess.”
According to McCready, the couple went on romantic vacations for almost a decade (“We went to Palm Springs. We went to Las Vegas, New York City.”) before she realized that he was never going to leave his wife. “I wanted him to, after all that time, do the right thing by me. And, Roger is loyal and dedicated to his family…and so I ended it.” McCready has since told the NY Daily News that she did not mean to imply she wanted to marry Clemens. “I never wanted to marry Roger Clemens. I wanted him to do right by his family.”
In the interview, she also apologized to Clemens’ wife of over 20 years, Debra. “I have nothing but remorse and nothing but sympathy for what she’s had to go through with this situation.” The singer is now working on a comeback album.
