Tichina Arnold Says She Never Intended For Ex-Husband’s Sex Tape To Go Public

In a recent interview with People, actress Tichina Arnold spoke on the release of her husband’s sex tape with another woman and how it was not what she expected to happen. Arnold says that when she found out about the tape, she sent it to “very close people”, just to inform them of why she was leaving her husband of three years, Rico Hines. Arnold said, “I did not expect it to go public the way it did,” but she assures us that “no one from my side leaked it.”

Though the sex tape may have been the public’s first time hearing about Hines’ infidelity, Arnold says that his cheating became a “pattern”. While she says that his mistakes does not make him a bad person, she felt it was imperative that she rid herself from that situation as soon as possible. “I had that feeling of, you know, beyond him being my husband, this is supposed to be my friend, my confidant. Somebody who I can trust. And when you can’t trust the person that you sleep with every night, there’s a problem,” she says. “I could no longer trust him. I could no longer lay with him. And it doesn’t make him a horrible person. We all make mistakes, but not with me and not on my time and not in my life,”

Hines was Arnold’s second husband. After this relationship, she says that she has no intentions on getting married again. Since their split, she says there are many issues she’s still facing. She claims that people are upset about the divorce, but she had to do what was best for her.
