Millionaire Banker Blasts Fiancée With Cheating Allegations During Engagement Party Speech

When 64-year-old Massimo Segre grabbed the mic at the lavish soirée in Turin earlier this month his 150 high-society guests were likely expecting a doting and besotted speech dedicated to fiancée Cristina Seymandi, 47.

What they got instead was a rant filled with allegations of cheating -- both sexual and emotional -- and Segre stating he didn't like being seen as a "cuckold."

"I want to give Cristina the freedom to love. Specifically, to love another person; a notable lawyer, who she clearly cares about more than me," he began, translation per NYP. "Dear Cristina, I know how much you are in love with him mentally and sexually."

"I know that before him you had a relationship with an industrialist acquaintance," Segre said, adding another cheating allegation to the mix. "Don’t think it pleases me to look like a cuckold in front of all of you."

"Cristina is so good at telling her truths, that I couldn't leave her alone to narrate the reason why I'm ending [our] life together tonight," he went on to assert. "It's a banal story of infidelity, even premarital. I am so disappointed, I am heartbroken."

Seymandi stood awkwardly right beside Segre as he delivered his scathing list of accusations in front of their friends and family.

Since the verbal attack, Seymandi has reportedly engaged attorneys to potentially sue her former fiancé for "reputational damage" and for subjecting her to "very serious attacks on social media and threats from Italian citizens," per the Daily Mail.

Seymandi's attorney, Claudio Strata, said her former partner had "intentionally humiliated her."

"The letter was read out in front of dozens of people and it was captured in a video that was sent to the newspapers. We don't think this was improvised."

Segre has denied publishing the video as well as allowing it to be filmed in the first place.

According to Daily Mail, Cristina sent a letter to the director of the Zona Bianca TV news programme, characterizing Segre's speech as an act of "psychological violence" and said he clearly "meticulously planned his revenge."

While in another interview she speculated her former partner may have been "manipulated."

However, that was not the end of the bad blood.

Segre went on to accuse his former fiancée of withdrawing $760,000 from one of his bank accounts following the botched engagement party, per the Post.

But Seymandi has categorically denied the allegation, saying the money was "consensually transferred" when they were still a couple, engaged and in love.

Seymandi is a successful businesswoman and was even involved in politics at one point in her career. The former couple are said to have joint business ventures.

Segre and Seymandi were engaged for several years, their wedding was planned for October.
