Tennis legend Martina Navratilova is paying off ex-partner Toni Layton $3 million in hush money to prevent her from exposing her “secrets” in a long legal match.

The two had been together for eight years, breaking up in January 2008, when Martina gave Toni the heave-ho.  Apparently, Toni didn’t take it too well (or appreciate the $200 000  settlement Martina initially offered).

Toni previously claimed , “There are a lot of skeletons in Martina’s closet. It is more like a storage facility full of them, and I know them all”.

Just remember kids, threatening to expose a person’s secrets for money yourself is a major no-no (extortion is illegal), unless you hire a lawyer to do it on your behalf, in which case any money handed over is called a ”settlement”.  See?  It’s not just how you say it, but who says it that matters. 

Cue stampede of Martina’s previous ex’s to come out of the woodwork, looking for payouts or to sell their stories to the tabloids in 5…4…3….
