Speaking out for the first time since the breakup from husband and Dodger owner Frank McCourt, Jamie McCourt told the LA Times that the recent accusations about her were "devastating."

"To read everything that's been said is devastating, and my kids are pretty upset about it," she told the Times.

She acknowledged being in a romantic relationship, according to the Times, but said it didn't start until after the power couple had separated. She also denied several of the allegations against her mentioned in court filings.

"I have never been with another man until the marriage broke up. Ever. Ever," she told the Times.

Citing "irreconcilable differences," Jamie filed for divorce October 27. Frank asserted he is the sole owner of the Dodgers while Jamie claimed she had an ownership stake. He fired her as the Dodgers' chief executive officer October 21.

In a petition to the Los Angeles Superior Court, Jamie had made several demands including a request to be reinstated as the Dodgers' CEO and Vice-Chairmen. The judge denied that request.

Jamie values the McCourt estate in excess of $1 billion, according to TMZ. She lists her monthly expenses at nearly $500,000 and has requested a range of benefits including 5 star travel accommodations, access to team doctors, and tickets to All-Star games and playoffs, TMZ reported.
