'Bing sneaked from party for sex'

Standard Reporter12 April 2012

Steve Bing was having an affair with casino owner Kirk Kerkorian's wife for weeks, it is claimed.

Mr Bing, who is waiting to give a DNA sample in his paternity battle with actress Liz Hurley, had a secret fling with former tennis player Lisa Bonder nine months before the birth of Kira Kerkorian, a close friend claimed in court papers.

Mr Kerkorian, 84, says he is infertile and insists that the Hollywood playboy is Kira's father. Ms Bonder is taking Mr Kerkorian to court for nearly £223,000 a month in child maintenance.

Ms Bonder, from Aspen, Colorado, was married to Mr Kerkorian for only a month. But she was sleeping with Mr Bing for months in the run-up to Kira's birth in 1998, according to documents filed at Los Angeles Superior Court by Mr Kerkorian in the child-support battle.

Anne DuPont, a friend of Ms Bonder, says in the documents that she was invited to meet Mr Bing and a friend at the Bel-Air Hotel for drinks in July 1997.

Ms Bonder and Mr Bing slipped away for a while in mid-meeting, Ms DuPont says, adding: "When she returned she told me she had just had sex with Steve Bing."

Ms DuPont says Ms Bonder told her she had been having sex with Bing for several weeks. Kira was born in early 1998 - about nine months later. Mr Kerkorian's private detectives searched through Mr Bing's rubbish and found dental floss which the court papers say carries DNA linked to Kira's with a 99.993 per cent certainty.

If the owner of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas loses the case it could cost him millions of dollars a year.

Meanwhile Mr Bing, heir to a $400 million fortune, is waiting to give a DNA sample in his paternity battle with Miss Hurley, 36, who claims he is the father of her month-old son Damian.

Mr Bing caused uproar when he denied Miss Hurley's claims and remained silent until last month when he announced he was taking her to court to force her to undergo a test and determine who Damian's father was.

In the original 33-page declaration contesting the couple's divorce settlement, Ms Bonder said Mr Kerkorian, who is said to be worth $4.45 billion, agreed to take care of his daughter's every need.

The couple's relationship began in 1991. They married a year after Kira was born but divorced a month later.

Mr Bing's representatives at publicists Woolf Castler would not comment on the latest developments. Mr Kerkorian's lawyer also remained silent. Outside his home in Bel-Air, Hollywood, Mr Bing refused to answer questions about Kira.
