Hell hath no fury like years of legal wrangling in a messy divorce, and it seems Boris Becker’s ex-wife has decided to go scorched earth.
Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Becker openly mocked her ginger ex recently by laughing at the shamed tennis star’s bankruptcy battle.
Lilly claims Boris was keeping prize horses in his bedroom to hide them from debt collectors who came knocking on their door.
Dad-of-four Becker apparently took these weird steps when assessors turned up at his Majorca mansion in 2017, around the time he had declared himself bankrupt. The three-time Wimbledon champion had son Amadeus, 13, with Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Becker before they split in 2018.
She spilled his secrets to ITV during an upcoming documentary called ‘Boris Becker: Rise and Fall.
“The guy tries to go into the master bedroom but Boris had hid the horses. You have to pay taxes on them and he hadn’t.”
“You see the funny side of the story because you walk into the bedroom and there’s a horse. I’m sorry, that’s funny.”
Boris denies not paying taxes and hiding the animals in the documentary, set to air on July 13. The show doesn’t exactly tread lightly as it also tells how the tennis prodigy blew £100 million (R2.3 billion) on his playboy lifestyle.
Lilly wasn’t done with him yet and publicly called on Boris to fulfil his “obligations to his son”.She told a German newspaper that “Boris seems to think he is more intelligent than everyone, so I look forward to him soon fulfilling his obligations to his son.”
Lilly has claimed Becker has not paid her any maintenance or school fees for their son Amadeus for the last 10 months. She also branded him a “devil”.
“Boris can be charming and loving when he wants to, but also extremely hurtful with words. A devil.”
“Prison didn’t make Boris a better person. Boris lives in his world in which everything revolves around Boris Becker.”
When asked if Boris is capable of showing love, Lilly claimed “Boris loves his children and his mother. In the form in which love is possible for him.”
Ouch, right in the heart.

Becker announced in February 2009 on German TV he and Lilly were getting married, and they got hitched four months later in St Moritz, Switzerland. Eight years later the pair announced they had separated, and then launched into a series of court hearings in which they accused each other of “unreasonable behaviour”.
Boris seems to have a lot of problems, and Lilly has the list.
