The Celtic keeper said wife Kasia was refusing to divorce him. He accused her of trying to destroy his life and using their year-old baby Alex as a weapon against him. And bizarrely, he claimed that Kasia sabotages his visits to his son in Poland by putting on highheeled shoes to distract the tot. Boruc, 29, said last night: "All Kasia's family think I am mentally ill and an alcoholic and they provoke me all the time. "When I go to see my kid I cannot sit with him alone for even 10 minutes. And when I go for a walk with Alex, my mother-inlaw goes one metre behind us because she's afraid I'll steal him." Blackmail blackmail, in law, exaction of money from another by threat of exposure of criminal action or of disreputable conduct. The term was originally used for the tribute levied until the 18th cent. Boruc added: "Kasia puts on high heels high heels high npl → talons hauts, hauts talons high heels high npl → hochhackige Schuhe pl because she knows Alex will look at her when she walks and his attention is diverted. "It is blackmail, playing on feelings - like messages from my wife that I will not see my son any more." Boruc, nicknamed the Holy Goalie, now lives with his new love, ex-model Sara Mannai, 24. But he insisted it was Kasia's decision that they should split. "She said she was fed-up with life like this," Boruc claimed. "We separated twice before." Boruc said he gave Kasia, 29, a generous cash payment as well as five flats inWarsaw. But he accused her of denying him a divorce because she is angry about Sara. He said: "In Poland, when there is a little child in the family, you cannot have a divorce if your wife tells in court that she loves you. "Kasia assumes she's aggrieved by me and now her only occupation is making my life worse. She watches for news of me all the time and reads a Polish gossip website. "She is a psychologist and she knows how to make everything lose sense. But if she was a real psychologist she would know that she cannot behave like this because she destroys our kid." Boruc, who made a string of high-profile blunders last season, admitted the trouble in his personal life had affected his form. But despite press stories about his drinking, he said his poor displays had nothing to do with booze Booze sold cheap whiskey in a log-cabin bottle. [Am. Hist.: Espy, 152–153] See : Drunkenness . Boruc said: "Am I an alcoholic? No I am not. I don't drink every day. I have a couple of beers when I am permitted by the club. "Yes, I also smoke, but not a lot. "People blame Sara but it's not true. With her, I am happy. It's a myth that my family don't like her and see her as a money-grabber."
