Model exposes Gordon's love life in Playboy
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>The woman who allegedly had an affair with Gordon that led to a breakup of the driver's storybook marriage is telling all -- and showing all -- in the October issue of Playboy, which hits news stands today.
Deanna Merryman, who says she first met Gordon while working at a Neiman Marcus in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2000, told the magazine she didn't recognize the NASCAR star at first, though her friends did.
"I said, 'What's going on? He's this short little dude," she told the magazine.
Merryman, who also poses nude in the magazine, said she at first declined Gordon's invitations to lunch, but a year later they began an 11-month affair. She said Gordon, who previously had a straight-laced image, "became a wild man."
"He got married when he was 23 and has been on the race track since he was a kid," she said in the interview. "He used to tell me all the time that he never had a chance to have fun."
Gordon's public relations agent declined to comment, but said the driver would be available for interviews today.
Merryman, who once worked as an exotic dancer and had small roles on "Baywatch" and "Veronica's Closet," said Gordon left her for another model.
"Right before my birthday, I found out he was meeting her at the beach," she said
