Woman Claims She Had Affair With George Anthony

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- WFTV learned Friday that a woman said she had a relationship with Casey Anthony’s father, George Anthony and that woman was questioned by detectives.

It turns out that woman looks a lot like the description George gave detectives of Zenaida Gonzalez, also known as ”Zanny the nanny."

Casey claimed it was the nanny who took her daughter, Caylee Anthony.

Skye Benhaida told WFTV that her sister provided investigators with information that she was having an affair with George Anthony that started soon after Casey was arrested. She said it lasted for about a year.

Benhaida said George told her sister that Caylee's death was an accident that snowballed out of control.

The sister of the woman who says she was George Anthony's mistress said George apparently used her sister as a model for what Zenaida, the alleged nanny, looked like; apparently, right down to a tattoo that her sister has.

She said her sister gave George almost $5,000 over the course of their affair and was told by investigators that George had taken money from other women as well.

The sister also said that she had photos on a phone of she and George in intimate situations and shared them with detectives as well as the numerous text messages they exchanged using all three of George's cell phones.

The sister also told WFTV the woman has taken a lie detector test and was questioned by detectives for hours.

WFTV asked George Anthony’s lawyer about the issue and he said he's not received any information from investigators about it. Also, he would not answer any direct questions about whether George had an affair with the woman, but he did not deny that it happened.

Casey's defense team spokeswoman's response to WFTV’s questions about all of this was "no comment."

I wonder if this is the evidence the Prosecution got that they wanted to suppress temporarily from the Defense?

At any rate, George is talking accident? And he's as much as knowing everything!

(Mods, does this thread belong with Misc Theories? Or somewhere else? I don't know! LOL)

LOL Julie!

Thanks for posting this Lottie. Snaz usually makes the final decisions in the Anthony section, but this story should be fine as a new topic. If you aren't sure where to put something, please feel free to post it as a new topic. We will merge it later if we think it fits in with another topic.

George was receiving money from his sugar babes, and he didn't even use it to pay his mortgage?

If this affair began after KC was arrested, the idiot had to have known who GA was, so WTH did she give him money?

What is wrong with women today, she actually paid for sex with GA, so does that make GA a Prostitute? Is prostitution illegal in FL? If so, maybe LE needs to arrest him and throw him into a cell too. But, on the other hand, I think once this gets out in the public more, I'm sure CA can dole out his punishment better than the law can.

Lottie-this is unreal, that's all I can say. I can't wait to see some other's comments. I think this probably is the thing that the Prosecution was withholding from the Duh-fense?

LOL, Mama, maybe he'd rather be in a cell, than at home.

Okie Dokie, J4A!

Julie, there's a discussion on The Hinky about it.

Zenaida? Benhaida? George the Gigolo?

Huh?

http://www.wftv.com/news/22825765/detail.html

So George’s description of Zenaida closely matches a woman who claims to have had an affair with George? And George’s chippie has a sister with a last name Benhaida?

Benhaida-fo-faida-fee-fi-fo-faida-Zenaida?

And George allegedly took her for $5000 while they were screwing around? And he had other chippies, and he took them for money as well?

George is a gigolo?

WTF?

Valhall.

Thanks Lottie.

You always have to question the source when a story comes from someone claiming to be a mistress, but I'm sure investigators will look into everything that she told them. If Caylee's death was an accident, Casey would have been much better off to report it right away and be truthful about everything. Her lies and partying seem to indicate that Caylee's death wasn't an accident and that she was enjoying life without her. If she tries to play the accident card this late in the game, I don't believe it's going to fly.

If this is true it is probably behind the suicide attempt..he figured out his goose was cooked if Cindy found out...Wonder why this "lady" kept quiet for so long....Oh, well...loose lips sink ships...glub, glub....

The sister also said that she had photos on a phone of she and George in intimate situations and shared them with detectives as well as the numerous text messages they exchanged using all three of George's cell phones.

Hey, hey....next doc dump?

Strange that George's babe is said to look like the description George gave of Zanny the Nanny.

But also, isn't the description George gave the same one Casey gave of Zanny?

Which came up with it first? Casey or George?

I know George said it publicly after Casey did. But Casey did tell someone George was having an affair. Do you think maybe she knew what George's babe looked like?

If so, then it's weird that the babe said they only began a relationship AFTER Casey was arrested. Well, maybe it just wasn't a relationship until after, but could have been starting before Casey was arrested?

It sure could figure in to his suicide attempt, I mean his fake suicide attempt. LOL Might be why he faked it, to get sympathy from Cindy so she wouldn't kill him!

It is odd this woman would keep quiet for so long. Maybe she was afraid they'd try to pin something on HER! And if this is what the prosecution was keeping hush hush, that would make sense.

If George did tell his babe it was an accident, perhaps he elaborated on that as well and that didn't make it to the current report. But it looks like she'd have gone to the cops with this a long time ago.

I do think it's too late for Casey to play the accident card even if it were true. Unless there is proof somewhere of an accident, but I don't see how since Caylee was too decomposed.

If there is anything to what the sister is saying, and if it is what the prosecution wanted to keep under wraps, might we see an arrest for George now that the info is out there?

So many thoughts running through my head > the duct tape on George's gas can is most likely George's > could George ever try to say the accident happened while he was supposed to be watching Caylee and he is the guilty one of disposing of Caylee? Casey's already eluded to George being the one responsible for the smell in her car.

Maybe someone better watch George for a confession note and a real suicide!

maybe this woman has the same motives as kronks ex.. just to be in the limelight..

however.. i LOVE that-- loose lips sink ships..

Skye Benhaida's myspace! Get it before it goes down! LOL

http://www.myspace.com/skybenhaidayahoocom

How interesting. Skye is online on her myspace! Is this all about attention?

I notice she's a chef by occupation. Wonder if she got ole George interested in cooking shows? LOL

This is just what the Anthony's needed to bring them back into the spotlight. As for any gal falling for George and giving him money - thats HARD to believe. What did he do with the money? Could he have blown it on more male enhancement products?

Some results of quick research before I'm off to bed>

On skye's myspace her moods are reported as confused on Dec 15 09, crushed on Dec 16 09 and George and Cindy were on The Today Show on Dec 15 09.

On Dec 18 she writes "I'm terrified, pull the trigger" (sarcasm maybe?)
On Dec 21 she writes "I'll go deeper and deeper, I told you I'll get you"

Her mood on Jan 4, that hasn't been changed since, is 'calm' and Jan 4 was the day Holly G got arrested.

Just sayin' that's some timing for a ticked off mistress?

Oh, I get it. George paid her...he wanted to spice up his image, as people were blogging about his lack of male traits. George read the blogs faithfully, hoping to find females who fantasized about him.

The woman & her sister are in this video, they were at Caylee's memorial!

eeewww, she implied they were naked pictures, eeeewww!

“The source is highly credible and will be proven as such soon,” WFTV news director Bob Jordan said. “The other shoe is about to drop.”
What does that mean? Stay tuned.

I guess this is the sister, River, the mistress.

This is certainly another twist. YIKES!!!

If the picture above, of River, how could her sister say GA gave her description as that of the nanny. This girl is definitely not a '10'. But I must say, she is the exact opposite of CA, a) she gives money to GA and b) she is hispanic/latino (exactly what CA hated). Jokes on you CA.

sitemama

Good evening? morning? Somehow, I get the feeling this is akin to something the defense would pull. My head is on permanent shake almost.

Um...yuck, Julie! The River photo, I mean.

what has been going on? wow iv been away for a few months to look after my mum and havnt really been following the caylee anthony case, i thought that was it wed have to wait untill she went to court and now im reading all this stuff and it doesnt sound good!! i have a sneaky feeling george knows and maybe involved. it will all come out in the wash! how funny though how they stood united as a family only to be revealed thats not what they are george is a liar and a cheat could he be a killer too?? he was a cop he might of thought they could get away with this, even if it was an accident theyv done too much to cover it up now no one will beleive them! poor caylee

Just when you think it can't get any stranger...Bombshell!!!! Sounds like he's competing with the Cummings' family

I guess George went out on dates with Skye when Cindy was out on her dates with Dominic Casey!

River looks like a man! And George wears pastels! Just sayin'....

I think she bears a strong resemblance to Andrea Lyons...Just dye her hair brown and give her a double chin...voila doppelganger...

OMG....I can't believe this! We had a nasty thunder and lightning storm last night and I just got my internet service back.

Maybe Cindy and George had an "open" marriage...

I can't wait to go back and watch these videos! Thanks for posting LottieM!

Annnddd I bet he met her while he was driving around pulling that mini billboard...in what I call the Cayleemobile...after all he went all over the place and wasn't he alone?..Don't think he was being tailed then...and it was a good excuse to get away from Cindy...Don't you know that a lot of people went up to him and talked to him...Good opportunity...

Dang, River's picture has been taken down already. So River ended the affair after George stood her up twice.

If this is all true, and he told her Caylee's death was accident Georgie Poo is in deep doo doo.........all the money they raked in on their live Caylee scam.

There is someone named Skye posting at MD's, starting at 9:39 am today.
http://marinadedave.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/the-skyes-the-limit-and-george-is-the-new-tiger/

I am just rolling over this, Julie. Unreal! And to think he'd be texting her and taking nudie pics........

As far as KC goes, she sure didn't fall far from the tree, did she? The news sources are saying this is credible.

Piper, it certainly is interesting, to say the least. I'm following on MD & Hinky right now too.

I saw that too Piper...River posted under Skye's name too...I wonder if she knew WHO he was at first??? Is this the impetus to push Cindy back to the divorce lawyer...especially since the house is being forclosed on and she has nothing to contribute to a settlement...Why don't they just agree to walk away...

Estee, I wondered the same thing. Maybe River didn't know who he was at first. As hard as it is to believe, there are many people that don't know a thing about this case.

I wonder if it is true love?

They are saying the detectives came to River's door....3 weeks ago. They found her out through her and Georgie's text messages. It seems they would have combed through all of George and Cindy's texts a long time ago though. If this is all true, I'll bet Brad Conway had no idea and he'll be the next to walk............any bets?

Unless George mentioned it in his suicide note, hell I don't know. This case certainly does keep my head spinning.

LOL, Eva. Skye said River was in love with George...she cared for him deeply until he stood her up twice and River broke it off.

Good point, Estee! He probably did go meet up with her when he was 'out with his sign'!

I think he could have met her online earlier before Caylee died though. She could have been what Casey was referring to when she told her friends her dad was cheating on her mom online. Remember Casey said he was doing that and they were getting a divorce and she was getting the house? Casey could have been looking toward the future of what might happen if Cindy found out.

Gee Piper, I didn't even think about Brad...If he doesn't walk I'll bet he has a stern talk with George....Too bad for the Ants that they can't heed the advice of their attorney...They certainly have brought this on themselves....Bet Cindy is seething...

Would River's statements be considered hearsay, in regards to George stating it was an accident? A he said/she said?
