The drama surrounding the Becker family has gone to another level. Lilly Becker, the estranged wife of Boris Becker has recently entered a trial of owing $235,073.81 to TV producer, Pierre Uebelhack. However, Lilly has strictly denied the allegations. The 47-year-old is currently accused of having utilized some part of the money to hire a private detective to investigate her husband.

As the reports suggest, Uebelhack claims to have given $26,955 directly to Lilly Becker to pay for security consulting. The main motive behind this was the idea that Boris was hiding some money from her. Later, at a courtroom hearing in Munich, it was discovered that Uebelhack gave Lilly the money in two instalments, the first one was $166,657 followed by the second one of $30,116.

Thus, the ongoing saga surrounding Boris Becker and his wife has taken a unique turn as she will now be undergoing trials. It will now be interesting to see how things unfold in the future.

Lilly revealed the kind of personality Becker was

In an interview earlier, Lilly came ahead and talked about the German legend. She suggested that he was a devil and that prison did not make him a good person. While he was loving and charming, there were days when he was extremely hurtful with his words. She further added that he used to hide personal finances and did not even care for her.

“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 a world in which everything revolves around Boris Becker. It is not my fault he went to prison. He ruined his reputation all by himself.  Boris doesn’t care whether we’re doing well or badly. We used to have an honest love. When I started to emancipate myself in marriage, there were arguments. Also because of Boris’s lies about his finances,” said Lily while smashing Boris Becker for his actions.
