It's getting ugly already.

Pals of Alex Rodriguez are speaking out against his wife Cynthia " a day after she alleged infidelity in her divorce papers.

One friend tells New York's Daily News that she spent close to $100,000 on his credit cards to punish him for his relationship with Madonna. (Us Weekly broke the news that A-Rod has been making late-night trips to the singers NYC pad; Cynthia's attorney said they had an affair of the heart.)

"She's been spending wildly," the pal tells the paper.

After the scandal broke, the pal says Cynthia flew to Paris and "had spa treatments [and] went to the best restaurants" " all on A-Rod's dime.

The pal says Cynthia has been keeping A-Rod (who appeared solemn while dining at NYC eatery Serafina Monday) from their children, Natasha, 3, and Ella, 2 months. (Cynthia's lawyer says A-Rod has chosen not to see his kids on his own accord.)

The friend also slams Cynthia for hiring four divorce attorneys.

"She needs four lawyers in four states?" the pal asked, according to the Daily News. "That's not the dream team. That's the greed team."

Although the couple had a pre-nup, her suit suggests that she should get up to half of the more than $140 million A-Rod earned during their six-year marriage.

She also wants their $12 million Miami estate, alimony and custody of their two children.

    He deserves what he ends up paying!!! What a scum bag to cheat on his wife and kids, and especially for his little "visit" to Madonna the day after his baby was born and still in the hospital. He's a dirty dog. YOU GO GIRL. Let him have crazy Madonna, you are better off without him.

    Consider that she went into the marraige in full faith and bore him two children within that marriage. Those children have lived a lifestyle according to his current income, and its totally unfair to THEM to make them live in a lesser style just because their daddy likes to chase tail. Since their mom will likely raise them, whats he gonna do, make her live in an adjoining shack? Pay up player!!

    When married people think first about their happiness and not that of their family, I think that is disgusting especially when you have just adopted a child. You should first get the divorce, then fix your broken family and then move on. This proves that people are selfish and olnly think about what brings them that instant charge. It wont last.
