An insider revealed, "Christine is reaping sweet revenge by trashing Kevin to anyone who will listen, saying he's a selfish lover who never satisfied her. It's amusing to people because Kevin has always prided himself on his reputation as a Don Juan." The source further added, "But Christine's totally blowing that image. She's on a mission to make him the laughing stock of Hollywood — and she may be succeeding."
According to court documents, Baumgartner's initial encounter with Costner took place on a golf course when she was just 18 years old. During this period, Costner was married to his first wife, Cindy Silva, and was engrossed in rehearsals for his sports comedy film Tin Cup in the early 1990s, as reported by Entertainment Tonight.
