NICE PA$$: Bill Belichick allegedly bought this Park Slope pad for Sharon Shenocca.
February 25, 2007 -- New England Patriot coach Bill Belichick has been supporting his alleged mistress - a New Jersey housewife in the midst of a divorce - by sending her envelopes stuffed with cash and buying a secret $2.2 million Park Slope town house for her use, court papers allege.
For the last 18 months, Belichick has mailed or wired about $3,000 a month in cash to Sharon Shenocca, she said.
Belichick, she said, also paid for her $25,000 Jersey Shore summer rental in Lavallette and showered her with gifts, including a private jet to Disney World and a Fast Pass credit card to pay for gasoline.
Last June, she said, Belichick bought the tony Brooklyn town house, which boasts stained-glass windows and parquet floors, on Sixth Street, less than a block from Prospect Park.
Sharon, 41, revealed the cash, gifts and Brooklyn getaway in divorce depositions taken in November and January, admitting she had earlier fibbed in denying the football coach's financial largesse.
"I am sorry," she testified.
The confession prompted her and her estranged husband, Vincent Shenocca, to reach an agreement last week on the financial aspects of their divorce, lawyers said.
And that means that Belichick may not have to testify under oath about the money he spent on her, a New Jersey judge said.
But the Shenoccas continue a fierce battle over Sharon's desire to move with their kids to Belichick's Brooklyn town house - a move hotly contested by her husband.
Sharon's sister, singer Terry Radigan, and brother-in-law Ned Massey, a songwriter, have moved into the four-bedroom town house, which was purchased last June for $2,225,000 by B.R. Realty Trust, the deed shows.
According to lawyers for Sharon's estranged husband, the letters stand for Belichick and Radigan, Sharon's maiden name. Belichick is separated from his wife of 28 years, Debby.
Sharon has slept in the town house a number of times, she said in the deposition. She remains at the marital home in Morristown, N.J, with her kids.
