Gibbs to lose his IPL earnings?

Things are going from bad to worse for Herschelle Gibbs. After being discarded from the national side due to poor form, the opening batsman may have
to fork out a major part of his IPL earnings to pay alimony to his wife, Tenelle Gibbs. Tenelle has accused her husband of having become "verbally abusive, aggressive and erratic", according to the Daily Mercury.

Gibbs charged with alchohol abuse, faces a claim of maintenance for 96,950 rands per month. The couple got married in the West Indies last June and Tenelle said she
has got accustomed to the lavish lifestyle in the past one year. According
to an affidavit filed to the Cape Town High Court, Tenelle has said the
cricketer 'embarrasses me at social gatherings often while under the
influence of alcohol.' Gibbs allegedly also sent "disregarding" text
messages and stopped her access to his bank accounts. Tenelle
Gibbs' submission says her husband had an IPL contract for 4.75m rands
until 2010; a 2m rands contract with Cricket South Africa, and a 1.2m
rands contract with Glamorgan Cricket in the UK. In addition to this,
there were also unspecified earnings from sponsorships.
