Fergie stands by hubby despite stripper allegations

Melbourne: Fergie is trying hard to save her 11-month-marriage with Josh Duhamel by supporting him over allegations that he had a one-night stand with a stripper.Exotic dancer Nicole Forrester, 34, alleges that the actor seduced her following a series of lap dances at the Tattletales strip club where she performs.

While Josh has denied the claims, Nicole has even reportedly passed a lie detector test undertaken by an expert. But a representative for Josh issued a strong denial. “This isn`t the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity. This story is absolutely ridiculous,” the Daily Telegraph quoted the rep as saying. The Black Eyed Peas singer has since dismissed the cheating reports as ‘nonsense`. While Fergie’s pals have said that she broke down in tears after learning of the story, a source close to the star has claimed that she`s been rocked by the claims. “To say this has thrown her marriage into crisis is an understatement. But Fergie`s a tough girl and she`s determined to pull through. She`s sticking with Josh and has decided to back him to the hilt. “She``s told those closest to her: ‘There`s no way I`m going to let this man go. I love him and he`s too important to me,’” the friend told the News of the World. ANI
