Eva Longoria Parker’s husband Tony Parker was "shocked" at accusations he cheated on his new wife - branding those who spread the allegations "wicked".

Basketball player Parker faced allegations of infidelity in December last year (07) with a model he is alleged to have met at his Paris, France wedding to the actress in July (07).

But the San Antonio Spurs star denied the claims and has started legal proceedings against the bosses of Los Angeles news and photo agency X17online.com for making the allegations public.

And he insists the claims have only made him more determined to protect himself from any future damning personal accusations.

He says, "It’s the most bizarre episode in my life. I’ve never hired an attorney in my life, and then all of a sudden, in two weeks, there’s three totally false charges brought out. What shocked me the most was the wickedness of people. Without doubt, I’m going to have to protect myself a little more."
