Roger Clemens Revelations
McCready's affair with Roger Clemens, according to the Daily News, began in a Fort Myers karaoke bar when McCready was only 15. Clemens, who has been married to Debbie Clemens since 1984, allegedly partied and lodged with the country music star in New York while he was a pitcher for the New York Yankees. Clemens also allegedly sent McCready bundles of cash to help her out during her recent arrests and incarcerations. Clemens has denied all of the allegations, calling McCready a "close family friend." -
Troubles
However, McCready's subsequent releases never matched the success of Ten Thousand Angels, and after 2000, her personal difficulties overshadowed her work. She was briefly engaged to actor Dean Cain, and in 2006, bore a child, Zander, stemming from her relationship with boyfriend and budding country music artist Billy McKnight. Between 2004 and 2007, McCready was arrested several times, on charges ranging from identity theft to battery and resisting arrest. -
Suicide Attempts
In 2005, McCready alleged on the Oprah Winfrey Show that McKnight was physically abusive and that she had tried to commit suicide by overdosing on prescription drugs.USAToday.com: Mindy McCready Attempted Suicide by Overdose (July 26, 2005)The Daily News reported on December 17, 2008, that McCready had been admitted to a hospital in Nashville with "wounds to her wrists".
