Under cross-examination by Mr Bell’s lawyer Ian Temby Ms Landry agreed that she was upset that her husband did not thank her during a speech at the crew’s lunch in Hobart after the win on December 28 last year.
During a furious text exchange with her husband at 10pm that evening she wrote, “I know about Erin,” and then, “just saw her run to you.”
Ms Landry confirmed she was referring to Footy Show host Erin Molan.
Mr Temby asked her, “ Did you at the time suspect your husband of infidelity with that woman”?
“I suspected something was going on between them but not necessarily infidelity, I thought their relationship was odd,” she said.
The court heard that Bell texted back: “Not wearing that” and “I’m calling her now to tell her of your accusations because it is not fair to her or me for that matter”.
Landry later texted “Whatever Ant, your behaviour and accusations after everything I have done for your is unacceptable. So beyond wrong.”
Ms Molan has vigorously denied that she was having an affair with Mr Bell and is engaged.
Earlier Ms Landry alleged her husband “funnelled” his tax through her in court.
Mr Temby asked her about whether Bell paid her tax bill of $89,000 in the middle of 2016.
“Only a small amount of that was my tax, I haven’t been employed since 2011 so how can I accumulate all of that tax?” She asked.
She said that for several years he “funnelled” tax through her.
