He said, she said, that the move was to allow their children to escape the glare of celebrity and to grow up with a sense of normality. She contends it was really designed to cover his pursuit of Chantal Collopy, a South African whose husband eventually sued Spencer for "enticement and alienation" of his wife's affection. Lockwood's brief describes Spencer as a serial adulterer...
