12 Celebs who paid people off to shut up – You will be surprised to see this! (With Pictures)

7. Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez has proven that he’s a player on and off the baseball field, and we wouldn’t be surprised to find out that he’s paid some of his former lovers to stay mum about his personal life. However, it has been proven that Rodriguez paid his cousin, Yuri Sucart, almost $1 million to keep his performance-enhancing drug use a secret. Sucart was Alex’s personal assistant—but he’s also the one who was supplying Rodriguez with the drugs. So, Alex knew that if Sucart squealed on him, they’d both be in trouble. However, it seems like Yuri’s guilt got the best of him, and eventually, everything was out in the open. Sucart had to spend seven months in prison, and Rodriguez was suspended for the whole 2014 season.
