David Boreanaz Combats Blackmail Attempt by Mistress

David Boreanaz, best known for his role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, went public with an extra-marital affair after Gloria Allred tried to get six figures from him from his mistress.

David admitted to PEOPLE mag he had a relationship with a woman -- NOT RACHEL UCHITEL -- but "She asked for money.  I felt as though I was being blackmailed...."

TMZ knows what went down.  We're told Boreanaz had a short-term relationship with the woman -- one source says they hooked up "2 or 3 times."  Sources say he started paying her money -- several thousand dollars here and there -- but she began demanding more, threatening to go public with the affair.  Boreanaz then confessed the affair to Jaime Bergman, his wife of 9 years.

Enter Gloria Allred, who reps the mistress.  Allred contacted Boreanaz's lawyer -- legal pit bull Marty Singer -- and demanded 6 figures.

Gloria Allred is such an opportunist and a definition of a sleazy.  We are glad that he has came out in the public and admitted to the public about his transgressions.  This is sad that people will try to extort these stars and make money about such a sad situation.

What would you do if you were in this situation?  Why will we do anything just for the sake of money?  What lengths will you go to for the sake of money?  You be the judge.
