The "Get Smart" actress - who had been dating the
Italian businessman for four years, but ended the relationship following him
being taken into custody on charges of federal wire fraud conspiracy and money
laundering - admits the incident shock her world.
She told W magazine: "As soon as I found out about
the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a promotional tour for 'Get
Smart. ' And then I spent a week in shock at a friend's house. It's a situation
where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden.
But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug
back under me. One said, 'Go stay at my house.' And Steve Carell, my 'Get Smart'
co-star, stepped up for me during an interview when someone asked a question
about it.
He said, 'At some point you're going to have to talk
about this time in your life. You don't have to do it this week. I'll take care
of anything that comes your way.' "
Rafaello - who has been detained since his June
arrest because he has been unable to raise the 21 million U.S. dollars bail
money - is said to be set to strike a deal with lawyers at the Manhattan
District court today to ensure he only spends five years in federal prison.
