A MILLIONAIRE banker left his guests stunned when he accused his would-be bride of cheating during a speech at their engagement party.
The groom, Massimo Segre, 64, invited 150 guests for a lavish reception at his mansion in Turin, Italy, to celebrate his upcoming wedding to Cristina Seymandi, 47.

But instead of the heartwarming declaration of love everyone expected, Massimo left everyone speechless when he shockingly accused his fiancee of cheating.
Awkward footage filmed by one of the guests shows an uncomfortable crowd as the groom delivers his speech.
Massimo said: “I want to give Cristina the freedom to love.
“Specifically, to love another person; a notable lawyer, who she clearly cares about more than me.
“Dear Cristina, I know how much you are in love with him mentally and sexually.
“And I know that before him you had a relationship with an industrialist acquaintance.”
The future bride appears in shock as she awkwardly looks at her guests while the crowd remains silent.
Massimo continued: “Don’t think it pleases me to look like a cuckold in front of all of you.
“Cristina is so good at telling her truths, that I couldn’t leave her alone to narrate the reason why I’m ending [our] life together tonight.
“It’s a banal story of infidelity, even premarital. I am so disappointed, I am heartbroken.
The groom concludes by telling his partner to go to Mykonos with her lover as it’s already paid for before walking off the stage.
The pair who had been engaged for three years have since been embroiled in a public spat that has made headlines across Italy.
In a letter to the director of the Zona Bianca TV news programme, Christina said her ex-fiance had committed an act of “psychological violence” and had “meticulously planned his revenge”.
She added that a valuable sapphire ring given to her by Massimo’s mum had “mysteriously disappeared” 15 days before the party.
Speaking to the Times, Cristina’s adviser Luca Poma said she will be taking legal action for “reputational damage.”
“She has suffered very serious attacks on social media and threats from Italian citizens. It has been traumatic,” she said.
While the woman’s lawyer Claudio Strata said Massimo had intentionally humiliated her.
“The letter was read out in front of dozens of people and it was captured in a video that was sent to the newspapers.
“We don’t think this was improvised,” he said.
Meanwhile, Massimo’s lawyers Davide Calcagnile and Daniele Zaniolo have denied he shared the video.
They said in a statement: “Professor Massimo categorically denies having published the video, let alone having allowed it to be filmed.”
And in another twist, Massimo has accused his former partner of taking nearly £600,000 from the couple’s joint bank account.
But Christina claimed the funds were transferred with his consent before their breakup.
