Tichina Arnold, known for her work in Martin and Everybody Hates Chris, is reportedly ending her three-year union with Rico Hines after an alleged pattern of "unprotected" instances of cheating, TMZ reports. Arnold reportedly sent a sex tape of her cheating husband in a group text including multiple members of her family and several friends, allegedly adding that she "can't for the life of me understand why Rico would video himself fucking 'raw dog'" during what she describes as one of many sexual conquests.

Many of these encounters, 20 of which Arnold reportedly named in the group text, involved no protection. "This is a private and deeply personal matter between my wife and me," a spokesperson for Hines tells TMZ. "I do not want to comment any further at this time." Though no divorce documents have been confirmed, Arnold is believed to be putting an end to the marriage.

Arnold played Pam on the iconic Martin series from 1992 to 1997, later landing in Chris Rock's semi-autobiographical Everybody Hates Chris. She currently stars as Cassie Calloway on the Starz series Survivor's Remorse, set to return later this year.
