The cheating “Survivor” producer suspected of murdering his wife during their vacation in Mexico reportedly wrote a series of e-mails about an affair he was having that later left his marriage on the rocks.
Authorities now are looking into whether they may shed light on the slaying.
In a series of shocking e-mails, Bruce Beresford-Redman, who is the only suspect in the murder of his wife Monica, detailed his affair with Joy Pierce — even beating himself up and expressing anger at his wife, RadarOnline reported today.
“I told you that I would not leave my family. That was true and honest I was not misleading you,” Bruce wrote in an e-mail to Joy. “Then that changed and I told you that I didn’t feel I would be happy without you and that I was going to leave my family so that we could be together.”
The e-mails are dated through last month — just weeks before Monica’s death.
“Clearly I am a piece of s–t. What I did to Monica was lousy and as you know it required me to lie to her for months,” Bruce wrote in one e-mails.
“In fact her hatred for you (which was wholly unjustified for years) has had me lying to her wherever you were concerned for years.
“She [Monica] has denied me access to my children (and continues to do so), she has shut me out of my home, she has liquidated all my money and going even further than I thought she would she has alleged at my daughter’s school that I am abusive and unfit and should not be allowed to pick up my daughter.”
Monica’s body was found two weeks ago — on her 42nd birthday — stuffed in a sewer 80 yards from their room at the five-star Moon Palace in Cancun.
Police in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo revealed that blood was found in their room and the outside hallway and Beresford-Redman, 38, had suspicious scratches on his face.
Beresford-Redman was originally arrested, but was later released. He is currently not allowed to leave Mexico as investigators continue to look into the murder.
The couple also has two kids, ages 2 and 5.
In an interview that aired today on ABC’s :”Good Morning America,” Monica’s sister, Jeane Burgos, said she wants whoever is guilty of the murder to go to prison.
“We want justice,” she said.
Her mother, Ely Burgos, said the marriage between her daughter and reality TV pioneer was “not going very well” lately.
“He had a mistress and things were in disarray,” she said.
As for the e-mails, the love triangle deepened at one point when Monica began writing to Pierce — leaving Beresford-Redman feeling betrayed by both women, according to e-mails obtained by RadarOnline.
“Monica is texting you again with questions and details — AND YOU ARE ON HER SIDE,” Bruce wrote as he attached an e-mail he found from Joy to his wife, Monica.
Throughout his e-mail to Joy he describes her as his “little wing”, himself “buckethead,” and what they shared together as “Ride or Die,” RadarOnline reported.
In an e-mail from the Brazilian-born Monica to Pierce, Monica said her hubby is “a liar” and is “so manipulative” that she “wants to expose him, so he can feel stupid.” Monica also makes reference to the fact that she’d recorded conversations of Bruce’s from inside his car. “This is my embarrassing husband, and even more for being the father of my kids.”
Pierce was a Los Angeles-based casting director and worked on many projects with Beresford-Redman, according to RadarOnline. Her credits include such reality hits as “Oprah Winfrey’s Big Give,” “The Contender” and “Dance War.”
In a bizarre e-mail sent to both Pierce and his wife, Beresford-Redman seemed to backtrack his love for his mistress — saying that their relationship was a mistake and he wants to salvage his marriage.
“Our relationship was a mistake and is over. I am committing myself to being a husband and father and am making a number of changes in my life,” he wrote. “I am going to write to many women who I am inappropriate with and tell them that I am making changes too,” Bruce wrote, noting that he had been unfaithful with more than just one woman. “I am going to get therapy for being a liar.”
