Grant has denied leaking the audio and claims in documentation that her husband, should the tapes be leaked, had planned two and a half years ago to use allegations of a leak against her in court. Documentation, obtained by People, reads: 'Faye has known for over 2 ½ years that in the event that the recording should find its way into the public arena, that would constitute a further breach of her fiduciary duty, and Stephen would seek to hold her accountable for the damages sustained as a result of her conduct in this regard.'

Grant and Collins have been married since 1985 and have one daughter together. Collins was previously married before in the 1970s. Collins' divorce from Grant, when proceedings resume in January, is likely to garner further media attention owing to the allegations Collins faces.
