“During her workouts, she even will stop and take a break to go outside and talk on the phone,” the insider told RadarOnline.com.
As previously reported, Lake finalized her divorce from husband Christian Evans last year after a nasty split. Since then, RadarOnline.com has learned from the insider that “Ricki started training because she said she wanted to get a revenge body to make Christian see what he is missing, but she does not want to work at it.”
“It’s sad because she is paying a lot of money for her training and it is just going to waste,” the insider said of Lake, who has an estimated net worth of $15 million. “She cannot even do a squat,” added the source.
