Kimberly Bell posed for Playboy in November 2007 and has worked for TASER for three years. The relationship with Bonds became romantic in 1994; and lasted almost nine years.


Bell says Bonds would give her $5K or $10K from time to time.


Bell says "one time" she had a discussion with Bonds about steroids.

He had an injury on his elbow. "He said it was because of steroids."

"It caused the muscle and the tendons to grow faster than the joint itself could handle. It sort of blew out."

Other players "were getting ahead. That’s how they were achieving...Mark McGwire was breaking records."

"He said it helped him recover quicker. It helped other people recover quicker."

"Changes sexually, and in performance."


"The shape, size of his testicles were smaller… He had some trouble keeping an erection. He tried some things to resolve that."

"His chest hair was changing and turning gray so he wanted that gone."

Bonds said to her he would "cut my head off and leave me in a ditch." ; He would cut out my breast implants because he paid for them."

Kimberly Bell, very tearful.

Barry Bonds: “don’t forget to erase your messages, later.”

..... she forgot to erase them, Barry.

It was a nine-year relationship with mistress Kimberly Bell.

On Wednesday of this week, Federal prosecutors released transcripts and recordings of voicemails Barry Bonds left for the former mistress.

The recordings went from nice, to profane, to abusive.

Here is a small sample messages from the leading home run hitter in major league baseball history:

Hello? I’m working out right now, but I’m calling you to wish you a happy, happy, happy, happy Valentine’s, ‘cause you worth all that and all them wishes. Love to you baby, peace.


Hey honey bunny, what’s going on? ... I haven’t called you in a couple of days because I’ve been stuck with one car and I’ve been getting dropped off at the ballpark, and once I get to work, I don’t think about calling nobody.


Yo – pick up the phone. That means you’re not home. That means you’re up to something you ain’t supposed to. I’m supposed to know where you go, later.


I’ll call you a little later after I do this commercial shoot, but they said you were gone, so you better explain to me where the f—- you are!


I’ll find you. Now my blood temperature is rising.


Kim, it’s 6:36. Now I done called three times. You, I mean you can’t even explain it, mother. I’m pissed, ‘cause I already called you at work, so you’re not at f---ing work, either!


Yo! Do not leave that house ‘til you hear from me! Okay? Bye.


Kim, I just paged you, now I’m pissed. F-- it, I don’t give a f-- what, you better just find me. Well, why don’t you just page me, however, I’ll find you. But if I page you, your ass better drop every f--g thing and call me back!

Roid rage? Maybe. This is the loving boyfriend that bought her a house in Scottdale, Arizona plus countless other gifts (other than himself).
