Sister of tennis great Andre Agassi faces bankruptcy as she’s slapped with $10.7M suit over ex-husband’s crimes: ‘He screwed me’
The older sister of tennis legend Andre Agassi faces a multi-million-dollar lawsuit, could lose her home and is on the brink of bankruptcy ever since she hitched her wagon to a would-be convicted conman over two decades ago.
Tami Agassi’s life was plunged into chaos in 2017, when her luxury hotel developer husband, Lobsang Dargey, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and concealing material information from federal authorities — leaving her to face the $2.7 million suit related to a busted land deal.
“He painted himself as a very honest, honorable person. Hard working and highly intelligent, of the utmost moral character. That’s what he presented himself as,” Tami exclusively told The Post. “What he came to be was very different. Very cunning, calculated and manipulative.”
Tami met “charming” Dargey at a charity event in Seattle in the early 2000s, admitting that she found her would-be husband’s apparent honesty refreshing.
He claimed he did not know of Andre Agassi’s glittering tennis career, which included eight Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal. But Dargey’s seeming naivety masked his true motives.
“He kept up the act for a while,” she said. “And then he pretended he just discovered it, and acted mad at me that I didn’t tell him. He was very angry.”
