Real-Life "50 Shades of Grey" Unfolds in New York

What, this isn't an everyday occurence?

This is what happens when life imitates art. The BDSM relationship between 53-year-old investment banker Edward Sonderling and 27-year-old Frankie Santiago ended in a rather nasty fight and the always-pleasant arrest. Santiago, known in the S&M world as Althea Lyn, was arrested on Monday for blitzing Sonderling with texts and smashing his car window. She was handcuffed in a non-pleasurable fashion following a "knock-down, drag-out" fight at Sonderling's apartment.

Santiago, who was Sonderling's "slave" for three years, reportedly lost it when she found out he was seeing someone else. This explosion is a pretty bad look for Sonderling, who's the CEO of his own investment firm, Priority Investors LLC. Nobody wants their dirty laundry aired out in this fashion.
