Leah Ignagni a Big Controversial Addition to the Steve McNair - Sahel Kazemi Tragedy

Leah Ignagni is the center of media frenzy. Leah Ignagni is a mistress of Steve McNair. Leah Ignagni could be the reason Sahel Kazemi killed the former Tennessee Titan on the Fourth of July.

The death of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi was a bit unorthodox. The death of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi was ruled a murder-suicide, which Sahel Kazemi being the gun woman. Leah Ignagni was never mentioned in the McNair saga, until now.

According to CBS News, Leah Ignagni was another "other woman". You see, Steve McNair was married. Sahel Kazemi was his mistress, and Leah Ignagni was another mistress. Steve McNair's "love triangle" was really more like a "love polygon".

Leah Ignagni told police that a woman in a car matching the description of that of Sahel Kazemi was following her a few weeks prior to McNair's untimely death. Sahel Kazemi became suspicious of Leah Ignagni - or any other "other woman" for that matter - when she found a tampon in McNair's bathroom.

Although we will never know the true events leading up to the death of Sahel Kazemi and Steve McNair, it's understandable to suspect that McNair's relationship with Leah Ignagni played a role in his death.

Police have speculated that Sahel Kazemi killed Steve McNair because of money problems, stress, and jealousy. The addition of Leah Ignagni to the twisted tale adds a new element. Was Steve McNair ready to get rid of Sahel Kazemi in favor of Leah Ignagni? Did Steve McNair want a relationship with both women, despite Sahel's hesitance?

With all the talk about Sahel Kazemi and Leah Ignagni, we forget one crucial point of the story: Steve McNair was married. With children. Can you imagine the pain that his wife must feel hearing the details of her late husband's relationship with Sahel Kazemi and Leah Ignagni? I can't. She doesn't even have any way of knowing what is true and what is not.

Sahel Kazemi was a beautiful young woman. Steve McNair was a talented man. Their loss is tragic, and should have never happened.

Every time we hear a new piece of news regarding the Steve McNair saga, especially when the news of another "other woman" such as Leah Ignagni comes up, it's like opening new wounds.

We all feel for the families of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi. We now feel for Leah Ignagni, as she must feel awful for losing Steve and feeling guilt about his death.
