Brazilian model and actress Greice Santo has alleged that Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz offered her "millions" of dollars in exchange for sex in a defamation lawsuit filed by her husband on Monday.

According to Variety's Gene Maddaus, Santo "alleges that she was twice lured to the hotel room of Daryl Katz, the Canadian billionaire who owns the Edmonton Oilers, with promises that he could help her acting career. Santo says that although she spurned Katz’s advances, she later received two wire transfers totaling $35,000."

Katz, who purchased the Oilers in 2008, also helps run Silver Pictures as the company's financier.
