I guess it's possible that this is true, especially considering the Feds found a guy hiding under her bed when they came to search the place after Joe was locked up. So, we know adultery is nothing new to Mrs. Merlino. However, I doubt that Rinnick was trying to "mess up" the Philly Family by saying this, because the former boss' wife's alleged affairs and abortions probably don't have much to do with the day to day business of Ligambi's crew.
