NFL superstar Terrell “T.O.†Owens is $20,000 behind on child support payments and may be facing jail time. Owens, a former wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, did not show uphis child support hearing at the Fulton County Courtroom on Thursday, and Judge John Goger was upset. Owens' attorney, David Hartin, told the judge it was his fault Owens was not there. He said he didn’t communicate well with his client. Melanie Smith, the mother of Owen’s 7-year-old daughter, said he has not made child support payments in months. A previous agreement required Owens to pay Smith $5,000 per month. "It's a tragedy, not only that we are here today; this is the third case she has had to file in the last year," Smith’s attorney Randy Kessler told Byfield. Source: WSBTV.com
5,000 per month, ... that's basically telling other kids that they're not worth that much when all they get is $300 a month, and then because their daddy isn't an NFL player.. and he's not paying child support, they grab butt around the situation.
he has paid enough to put the kid and her mother through college 10 times over, now hes unemployed and the dead beat mom he knocked up wants him behind bars for not supporting her lavish lifestyle? i feel bad for him, hes jsut getting hecked. Owens isnt a stand up guy, but heck her
