McKnight Ordered to Pay $340K in Child Support

   

*A judge has ordered R&B star Brian McKnight to pay more than $340,000 to a woman who won a ruling naming the singer the father of her teenage son.

Miriam Lee filed paternity and child support documents against the artist in Orange County, Florida last year, claiming her 14-year-old was the product of a brief fling she had with McKnight.

McKnight never filed documents addressing her claim, so the judge has ruled him the father, according to TMZ.com. The artist has now been told he owes 14 years of child support – which amounts to $11,388 a month.

But McKnight isn’t done with fighting the paternity claim; a rep for the star says, “The judgment in Florida was a default judgment made without Brian present. He’s still looking to establish paternity, and is awaiting the results of a recent test.”

    WOW! What a predicament Mr McKnight finds himself in.

  2. He’s with a white woman now and I betcha this claim is from another Becky. Yes, it’s open season on these guys.

    That probably isn’t the only child he has out there outside of his marriage.

    Wow! Well, he certainly should’ve brought his ass to the courthouse to show that he takes it seriously, no matter the outcome.

    DAMMMNNNN!! He just had another paternity suit slapped on him for a one year old child as well, but he showed up for court and agreed to the child support payments…. the baby’s name is Evan Brian McKnight, now this one is 14 years old…. Brian has been a busy muthafukka

    Melody, what does Brian paying child support have to do with the mother being white (supposedly)? I might be wrong, but it really “seems” like you have a strong dislike for white women or anyone white in general. Did one take your man/woman and you have vendetta against all whites?
