     *Former NBA baller Kenny Anderson has been put on blast for failing to pay child support for any of his seven kids, reports the New York Post.

      Tami Roman, a member of MTV’s “Real World: Los Angeles” cast, is mother to two of Anderson’s four daughters. She tells the New York Post that the athlete hasn’t paid his court-ordered $8,500 per month for Kenni, 10, and Lyric, 11, since May 2005. She says he owes the children about $100,000.

      "You don't just not pay," she told the paper. "If you have $5, if you have $10, you have to take care of your children - $10 will pay for lunch."

       Roman says she may not be able to keep her girls at their exclusive French academy unless her ex-husband pays up.      

       "I sold my Cartier watch so they could finish school last year," she revealed.

       Anderson is currently playing basketball for the Lithuanian team Zalgiris Kunas, where salaries run between $750,000 and $1 million, according to the Post.  The Queens native joined the team in January after failing to get signed in the NBA.       

      Anderson also owes $20,000 in child support to his second wife, Tamiyka Anderson for their 5-year-old son, Kenneth Jr. During both of his first two marriages, Anderson was having a 10-year affair with Suany Castro, with whom he had two sons: another Kenneth Jr., 8, and Devin, 5.

       Both Castro and Tamiyka say they haven’t been paid child support in a while, but Castro tells the Post:  "I have a really good relationship with him. He supports my kids in other ways."

       DJ Spinderella, (a.k.a. Deidre Roper) of Salt-N- Pepa, would not comment on the matter, but was receiving $7,200 a month for Christenese, her daughter with Anderson. The mother of Anderson's oldest daughter, 14-year-old Danielle, could not be reached for comment.
