Oh JR, gotta pay those bills! JR Smith was sued by a jewelry company for a Black Jesus piece and now he has to pay up! Details after the jump…
Via TMZ:
Don’t mess with Black Jesus … or YOU WILL PAY … just ask Knicks stud J.R. Smith, whose ass just lost a $48,000 lawsuit involving a diamond necklace that features an Afro-American rendition of the messiah.
A jewelry company called Lemmerman’s sued Smith, claiming he ordered a bunch of bling back in 2010 — including a diamond chain, two Black Jesus pendants and some earrings — totaling $25,500 … but never paid.
We’re told one Jesus pendant and chain cost roughly $15,000 alone.
Lemmerman’s sued for $48,101 — which includes the jewelry bill plus interest and attorney’s fees — but Smith never responded to the suit … so a judge ruled in Lemmerman’s favor.
Smith has now been ordered to pay the $48,000 asap … or else. Calls to Smith’s people weren’t returned.
