Chad Ochocinco has made a name for himself as being very generous when it comes to money but his babymother says Chad is in the red on child support.
Andrea Pearson whom he has a son with, says Chad failed to make a $5,250 payment in April, according to legal docs obtained by TMZ. Her petition for contempt offers the judge several options including, garnishing Chad’s wages, slapping him with a fine, or throwing him in jail.
As was previously reported, Chad’s had money trouble going as far back as 2013 when his expenses far outpaced his income. Back then, he filed a request to have his child support payment reduced since the incident with Evelyn Lozada caused him to get fired from the NFL and lose endorsements. His baby momma responded saying his issues aren’t her fault and she shouldn’t have to pay for them.
Ochocinco has since joked on social media about being unemployed and living a very frugal life.
TMZ reached out to Chad who scoffed at the amount, telling them, “5K? That’s it? All she had to do was call like normal people do. You can always tell who is in it for the money.”
I have to admit, these stories usually arise when hundreds of thousands are owed, Chad only missed one month; it seems like this could’ve been solved in a private way.
