Dwight Howard Suing Baby Mama For $9.2 Million!

Dwight Howard isn’t playing with the mother of his 2 year-old son. He wants $500 for each time her “Dwight bashing” has been viewed online :

Another Orlando sports superstar is trying to clear his name. Eyewitness News discovered Dwight Howard filed two lawsuits in Orange County court this week against the mother of his child. One lawsuit seeks $9.2 million in damages and the other seeks increased custody of his 2-year-old son.

Dwight Howard has made his name and his $14 million-a-year salary on the court. Now he’s trying to clear his name by seeking millions in court. In documents obtained by Eyewitness News (read them), Howard is asking for $9.2 million for damages caused to his name and image over the Internet with comments like Dwight “has another baby in Atlanta,” “he is raunchy” and “he hasn’t shown up for his visitation in damn near three months.”

Royce Reed, who’s accused of writing the comments or encouraging others to, reportedly met Howard when she was a Magic dancer and the two had a son but never married. Eyewitness News tried to talk with her about the lawsuits, but her brother said he hadn’t seen her.

“I have no idea where she is. She hasn’t spoken at all,” he told WFTV reporter Greg Warmoth.

Reed’s attorney would not comment about the lawsuits. Howard’s attorney acknowledged the court filings this week and did say they are in an effort to protect Dwight’s image as a person, a player and a father. Eyewitness News found in the document fear that disparaging remarks could damage Dwight’s relationship with the companies he endorses, including Adidas and McDonald’s. Part of the $9.2 million in damages is a math formula, where Dwight is asking for $500 per disparaging remark already posted online multiplied by the 17,410 times they have been viewed.

Wow.

    @ Cadillac REcords……you flew off the handle with that one….if you’re trying to prove a point, bring it a lil more conservatively….YES most black women’s reps are known for popping out babies, Im thinking about askin one to be a surrogate some day (since it seems to be their 2nd nature) but dont call them out like that sheeesh

    Now I know why black men date white women (though I know you are simply a poser to create drama)…..just go back and read your own post.

    You cant even write a comprehensive post! Jeez!

    That goes to show how dumb you are and just proves my point that black men only go for white women because you lack any real challenges. A black man can HAVE you.

    This is stupid. All men and women need to have a relationship agreement. Point Blank. I had my man sign one before we moved in together. It was fair and balanced and protected both of us especially my finances. These stupid men will learn one day. Oh and these stupid chicks…..if you had to get pregnant before marriage to get married, secure an 18 year pay check or fulfill some sort of ensecure void in your life by trapping a man with a baby then you need to seek a mental health professional. Stupid girls and boys.

  • eveinthegarden

    Vindictiveness is a wasted emotion. This mother is messing with her child’s father’s livelihoood which is messing with HER LIVELIHOOD because she probably lives off the support. People that cant keep their emotions in check are ignorant. At some point you have to grow the f up and think like an adult. DHoward has every right to deal with her this way.

    To all these little silly white women who think they are doing something by being with black men….guess what we don’t give a damn! Yall can have them. I love being an independent black women, and nobody can take that away from me. Black women are strong, with or without a man.

  • tamrock

    This woman wants him to be a better father, understandable. Black men aren’t capable of sticking around to raise kids-just not something they do. Produce babies, drink 40s, listen to rap and play sports. That’s why I would NEVER have a child with one….

Some people just dont know when to shut up – just because you have a mouth doesn’t mean it always have to be yappying and just becuase you have an opioion doesn’t mean you need to speak on it. Words are poison, it is easy to be taken over by emotions but a real woman shuts up and carries on with class and dignity.

    ——————————-

    True most of the time. I know brothers who have quit good jobs in order NOT to pay child support. Just crazy. There are two sides to every story and for one…I think Dwight is a hypocrite. Mr. Christian Boy suppose to be saving it for marriage and out of the blue, a cheerleader turns up pregnant with his child. I just hope he takes care of his kid FIRST instead of trying to seek revenge against the mother.

  • Kigali

    @Jovah,

    The number of brothers you know who quit jobs because they didnt want to pay child support pales in comparison to the number black African queens who get knocked up to give birth to a check from her baby daddy or the government.

  • Kigali

    Dwight should get full custody, send that kid to boarding school when older, and dont give that chick a dime. Tell her to get a job.

    ________________________________________________

    Why doe she need to send his son away to boarding school. He was raised corrrectly by his family so why wouldhis family help him raise his son instead of someone else who could care less about the nurturing of thie young child? So what you are saying it is beter to be away from both parents instead of being raised by a father who is more than capable of raising his own son?

  • truth

    My question is how is the son going to feel when he get older. enough said. I guess his endorsement deal is more important. he could have file a lawsuit to stop her if she was doing that. 9.2 million is alot of money.

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Isn’t it true that if you make a kid, you should support it. Financially and spiritually and emotionally but also physically. If he has not heard from his daddy in over three months during his formulative years, the babies mama should call him out. Here’s a thought Dwight, stop making babies with cheerleaders and dancers. Stop going up in girls raw. Stop listening to your agents and advisors, trying to hook you up with becky’s, convincing you that the sisters aren’t good enough. All of this drama cannot possibly be good for the baby in the long run. And since you are trying to protect your image, stop doing dumb ish like this and your image won’t be tarnished.

    Keep your business at home. I, for one, am so tired of hearing about baby mama/ baby daddy drama. If this teaches some people to chose more wisely when laying down with someone then more power to Dwight.

  • Kigali

    @dot dash dot,

    Sorry but that child isnt the property of his mother. That child has his fathers last name. Boarding school isnt the issue you idiot. The relationship of the parents is very important in how the child develops. There is no wonder why father visitation correlates negatively for children because it is characterized by anxiety and drama between the parents.

    Boarding is a great idea because the father travel a lot, the mother is in all cases malicious, and while there he can enjoy the experience being educated among different nationalities, learn sports, new language, and the expectation of the students are ridiculously high and lets not mention the fact that the alumni for top tier boarding schools always have a special place at elite universities.

    Now I know this black African queens pockets is of your higest concern but so what.

  • 4Real247

    This woman should not tuck tail and run. She should go to a powerhouse like Attorney Gloria Allred to put him in his place. Other women came out about David Letterman, Tiger Woods, Shaq, Kobe, etc. What makes Dwight Howard thinks that he is above the truth or any of the others that have had the truth bought to light? If you are a pi*ss*ed-poor excuse for a father, then people should know about it. Why should you be presenting a big lie to world to get paid for being this good family & guy? I hope she gets a good attorney or call up someone like Gloria Allred and make him step up & shut and the judge throw out foolishness that will not allow this woman to express her anger & dismay of having to deal with raising his child all by herself while he pretends to be the so-called Christian of a good-guy. I even bought into the lie. Now to find out he frequented strip clubs and impregnated a stripper, I realize he too is a big liar. I do not want to buy products based on a big lie and false image. She is doing the right thing by telling the truth. Step up to the plate Dwight Howard & stop pretending to be this Christian-like Family Man. We are no longer fools that will continue buying into your image now that the truth is out.

  • flawda

    lol at everyone attacking Cadillac and avoiding the real issue, these gold digging hoes. I don’t even know why these rich dudes mess with women who aren’t on their level financially; if i am rich i’m hollering at Deborah Lee, Oprah,etc. Not no 9-5 type broad who is tryna come up, marry on your level.

  • Real Talk 2

    @Kagali

    Boarding School is nothing more than an orphanage to educate rich kids. Where is the interaction in everyday life to be loved, hug, and encouraged by family members? Boarding School cannot emulate real family or the love from real family. Just like most boarding school kids, this child too would be screwed up, self-centered, unable to trust and truly love someone due to the feeling of abandonment of loved ones while at boarding school. Everything is robotic. You children are told when to get up, eat, do homework, etc. by some stranger who has no interest in forming emotional attachment to those children. It’s simply a teaching job for them that pays well, hopefully. Where is the child’s best interest? Again, Boarding Schools for young children are simply an orphanage, to me, where self-absorbed or selfish, career-oriented people dump their kids and see them about every 3, 4, or 6 months. This young child needs a nanny, pre-school and his Father who will not make time for him. This will also allow the mother a chance to clean up and get her act together to become a decent mother for the child. She needs to be in counseling and college, while the child is in daycare or preschool.

  • Paps

    True most of the time. I know brothers who have quit good jobs in order NOT to pay child support. Just crazy.
    ———————————-

    Ummmmm I call bullshyt on your story. If a bruh is smart enough to have a good job, then he’s also smart enough to know that quitting your job does not relieve you of your child support obligations. It just puts you in arrears. Your obligation only gets lowered if you are LAID OFF from your job and cannot find work within your field. (and that’s a big if because it still depends on what judge you are in front of)

  • Kigali

    @Get cha weight up,

    No these black females dont get pregnant by emmaculate conception. They get pregnant by REFUSING to use birth control. Maybe they should ask Tiger’s h** how they stayed child free when he wasnt wearing a condom.

  • Liya

    Is she even worth 9.2 million dollars?

  • dot dash dot

    @ Kigali,

    You are the idiot. I never said in my statement that the mother should have custody or anythign about her getting her pockets full. My opinion was with your statement about boarding school. So you say send the child away from all family including his who could be there for the child as well as the father himself. When you see kids who have gone to boardign school and I have met many, they are distant fromt eh family because they have been gone and have not expericenced everyday happeneings of the family whether good or bad. Do I think that he should be with his father? I cannot say because I do not know what, if anythng she has done to the child. If he is the better parent and can provide a stable home then yes he should have custody.

    _____________________________________________

    I guess you didn’t hear about the one who was trying to get pregnant with his child. She would plan her “visits” with Tiger around the time she was ovulating. Now if that is not a gold digger who was trying as she said to be set for life, I don’t know what is.

    Which proves my other point about so-called accidental pregnancies. LOL.

  • Kigali

    @dot dash dot,

    Boarding school children are a very small percentage of kids in our society. Who is to stay that those children, even if they didnt go off to school would be estranged for their family. You dont think there are kids everyday with their families who dont receive love, who dont like their families, who are distant from them? Perhaps that was just their personality. In any event, I ask you and the other idiot, please who what kinds of damage to society are being done by boarding school children compared to those who see their single mothers everyday?

    Kigali,

    _____________________________________________

    Yeah, that’s right lol about it. But she proved that women of all colors and races look to trap men when it comes to thinking they will be taken care of for life. I am hoping that you were joking saying that Tiger’s white woman was trying to accidentaly get pregnant. Well it came out of her mouth that she was trying on purpose

    It’s one thing to defend ur name and image; but Dwight appears to be going overboard with the amount he is pursuing.

    If this was only about his name and image; then why pursue a ridiculous sum of money, which he damn well knows he ain’t gonna collect.

    He should have done his homework, and if accurate, served her with a cease and desist order….

    It’s one thing to try ‘n squash some damaging noise, and a whole other to try and squash a person.

    It’s all petty and immature!

  • TheOriginalBlkBarbie

    As if this girl has the money to pay him. She was a dancer…not a self-made entrepreneur. He needs to just continue taking care of his child and ignore her slander. I doubt it seriously harmed him. Give me a break.

    On a side note, he has a nice physique. Very nice.

    On the real brothers and sisters. Take it from a guy who was once lost and have now been found. Only a weak azz brother would want a becky. I used to be a weak azz brother. Becy cannot and I repeat cannot do a damn thing for me. I can see where brothers fall into the trap and usually it comes from a bad relationship with a sista. But for every bad siata and brotha out there. There are ten good ones and you just have to explore different avenues to locate that king or queen of your life. But Becky is not the answer and I hope some of you brother have your awakening! Peace and Blessings be Upon you all!!

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    It really sickens me to hear people shame their own race of people. Taking pride in dating white girls or asians or hispanics, but yet say disparaging remarks about sisters. The only defense for this is to cut the brothers off who think that white is right. Prior to getting married, I would not date a black woman who didn’t show honor and pride towards her race. I am by no means a racist, I just understand that we (black people) were and are God’s first human creation. The Bible will tell you this, the Koran will tell you this and just about every religion if you search hard enough. If you look into Cro Magnum Man and Woman you will find out that Lucy (ancient mummy over 10,000 years old from Africa) is at least 4000 years older than the (Ancient white mummy found in North America representing the white race. The cycle is not yet complete, we as black people ruled the world at one time, chinese, asian, italian, german all had their day, now it’s the white mans turn. His time slot will soon be up and he is doing whatever it takes to extend that time. After every race has been given it’s chance, THEN WE WILL SEE GOD IN ALL OF HIS MAGNIFICENT POWER!

  • prettyeyedgirl

    You have black men out here that will date and continue to rage against black women and get with white women no matter what; even if it KILLS them. McNair and Henry and others are examples. But what they also need to know is not ALL black women care about them being with non black women; I for one do not and since I prefer and am MARRIED to a loving white man, I never did.

    if you want to be fake and full of b.s. to black women, use some proper spelling. everyone knows you’re some black chick behind the computer screen, writing all that crap

    It is obvious the you want to be me a BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN!
