Woman Must Pay Fine in Paternity Suit Against Michael Jordan
Pamela Smith lied about the basketball icon fathering her son.
Pamela Smith was ordered by a judge to pay Jordan's legal fees of $9,704.13, according to TMZ. Smith was demanding a DNA test, full custody and child support from Jordan for her 17-year-old son.
But the judge found that Smith made the entire story up, calling the claim a publicity stunt as she hired a publicist before a lawyer to make her case. Also, the paternity of Smith's son had been determined in 2003, a fact that she conveniently left out.
