Steeler’s Antonio Brown Ordered To Pay Child Support Even Though He Has Child

The last time we heard about Antonio Brown it was back in January after the allegations from his baby mama Shamieka that he kidnapped his son and she wasn’t allowed to see him. You can read about that story HERE. 10 months after that story dropped, Shamieka’s son is still in Brown’s “custody” but even worse, Shamieka says Brown hasn’t paid child support in 8 months, so a court has ordered he does so.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown can put his new $42-million-contract to good use and finally pay his baby mama all the money he owes her … which is what a judge has ordered him to to.

In legal docs filed in Florida, Shameika Brailsford — who had a child with Brown back in 2007 — claimed the NFL star failed to cough up child support for the last eight months … to the tune of $6,000. Despite Brown’s big payday, his child support obligation is only $750 a month

After reviewing the case, a judge came back last month and sided with Shameika. Brown was ordered to fork over the cash. He was also ordered to follow the custody rules … i.e. let Shameika see her kid. 

As TMZ first reported, Brailsford claimed back in January that AB took their kid to live in Pittsburgh without her permission and was preventing her from making contact.

A permanent solution for custody has yet to be reached.

A lawyer for Antonio Brown tells TMZ the NFL star will be current on his child support this week.

Maybe I’m lost, but if he’s had the child since last year and she hasn’t had the child since, why exactly does she require child support? And why the heck did the judge order he pay her? I agree with the visitation ruling, she should be allowed to see her child, but the fact that the court didn’t order him to give the child back is rather suspicious to me. I’m still not Team Shamieka quite yet. Something in the milk doesn’t seem clean.
