That doesn’t make a difference in my opinion.
So you don't support a person's need and right to be acknowledged? You support a scumbag who pays hush money to keep things quiet and not be the father of a child he helped to conceive? Cool.
I'm not saying she's a saint. I'm not saying she isn't motivated by money and that she just wants acknowledgement. I don't know her motivations. I do however know his. So while her actions are questionable and fishy...his are rock solid rotten.
She wasn't old enough to enter into a legal agreement. She's an adult now and can disclose because she wasn't the one that made the agreement in the first place. He can certainly cut off the money supply. Both have that right. It doesn't change the fact that he is scum. That's my point. I'm not sure why you're defending him to any degree.
