Of course not, which is why I'm curious why anyone would object to someone calling this out as what it is.
If one believes the court filings, the agreement was that he gave them much more money than he had to in exchange for taking care of his legal responsibility to provide child support AND for their silence on the matter.
Sure, you could do that legally but it wouldn't stop people from calling it petty which was what someone took issue with. And, as Florio mentioned, I'm curious how they rule regarding the agreement with the kid who was a minor at the time of the deal.
Parents can make legal deals on behalf of children and in this case there was (allegedly) a court-appointed guardian to ensure the child's best interests. The child certainly benefitted from the deal so it would be tough to argue they were treated so unfairly as to nullify a contract.
He'll yea id be vindictive. I paid you millions to keep quiet, no different then if I'd paid you millions for a house. Then you failed to live up to the deal I paid you for. Should I let you off because I'm rich? Not me.
Why would he care about the results of the test? He paid millions assuming he was the father. His wife knows, his kids know, his grandkids know.... so why would he care? The kud was raised with Jerry's money, college with Jerry's money...he won't owe anything penny. So why would he possibly care?
Why should he be blasted for financially supporting the kid and mother for 25 or so years? He had sex and maybe he made it clear he would not be involved in the raising of the kid. But only the woman gets to decide such issues?
You expect it to headline espn nightly? It was all over the place. Hardly swept under any rug... and here it is being discussed, yet again.
The trust payments have already stopped, which is why baby girl tried extortion on Jerry and this whole story went public. Cmon, keep up.
You think suing someone who took millions from you only to break the deal after the payments stopped is "Petty?"
The payments are done, that's why mom and daughter came at Jerry, for more.
No. I’m saying that saying Jerry isn’t petty because he’s a billionaire isn’t true
That is funny how in one post you tell me to "keep up" and then in a subsequent post you demonstrate your ignorance of the situation. When they initially went to Jerry 3 years ago (and including up to the present day), he still owed them more money as per the original deal. The daughter was to be paid lump sums at ages 24, 26 and 28. According to the NY Post, she is 27 so not only is there at least 1 payment still due, there were 2 (possibly 3) payments remaining when they first approached Jones in 2021.
Agree. Florio is stating that a contract doesn't need to be honored when dealing with a person based on their net worth.
Exactly. Recover the money and donate it to charity.
