OT: Blake Griffin Is A Scum Bag?

[macNcheese3]

Seems like the general consensus is that he’s scum.

I got 1 thing to say

it's easy to file a lawsuit and say whatever you want, especially if you're an nba star's ex-wife/girlfriend

take her words with a grain of salt. She wants some money and she knows she can get some

This is what i was thinking.

We haven't heard Blake's side of the story, so until then, im going to think she is a gold digger.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say she probably wanted money and security so she had kids with Blake and he found out
that it was all a sham so he decided to part ways.

She also has a child with former NFL QB Matt Leinhart. lol

Talk about scoring big

Makes her claim of being homeless in out of money sound dubious.

They left out the part where she refused to sign a prenup and he called off the wedding. I don't blame him tbh

Depends on the prenup. If it denied her support if she dumps him with no evidence of infidelity or abuse, then yes she should have signed, otherwise no. He shouldn't be able to dump her for someone else and then not give her support. I know regular blokes who have to give up half of what they make and the split wasn't their fault or what they wanted. When you have children with another, that's the way it is.

Just call me bloke.

Also, this guy shilled to win a dunk contest which should have belonged to DeRozan. So, yes he is scum.

I thought JaVale McGee won... easily.

Oh , like having 2 kids
There is 2 sides to the story
The wife and the kids
And what did the kids do to deserve this????

So the parents split up and it’s automatically Blake’s fault? Are you gonna act like you know how their relationship was?

You missed my point entirely
The 2 sides to the story are not about the parents
The 2 sides are 1} about the wife 2} about the kids
Blake is not supporting his kids hense my comment
And what did the kids do to deserve this????
His ex was likely a goldigger
But his kids need to be cared for, especially since their dad
likely has more money than he will ever spend

This is so unlike most people. She is going to get an astronomical amount of money. He is still going to have a lot of money left.

What I wonder about is palimony suits and do they have to cohabitate or what. The whole issue of a palimony suit just makes money for divorce attorneys.

What should happen is he should be docked a certain amount for child support and and that's it.

I wish the poster put the tmz link above the post. It woulda saved me from reading that. It sounds like a woman scorned to me. We already know Blake is a tool. Anyway how bout those raptors?

It's definitely a woman scorned. The law is the only thing that matters.

Griffin will pay an amount that is tied to whatever state the mother filed in, I'm assuming California. He's going to be a lot better off financially just paying child support than if a palimony suit is successful.

wtf. Well If he pays child support that’s what he has to do. It does not say he doesn’t pay child support. It says she’s suing him because she believes she’s entitled to be treated like they were married or common law wife, and she wasn’t. She wants alimony not just child support.

I’m not for having children out of wedlock (or whatever commitment it is), because this is what happens, people break up, but how is Blake griffin a scumbag here - it seems he owes her nothing but owes his children child support, which it appears he pays since it’s not mentioned. She wants more is all.

TMZ is a joke. You better believe it’s written to mislead without being factually incorrect. Palimony or alimony is not child support btw.

I read this the same.

She wants more.

While I won't support the juvenile way a lot of people are posting in this thread, it seems that those defending Blake and/or questioning her motives may have a leg to stand on.

Borrowed from a smart/respected poster on another forum that I visit:

He called off the wedding when she refused a prenup.
He filed for joint and physical custody of the children.
He had a shared bank account with $20K/mnth for her and the children and provided her with a credit card without limit.
He was prepared to agree to pay $250K+/mnth in child support prior to her filing this lawsuit.
He filed a restraining order against her where she couldn't leave the state with the children without his consent.

Seems to me that ongoing $20K a month and an offer of $250K a month in support is fairly generous and more than enough to raise the kids in a happy, healthy way. Filing for joint custody and wanted protections against her leaving the state aren't things that a derelict parent would do. The main thing seems to be the prenup, which if you're a millionaire athlete is just a smart thing to do, especially when she has a previously failed relationship with another pro athlete. It spells out how things will go in the event of a failure in the relationship and doesn't have to be viewed as an evil thing. It seems she simply wants to reserve the right to chase him for as much as possible, rather than have a set amount she will get.

As for the claims of being homeless - she would have to be completely derelict in her responsibilities as a parent if she allowed that to happen after having the financial supports in place that she did.


As for getting involved with a Jenner... I'm thinking part of the appeal is that her family has their own money, she's successful on her own, and the relationship has little or nothing to do with whether he can support her lifestyle goals. It's more a meeting of equals than one of dependence, which if you're sick of the one kind of relationship might be appealing.

250k a month is 3M a year. That sounds more than generous.

But guess what? Two kids is close to 50%. It's at least 40%. If Blake Griffin is making 15 or 20 million a year, homeboy could have to pay 6 to 9 million a year.

He is going to end up paying more than 3 million a year.

yea on the internet. i havent heard any of his former teammates call him scum ive heard quiet the opposite. seems like a down to earth kid from what his teammates say.

Maybe so, but Griffin was gifted a place in the final over DeRozan. DeRozan had the only 50 score to that point. We don't know what DeMar had planned.

Maybe some members of the Clippers staff don’t have the same opinion.

As I understand it, the concept behind palimony is that a partner gives something up as part of the relationship - e.g., career opportunities, etc. - for the other partner and, when the relationship breaks down, is entitled to some compensation. See e.g., the description on the government of Canada's website for when spousal support is justifiable:

Judges must consider a number of factors when deciding if a spouse should get support after a divorce. These factors include:

the financial means and needs of both spouses;
the length of the marriage;
the roles of each spouse during their marriage;
the effect of those roles and the breakdown of the marriage on both spouses' current financial positions;
the care of the children;
the goal of encouraging a spouse who receives support to be self-sufficient in a reasonable period of time; and
any orders, agreements or arrangements already made about spousal support.
