What are the child support rumors surrounding Washington and Renner?
Renner’s child support rumors resurfaced again after a bitter child support battle with Washington.
The fitness model appeared on DJ Akademiks’ Off The Record to tell her side of the story following the couple's public breakup in the summer of 2022.
An outlet called Fight Script claimed PJ would pay Renner $200,000 a month in child support for the next 18 years.
The tweet read: "PJ Washington is now forced to pay $200k/month in child support over the next 18 years. Ex-wife secretly filed for divorce 2 weeks after giving birth to child."
After the outlet's tweet, Twitter dragged PJ with memes and jokes about his misfortune.
One person jokingly wrote: "PJ Washington gon have to make a couple all star games and all nba teams to people able to make them child support payments… 😭."
Another person chimed in, saying: "BREAKING: Brittany Renner has signed the 18 year $43 million dollar super max contract with PJ Washington's Bank Account."
Meanwhile, some folks on Twitter showed remorse for the young basketball star: "PJ Washington can’t even afford that level of child support for 18 years this is awful."
Renner has since denied the rumors, claiming that she receives significantly less that $200K per month.
As reported by Yahoo! News in August 2022, Renner spoke about the subject on Tonight's Conversation podcast.
She said: "A lot of people think I’m getting X amount in child support, and I don’t have to work, and I don’t have to do all this stuff.
"I very much provide for my child. I’m here right now, my mom is watching my son and I’m here like, doing the d**n thing. I’m doing my best."
"A lot of people judge that, but it’s like, you can’t rely on your child’s father to provide for you, so you have to make a way, you know? So, it’s like, I’ve never been about money, it’s never been about that, but it’s like, especially me not getting $200,000."
The outlet then reported that Renner said if Washington was giving her $200K per month in child support, she "would have all [her] homegirls get pregnant by him."
She continued: "For whatever reason, that number circulates, but I provide for my child. I get $2,500 a month."
