A week of paternity surprises
Surprising celebrity paternity results filled the news this week. One celebrity discovered that he was not the father, another added 2 more children to his family, and a third confirmed paternity of at least 40 children claiming him.
Chris Rock
In a statement issued on August 6, Chris Rock announced that DNA test results showed that he was excluded as the father of his ex-girlfriend’s son. Kali Bowyer approached Rock early this year to request a paternity test for her 13-year-old son, seeking child support and medical coverage for her son. Because Rock is not her son’s father, he is now requesting that any money that Bowyer received for her story be donated to charity.
James Brown
Also on August 6, attorneys handling the estate of the late James Brown announced that DNA tests have confirmed Brown’s paternity of at least 2 more children. Twelve people have come forward since Brown’s death claiming that they were fathered by him, and DNA tests were ordered to confirm their claims. Currently, an undisclosed number of the results have excluded Brown as the father, while a few other DNA tests are still pending.
MKO Abiola
AllAfrica.com reported this week that 113 children have claimed the late Chief MKO Abiola as their father. DNA testing for some of these children has started, and results show that at least 25 children are not biologically related to Abiola, while 40 others were proven to be his children. In addition, 6 other children were claimed in his will. DNA tests are pending for at least 21 more children.
