LeBron James Scoffs at Paternity Lawsuit
According to TMZ, a man claiming to be Miami Heat star Lebron James’ father has filed a $4 million paternity lawsuit.
The basketball star has now asked the courts to dismiss the claim.
Leicester Bryce Stovell filed the lawsuit in Ohio court against James and his mother, Gloria, claiming fraud and defamation.
James’ attorneys have asked a judge to dismiss the suit, labeling it “rank speculation.”
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, James’ lawyers scoffed at
“. . . a man who claims that as a 29-year-old lawyer he got a 15-year-old girl pregnant during a one-night stand and who never contributed a penny in child support would earn millions in commercial endorsements by crawling out of the woodwork after the child he never gave a thought to became an NBA star.”
The documents also note the results of a DNA test that show “0 percent probability of paternity.”
