NBA player Chris Bosh is being accused of neing a dead- deat dad to his four-month-old daughter Trinity Meyers Mathis. According to court documents, Chris has only seen his daughter twice, both times in a hotel room.
Via The Star:  Chris Bosh, the face of Toronto’s struggling NBA franchise, is being cast in U.S. court documents as a deadbeat father who broke up with his girlfriend when she was seven months pregnant, leaving her destitute and without medical care even as she fell ill.

The court documents, filed in Maryland on behalf of Bosh’s former live-in girlfriend, Allison Mathis, who is seeking child support and sole custody, allege that in early 2008 Mathis and Bosh planned to get married. According to the filings, whose allegations have been denied by Bosh, they made a consensual decision to have a child together and Bosh, who is earning a salary of $14.4 million (U.S.) this season, paid for a fertility drug to hasten the process.

Not long after Mathis conceived – at last year’s NBA all-star weekend in New Orleans, according to a sworn affidavit signed by Mathis – the couple moved into a jointly owned $1.6 million home in Frisco, Tex.
But upon Bosh’s return from the Beijing Olympics in August of last year, the player signalled his intention to, according to the complaint, “move on” from the relationship. With Mathis seven months pregnant it is alleged Bosh stopped supporting her financially and attempted to have her removed from their home.

  • Joy says:

    What do she do for a living?

  • Lisette says:

    There is no reason a multi-millionaire cannot take care of his child.

  • Lacy says:

    Thats sad! She was with him before the Fame and now he kicks her to the curve for a $2.00 h#@

    It happens all the time Black Men will walk away from a Black woman’s child, But look at Baby Face right there with his baby Mama and her Mama too. Kobe took care of his wife Vanessa and her Mama too. Chris looks like an animal with his hair like this, and acting like an animal. Take care of your child,

  • Nannette says:

    @ Joy what difference does it make what she did for a living, Kobe married Vanessa who without doing anything, And Babyface has a baby by a back up dancer. When it’s a black woman we go hard on her. He need to take care of his child.

  • brandi says:

    what does it matter what she does for a living? he has a child he should take care of.

  • Nannette says:

    Q brandi, As you can see it’s easier said than done,

  • Mel says:

    I live in Toronto and my husband knows the Raptors and the players well. Let me tell you that Chris Bosh is a stand up type of guy. He is all over the local community helping children, there is no doubt in my mind that he has been talking care of his daughter since before she was born.

    The author this that orginally broke this case/story likes to dig up dirt that does not exist. Dave Feschuck.

    BCK needs to do reseach before posting some stories!

    Theres is another story written by Michale Grange of the Globe and Mail you should post as well.

    Oh please she was not wit him before he got money…and I know him personal and that is not the situation…I agree wit mel he is a great guy I think she just tryin to get more out of him than just taking care of his baby…which prolly won’t happen…lol..

  • lia says:

    Everyone who states that they know Chris, have you asked him if he has paid his child support? Have you been with him when he went to make a payment? If not then how can you say with any certainty that he makes those child support payments? I broke up with the father of my son 7 almost 8 years ago, and he is the sweetest person when it comes to taking care of children that don’t belong to him but his first born child who is named after him he refuses to take care of because I no longer want to be with him. Some men are dirty, who’s to say Chris isn’t? Why does the woman always have to be out for more money? Why can’t people see the struggle that single mother’s go through because of dead beat fathers who get to go on with their lives and impregnate the rest of the population?
