Liza Morales, who has two children with former NBA star Lamar Odom, recently filed a lawsuit against him for failing to pay child benefits. Page 6 reported that the Basketball Wives star filed the lawsuit on May 13, 2021, claiming that Odom had not paid child support since June 2020 and that she was now about to be evicted. In her lawsuit, she alleged that she owed $ 78,000 rent back on her apartment, which she pays $ 5,125 a month. After Morales took the matter to court, Odom decided to speak up. In a long Instagram post, Odom gave Morales a nudge and said she would “do anything for the clout”. He also stated that he always paid child support for his children, but they are now adults.

I had no plans to address this, but I cannot allow bitter women to slander my name.

I have looked after Liza and my children all her life. My children are adults. For the past 18 years I have paid child benefit for CHILDREN on time every month. My children are adults.

I am sad that for the past 15 years Liza has not taken the initiative to find a job and create a source of income for herself, apart from my monthly child benefit payments. She is smart, able, and able to support the lavish lifestyle that she wants to live.

I love my adult children and I will support them and their dreams in every possible way. I pray that Liza will find healing and go to a place of independence.

I am no longer ashamed of my past mistakes. I own who I am and with a clear mind and conscience I will bring my case to court.

Life is too short and insecure for that. Let’s all work to be our best selves.

Odom’s rep told Page 6 that he tried to resolve these issues with Morales privately, but it didn’t work.

“Before Lamar signed up a year and a half ago and the Celebrity Boxing Match to document his recovery and the Celebrity Boxing Match, he coordinated the business so that Morales would remain financially stable during this time,” said the spokesman. “Knowing Morales was seeking her own position in the industry, he helped her get an offer with a sponsor close to $ 100,000. Morales opted for more and damaged the deal, but declined further help before leaving. “

In their 2015 child benefit agreement, it was agreed that Odom would pay $ 6,000 monthly in child benefit, tuition fees, and a $ 9 million life insurance plan premium for his children. Morales is immediately seeking $ 200,000 for financial relief.
