Deadbeat Parents: 14 Celebs Who Reportedly Had Trouble Making Child Support Payments

Levi Johnston -- who had a baby with then-girlfriend Bristol Palin back in December 2008 -- reportedly owed her more than $38,000 in unpaid child support after going 22 months without making a payment. A source told Us Weekly in May 2012, "Levi made more than $1 million and squandered it on guns, boats and four-wheelers."

In December 2012, the Associated Press reported that former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman was found in contempt of court and ordered to pay half of a million dollars in back child support to his ex-wife, Michelle Rodman. Earlier that year, the basketball player was ordered to perform more than 100 hours of community service for missed payments in 2009 and 2010. Michelle first filed for divorce back in 2004. The former couple made attempts at reconciliation over the years, but they split for good in April 2012. The Rodmans have a son and a daughter together.

Bobby Brown -- who was famously married to the late Whitney Houston for 15 years -- has a history of skipping out on his child support payments. The R&B singer/songwriter served jail time for the missed payments on several occasions, including in 2007 when he spent three days in a county jail for owing nearly $20,000 in child support and court fees to his ex, Kim Ward. He was bailed out by Washington D.C.-area radio station Hot 99.5 FM in exchange for a week of interviews and appearances. Brown has five children with four women, including one daughter, Bobbi Kristina, with Houston.

In September 2012, boxer Evander Holyfield was held in contempt of court for his failure to pay more than $500,000 in child support for his daughter, Emani. Holyfield has a total of 12 children with six women.

In 2011, Val Kilmer's ex-wife, Joanne Whalley, claimed that the "Batman Forever" actor had fallen behind on child support for their two kids. Whalley did not specify the amount Kilmer owed in the court documents obtained by TMZ, but he had previously agreed to pay her $27,500 per month. The actress established a lien on Kilmer's property (she did the same thing back in 2007) in order to prevent him from skipping out on the payments.

In 2011, supermodel Linda Evangelista's attorney accused her ex-beau, billionaire Francois-Henry Pinault, of "sitting back, paying zero" towards child support for their son Augie. Pinault -- who is now married to Salma Hayek -- later denied the claim in the French issue of Elle, saying that he had "recognized" Augie since 2007 and included him in his family life "at every possible opportunity." Evangelista was reportedly requesting $46,000 a month from Pinault, which, if granted, would have been one of the highest support orders in the history of family court. In May 2012, the former flames settled the case for an undisclosed amount.

Over the years, former NFL bad boy Terrell Owens has had trouble keeping up with child support payments to the four women with whom he has kids. In spite of making roughly $80 million during his football career, Owens claimed in 2011 that he was broke and filed legal documents to reduce the cost of the payments. In December 2012, the football player completed his court-ordered community service at a Los Angeles Goodwill after being held in contempt of court for falling behind on his payments to baby mama Kimberly Floyd.

In August 2012, former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star Jon Gosselin claimed he was unable to pay his rent because of the high cost of his child support payments for his eight kids with ex-wife, Kate Gosselin. “I am a single father who’s trying to make ends meet during a recession," he told Star magazine. "What do I do — pay child support or rent? I need to support my kids, but I could lose my house, and I need my home to continue to have custody." Kate's attorney later shot down these claims, adding that Jon had been relieved of his child support duties months earlier in April 2012.

Allen Iverson's wife, Tawanna Iverson, filed for divorce from the former NBA player in March 2010, but the pair later reconciled. She filed again in June 2011. Later that year, Tawanna claimed that Allen had stopped depositing money in the joint bank account that she used to pay for rent and other child-related expenses for their five kids. The former couple settled their divorce in January 2013. Sources close to the couple told TMZ that child support was part of the settlement deal, in addition to a $3 million lump sum and a percentage of future profits from his Reebok endorsement.

Rapper/producer Jermaine Dupri got into hot water in 2011 after he missed child support payments to Sarai Jones, with whom he had a then-seven-month-old baby girl. After a paternity test revealed that he was the child's father, he was ordered to pay Jones $2,500 per month, as well as an additional $7,500. Because of financial hardships, he was unable to pay and was then sued by Jones for the money. There are no new developments about the case at this time.

In January 2013, actor Skeet Ulrich -- best known for his role in "Scream" -- was reportedly charged with contempt of court for being behind on his child support payments to his ex-wife, Georgina Cates. According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Ulrich owes more than $280,000 to Cates, whom he divorced in 2005. The ex-pair share custody of their twins, Naiia and Jakob.

Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav faced a 180-day jail sentence in May 2012 after he failed to pay more than $111,000 in back child support to Angie Parker -- the mother of three of his seven children. In June 2012, the rapper was able to avoid serving time by paying $25,000 to Parker upfront and then adding an extra $1,200 to his monthly payments to her.

In January 2011, Edward Furlong was arrested after violating a restraining order that said he must remain at least 100 yards away from his estranged wife, Rachael Kneeland. At the time, the "Terminator 2" actor was also a month behind on his child support payments because, as he told the judge, he was "completely broke." In October of that year, a Los Angeles court determined that he owed $15,000 in back child support. Furlong and Kneeland have one son together named Ethan.

In the past, rapper Nas has had trouble keeping up with his child support payments to his ex-wife, "Milkshake" singer Kelis. In April 2010, he was ordered to pay his ex more than $47,000 in back child support. But a month later, Nas told the judge that his current income could not support the current monthly payments. In 2011, TMZ reported that a judge had reduced his payment substantially to roughly $5,000 a month due to a tough economy. The former couple has one son together named Knight.
