As it was previously reported, in December 2019, Kimberly Alexander claimed that Thompson was the father of her then nearly five-year-old son. However, after the athlete took a DNA test that proved he was NOT the father of her child, he claims Alexander then turned to social media and falsely accused him of sabotaging the DNA test results to avoid his parental responsibilities. On top of that, it was said she also claimed that Thompson had been “neglecting” the child since birth.”
The 29-year-old is currently suing Alexander for libel. The Blast reports that he recently submitted a request for default judgment, as well as a new declaration in support of his request to gain back his reputation and expenses paid to bring this case to court. He wants her to cough off an amount sufficient to compensate him for his “loss of reputation, shame, mortification, and hurt feelings” over her allegations.
In the request for default judgment, Thompson’s attorney’s claim:
“All of Plaintiff’s employment and endorsement contracts contain morals clauses which give the employer the right to terminate the contract if Thompson engages in conduct that may cast his team or the brand he is endorsing in a negative light. Thus, there is a genuine risk that the publication of such false and defamatory statements about Thompson may interfere with his existing employment and endorsement contracts as well as other future professional opportunities”.
In his supporting declaration, Thompson explained: “I am the father of two young children. I love my children and take my responsibilities as a father extremely seriously. I am involved in my children’s lives and proud to have close relationships with my children and to provide for their needs financially and otherwise.”
As the news site notes, he wants the court to know that “had the DNA test results shown that Ms. Alexander’s child was my son, I would have done the same for Ms. Alexander’s child without hesitation. For Ms. Alexander to falsely state that I am the type of man who would neglect his parental duties hurts me emotionally and is incredibly damaging to my reputation. Parents who neglect their responsibilities to their children, and in particular so-called ’deadbeat dads,’ are almost universally loathed and looked down upon by civilized society. No brand would want to be represented by or associated with someone with a reputation for shirking his responsibilities as a father,” The Blast quotes.
