This just confirms what we reported yesterday that Pamela Smith was trying to extort Michael Jordan and use his name for her 15 minutes of fame.

After Smith dropped her paternity suit case, Jordan came out with a statement saying that he didn’t pay her a dime and the entire thing was just a con game to get money and attention.

Jordan, 50, denied that he was the 16-year-old’s father and had filed a countersuit, contending that, in Smith’s divorce case, her ex-husband had been established as the father of the teenager.

Estee Portnoy, Jordan’s spokeswoman, told the AP on Monday that there was no financial settlement with Smith and that the lawsuit was without merit. Jordan recently applied for a license to marry his longtime fiancee.
