Devon Still was never behind on any child support as his Ex-GF Channing Smythe admitted, they just hadn’t come to an arrangement where the support was for his daughter Leah (it is called Child Support for a reason) and not Channing’s lifestyle especially when Ms. Smythe is pregnant with another man’s child.
Still who has been handling all the finances for his daughter who is still battling cancer, took the high road, never publicly lashed out against Ms. Smythe, even though she falsely accused him and used Gloria Allred for her 15 minutes of fame.
Ms. Smythe could have kept their agreement private, but decided to run to TMZ with the details.
The Cincinnati Bengals player — whose 4-year-old daughter is ferociously battling cancer — had been at odds with Leah’s mother … who claimed Devon wasn’t living up to his end of a “voluntary” child support arrangement they struck over the summer.
Leah’s mother, Channing Smythe, claimed she needed the cash for living expenses … saying she couldn’t work because caring for Leah is a full-time job in itself.
But now, Channing says the two sides were able to work out their money issues — telling us, “He is helping me out financially” … noting that Devon is still playing a huge role in parenting Leah.
“I am very happy that we are working together for Leah.”
It would be best for Ms. Smythe to understand this is about her daughter and not her.
