Karl Malone’s Son That He Didn’t Abandon at Birth Stands Up For His Dad Getting a 13-Year-Old Pregnant When He Was 20, Refusing to Admit it, Not Paying Child Support and Ignoring His Some of His Kids For Close to 20 Years; They Are Cool With it Now Though, Says It Was a Mistake (Video)

I get it.

You don’t like anyone talking about your father. He could be a totally different man at this time in his life and realize all the mistakes he made. With that being said, a lot of people make mistakes, but this goes FAR beyond that.

Demetress Bell isn’t the only Malone child to fall victim to this rather heinous pick-and-roll. Bell is one of three children Malone has fathered outside of wedlock, although he is the only one who Malone has apparently refused to have a relationship with. Malone’s other two children outside his marriage are fraternal twins Daryl and Cheryl Ford. Both of them played basketball at Louisiana Tech, like their father, and Cheryl is a forward for the WNBA’s Detroit Shock.

In fact, you may have seen the Louisiana tourism commercial featuring Cheryl Ford and her famous father, who finally appeared in his twin children’s lives when they were 17. Bell lost out in the father lottery. According to Bell, Malone told him it was too late for him to be his father, and he’d have to make it on his own.

Malone reportedly impregnated Bell’s mother when she was 13 and he was a sophomore at Louisiana Tech. Malone is lucky Chris Hansen wasn’t around and he didn’t have to answer to the authorities.

It would be one thing if Malone was unable to financially provide for his son, but he made more than $100 million during his NBA career. The Salt Lake (Utah) Tribune reported that when Bell’s grandparents initially took Malone to court for paternity in 1986, his second year with the Jazz, they requested Malone pay $200 a week. Malone didn’t respond to the suit, but a Louisiana judge ruled he was Bell’s father — after a paternity test showed that was indeed accurate — and ordered Malone to pay $125 a week, plus past and future medical expenses. Malone claimed that was too much and later reached a confidential out-of-court settlement with Bell’s family between 1988 and 1989.

This is only a small part of the things that people hate Malone for.

We won’t even get into the Kobe and Vanessa story. KJ could never understand what some of his siblings went through, not saying he didn’t go through things, but it isn’t the same.

Once again I understand, but Malone isn’t our father, so when his name is brought out, people aren’t just going to forget.

Here is what his son had to say on the matter.
