In a video going viral on social media, Brittany Renner and her mother filmed a confrontation with the father of her child, PJ Washington.
In the video, Renner’s mom talks about how she would suck his d*ck if he had one. Here is a history of the drama that has taken place between the two.
The Early Days: Meeting and Romance (2019–2020)
Brittany Renner, born in 1992, first crossed paths with PJ Washington, born in 1998, in 2019 when she was around 26 and he was about 20. Washington, then playing for the University of Kentucky, invited Renner to watch one of his games, sparking their initial connection. By 2020, the pair had gone public with their relationship after meeting at an event in Dallas. At the time, Renner was already a well-known figure on social media for her fitness content and candid takes on relationships, while Washington was building his NBA career after being drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in 2019.
The age gap—roughly six years—would later become a flashpoint for criticism, but in the beginning, things appeared smooth. Renner moved in with Washington, and he expressed a desire to start a family early in his career.
Pregnancy and Birth (2021)
In early 2021, the couple announced they were expecting. Renner later clarified that the pregnancy was planned; she had been on birth control but stopped after discussions with Washington, who wanted a child at age 22. Their son, Paul Jermaine Washington III (often called PJ Jr.), was born in May 2021. Publicly, they shared joyful moments, but cracks were already forming beneath the surface.
The Breakup and Initial Backlash (July 2021)
Just two months after their son’s birth, the relationship imploded. In July 2021, Washington posted (and quickly deleted) a cryptic tweet: “you was faking it all along.” The couple scrubbed each other from their social media accounts, fueling speculation. Fans accused Renner of “trapping” Washington for financial gain, with rumors swirling that she was receiving an exorbitant $200,000 per month in child support—a figure that became a meme in NBA circles.
Renner denied the allegations, insisting the child was no “oops baby” and that no one had been “finessed.” She described Washington as not being a good partner and emphasized her intent had always been true love and marriage. Washington, for his part, tweeted “stop the cap” in response to the child support rumors.
Reflections and Accusations (2022–2023)
In 2022, Renner admitted to ignoring “red flags” in the relationship, including Washington’s youth and her belief she could “fix” him. By 2023, public criticism intensified. Renner was accused of grooming Washington due to the age difference (some reports incorrectly stated he was 18 when they met, amplifying the backlash). She pushed back, comparing their situation to celebrity couples like Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who have a larger age gap but face less scrutiny.
In September 2023, Renner made headlines on a podcast, admitting to having slept with 35 men and discussing her post-breakup life. The following month, she praised Washington’s fatherhood, saying she didn’t feel like a single mom thanks to their alternating custody schedule and his involvement. She noted their son was well-cared for, living in luxury, and affirmed she still loved Washington as a person, though not as a partner.
Financial Struggles and Personal Growth (2024)
By 2024, Renner opened up about severe financial difficulties, revealing she was “broke” and uncertain about housing or providing for her son. She debunked the $200k child support myth, stating she received only $2,500 monthly. Amid this, Renner converted to Islam, embracing a more spiritual lifestyle and wearing a hijab in public posts. Washington, meanwhile, had moved on, marrying model Alisah Chanel and welcoming another child.
Recent Escalations and Custody Battles (2025)
The drama reached a new peak in 2025. In March, Renner addressed “lies” about their relationship, emphasizing joint custody and her growth from the experience. But tensions boiled over by September 1, 2025, during a custody exchange. A video surfaced showing a heated argument between Renner and her mother versus Washington and his wife. Renner accused Washington of giving his wife $170,000 while their son’s bank account held only $11,000. The altercation turned ugly, with Renner’s mother making crude remarks. Social media erupted, with fans siding with Washington and criticizing Renner, while others noted the normalcy of child reactions in co-parenting swaps.
Wrapping Up the Chaos
From a promising romance to a bitter co-parenting feud, Brittany Renner and PJ Washington’s story is a cautionary tale of public relationships under the microscope. While Renner has focused on personal reinvention and faith, Washington has built a new family life alongside his NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks. Yet, as the recent custody clash shows, the drama is far from over. With their son caught in the middle, one can only hope they find a path to peaceful resolution.
