Princess Santiago is upping the ante in her paternity suit against NBA legend Paul Pierce, demanding $29,811 a month in child support for their newborn. Court docs obtained by TMZ Sports reveal she's also after sole custody, $100K in legal fees, and half of $18,846 in pregnancy-related expenses.
Oh honey, the tea is scalding! 😩 Princess Santiago isn't playing when it comes to Paul Pierce. Months after filing a paternity lawsuit in California back in January—claiming The Truth is the father of her then-unborn child—she's now hitting him with a massive child support ask in new court documents obtained by TMZ Sports. We're talking $29,811 every single month, plus sole legal and physical custody for the newborn. And that's not all: she wants $100K to cover her legal bills and another request for genetic testing to seal the daddy deal. 💸 On top of that, Santiago's demanding Paul cover half of all 'reasonable expenses' tied to pregnancy, birth, and post-birth—which she tallies at $18,846. In the filings, she lays out Pierce's baller status: NBA star from 1998 to 2017, raking in approximately $195 million to $203 million in salary alone. She even quotes his own words, noting Paul 'has publicly stated that during his NBA career he made enough money from endorsements that he did not have to use his NBA salary to pay his expenses or generous expenditures on his family, romantic partners and family.' Back in January, Santiago spilled: 'This isn't about drama or attention.' Pierce's attorney? Crickets so far—no comment. Is Paul about to pony up, or will DNA drama drag this out? 👀
