Chris Bosh’s Wholesome Image Takes a Hit

by Marcel Mutoni

CB4, perhaps more than anyone else in the L, works very hard at branding himself and creating a certain public persona. That of an accessible, somewhat goofy, fun-loving guy.

His ex-girlfriend (who became kinda famous last year), though, says there’s an other side to Chris Bosh. The “deadbeat father” side to be precise. And she’ll see him in court.

From the Toronto Star:

Chris Bosh, the face of Toronto’s struggling NBA franchise, is being cast in U.S. court documents as a deadbeat father who broke up with his girlfriend when she was seven months pregnant, leaving her destitute and without medical care even as she fell ill.

[...]

Four-month-old Trinity Meyers Mathis, according to the documents, has laid eyes on her father but twice, both times in his hotel room when the Raptors were in town to face the Wizards. The complaint, which contains allegations that have not been proven in court, says Bosh contested his paternity before genetic testing determined a 99.97 per cent probability that he is Trinity’s father.

Bosh, of course, denies the allegations and his attorneys say they’ll work to clear his name of any wrong doing.

    Hisham should be happy now the boshbash is in full effect. Oh and Justin’s “all listen to the soothing voice of Asher Roth” line???? Pure genius. I pray that was sarcasm.

    GoldDiggers Anonymous. Bosh looks great in green though. I bet Danny Ainge agrees. Hmmm… BoingDynasty: thx for the best comment in this site’s history. “Will you bi+c#e$ take this to the salon….’ CLASSIC!

    I’m assuming this is the girl who looks like she has a cinema screen for a forehead, right?

    I know it may sound harsh and as though money fixes everything in these situations (and it doesn’t, because being there as a father is just as important), but if he really doesn’t want anything to do with the child (I’m not sure if that’s the case, just hypothesising), then he should at least provide financial support. It’s not going to help his personal or emotional relationship with his child, but at least then he won’t be dragging things though court for years, the ex won’t be all bitter and hateful to him (not as much anyway), and at least the child will be able to live relatively comfortably, even if it is without his father around.

    All these blogs on here are the same. The first 10-20 comments are about the basketball story, then it just gets flooded with personal conversations between people like Eboy, Jukai, Boing Dynasty, BETCATS, Moose etc.

    Don’t you guys have jobs? How do you spend 4 hours on each blog, blogging Absolut crap? Please keep it related to the basketball, otherwise just talk to each other on some online chat tool.

    99.97 % so the girl cheated…
    I’d have trouble paying child support if my girl would have F’ed around while I was with here.

    ah well let’s hope dwight doesn’t get in the same trouble as mr bosh here.

    DJR be mad. soothe yourself son, nobody’s forcing ya to come here and read our oh so personal conversations… worldwide follower probably needs…umm, followers.

  • Cool j

    I was reading Chris speaking on his defense and saying that his lawyers will respond in court to the accusations.
    It becomes he said ,she said issue.The only way ,he could recover some of his reputation is if his lawyer comes out and says 2 or 3 months ago Chris tried to settle this issue amicably and here are the documents to prove we ‘ve made an effort.
    Beside that anything he says or his lawyers say will make look like an incensitive SOB who tried to run away from his responsability.

    Toronto Star: Bosh suit, if true, could lead to trade

  • thetruth

    throw the kid some cash..maybe he’ll grow up to be a baller, at least he’s got some good genes, other than his mothers.

  • BostonBaller

    #1 The lady’s court papers will paint a very bleak and bad picture of Bosh regardless of facts
    #2 Deadbeat dad is a strong phrase and to say no support is also strong
    #3 No support could mean that he didn’t spend as much time with HER as she would like.
    # 4 months isn’t long yet it is the baby’s lifetime BUT he is in the middle of an NBA season so it’s kind of hard to be there like a normal dad would be (no excuses just facts)
    # 5 It must sting when you think you are losing out on something you may think you are entitled to

  • http://sfdjilf.com Jukai

    BostonBaller: for number five, you mean for the child and having a father in his life, right?

    Unless of course your retarded, which i assume you are.

  • James aka…

    Dave Feschuck is a worthless editorializer of raptors basketball

    @thetruth – the kid is a girl, so even if she does end up to be a baller there wont be a WNBA by the time she is old enough for it too matter

  • Dick Bukake

    they should have traded him at the deadline…his time is done in Toronto…

  • Gumdrop

    Normally I prefer my comments to be more low keel and sarcastic. But today I’m going to press the capslock button:
    THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE COURT DOCUMENTS THAT STATED THAT CHRIS BOSH GAVE NO SUPPORT TO HIS CHILD. IF HE WITHHELD FUNDS ENTIRELY THE DOCUMENTS WOULD HAVE SAID SO.
    How much did he give? I don’t know. Maybe it was insufficient. Maybe he could have done more. Maybe his ex is using this as a chance to get more than she needs out of him. Again, I don’t know.
    What I do know is that it’s entirely unfair for a bunch of people who don’t know either Chris or Allison, or have inside information on the matter, to trash either of their characters.
    Let’s all just calm down and let the facts come out.
