Chris Rock may be the father of a 13-year-old boy that he was never really made aware of until now. The comedian turned actor will likely have to take a DNA test to determine whether he is, in fact, the daddy.
According to AHN, “Kali Bowyer filed a paternity suit against Rock in Georgia’s Superior Court last month claiming he was the father of her son Jordan.”
Rock’s lawyer said his client is willing to take the test… but not until he finishes promoting his latest movie.
Bowyer told the New York Daily News newspaper: “I’m not asking for money for myself, nor am I suing him for $1 million. I’m just seeking a DNA test to establish paternity, medical coverage and child support.”
A proper question of Bowyer would be ‘Why now?’ Apparently, the 35-year-old freelance journalist contacted Rock’s lawyer soon after her son’s birth, but admits that she “never pressed the issue.” Thirteen years later, Bowyer got back in contact with Rock’s lawyer after her son suffered a seizure and she couldn’t afford the costly medical bills.
Bowyer said: “Chris and I were part of the same group of friends. I wouldn’t even call it dating. We were two consenting adults who had sex once in a while. No strings attached.”
Bowyer claims that her recent request for paternity is the only way that she can help her son, just as Rock would do if his daughter were in the same situation.
She said: “If his child was sick, he’d be knocking down doors.”
