Malik Beasley’s Wife Claims He Has Only Paid $800 In Child Support Since Leaving Family Behind For Larsa Pippen

Malik Beasley’s wife, Montana Yao, is firing back at him for allegedly not taking care of his kids since leaving them to be with Larsa Pippen.

Yao filed from divorce from Beasley, but he lawyers told US Weekly that the Minnesota Timberwolves guard hasn’t been holding up his end of the bargain when it comes to child support.

“The assessment of Mr. Beasley’s attorney was correct when he stated that Mr. Beasley just wanted to put this whole situation ‘behind him.’ That assessment, however, omits the fact that Mr. Beasley forgot to inform Montana Yao, his long-time partner and wife, of his plans to leave his family ‘behind,’” Yao’s lawyers, Paul Applebaum and Alan Eidsness said in a statement to Us on Friday. “Instead, he put Montana and their young son out of the family home while he stayed behind to live there with friends.”

“Mr. Beasley has only contributed $800 toward the care of their son, despite making $15,000,000 per year in the NBA,” Yao’s lawyers continued. “Montana was a successful model before she met Mr. Beasley, but gave it up to focus on starting a family with him. She and her son are now forced to stay with relatives until she can restart her career.”

Malik Beasley’s lawyers fired back at this claim.

“It is unfortunate that counsel for Montana Yao has elected to misrepresent facts in the media to seek sympathy, while omitting the fact his client demanded an outrageous and obscene amount of money for not only her, but for her mother, as an apparent bounty for an eight-month marriage. Counsel also omits that shortly before Montana Yao filed for divorce Malik bought her a $100,000 Range Rover. This is a cautionary tale for NBA players, who run great risk of situations like this which we must now mitigate in a court of law.”

Montana Yao’s lawyers called Beasley’s rebuttal “false from beginning to end”.

It appears we have a standoff here. I just hope the kids are taken care of financially moving forward.
