Washington Redskins fearsome defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth will use part of his monstrous new contract to address a paternity suit brought by a stripper, according to media reports.
Exotic dancer Silvia Mena says Haynesworth impregnated her and then skipped town on her, despite his promises to support the 25-year-old.
Mena says she met the massive lineman during this past Super Bowl week and they later connected at his home in Tennessee.
The New York Post states that according to the suit, Haynesworth told her that he’d help out Mena. But when Mena wound up pregnant, he bolted and left town on her.
Haynesworth, formerly a Pro Bowl caliber player, is still one of the most respected defensive lineman in the league. He signed a huge contract with the Redskins prior to the 2009 season, but has articulated his unhappiness with the front office. He is reportedly being shopped around as trade speculation swirls. –terry shropshire
