Things just got messy for Atlanta Exes star Monyetta Shaw. If you caught her on the new VH1 reality show, then you already know Shaw is Ne-Yo's — aka Shaffer Smith — former fiance and the mother of his two small children. At least, that is what she says, but apparently the R&B star has decided that, for whatever reason, he is not so sure about his paternity. He filed a lawsuit in Georgia against Shaw Oct. 1, requesting the court determine if he is legally the father of both of Shaw's children. In other words, Smith wants a paternity test done.
According to MediaTakeOut, Shaw was served with the official paperwork last week, and it is likely not sitting well at all. Perhaps Smith is not thrilled with Shaw's participation in Atlanta Exes, a show that focused on several women finding their way after the end of their relationships with celebrity men. While Shaw seemed respectful of Smith, she did say she had her tubes tied and burned because together they had decided not to have anymore kids. Now that the relationship is over, Shaw regrets that choice.
Do you think Smith recently stumbled onto some sort of information that made him decide to check his paternity, or is it a spite move because Shaw embarrassed him on national TV? He has hired Randy Kessler, a well-known Atlanta attorney, to handle this case against his ex. How do you think this one is going to turn out? Is Smith maybe hurting a bit financially so he wants to be sure he is financially obligated to the son and daughter he has cared for over the last few years?
