Brendan Fraser Says He’s Too Broke To Pay $900,000 A Year In Alimony And Child Support
There’s a good reason for why Brendan Fraser’s facial expression is permanently set to “WOE IS ME,” because woe is him and woe is his bank accounts. Brendan claims that he not only lost his hotness, but he lost his fortune too. During his Mummy days, dump trucks would drop mountains of cash on his front driveway, but those days are long over and now he says that he’s so broke that he’s thisclose to giving hand jobs in a McDonald’s bathroom for a McGriddle (story of my life). Brendan was paying his ex-wife, Afton Smith, $900,000 a year in alimony and child support for his three sons, 10-year-old Griffin, 8-year-old Holden and 6-year-old Leland. Apparently, Brendan can’t afford to make those payments anymore and he went to a Connecticut court to try to bring that number down.
The New York Post says that in court documents, Brendan claims that paying $900,000 a year just doesn’t make sense, because he no longer makes that kind of money anymore. Brendan admitted that he has a few movies coming out, but none of those movies are going to put zillions of dollars into his checking account. But Afton Smith is HAHAHA-ing at Brendan’s broke bitch act and thinks that he’s all sorts of fraudulent. When they settled their divorce in 2009, Afton accused Brendan of hiding $9 million of new movie contracts. Afton also laughed when Brendan said that he was going to make $0 from acting in the future, because he had no projects in the works.
Afton’s lawyer claims that Brendan is once again acting poor for show, because he has $24.7 million in assets.
Cue up the “NO TRICK NEEDS $75,000 A MONTH TO RAISE THREE KIDS” comments. Yeah, nobody needs $75,000 a month to raise three kids, but if you can get it, shit, get it. Why get up when it’s still dark to make your kids mayonnaise and butter sandwiches for lunch when you can get a morning chef to do it? Why drive your screaming kids to school in the morning when you can get a nanny to do it? Why makes your kids dinner and get them to do their homework when you can get a night nanny to do it so you can sip champagne in a bubble bath far away from all of them? Get it all, Afton!
And Brendan needs to stop acting like that cousin who gets you to buy her lunch by crying about how broke she is but then pulls out a new Louis Vuitton bag. Because we all know that Brendan is getting millions of dollars in royalties from Monkeybone.
