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.

Hey Twatty, those days are so long ago, I hardly remember him in the Mummy. Knowing this about him makes me want to know no more about him. Being a bit late on helping his kids is one thing but being many payments behind is inexcusable. How are you?

Eww... His eyes are all cloudy, and his "hair" is all stringy... He looks like one of those meth addicts that we're warned about in our high school bio class.
Withy & Cashew -- hey, babycakes!!! I remember seeing him in "Gods & Monsters" and I thought he was attractive. But looking at this picture, good, god no he's not anymore.

Brandon Frasier was never hot.
----------
To me he was, actually one of the hottest persons around back in the day.
Let's request peen photos and see if we can make a better case for hot vs. not.
He was always on the cusp of slipping into fug. He's clearly embraced that side of himself.
I never ever found him hot, either. And it has nothing to do with the long-standing rumor that he is flamingly gay and used Ashton as a beard for all those years.
I can't believe this guy has that much bank.

I know I will probably be in the minority for this opinion but I think you shouldn't get alimony for longer than you were married.
_______________________________________________
This seems reasonable to me. Alimony makes sense if one spouse quit his/her job and was out of the workforce for X number of years, and will presumably have a tough time getting back in. I don't have a problem with it as a temporary stopgap. But lifetime alimony is indefensible, IMO. There is no reason for that in this day and age.

ITA, Flynn. Then again, I don't believe in letting someone else support me, either.
The way I see it, marriage is also a financial partnership, and both parties should contribute.

I know I will probably be in the minority for this opinion but I think you shouldn't get alimony for longer than you were married. Child support, hell yes, but alimony (to me) should be looked at like what Welfare is suppose to be, a stepping stone or aide to help you until you can find a career/job. You should be able to support yourself after a reasonable amount of time.
That being said this opinion might be based on the fact that my dad has had to pay my mother alimony for twice as long as their marriage lasted and will continue to do so until he retires and is no longer forced to pay that amount.
Never ever saw the 'hot' in this lunkheaded derp.
I'll never understand why he wouldn't want to help his children out. Just miserable.

Brandon Frasier was never hot. He had a goofy youthfulness that confused people into thinking he's handsome..but he never was.
He's always had a bug-eyed face, looks like he's looking in 2 different directions.
I did like his acting in Bedazzled, but that's it.

It never surprises me the lengths men will go to in order not to pay child support.
Word.
I would gladly take $100/month to help me out. My husband died so young, he didn't earn enough credits for me to have any assistance in raising our son. It must be nice to get something.
Damn...the years were not nice to Brendan! He was never a looker in my book but now he looks like he's just given up. Come on dude, you're out in public - comb your fucking hair. I don't know why but he looks like he has a nasty cold and is about to break out in cold sores.
If I banged and procreated with him, I'd want a boatload of money a month too. Sheesh!

In CA, either party can go to court at any time to seek either an increase or decrease due to change in circumstances or just good old-fashioned greed.
Not sure how it works in CT, though.
She must've sucked out his hot as well as his money is right, NN!

I don't care what kind of life these kids were accustomed to before these two split, but what this chick is getting per month is enough for them to live off of for a whole year. I don't care if you're used to wiping your ass with gold bars, get the fuck over yourself.
It's no wonder there are so many men out there scared to shit of putting a goddamn ring on it!

Good Lord...I think the poor guy needs a break. Afton obviously sucked the hot out of him as well as all his cash.(75k a month?? fuuuuck) If he had money you'd think he would shape himself up. Dude used to be smoking hot...and I loved The Mummy. Cept now when I watch it I realise that every close up shot of him, they cut off the top of his head because of the awful weave he had for that movie.

I don't see why it's so hard for him to pay that...it's not like he isn't still making bank from this gloriouness ---> http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z6/duboise_2007/brendan_fraser_03.jpg

She deserves every penny
According to IMDB he has 5 projects in post-production and 4 in pre-production, and 2 that completed this year.
So, unless his pay scale made a drastic downturn (which it could have) and he's not making 1m+ a year anymore...
Not sure why, but I'm reading this more like he's whining, that instead of making 10m+ and paying 1m for his kids, he's making 5m+ and doesn't want to pay so much out of his lifestyle for his kids.
Greedy rich people never cease to amaze me.
i don't think "future income" is part of the formula in CA -- i believe one has a duty to report increases in income to the family court, and of course the other party can seek modification if income goes up...

For shame. He was so strapping for a cro mag. Now he just looks like one of those London brothers. Jason & Jeremy.
He totally does!
And I bet that most of that $900,000 is alimony and not child support. No sympathy for either one of them.

Well, he's going to have to show the receipts. At least his 1099s. I don't know if they look at future earnings potential. In Maryland, they look at both parties' income and basic living expenses, and base it on a formula that includes which party has primary custody. It's fairly cut and dry. Men (and women, too) had assets all the time. $900k does seem like a lot, though. But maybe the kids go to orivate school, and of course with mortgage/rent payments factored in...
ETA:I'm speaking strictly about child support, not alimony.
If he has the money, he has to follow the settlement.
If he really is broke, then well hope they sort it out.
That said... Still a lot of money for that bitch tho! Hope she is working instead of just sitting her a$$ down waiting for the cheque to show up?!??

yeeeahhhhh, i kinda do vaguely think the "health problems" have something to do with what richardsimmons said....
"Voodoo is forgetting who's the john and who's the whore." MK, 3/20/12
could not find anything specific re health other than broken rib on 2nd mummy movie, and hand burned by stunt explosion on Center of the Earth. but really do think there's something else that was more seriously wrong with his health
also, what anno said -- these modifications happen all the time even in regular child support situations. and i can easily see how this guy's career path could in 2013 make him unable to pay $75,000 per mo in child support
