Reply to comment by brett1081 in Woman who says Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is her father now accuses him of defamation by PrincessBananas85

Idk, if he is her father and had been intentionally neglectful in raising her, why wouldn’t she be entitled to restitution? I mean plenty of deadbeats out there are sitting in jail over the lack of support, it shouldn’t be different here.

He's already admitted to being the father and has paid millions to her mother based on an agreement they signed years ago. You could call him a "deadbeat" for not wanting to be involved in her life, I suppose, but he's paid out plenty of money to give her a very good quality of living over the years.

Small installments? No, I'm saying that the woman was a consenting party when she chose to have sex with a married man, so there's fault on both sides. She also was a consenting party when she signed an NDA which included millions of dollars in payments from Jerry jones over the course of her daughter's childhood and college years. Does that make Jerry Jones a saint? No, obviously not, but it's not much different than if they had gotten divorced and she was given custody. He paid his child support payments.

The agreement Jones had with the mother is with the mother. It excuses Jones from any legal and moral obligation he has to her as a co-parent. It does not satisfies his moral obligations as the father to the child.

As a society we tend not to recognize that children have any kind of legal right to parental affection, but its pretty clear that Jones has opted not to fulfill that moral duty. He has given what amounts to pocket change to this girls mother, but no amount of money can substitute for not having a father.

Legally the woman cannot demand anything on the basis of that, but morally I'm all for her taking Jones for a ride. Fuck the guy. When you bastardize your own children, you are the bastard.
