Theus reportedly filed paternity suit documents at a Georgia court and is seeking child support, contending that the legendary player is indeed the Father of her baby girl, Juyana Rachelle Henderson. Theus even reportedly posted a message on her Facebook page for his Airness that read:
Michael Jordan, when are you going to support your 2-year-old daughter? You drop 10 million on your nice wedding … that was nice but don’t you think it time that you support your daughter?
Theus is the second woman to publicly come forth involving a paternity suit against Jordan. Former wannabe baby mama Pamela Smith also came out of the woodwork earlier this year seeking coins from Jordan in a huge way for her 16-year-old son.
Smith withdrew her paternity petition from the court, though, but was later ordered by the judge to pay Jordan $9,704.13 for her false paternity claim.
Now Theus has stepped up to the plate.
According to TMZ, Jordan has reportedly filed legal documents stating that Theus knows who her baby daddy is — and it is certainly not him!
The plot thickens!
