The mother of Mathew Knowles‘ 4-year-old son he fathered while married to Tina Knowles says Knowles is $32,000 behind in court-ordered child support and hasn’t taken care of his responsibilities.
Alexsandra Wright, a 40-year-old former actress, is speaking out to Inside Edition saying she will be forced to file for public assistance if Mathew Knowles doesn’t help with their son Nixon Alexander Knowles. In December 2013, a judge ordered Knowles’ to pay $24,000 in back child support payments. He was ordered to continue making payments of $12,000 a month. Yet, Wright claims that Knowles has again fallen behind on payments.
Besides not assisting with childcare, Knowles also rarely visits his son. To add insult to injury, Wright confirmed that Mathew suggested Beyoncé and JAY Z to take care of the child before the birth of their first child Blue Ivy Carter.
Wright said her affair with Mathew lasted 18 months and ended after the news of the affair went public. He initially denied the child was his and ordered a paternity test which revealed that he fathered the child. The revelation rocked the Knowles clan and shortly spiraled into a downfall of misfortune for Mathew. He and Beyoncé’s mother Tina separated after 31 years of marriage. Beyoncé then relieved him as her manager to manage herself through Parkwood Entertainment. His other daughter Solange Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, the other members of Destiny’s Child, all severed their management relationship with his Music World entertainment. Music World was sued by an accounting firm in January 2014 for $64,587.14 in unpaid debt.
Mathew remarried in June 2013 to former model Gena Charmaine Avery but none of his daughters attended the wedding, citing previous engagements. Tina is now dating Richard Lawson. The two were seen at her New Orleans’ masquerade party.
