Justin Jefferson gets paid a ton of money and he did not want to have a chunk of it come out due to a child.
The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, who is in line to get a massive contract extension this offseason, is now facing a paternity lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, Andrea Galea.
Not only is he facing that lawsuit, but he also allegedly tried to pressure the woman to get an abortion.
“NFL star Justin Jefferson is facing a paternity lawsuit in New Jersey, where the Minnesota Vikings receiver is being accused of pressuring the child’s mother to get an abortion,” the Daily Mail’s Alex Raskin reported on Wednesday. “Jefferson and his ex-girlfriend, Andrea Galea, filed counter claims against each other last month in Essex County (New Jersey) Family Court. Those filings have since been obtained by DailyMail.com.”
The report goes on to say that Jefferson and Galea first became “romantically involved” in 2019 when they were both at LSU. The child is said to be born in late December 2023.
The Justin Jefferson paternity lawsuit filed by Andrea Galea has her seeking a paternity test, financial support, and healthcare coverage.
Jefferson has a countersuit also asking for a paternity test as well as “an injunction against Galea to prevent her from sharing information about the child.”
