Beyonce’s Dad Hit with Paternity Suit 0

Mathew KnowlesTMZ.com is reporting that singer Beyonce’s father/manager Mathew Knowles is facing a paternity suit in Los Angeles. Alexsandra Wright, 38, filed suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleging that Knowles is the father of her unborn baby.

Wright is six months pregnant and, according to TMZ, works in the “name-branding business” (but appeared in one episode of the sitcom Scrubs back in 2001 and one episode of JAG in 1999, according to IMDB.com). Knowles has been married to Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles since 1980.

Sources say Wright is represented by Hollywood family law attorney Neal Hersh, who currently represents Lamar Odom in prenup negotiations with Khloe Kardashian and has previously represented Kim Basinger, Brad Pitt, Pamela Anderson and Halle Berry.

Neither Knowles nor Hersh has made any public comment at this time.

By filing a paternity suit, Wright seeks a determination of the legal parentage of her child, a custody and visitation order upon the birth of the child, an award of prenatal and delivery expenses and a judgment of child support.  All of this assumes though that Knowles will either admit fathering the child or will be proven the father after DNA testing.
