Eddie Murphy to Sue Melanie Brown

Eddie Murphy is getting in on the public opinion war and threatening legal action against former lover Melanie Brown. Murphy is accusing Brown of extortion and defamation. The actor’s legal team has issued a cease and desists against Brown, demanding she stops using his name in press interviews.
In a letter to the star, Murphy accuses Brown of “disseminating disparaging, negative and defamatory statements” and making highly “unreasonable extortionate demands” regarding the care of their daughter Angel Iris.
According to Murphy’s lawyer Marty Singer, Brown demanded he buy her a $9 million home in Malibu and allow her to live in it for the next 18 years. Brown and Murphy are embroiled in a bitter battle over child support payments for their four-month-old daughter.
Nothing like putting differences aside, making the child first priority, and providing a loving home.

Mr. Murphy screwed himself by not acknowledging the possibility that the child might be his. He could have privately taken a paternity test and set up child support arrangements. But no! How is she going to refer to him other than by using his name? He becomes a bigger jerk each and every day. He can forget about giving her a few dollars here and there. They live in the land of high-profile attorneys.
