The actor/comedian Mike Epps known for his roles in How High, Next Friday and Friday After Next, now has a paternity suit being filed against him. The woman, whose name has not been released, states that the only reason she is going public with the suit is because her calls and e-mails had gone unanswered.
The article states, "'We are not asking for the moon, we are just asking him to take a paternity test,' the woman's lawyer Randy Kessler told TMZ. 'Once the tests are completed and paternity is confirmed, hopefully, Mr. Epps will do the right thing and begin to provide for his child.'"
The actor/comedian has been married since 2006. He and his wife have no children together.
With the story being so new, there are not many details available. One thing I have noticed is that many celebrities get involved in affairs or one night stands and don't want to face the consequences. Either they don't claim the child as their own or they wont pay child support. An example of this scenario would be Sean "P. Diddy" Combs with long time girlfriend Kim Porter.
Other times, the women put the accusations on celebrities to get some extra money.
If Mike Epps follows through with the paternity test and the results come back positive, I believe that he would take responsibility for his child. If he hadn't said anything to his wife by now about the situation, this could cause some problems in their marriage. I know if I am placed in the situation, I would rather know about it ahead of time to avoid the marital complications. While trust may be gone, at least the honesty was there to admit the truth and perhaps have it worked out.
My question for you is, do you think Mike Epps will take responsibility for his child if the results are in the woman's favor? What do you think the woman's real motive is? Meaning, do you think she just wants the extra money or does she truly believe that Mike Epps is the father?

So when we going on Maury???? It's to bad if Mike Epp's cheated on bis wife, but thats they way Hollywood and fame works. Everybody wants a cut.
I honestly have not even heard of Mike Epps until now. I would hope that if these alegations are proved to be true that he would take full responibilty for his child. I know that some people have alternative motives. For the benefit of him and his marriage he should take the test. Looks like an episode of Maury to me!
Paternity tests are always fun to read off..."You are not the father," this sounds like making for great TV. I'm use to making fun of celebrities like this and then interject that politics are more important. Eliot Spitzer made me feel bad about saying that. After David Paterson admitted cocaine uses and getting with a prostitute in a Days-Inn of all places; I'm contemplating to start watching E! instead of CNN.
