American Idol judge Randy Jackson didn't cough up enough dough for his first wife and their daughter so she sold a story about him being a tightwad to the tabloids...
From The National Enquirer
“AMERICAN IDOL” judge RANDY JACKSON may be worth an estimated $40 million, but he’s a cheapskate dad, according to court records exclusively obtained by The ENQUIRER.
While Randy’s fortune has soared in recent years, his ex-wife Elizabeth had to fight to get boosts in child support that reflect his massive income, say sources.
When the two divorced in 1993, Randy agreed to pay $1,950 a month in child support based on his $250,000 annual income.
But in 2004, Elizabeth took Randy back to court and demanded more money. She claimed he was making a whopping $1 million a year as an “American Idol” judge while she was scraping by on approximately $30,000 a year.
Elizabeth told the court that she and her then-14-year-old daughter Taylor were living in a rundown, 2-bedroom rented house in Studio City, Calif., while Randy was residing with his new wife Erika, now 42, and their two kids in a multimillion-dollar Encino mansion.
According to papers filed in court, Elizabeth’s rented house was uncomfortably cold at night, with paint peeling in the bathroom and an unreliable water heater.
But their home wasn’t the only problem, said a source who characterized Randy, 55, as “a bit of a tightwad.”
The source told The ENQUIRER : “If Liz needed additional financial help for their daughter, like tutoring or a hair appointment, she had to write to his accountants to be reimbursed. She also asked Randy to reimburse her for Taylor’s lunch money – just $71 a month – and he even stalled on that.

Take it up in court with all of the other baby mommas of the world that like to complain that the man was good enough to have a kid with but, ain't shit when ya'll not together anymore. Blasting him in the press is not going to make him a better father and will not be good mentally for your kids. A woman who runs to the tabloids behind money is a woman who either is too uneducated to get a job or too lazy to do so. Pick one.
What a dip; I applaud Erica for not trying to use their daughter to cash in and for keeping a job and using her daughters child support for what it was intended for (food, shelter, clothing). That $1920 a month in addition to what she was bring home NET, bi-weekly isn't going to go that far in today's economy.
So she was making over $23,000 per year on child support, but was existing on $30,000 total per year? So the obvious question is was she doing anything to help out her own income or just tuckin' ass in the house all day and using the child support for their entire living?
And if you in Cali livin' off nothin but child support, yo ass probably need to relocate to Texas asap..
At least she was MARRIED to him and not trying to make a come-up.
I dispise men who dont do right by their children,may GOD have mercy on their soul!
Shucks, that $30,000 a year she was making ain't THAT much when you figure in deductions for taxes and health insurane and social security. We should all know that we all make a LOT of money ON PAPER but when you move away from the GROSS and get to that NET.... that's when money starts gettin' funny.
That's not a lot of money for California cost of living. Sounds like those Idol constants are better taken care of than his 1st born.
How about GET A FUCKING JOB????
WHEW!! that was CLOSE!! I thought she was gonna say "he let somebody fuck him in tha azz" WHEW! I got scared when I saw the title to this story lol, made my blood pressure go a lil bit, thank GOD that aint what she had to say!! I caint take no more of these 'guess who gay' blog stories lol
daum Dawg wrong for that, I hope she take his azz to court, Dam Randy couldn't even toss the ole woman a couple of blankets! Dam dawg!!
30 thousand a year for doing nothing aint enough? Bitch get off your ass and go get a 9 - 5 bitches always think CHILD SUPPORT is suppose to be their income WRONG! Child support is suppose to support your child, not your lavish life style you're trying to live
@2:23 I bet you said that because she's NOT BLACK huh?
Defend the character of white and NON black women when they try and get black men for their millions but hate on black women who expect the same?
Yo ass ain't slick.
Where's the she's a gold digging BITCH comments?
Jaleels white baby momma just tried the same shit.
Two of T.O's baby mommas are white tried the same shit
I could go on and on and on with all the black men being taken for MILLIONS in child support and alimony by NON black women
Stories that haven't even made the news.
Bee Gee I agree
So are you’ll saying is that if your father was a multi-millionaire living in a mansion with his new family and you are his first born living in the hood with no heat you would be fine with that. Don't lie; tell the truth the truth will set you free. I used to really like Randy. He's another person I will no longer support.
Co-sign 4:52. How could u have not one, but two kids living in the lap of luxury, but the other child is living in a run down apt with barely enough heat and have to discuss getting money to get her hair done and some clothes???? Based on what I read above the mother is making 30k from employment, so it's not like she is sitting on her ass waiting to eat off a child support check.
Why can't all his kids be treated the same financially? What is it about your daughter that makes her less than your other two kids????? How much u wanna bet the oldest child will be the one will come to help u out in ur old age, while the other 2 kids won't even give ur ass a second thought.
Karma is a bitch Randy!
F*ck Randy. How 'bout that damn cat suit Fantasia had on last night?
guess black women ain't the only ones tryna' live off their child-support check via big bank baby daddy.. surprised on this 1..
3:37 - The church just said Amen.
@5:47 according to the Calfornia Law the child is entitled to living according to the richer parents income. This is the law that applies to rich white folks also. The question should be why does the mother have to summit an invoice to get his daughter hair done. As much hate there is about black women and their hair you would think that would be a non issue. I wonder does she have to summit an invoice to get her daughter teeth clean also? And why do his children with the new wife get special treatment? Should all men rich or not treat all his children equally? I bet the first born probably goes to a sub-par high school while her siblings attend a highend private school. Is that fair? And from what I read the ex-wife has a job, she is not sitting around waiting on a check. If Randy was your father would you be happy with living with no heat in the hood while your siblings lived in a mansion? Be truthful.
I hate this krakka loving nigga and his antics I can't stand his flabby simple looking ass.
Ain't shit run down in Studio City! Bitch please. Stop being greedy cause that child will be 18 in a minute and you ain't getting shit.
nubian
You ain't lying. He's a simple acting asshole.
ROFLMAO @ 3:00 PM
All three of his kids should live a similar lifestyle
That's all
No it's not " get a job"... The child is supposed to live to the standards of their father! If he makes a little then the child has little but if he is a millionaire the child is supposed to live like he's a millionaire... Jobs are few and far between in this economy and it's really sick that some men would rather see their child live in squalor than to take care of the responsibility they made.
you bitches nee to stop!!! and you weak ass niggas also, she getting 30grand a year and aint no taxes coming off that..i make a little over 30 with two kids but i get taxes out and so it comes out less, you telling me 30 a year jus for support shit if the bitch got a job then she would make atleast 50...So if i have a big house that means i got to buy my ex one to cause she has my child, these bitches need to be check by the court to find out what these bitches spending money on
support is not your job, the court needs to do routine accounting to stop these chicks from spending money on big ass pocket books, hair(bitch wear your own)and every other shit,
bitches its called child support..meaning it propose to help in supporting your child with your own income..thats a little info for all you bitches who think that money is for them to live good
So if i have a big house that means i got to buy my ex one to cause she has my child, these bitches need to be check by the court to find out what these bitches spending money on

According to California law this is the case. You also mentioned that you take care of 2 kids on a 30K salary. That can be done, but only according to where you live and the cost of living. California is very expensive so 30k year does not go far for a single person with no kids. There is no information that confirms that the mother does not work. It is assumed. Like I said before all of his children should have equal standard of living and quality of life especially if there father is a famous multi-millionaire. I don't understand why that is so complicated.
They divorced in 1993... its currently 2012. NINETEEN years ago. I wonder how much the NATIONAL ENQUIRER paid her for this nonstory?
Actually according to wiki and his official webpage, Randy divorced the first wife in 1990 - TWENTY TWO YEARS AGO. There's a five plus year old pic on BlackCelebKids of the daughter on the red carpet with Randy and his 2nd wife and two younger kids, and she was adult then!
