Theballerlife.com has learned that Pamela Smith, the woman suing Michael Jordan for child support claiming he fathered her 16-year-old son, has decided to drop her case against the NBA Hall of Famer.
TMZ reports:
Pamela Smith has filed legal documents in Georgia asking the judge to dismiss her case against MJ — and her request was granted without prejudice (meaning she can refile at a later time if she wants to).
It’s unclear why Pamela wanted the case dismissed — considering she had recently asked the court to order a DNA test ASAP.
It’s possible MJ and Pamela reached some sort of settlement … or agreed to halt legal action while they try to work things out. It’s also possible she simply decided to walk away thinking she would lose in court. We simply don’t know.
Pamela’s attorney Randy Kessler tells TMZ … she dropped the case on his advice that “dismissal at this time, without prejudice, is in her son’s best interests.”
Now, Jordan can put this behind him and start getting ready for his upcoming wedding next month.
