The saga continues...
After a letter from Bounty Alert, an organization who helps parents receive the child support they're owed, was sent to media alleging that Andrea Kelly's lawyer claimed the reality star couldn't afford the processing fee for the company's help....Andrea's lawyer is fighting back. Details inside..
We previously reported about Project Child Support and Bounty Alert sending out stacks of proof that they were hired to help Andrea Kelly get the child support she's been waiting on for months from her ex-husband R.Kelly. But after another media entity supposedly incorrectly reported what really went down, it caused an ish-storm of drama.
Here's the deal:
Several days ago, Project Child Support sent out a press release that they had been hired by Andrea Kelly to retrieve her $114,000+ child support money from R. Kelly, since he hadn't paid up what he legally owed.
Soon after, TMZ posted that Andrea Kelly said she never hired Project Child Support to help her out with her child support situation (conveniently reporting this AFTER R.Kelly finally paid up that $114,000 he owed).
To show they are no liars, Project Child Support and the company they work with, Bounty Alert, sent out tons of proof showing contracts and other paperwork, signed by Andrea and her lawyer, that showed they were indeed hired for the project. Bounty Alert felt like they were simply being used as leverage for Andrea to get what she needed from Robert Kelly. Since we all know bad press is the last thing he needed while releasing his new Black Panties album.
But as part of their proof, Bounty Alert (BA) said in docs that Andrea's lawyer, Alison Motta, told them that Andrea could not afford the $400 processing fee for BA's services. This could possibly hold up the work BA planned to do.
Of course, Andrea was pissed the public now thought of her as a broke chick struggling to get by...all supposedly thanks to her ow lawyer. So Alison Motta spoke to TheYBF.com exclusively about the matter.
"I have never stated that Andrea Kelly mismanaged her earnings from "Hollywood [Exes]". I think she is managing her earnings nicely. And there's been some confusion and misreporting out there in the media and I wanted to resolve that."
She continued about the mixup:
"I did tell Bounty Alert that she was having severe financial difficulties as a result of this child support situation. That is a very true statement. I don't know if that was them reading between the lines..."
We're told Bounty Alert is sticking to their story. All of it.
And get this -- Motta says she NEVER spoke to TMZ at all. So the report saying Andrea never hired Bounty Alert was a complete lie. She tells us:
"Neither myself nor Andrea Kelly ever denied having hired Bounty Alert. I think that the confusion in the media on that end sparked this 'he said/she said' thing that's gotten ridiculous. Hopefully it'll all die down and this clears up those two points.
Bottom line: Andrea got her money...and her lawyer's still got her job.
