According to a TV paternity court judge, Kourtney Kardashian did the right thing by getting a DNA test to fend off claims that her longtime boyfriend Scott Disick did not father her 3-year-old son.
Kardashian's reputation was on the line after a male model named Michael Girgenti filed a paternity lawsuit against the reality TV personality at the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Girgenti claimed that they had unprotected sex after they met on a photo-shoot in August 2008, and that he actually fathered her son Mason. As a result, his suit requested joint custody of Mason and asked for a judge to issue court ordered DNA tests for Kourtney, Scott, Mason and himself.
To disprove the model's allegations, Disick took a paternity test at an independent lab which showed that he was indeed the father, E! News reported last week. Kourtney also released a statement, saying: "After three-and-a-half years of rumors and lies being spread by an individual I met briefly at a photo shoot, I am setting the record straight that Scott is Mason's father. While it saddens me to have to address these ridiculous lies-especially when the truth was never in doubt-this story must be put to rest."
In response, Judge Lauren Lake from the new show "Paternity Court" offered her his two cents about Kourtney's baby daddy drama.
"Now that the DNA proves Scott is in fact Mason's father, the couple can move forward raising their children together without these false allegations looming over their heads," said Judge Lake, a family-court lawyer who will settle disputes on TV this fall using science and nonbinding mediation.
"Even though they may have been reluctant to take a DNA test, it was in the best interest of their child to do so expeditiously," Lake added, according to the New York Daily News.
Lake's court show debuts Sept. 23 on WLNY/Ch. 55.
