Urlacher Baby Mama Runs Afoul of Lord of the Dance, Again
By Chuck Sudo in News on Dec 22, 2008 10:01PM
Tyna Robertson — mother to Brian Urlacher's son Kennedy and, well, let's be generous and not call her a "gold digger" — received a rude awakening this morning. Robertson, who likes to bring Urlacher to court on a whim, was arrested this morning by Will County Sheriff's deputies in her Burr Ridge home on contempt of court charges stemming from a 2007 judgment against her brought on by "Lord of the Dance" creator/choreographer Michael Flatley.
You'll remember that, prior to hooking up with Urlacher, Robertson and Flatley had a brief relationship. When that ended, Robertson claimed Flatley raped her and filed a $33 million lawsuit against him. Flatley refuted the allegations and refused to settle the case. When Robertson's case against Flatley was dismissed, he countersued Robertson and her then-attorney D. Dean Mauro in California for extortion, intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation. After settling with Mauro, Flatley accepted an $11 million settlement judgment against Robertson by the California Supreme Court.
The contempt of court charges were filed by Flatley's attorneys after Robertson missed a court date in Los Angeles and refusing to cooperate with documenting her assets to collect on the judgment. Cook County judge Alexander White released Robertson after vacating the warrant, but warned her in no uncertain terms that she was to cooperate with Flatley's attorneys or face six months in jail. On her way out of the courthouse this morning, Robertson said she felt that she was being harrassed and was never informed of the hearing.
“They set me up. They blatantly did this. For Flatley to do this after he’s hurt me is a slap in the face. His attorney’s actually have the nerve to file a motion that they never served me on and did this just to hurt me even more. That’s Ok. I will be flying to Los Angeles to vacate this judgment and fight this all the way now."
And how is she going to fight that, given that she keeps claiming about how broke she is due to the downturn in the housing market?
