Jackie Mason Ordered to Pay Child Support
Comedian Jackie Mason has been ordered to pay his former Florida girlfriend $2,000 per month in child support, marking the end of a bitter three-year paternity lawsuit.
A Florida court of appeals late Tuesday upheld the monthly paternity award retroactive to the Dec. 15, 1985, birth of Ginger Reiter’s daughter, Sheeba.
The court found that Mason, a comedian who starred in last year’s television series “Chicken Soup,” could better pay for the child’s support than Reiter, 37, who operates a singing telegram service.
