Recently, Jets super virile cornerback Antonio Cromartie had his second child with wife Terricka—which means he now has 10 kids by eight different women in six states. One more and he has enough for a football team! And of course, with that much baby drama, the reality shows have started a-callin'.
According to the Post, a TV production company wants to create a reality show about the clan “trying to co-exist as a modern family.” And it sounds like most of the baby mamas have rallied together in favor of doing the show. “We’re not catty women. We have a close, tight-knit friendship and understand what each other’s going through. We reach out to share news about the kids, to talk, to vent,” said Ryan Ross, a hotel employee in Los Angeles who had Cromartie's fifth kid, Tyler Jae.
The women admit the income from the show would help them raise their kids, but they also want their half-siblings—located in California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and New Jersey—to be able to bond with each other. Oh, and they want Cromartie to spend time with his kids: “He’s supposedly a role model, but he’s not doing what he should be doing as a father, or as a man,” said mom Rosemita Pierre, who had Cromartie's first son Alonzo Pierre.
Of course, Cromartie doesn't want any part of the show, and has thus far been blocked any filming of his offspring. But if the moms have their way, there'll be a Hard Knocks: Baby Mama Edition coming soon. If you're confused as to how one person can have 10 kids by eight different women in six states over a seven year period, just consult the Post's handy graph below:
