According to a report by the New York Post, an exotic dancer is claiming that Redskins’ defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth impregnated her but has refused to talk to her since late March. Silvia Mena, who is set to sue Haynesworth, also claims that he has yet to offer her any money to use for medical bills.
Mena, 25, alleges Haynesworth, 28, met her in Miami, romanced her during Super Bowl week, and invited her to his Tennessee home. She claims in the documents that after learning about the pregnancy, Haynesworth promised to “emotionally and financially support Silvia.” But, “after making such promises . . . Haynesworth has abandoned the pregnant Sylvia Mena . . . He has refused to provide any emotional or financial support of Silvia Mena or his unborn child.”
The papers read that Haynesworth’s assistant suggested Mena “seek treatment from an NFL physician.” But Mena feared “some effort might be made to purposefully make her lose the child,” the papers say.
Mena, who claims she has not heard from Haynesworth since late March, told us last night: “It is very stressful, I cry all the time.”
Her lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo, told us he’s filing the $10 million suit in Brooklyn Supreme Court today.
Not to sound insensitive, but let’s wait until a DNA test confirms this report. The baby may very well be Haynesworth’s, but so far there is no proof of that other than what Mena is saying. If it is his baby, then let’s hope he steps up and takes responsibility for his actions.
Maybe this situation has something to do with Haynesworth’s absence at all of the Redskins’ offseason workouts thus far. (He has yet to report to any of them.) He may have known that she was going to sue him and therefore, he’s staying away from team camps because he wants to avoid the media.
Or maybe the guy is just lazy and the two situations have nothing to do with each other. He’s proven to be a pain in the ass in the past, so who knows what’s going on with him right now.
