Malone's Scandals and Denials

NBA legend Karl Malone impregnated a 13-year-old girl when he was 20 years old. He initially denied paternity and only acknowledged his son after a DNA test confirmed it. Malone then challenged a court ruling for child support, stating that $125 per week was too high. He refused to have a relationship with his son, who later went on to play in the NFL. While playing for the Lakers, Malone repeatedly sexually harassed Kobe Bryant's wife, and despite being warned multiple times to stop, he continued to do so. Bryant even wanted to fight Malone over it, and the two had to be separated.
