Eddie Murphy finally addressed publicly,the paternity suit against him brought by Melanie Brown,earlier this week.
A public statement issued by Murphy’s publicist said:
“Eddie Murphy always has and will continue to honor his responsibilities as a father. Mr…… Murphy and Ms. Brown dated very briefly and never made any plans of ANY sort. He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy. Mr….. Murphy views this as a private matter and as such, will not be making any further comments about it.”
The 46-year-old star of “Coming to America” and “The Nutty Professor” movies ” had never publicly acknowledged paternity before.
