Antonio Cromatie Accuses HBO: Hard Knocks Made Him Look Bad

Antonio Cromatie Accuses HBO: Hard Knocks Made Him Look Bad – Antonio Cromartie is upset with the way that he was portrayed on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” One seen showed him trying to remember the names of his children that he has had with seven different women. Now, he is accusing HBO of re-shooting the scene to make him look bad while HBO said that Cromartie is lying about the incident. He told the New York Post that the director shot him the first time through, and then asked him to go over the names of his children again slow2ly, pausing in between the names.

“Nah, I didn’t have trouble,” Cromartie said. “I mean, they asked me to pause. I had nailed it the one time before, but they had to redo it and they just told me to pause between each one of the names.”
HBO has claimed that the scene was done in one take and that they did not purposely ask him to say the names of his children in that way. If it were true, it would be very interesting to hear what their motives were behind it.

“I spoke to the director and everyone involved, and this scene was done in one take,” Stallone said. “The show is factual, it’s real, and it’s not manufactured.” 

Cromartie has eight children with seven different women in five different states. At times, he has fallen behind on child support. You can imagine how it would be hard to ensure that you keep up with your payments to all of the different women.
