Mario Lopez talks Halle Berry's child support: ‘People are freaking out’
Mario Lopez may report on the lifestyles of the famous, but usually he doesn’t discuss them too much in detail. However the host of Extra chatted with Bethenny Frankel on her new show Bethenny during a Monday taping explaining why fans were shocked about the court order between Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubrey. Last week Berry was ordered her to pay her baby’s daddy Gabriel Aubry $20,000 a month in a custody agreement.
“People are freaking out because of the sum,” said Mario Lopez on the Bethenny show, dishing on the child support expected every month. “But also because it’s a woman paying it for a man and most of the time the shoe is on the other foot.”
While in Hollywood $20,000 may not be a lot of money to actors, in today’s economy for some people it is the salary for a year. Keeping some perspective has many wondering how someone could be paid so much to take care of a child part-time.
