Brittany Renner, PJ Washington Engage Heated Child Custody Dispute

Brittany Renner and Dallas Mavericks player PJ Washington engaged in a highly public and contentious custody exchange over their son, Paul Jermaine Washington III, which was captured on video and widely circulated on social media. Renner expressed concern that their son consistently cries during handoffs and accused Washington of not being sufficiently engaged in their child's life, while Washington accused Renner and her mother of "babying" the child. The confrontation escalated with Washington using profane language towards Renner and her mother, who responded with equally harsh insults, further inflaming tensions. Renner's mother also criticized Washington for allegedly prioritizing financial support to his wife, Alisah Chanel, over their son. The incident highlights ongoing difficulties in co-parenting between Renner and Washington, who have a strained relationship following their separation in 2021. Public reaction has been mixed, with some social media users defending Washington's efforts despite a limited visitation schedule, and others criticizing the volatile nature of the exchange.
