NFL Star Being Sued by Pregnant Exotic Dancer

The Washington Redskins' Albert Haynesworth is being sued by a Brooklyn, NY stripper who claims he impregnated her then abandoned her upon learning that she was expecting. According to a story published by the New York Post, a woman by the name of Silvia Mena wants $10 million from the football star, whom she says promised to "emotionally and financially support" her upon learning that she was pregnant. Mena claims in court documents that Haynesworth has failed to provide any emotional or financial support since then.

"It is very stressful, I cry all the time," Silvia Mena told the Post.
The 25-year-old exotic dancer alleges that Haynesworth met her in Miami during Super Bowl Week and later invited her to his Tennessee home.

Mena's lawyer told the New York Post that he was filing the suit in Brooklyn Supreme Court today. "This man is worth millions," Salvatore Strazzullo said. "She has had to apply for Medicaid to take care of her pregnancy."
