Khadijah Haqq says her financial situation has changed dramatically amid her divorce from former NFL player Bobby McCray, with the reality star telling a court she is struggling to keep up with her bills and has relied on family and friends for help.
TMZ obtained a declaration Haqq filed as she asks the court to award her child and spousal support. In the filing, she says she earned $25,000 per episode for Hulu’s reality series The Girls, collecting $150,000 in total for the show produced by her close friend Khloe Kardashian.
Haqq says her financial circumstances were very different during her marriage. According to her declaration, she and McCray lived comfortably, regularly taking family vacations, dining at restaurants, renting luxury homes and generally not relying on credit cards.
She says she also did not work extensively during the marriage because she was focused on caring for their children.
Now, Haqq claims she is under significant financial pressure. She says she is using credit cards to cover bills and has borrowed money from relatives and friends to help keep some of the children in private school and pay for their extracurricular activities.
Haqq also claims McCray is rarely in California and does not have a set schedule for spending time with their children. In her filing, she says McCray receives more than $18,000 in disability and NFL retirement payments.
She also says she was the person who cared for McCray after he suffered an injury while playing football.
Haqq is now asking the court for $5,000 per month in child support and another $2,000 per month in spousal support. She is also seeking $100,000 in attorney’s fees.
The requested payments would come as the former couple works through their divorce and disagreements over finances and parenting.
Despite her connection to the Kardashian family and her television work, Haqq’s filing portrays a much more difficult financial reality behind the scenes. She says the lifestyle she became accustomed to during her marriage is no longer sustainable without additional support.
The court has not yet ruled on her requests.
