Brittany Renner, an influencer, has decided to close the chapter on her child support case with NBA player PJ Washington. Renner explained that she chose to dismiss the case and move from Los Angeles to Atlanta, prioritizing her own happiness and the well-being of her 4-year-old son over the financial support. Washington had been ordered to pay $5,500 per month in child support before Renner dropped the case.

Why it matters

Renner's decision to end the child support case and move to Atlanta highlights the complex dynamics of co-parenting and the challenges faced by single parents, especially those in the public eye. Her choice to prioritize her own happiness and her son's well-being over the financial support reflects a growing trend among some public figures to redefine traditional notions of family and success.

The details

In a recent interview, Renner spoke openly about her decision to drop the child support case, explaining that the legal battle was weighing on her and that she felt like she was failing her son. Renner also revealed that Washington had not seen their son since May 2025, and she expressed her belief that if a parent is not involved in the child's life, then the financial support alone is not enough. Renner noted that her move to Atlanta was a choice to be happy in the present, rather than focusing on the legal battle.

  • Renner and Washington's son is 4 years old.
  • Washington signed a $90 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks in September.
  • A court had ordered $5,500 a month in child support before Renner dismissed the case.

What they’re saying

“At my request, my ongoing child support case in California has been dismissed. I don't know many 'gold diggers' who would willingly walk away from the opportunity to take a bitter BD (especially one who just signed for $90M) to the cleaners. But then again, this ain't that and that ain't this! Moving to Atlanta was choosing to be happy TODAY.”

“A big part of wanting to stay in California was the child support stuff. As a mom, I felt like I was failing my son.”

“If my child's father doesn't want to be around and all you're good for is money, well then give me more of it...”
