He’s Got A Pickup, A Dog And A Needy ‘Love-Child’
Country star Clint Black and his wife, ex-“Knot’s Landing” star Lisa Hartman, are mad at the mother of Black’s so-called “love child.”
On “A Current Affair” and “Entertainment Tonight,” they described the woman, with whom Black had an overnight affair in 1989, as a “blackmailer” and “extortionist.”
And mom’s not happy. “They have trashed me, making me look like this terrible, vicious person,” says Renee Lynn Bain of Scottsdale, Ariz. “Child support is not blackmail.”
Bain met Black in 1989 when he was singing in a Phoenix club. They spent the next night together, and biology ran its course.
Black claims his daughter is “being well-provided for” under terms of a secret 1991 support agreement. Bain says Black’s only child deserves more, that she shouldn’t have to ride “on a borrowed horse.”
