Sometimes it is good to not be famous

A Barrie woman has filed a request to an Ontario court to compel actor Keanu Reeves to provide a DNA sample as part of a bid to get support for herself and her four children.

Karen Sala, 46, who is acting as her own lawyer, filed notice on Monday in the Superior Court of Justice family branch. Legal papers were served on Reeves' business manager in Los Angeles two days ago. The first court date for the case is July 6 in Barrie.

"I'm ****ed. I just want him to stand up and be a man," Sala said in an interview yesterday.

A spokesperson for the actor said Reeves denies even knowing Sala and strongly rejects her claims. None of the allegations have been proven in court.

Sala said she has tried "privately" over the years to persuade Reeves to provide support.

She said she has known him since she was 9 years old and he was 7, and briefly lived with his family as a teenager after running away from home. She added that her brother once dated Reeves' sister.

With her children, aged 20 to 25, in post-secondary schools, Sala said she could use financial support to help them complete their education.

In addition to the DNA test, Sala is seeking child support of $150,000 per month, retroactive to June 1988, as well as $3 million per month in spousal support retroactive to November 2006

Looking at the money she is asking for the only thing I could think was that lifetime of playing the lottery did not work out for you

IMO,the 'children' are old enough to get JOBS, and support themselves...//

Wow, that's a world class gold digger.

$150,000 per month child support back to 1988 is $1.65 Million and then $3 Million per month in spousal support back 19 months is another $57 Million.

I don't think she's worth any $60 Million.

She is not sure which kid he fathered so she think he should pay support for all of them

Well from the looks of that photo Mr. Reeves needs some work also...

child support i can understand - it is possible he's their father...

spousal support? just where does this come into play - and why only retro to 2006?

that claim alone makes me think this woman is completely off her rocker

I wonder if an Ontario Court has any weight in Los Angeles anyway??

It's my understanding that in a civil case, the plaintiff pays all expenses of a subpoena (travel, accomodations, per diem) incurred by the person served.

If I knew I were innocent and had the spare time, I'd accept the subpoena and have myself a grand old time flying first class, staying in a five star hotel, eating at the best restaurants, ALL ON HER DIME and rack up expenses, itemized, in SIX FIGURES. Which she would have to pay as she is the responsible party for the costs of the subpoena.

It says she's her own lawyer. It doesn't say she's a GOOD lawyer. The basic objective of a good defense lawyer is to make the cost to plaintiff as painful and expensive as possible so that it's impossible to pursue the lawsuit any further.

She couldn't even complain about the expenses because according to her own lawsuit, it costs about $3,000,000 per month for a decent stay in Ontario.

From the looks of her picture in the news, it's obvious she's had to go without the maid service for quite some time.
