Chris Bosh's Child's Mother Allison Mathis Applies For Food Stamps

Miami Heat star Chris Bosh is fighting Oklahoma City Thunder for his first championship ring on the court but his ex-girlfriend and mother of his only daughter Trinity is fighting for survival – if we believe the reports. Chris and Allison Mathis have been entangled in bitter court battles over custody, Basketball Wives and visitation times. Chris’s reputation has remained intact through out the battles but this latest news may hit him hard.

According to GossipExtra, Allison was recently laid off which has caused her life to spiral out of control. Her home is reportedly near foreclosure and she was forced to apply for food stamps since Chris’s $2,600/month is not sustainable.

It’s unclear if this is the real amount Allison receives per month but with the NBA player’s $18 million/year salary his child support payments per state regulations would be closer to $30,000/month!!

“My client just lost her job and applied for food stamps for her and Mr. Bosh’s daughter. She’s about to be foreclosed on, he won’t help her and all he wants to do is go to London with his daughter. Are (you) kidding?”

Orlando family law attorney Jane E. Carey added,

“He wants to take his daughter across the world for a photo op. It’s just for a photo op. He doesn’t care. He hasn’t been decent to my client and his daughter.”

Chris Bosh has since remarried to Adrienne Bosh and they welcomed a son, Jackson, earlier this year. Do you think Chris Bosh should help the mother of his child?

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
