Dallas Mavericks forward PJ Washington his ex-girlfriend accused Brittany Renner of threatening to have court documents served on him during an NBA game, Us Weekly can report exclusively.
we obtained court documents filed by Washington’s legal team in North Carolina. The 27-year-old NBA star asked a judge to block Renner’s efforts to move his custody case to California. (Renner, 33, filed a new case in September 2025 in Los Angeles. Washington dismissed the case. A judge has yet to rule.)
Washington said California “has no personal jurisdiction” over him. He argued that he has no ties to the state. He asked the North Carolina judge to deny Renner’s motion.
In his filing, the NBA star claimed that Renner’s attorney in California made “blatant threats” in an effort to “coerce” him into agreeing to move the supporting battle to California.
Washington’s attorney said Renner’s attorney “threatened to (make Washington) serve in person on national television during his National Basketball Association game if he did not succumb to (Renner’s attorneys’) demands. (Renner’s) antics and scare tactics are familiar to this Court given how this matter began and are still inappropriate and should not be rewarded by this Court.”

In an alleged email from Renner’s attorney to the Washington Advocate, dated Nov. 14, 2025, Renner’s attorney explained that he planned to serve the NBA star. He noted that the Mavericks were set to play the Los Angeles Lakers on November 28, 2025.
“There are currently 8 entrances in Section 102, immediately behind the visitors’ bench where Mr. Washington will be seated,” Renner’s attorney said. “I plan to purchase all eight tickets (which have an average price of $2,317 per ticket) to ensure that there are no issues with my process server being able to effect service.”
The letter noted that the Mavericks also played on November 29, 2025 against the Los Angeles Clippers. “There are several tickets available for section F10, rows C and D (directly behind the visitors’ bench). These tickets are selling for over $2,000 each. Once again, I intend to purchase all available tickets to ensure that my process service can effect personal service on Mr. Washington.”

ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGARenner’s lawyer noted that he remained hopeful that he would not have to “resort” to such “measures to avoid the unnecessary and inevitable press coverage that Mr. Washington will receive as a result.” In the filing, Renner’s legal team argued that because Washington played several games in California during the NBA season, it did have ties to California. His team disagrees.
Renner’s attorney continued, “In good faith, to avoid any negative press for Mr. Washington and to avoid escalating attorney’s fees, we respectfully request that Mr. Washington (agree to have the case moved to California).”
“Please review the same with Mr. Washington and provide an executed version to my office by November 18, 2025. If we do not receive a signed stipulation and order by November 18, I will have no choice but to purchase bench tickets for the November 28 game against the Lakers and the November 29 game against the Clippers,” he concluded against the Clippers.

As Us first reported, in her California case, Renner sought an increase in the $5,500 a month Washington was paying in child support for her 4-year-old son, Paul III. She believed the amount should be $35,000 because her expenses were higher after moving from North Carolina to Los Angeles. He also noted that he had no steady income after he left Basketball Wives.
“I’m struggling to make ends meet and I can’t give Paul III a life like his father,” Renner said, “To put into perspective how ridiculous the current orders are, the current child support payments … will include 0.30 percent of (Washington’s) monthly income. That’s less than half a percent … of what (Washington) earns.”
In response, Washington claimed that he had already settled the child support issue in his previous court battle filed in North Carolina.
He stated Renner agreed that $5,500 was enough for her son’s needs. According to the settlement, the exes agreed to share joint custody.
Washington told the court that less than a year after reaching the support agreement, Renner was in a Los Angeles courtroom asking for a massive raise.
In his reply, Washington claimed that Paul III was conceived in North Carolina, not California. “I did not have intercourse in California that could have caused Brittany’s pregnancy with Paul III,” he alleged. “Paul III was conceived in North Carolina. During the entire period of my relationship with Brittany, we visited California together only once, for a couple of days.”
Washington wrote, “I do not, and have never consented to a California court modifying a child support order entered by a North Carolina court.
The case is ongoing.
