Once U.S. Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas came home with the gold, we just knew it would be only a matter of time before the family started showing their asses over his newfound wealth.
RadarOnline.com is reporting that all hell broke loose now that Gabby a golden child. Gabby is expected to bring Home $ 10 million in endorsements in the next few years and up to $ 100 million in his lifetime according to some estimates.
With these big bucks at stake, it is not surprising that they are growing tensions between Gabby's mother, Natalie Hawkins and his father, Timothy Douglas. A source close to the family at The National Enquirer gabbed about family disputes:
"Both sides of the family of Gabby are jockeying to be in compliance with the goose that laid the golden egg," said a source close. "Meanwhile, poor Gabby is caught in the middle."
Timothy Douglas is a sergeant in the Virginia Air National Guard. He was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and while he may be a war hero, he stands on a pedestal of noble with his family.
He is in the midst of a bitter divorce with Gabby's mother and Gabby spoke out now as he failed to pay child support. Then Papa Douglas isn't nice as father of the year now.
Some of the new drama is extending beyond Daddy Douglas and spilling over to his side of the family, Radar reports.
One of the main points of contention is that on his side of the family was not given tickets to Olympic events.
«Dad Gabby has relatives in London to see her compete, but she did not have tickets to get them in events, "the source said. "They had to watch a lot of his competitions on TV monitor out."
Gabby's grandmother can Douglas added: "we don't know how many tickets have been given and how they have been given, we only know that they were not given to us."
Another source said: "Timothy and his family suspected Natalie had to do with them not being able to access the Gabby competitions, and are furious to be cut!"
This is a movie we've seen before. When switched on the lights, all the shedding of cockroaches. You know that if Gabby had won a bronze medal at these people wouldn't be worrying themselves about any of this at all.
I hope Gabby can keep his head in the midst of all this tomfoolery of tom and keep your eyes on the prize.
She needs to worry about herself now. Let his father his job issues.
