I'm not mad at Icelene - ok, except for the name, but that's her moma's fault
.
Anyway, to me, this is an illustration of what can happen when you have kids out of wedlock. They don't receive anything from the "alleged" father's estate unless he has a will or has otherwise provided for them through a trust, or some other mechanism. How can you be mad at her for looking out for HER OWN kids before she looks out for anybody else
. That's what a good moma does, she takes care of her kids.
If the other babies momas were looking out for their own kids, they would have established paternity when ODB was alive. As soon as the kid was born, get the tests done, take him to court, etc.. It's a shame that ODB died at a relatively young age, but just b/c your daddy was famous doesn't make you any less of a bast*rd [dictionary def] if you're born out of wedlock. Being legally married has its' benefit, including the legal presumption that any kids born to the wife during the marriage are the husband's kids. When you make the choices needed to put you in a situation where you're raising kids of a man who is married to someone else, you have to pay the consequences.
PS - Didn't ODB know about condoms???? Or did he just have strong swimmers
