Canadian says Hollywood star fathered her child, seeks millions

Toronto, July 7 (IANS) A Canadian woman has demanded millions in child and spousal support from Hollywood star Keanu Reeves for allegedly fathering one of her children.
Forty-six-year-old Karen Sala, who lives in Barrie near here, appeared in a family court Monday to demand that the star of The Matrix and Speed give her $3 million in spousal support, $150,000 per month in child support since 1988 and undergo paternity tests for fathering one of her four children.
All her children are now between the ages of 20 and 25. Forty-four-year-old Reeves lived in Toronto in the 1980s before moving to Hollywood.
In her court documents, the Canadian woman said she knew him when he was just nine years old.
She said she had sexual relations with the film star during her troubled marriage and that Reeves may have fathered one of her children.
The woman said in papers that “I have been through hell and back. The kids have been hell and back.”
She failed to specify why she didn’t file support claim when the children were minors.
However, Lorne Wolfson, the Canadian lawyer for the Hollywood star, dismissed the woman’s claim as “totally frivolous.”
The lawyer said, “Mr Reeves’ position is that the claims are totally frivolous, that he never had an intimate relationship with Ms. Sala, that the children are not his children.
“This case should be dismissed at the earliest opportunity.”
The next hearing is set for August 20.
