Brian Urlacher’s Baby Mama Wants $125 Mil!!

18 Jan, 2018

The mother of Brian Urlacher’s 12-year-old son has filed a $125 million defamation lawsuit alleging the former Bears star conspired with his attorneys and a newspaper reporter to portray her as “a bad Mother, unfit and a killer.”

But Urlacher’s attorney blasted the lawsuit as a recycled hash of false statements.

Tyna Karageorge, 45, formerly Tyna Robertson, is representing herself in the lawsuit she filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court. She said in a phone interview that she has not had custody of her son Kennedy since shortly after the Dec. 29, 2016, death of her husband, Ryan Karageorge.

The couple were arguing at their Willow Springs home after a birthday party when her husband grabbed her purse, pulled a gun from it and shot himself in the head, Tyna Karageorge told police at the time, according to her lawsuit.

Karageorge’s lawsuit also names the Chicago Tribune and reporter David Haugh, saying they conspired with Urlacher to portray her as a killer.

Urlacher, who has joint custody of Kennedy with his ex, was awarded temporary custody of the child soon after his stepfather’s death, the Tribune has reported. The Tribune, in a story by Haugh, reported last January that the investigation into his death remained open at the time, a detail confirmed in documents included in Karageorge’s lawsuit.

In her lawsuit, Tyna Karageorge alleges that Urlacher “plotted” with his attorneys and Haugh to convince the public that she had killed her husband in an effort to influence her child custody case. The Tribune’s story ran after Urlacher won temporary custody.

“My life has been ruined by what transpired,” Karageorge said Wednesday. “People perceive me as a murderer even to this date.”

Urlacher said in a text message that he was unaware of the lawsuit. Donald Schiller, one of his attorneys, said the lawsuit was “essentially a reiteration of the same false statements, twisting of facts and quotes out of context that she has claimed and filed in Court proceedings all during this case. None were found to have merit.”

“The Tribune’s reporting was based on court documents and defames no one,” Bruce Dold, the Tribune’s publisher and editor-in-chief, said in a statement. “David Haugh is an outstanding columnist who at all times has done what journalists do: report the facts on stories of interest to the public.”
