Singer Ne-Yo is having to deal with former baby mama Jesseca White yet again. The ex-gal pal has hired “every man’s nightmare and every woman’s fantasy” attorney Gloria Allred to assist her in possibly taking the crooner to the cleaners.

White is reportedly incensed that Ne-Yo publicly discussed their agreement to keep secret his non-paternity status about a baby White though she had with the singer.

The story is a complicated one.

Ne-Yo and White had a baby in 2009 and he thought the child was his at first but, in fact, it turned out that it wasn’t. Ne-Yo and his ex agreed to remove his name from the child’s birth certificate. The former lovers also settled the matter to the tune of $575,000, which he reportedly handed over to her and they both agreed to keep the entire incident under lock and key, never to discuss it with anyone.

In September 2012, Ne-Yo appeared on “Behind the Music,” where he opened up the can of beans about the entire ugly drama that involved his non-paternity status with White.

Bad move!  What about the agreement?

Now Allred has allegedly sent Ne-Yo a letter stating that his public account of what took place with regards to the paternity matter with White has rocked the young woman’s world. Allred claims that White is unable to find work, has filed for state aid, suffers from mental anguish and is “beset by nausea, vomiting and hair loss” because of Ne-Yo’s blabbing about their past relationship.

White is now asking for an unspecified out-of-court settlement or else she’ll take her legal threats a huge step further.
