Actor Faizon Love, known for roles including Big Worm in “Friday” and a character in “Elf,” is arrested for child support nonpayment, according to reports from multiple outlets. The New York Post and Breitbart both say Love is detained in connection with a contempt-of-court matter tied to child support obligations.
The accounts also describe Love’s position in court filings made before the detention. He claims he cannot afford the required child support payment. The New York Post adds that Love states he did not earn any money the previous year, and that he therefore could not make the payment.
Breitbart similarly reports that Love argues he cannot pay what is owed and that his arrest occurs amid the ongoing enforcement of the child support order. Both sources frame the dispute as a legal matter involving child support and contempt proceedings, rather than a debate over the underlying parental obligation.
The outlets do not provide additional details in the excerpts about the specific amount owed, the timeline of missed payments, or the court’s final ruling.
