Why didn’t Eddie come clean about this earlier. Why did it take all the drama for him to accept responsibility for this innocent child?

<blockquote><span style=”font-style:italic;”>ET breaks the following statement that was released on behalf of EDDIE MURPHY in regards to MELANIE BROWN, who earlier this week had her attorney, GLORIA ALLRED, file a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court asking the court to name Murphy as the father of Brown’s infant daughter, ANGEL.
The statement reads as follows: “Eddie Murphy always has and will continue to honor his responsibilities as a father. Mr. Murphy and Ms. Brown dated very briefly and never made any plans of ANY sort. He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy. Mr. Murphy views this as a private matter and as such, will not be making any further comments about it.”
Angel was born on April 3 and a DNA test reportedly established Murphy as the father several weeks later.
In a press conference last Wednesday, Allred alleged that Murphy has not provided financial support, nor has he seen the baby girl.
Murphy was quoted on Dutch TV during Brown’s pregnancy as saying, “I don’t know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test.”

I was thrilled to see Nicole Murphy & Melanie Brown introduce the children – very classy and shrewd move on their parts.
