He mentioned that despite being a reality TV star, he does not appreciate fans sending him their ideologies “from a perspective that’s limited to 47 minutes.”
He further clarified the misconceptions about his child support payment to Karen. Explaining why he is paying only $1,166 in child support to Karen, Deon said, “Karen pays the medical insurance. And so because she pays the medical insurance, which is about $2,000 a month, the legal fair equity of it is that I pay her half of the money she’s paying for healthcare.” Deon also mentioned that Karen and him are now living in separate houses, and he pays the bills of both.
Finally, Deon addressed the most troubling rumour about a romantic involvement with Eric. “I never take to social media like this, but it’s really perplexing when the rumors have come up about Eric and I f***ing,” he said. Deon emphasized that he is currently filming another season of Doubling Down With The Derricos which will delve into the reasons behind his divorce from Karen.
