7) Gabriel Aubry

As one of Canada’s most sought-after male models, Gabriel Aubrey had no trouble meeting rich and famous women in his line of work. He met and charmed Halle Barry in 2005. The pair became an immediate couple, having a daughter together three years later. In 2010 they announced their separation and the divorce was finalized in 2012. That’s when the trouble started. Aubrey was apparently fine with what he got from Barry at the time, but instead began to use their daughter as a wedge to gain financial access.

He may have been a top model, but apparently he didn’t make enough money to support his daughter half the week in the couple’s joint custody arrangement. He insisted on getting $20,000 a month in child support, plus $50,000 in court costs. Halle’s new fiance got involved, ugliness ensued, punches were thrown, and eventually the couple worked out some sort of amicable agreement.
