Football star Terrell Owens goes into detail about how he loss $80 million dollars in career earnings with GQ. Like in most cases, Terrell made bad investments, trusted the wrong people and spent frivolously. Having 4 baby mommas helped drain his pockets also. Most athletes feel they need to lead a luxury lifestyle and think the money will never stop coming in– Wrong! Managing millions was something Terrell couldn’t tackle. Read some of his interview below.
How he lost $80 million:
“I hate myself for letting this happen. I believed that they had my back when they said, ‘You take care of the football, and we’ll do the rest.’ And in the end, they just basically stole from me.”
On being lonely:
“I don’t have no friends. I don’t want no friends. That’s how I feel.”
On baby momma regrets:
He says, “If there’s anything I’m sorry about, it’s getting involved with all that.” He added that he never dated any of the four women he impregnated…mostly they were “repeat offenders.” He resents them for suing him for more child support money as he’s going broke.
On suicide attempts:
He chalks them both up to “misunderstandings.”
On his big fallout with Mo and Kita:
He says he missed Monique and Kita whom he stopped speaking to after he discovered they were trying to sell their own lives as a reality program. “They said they were planning to make me an executive producer, but if we were business partners, don’t you think I would have known about it?”
There’s hope for Terrell yet. He has signed with Allen Wranglers indoor football league for $500,000.
