Kourtney Kardashian’s ex begged her to get a DNA test for Mason before he sued

Late last week we heard that a man had filed a paternity suit claiming to have slept with Kourtney Kardashian around the time her oldest child Mason was conceived. Male model Michael Girgenti, stage name “Premo Stallone,” claimed to have had unprotected sex with Kourtney after they did a modeling shoot together, about nine months before Mason was born. Michael made these claims to multiple press outlets, starting when Mason was a newborn. Apparently he’s been trying to get Kourtney’s attention for years and only resorted to a paternity suit when Kourtney refused to respond to him. Kourtney has always maintained that her partner, Scott Disick, is Mason’s father.

Star Magazine (via Radar) has obtained a letter that Michael sent Kourtney in April. It was an ultimatum begging her to submit Mason for a DNA test so he could determine if he was Mason’s father. He said that he didn’t want to break up her family, but that “Mason deserves to know the truth.” He also said he would take the issue to court if she didn’t respond, which is exactly what he did:

Before he slapped her with a paternity lawsuit, the male model claiming to be the father of Kourtney Kardashian‘s son Mason wrote an impassioned letter in which he begged the reality star to submit the three-year-old to a DNA test, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In the missive — dated April 23 — Michael Girgenti threatened Kourtney, 34, that if she failed to meet his demand, he would be forced to ask the courts to intervene.

“My attentions [sic] are not to hurt the family you’ve created with Scott [Disick],” wrote Girgenti, who last week filed paperwork in a Los Angeles court asking for joint custody of Mason Dash Disick. “But at the same time, Mason deserves to know the truth.”

The 26-year-old handsome model — who has claimed that he had unprotected sex with Kourtney nine months before Mason was born — went on to profess his love of family and announce his plans to take care of his would-be child.

“I assure you I don’t take being a father lightly,” he noted in the letter, obtained by Radar. “I will be a great father to Mason.”

“Please take this final request for a DNA test seriously,” he concluded, adding: “Because if you don’t, I will be forced to take legal action and sue.”

In an exclusive interview with Star magazine, Michael explained his intentions behind the letter.

“This is Kourtney’s last chance,” he said, earlier this year. “My next step will be to take her to court and sue her for a paternity test. I’m tired of not knowing if Mason is my child and I want the constant wondering to end.”

Indeed, it will: A hearing for the case was set by a judge for later in August.

In response to Michael’s claims, Kourtney’s lawyer said that he’s out for money, basically. “This individual has been selling false and fabricated stories to the tabloids for years about Kourtney Kardashian and her son, Mason. Scott Disick is Mason’s father. We have not seen the reported court filing, but we are informed that this individual has been seeking to get paid to publish his ridiculous pleading. His claims are absurd and this is simply another shameful attempt to gain publicity and profit from fictional stories about my client.”

So Michael sent Kourtney this letter on April 23. He already had gone to the tabloids several times, most recently in March when he scored the cover of In Touch demanding a DNA test and pleading “I just want to meet my son.”

Kourtney basically had two options: ignore the guy and try to discredit him, or submit Mason to a DNA test, thereby admitting she slept with Michael and that he could be the father. Whether he’s the father or not, giving in to him would bring her a lot of bad publicity. I mean it would have been the right thing to do if she thought it was a possibility, but she also would have had to deal with a media sh*tstorm. That’s not to say that Michael doesn’t deserve to spend time with his son, if Mason is his son, just that I understand why Kourtney waited. It’s not like Michael contacted her privately and tried to keep it under wraps. He was talking to the tabloids from the moment Mason was born.
