Beautiful Kourtney Kardashian is facing a lawsuit from a model who claims he is her son's biological father. Michael Girgenti alleges he had unprotected sex with the reality TV star after they met on a photo shoot in August 2008 and has filed paperwork at Los Angeles County Superior Court in a bid to get joint custody of her three-year-old child, Mason.
According to gossip website TMZ.com, Michael wants the judge to order DNA tests for Kourtney, Mason and her long-term boyfriend Scott Disick, Mason - who is father to her daughter Penelope, 13 months.
The lawsuit documents the alleged relationship between Kourtney and Michael, which he claims heated up in March 2009, when she told him her relationship with Scott was 'on the outs' and 'she wanted to hang.' Meanwhile a hearing has been set for next month.
Kourtney who in March was said to be 'furious' over Gigenti's claims has yet to comment personally on the fresh allegations. And her spokeswoman has not responded to requests for comment.
However her lawyer told TMZ.com on Friday that Gigenti's allegations are 'absurd'.
'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,' Todd Wilson told the website.
'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.'
The reality star was seen outside her lawyer's office on Wednesday, no doubt seeking advice over the embarrassing and upsetting lawsuit.
Michael claims they had full sex and as soon as she had given birth to Mason born on 14 December 2009 - he tried contacting her.
The allegations first came to light in March earlier this year when he said, 'After [Mason] was born, and I saw photos of him, I began to wonder.
'I would definitely want to acknowledge Mason if he's my kid - he deserves to know his real father.'
A legal representative for the Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star previously branded the Chicago native's allegations 'preposterous and an outrageous lie'.
So it must have come as a surprise that the model has now filed papers with the court.
In addition to son Mason, the couple - who have been dating on and off for seven years - have a baby daughter, Penelope Scotland, together.
This is not the first time the extremely wealthy Kardashian family has been confronted by allegations of paternity.
Kourtney's younger sister Khloe, 28, has had to regularly deny rumours that their late father Robert Kardashian was not her biological father.
Their half-sister Kylie Jenner, 15, also recently hit back at reports that Bruce Jenner may not be her real father.
Scott however looked far from his usual dapper self in a multi-coloured chequered shirt, blue shorts and leather shoes. The two left children Mason, three, and one-year-old Penelope at home for their date.
And they certainly seemed to be enjoying some alone time, with Kourtney writing on Twitter 'California love'.
Just last week it was reported that Kourtney was pregnant with her third child.
She did not comment on the rumours, although was later seen eating sushi with her family - a food type pregnant women are advised to steer clear of due to the raw fish ingredients.
