Cristal Taylor, 37, who is currently in jail for allegedly trespassing in Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki's home, is pregnant. She had claimed to be expecting Nowitzki's baby (and said the two were engaged) but wasn't believed. However, medical records prove Taylor is telling the truth, at least about the pregnancy.
But - the records do not show paternity. That will obviously require another test.
From the Dallasnews.com:
The off-court drama surrounding Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki took a new turn Tuesday, when medical records obtained by The Dallas Morning News confirmed his ex-girlfriend's claim that she took a pregnancy test and it came back positive.
Cristal Taylor, 37, and Nowitzki's attorney had spent the last week in a war of words over her assertion that she was tested and found to be pregnant when she was jailed after her arrest this month. After she went public in The News, the attorney issued a statement questioning whether she had even been tested.
The following day, last Friday, Taylor responded by offering to take a polygraph test. During that face-to-face jailhouse interview, she also readily signed a release form, giving The News access to her medical records. Federal laws prevent the disclosure of such records without the patient's consent.
Officials at the Dallas County Jail and Parkland Memorial Hospital provided the document Tuesday afternoon. The record showed that Taylor was administered a pregnancy test and that the result was positive. Pregnancy tests do not determine paternity. Taylor has told The News that she and Nowitzki were engaged and that he is the only man with whom she has had sex in the last seven years.
"I can't wait until you get those results," she told a News reporter Friday. "I know they won't lie. Can you hurry up and get them?"
Robert Hart, Nowitzki's attorney said in a written statement after hearing the news:
"This is all new information to us. We have previously submitted written requests through her Beaumont attorney for an independent pregnancy test as well as authorization for release of medical records. We have yet to receive any response.
"We would like to reiterate that if her statements as to her pregnancy are true, Dirk will do whatever can be done to ensure the well-being of the child."
Let's hope all involved think of that unborn baby and do what is in his (or her) best interest!
