Yesterday, there was some back and forth between various media outlets regarding Ryan Phillippe’s baby daddy drama. People Magazine, official celebrity outlet, claims that Ryan knew Alexis Knapp was pregnant almost the whole time, while Us Weekly claims that Alexis sprang her second-trimester bump surprise on Ryan, second-hand, when she told his friends at a party. I don’t really know which version to believe – I would hope that it’s People’s version, what with Alexis telling Ryan from the beginning, but you never know in Hollywood. TMZ isn’t sure either – they’ve got different sources claiming two different things regarding the issue of prenatal financial support. According to Team Alexis, Ryan isn’t helping her out financially at all. According to Team Ryan, he’s been paying her expenses:
The woman who claims Ryan Phillippe is her soon-to-be baby daddy says Ryan is a pre-natal deadbeat dad because he hasn’t paid any of her expenses … but we’re told that’s just not the case.
Alexis Knapp says her baby — due in June — is definitely Ryan’s. For his part, Ryan says he’ll take a DNA test when the baby is born and if it’s his … he’ll step up and support the kid.
But sources connected to Alexis claim while she’s been incubating, she hasn’t received a dime from Ryan and she’s hurting financially because she’s unable to work.
But sources connected to Ryan tell us Alexis is lying — that Ryan has been paying Alexis’ expenses, despite the fact that he has no obligation to do so until a judge establishes paternity.
We’re also told Ryan is furious, because Alexis agreed that if Ryan paid to support her during her pregnancy, she wouldn’t go blabbing to the media — which Ryan’s people believe she has done.
As one source connected to Ryan put it, “File this under the category, ‘No good deed goes unpunished.’”

Okay, the version I’m believing right now, at this very moment, is that Ryan knew about Alexis’s pregnancy from the beginning, and that he’s been paying her bills in an effort to keep her quiet. For whatever reason, Alexis decided to start leaking her story, and now Ryan is pissed off.
Also: In Touch Weekly (via Jezebel) claims that Ryan “suggested” Alexis get an abortion when he first heard about it. Which… I mean, that’s one of the options, right? I would be surprised if one or both of them didn’t bring up abortion. ITW says Alexis “refused”. Oh, and that Ryan didn’t tell Amanda Seyfried about his baby daddy drama, and now Amanda is “torn apart” about whether she should stay with Ryan. Amanda, girl, ENOUGH. Walk away. You do not need this crap.
Oh, and Alexis has kind of a Megan Fox thing going on, right?
