“Elf” star Faizon Love claimed he was unable to pay the child support he owed ahead of his Tuesday arrest.
The actor insisted in court documents earlier this year that he could not come up with the $250,000 he allegedly owes a woman named Tiffany Lee, according to TMZ.
The 58-year-old claimed he had not earned a single cent in the last 12 months — and that his highest gross income over the last five years was $13,000.
Additionally, Love defended skipping out on an April hearing in the child support case.
He claimed to have been suffering from a medical emergency at the time, per the outlet.
The “Couples Retreat” star, who was ordered at the time to turn himself in for 90 days behind bars, was arrested Tuesday night in Florida’s Hillsborough County.
He was charged with two counts of contempt of court, according to records viewed by The Post.
Love, who lives in Glendale, California, is being held without bond at Orient Road Jail in Tampa.
In his mug shot, he stared stone-faced at the camera in an orange jumpsuit.
Love’s lawyer did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Tuesday’s detainment is not Love’s first run-in with the law.
Most recently, he was accused of felony assault in February 2025 after a hotel clerk claimed he slammed a credit card machine into her head and broke her glasses.
The alleged attack took place in August 2024.
In July 2025, a judge found sufficient evidence to proceed with the case and scheduled a criminal trial.
Love was also fined $500 and sentenced to a 180-day suspended jail sentence over a 2017 assault at the John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio.
The comedian pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor after he was caught on camera assaulting a valet.

An actor who appeared in Scream 2 is lifting the lid on how much he still makes from the movie nearly 30 years after its release.
“In 1997 I was cast in the role of the film professor in the sequel of the original Scream movie, Scream 2, where I lead a conversation in class about film sequels,” actor Craig Shoemaker wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, June 16, alongside a photo of a royalty statement totaling $34.09.
“The residuals keep rolling in, baby!” he quipped. “What should I buy with my 34 bucks?”
Scream 2 was released in 1997 following the success of Scream the previous year. The sequel reunited Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, as well as introducing new characters played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Laurie Metcalfe, Jerry O’Connell and Jada Pinkett Smith. The film grossed around $172 million worldwide.
Campbell returned to the Scream franchise earlier this year for Scream 7, after declining to appear in 2023’s Scream VI over a salary dispute. According to Variety, she was paid nearly $7 million to once again play final girl Sydney Prescott, while Cox earned $2 million to reprise her role as Gale Weathers.
“When I made that decision, I just didn’t think I could live with myself walking on set,” Campbell said of turning down Scream VI during a February appearance on CBS Mornings. “I just didn’t feel right. I just knew that my value to this franchise was bigger than what had been offered. For me, I needed to make that choice.”
“When I said goodbye to it, I thought that was it. I knew that there was a good chance that would be it,” she added.
Scream 7 director and cowriter Kevin Williamson told Deadline in February that he and Campbell have discussed an idea for an eighth film.
“When you’re sitting on the set at 3 in the morning, you’re like, ‘Well, what would Scream 8 be about?’ And you just start spit-balling,” said Williamson. “And Neve had this great idea, and everyone seemed to run with it. So yeah, if this movie works and people want it, we’re here for the fans. So, if they want it, we’ll certainly give it to them.”
Scream 7 earned over $200 million at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film in the stalwart horror franchise.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden nuptials will be a production on the scale of her huge “Eras tour,” multiple sources tell Page Six.
The event has been under the direction of Los Angeles-based celebrity wedding planner Mark Seed, who has been working on it “for months,” ahead of the July 3 big day, according to insiders.
“He can build something spectacular out of nothing,” one source told Page Six.
And with a whole 20,000 seat arena to potentially fill, he certainly has his work cut out for him. Sources say it will likely take several days to build out the venue for a full-scale wedding and multiple days afterward to take it down again. Tellingly, MSG has no events on its calendar from June 29 through July 6.
If Swift and Kelce are going the whole hog, major remodeling at the venue will be needed.
“It would be an Eras-tour level production,” Darren Olarsch, founder of On The Move Entertainment, a production company based in NoMad, told Page Six.
“It’s doable, but it is like planning a concert. What might be a $300,000 wedding somewhere else, inside the Garden would be $3 million,” he added.
Explaining what it would look like, Olarsch added: “The production team would have to build out overhead structures”— using decorative elements like draping — “to bring down the scale,” from the 150 -foot height ceiling, so it feels more “romantic, close and intimate.”
“They would literally build the wedding venue on the floor. Your own mini stage, dance floor and surrounding tables that are all right there; a venue within a venue.”
And to conceal the four huge tiers of seating, Olarsch says the windowless arena means Swift and Kelce can use lighting to their advantage, as they are completely in control.
“You black out the seats, no one would ever see them. You light the areas you want people to see,” he said.
Regarding the actual look of the wedding and its décor, planners think Swift will want to lean into her trademark style, noting there is likely to be many floral elements, as at the pair’s engagement.
“Given Taylor’s style, she would lean heavily into the romantic, storybook aesthetic that has appeared throughout her eras like, ‘Love Story,’ ‘Folklore,’ ‘Evermore.’
“Some design elements would likely include an enchanted garden, soft candlelight, draped ceilings and fabric with vintage touches,” New York-based celebrity wedding planner Lauren Zizza told Page Six.
A second wedding planner also feels it likely there will be multiple spaces created within the arena for the different parts of the wedding.
“People forget you have a ceremony, a cocktail hour, a dinner dance and an afterparty – you need four distinct spaces.
“I imagine the main floor of the arena would be the place for the dinner and dancing — Similarly to fashion shows where they take over a venue, or the Met Gala. You look at the space and then decide what you want to put it in, rather than letting the space dictate what it is,” the source said.
Within the venue itself there are several options the “Karma” singer and her Kansas City Chiefs fiancé can use, which could allow them to host a more intimate ceremony followed by a larger-scale celebration in the main arena.
“I think the [Infosys] Theater is where the ceremony [would] be,” a source in the wedding industry explained, referring to the venue’s 5,000 capacity Roman-theatre style seated underground venue.
“The ceremony is most important. It could also be in one of the lounges or a restaurant space they close down and rejigger to make it more intimate,” the source added.
No matter which part of the venue is used, Seed and his planning assistants will have to ensure every aspect is union approved, per MSG policy.
“Whoever is working there would have to be complaint with the unions — union electricians, union riggers, the people loading the gear, setting up any stage, all the support is unions,” a music industry insider told Page Six, also noting the cost to insure the venue for the event and workers will be astronomical.
When it comes to arrivals, huge stars like Swift and Kelce and their sure-to-be star-studded wedding guests can’t exactly come via subway or pull up at the front of the venue amid the street hawkers, halal carts and weirdos who hang around Penn Station.
It’s more likely, Swift and Kelce will arrive in blacked-out SUVs at an unmarked entrance off 7thave and 33rd street. There, a secured garage-door on the street level leads underground through a special passageway which goes 5-stories down, then straight up into the building.
As for catering, sources expect Swift, who is often a champion of small businesses and fiercely loyal to her second home, Nashville, is most likely to bring in caterers from that town.
“She’s very generous with making people’s lives [by booking them] rather than using the usual suspects,” said the wedding planner source.
If Seed — so discreet his is ” renowned for never, ever talking about his clients” — is indeed transforming MSG for Swift and Kelce’s mega-wedding, it’s certainly not his first rodeo.
He previously organized Jennifer Lawrence’s wedding to Cooke Maroney in 2019, staging the bash at the historic Belcourt of Newport, a lavish 1894 mansion inspired by Versailles in France.
He also constructed a greenhouse on the lawn of the Los Angeles home of actress-producer Sam Ressler’s parents for her wedding to Jason Borg in April 2022.
If Swift and Kelce do tie the knot at MSG, they won’t be the first to do so.
Funk legend Sly Stone famously hosted a theatrical wedding in 1974 to model Kathy Silva with guests required to wear gold, according to Rolling Stone.
The over-the-top affair turned into publicity stunt for the singer’s the Family Stone backing band, who played a sold-out concert for 21,000 fans.
Some of the soul superstar’s outlandish demands for the ceremony included 100 white doves be released into the arena when the couple said “I do.” However, the idea didn’t fly with MSG, who rejected the request outright.
Then in 1982 a mass wedding took place, when 2,075 couples were united at the same time, organized by the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, a religious offshoot founded in South Korea by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.
MSG also has a lot of nostalgia for Swift. She’s performed there eight times throughout her career, beginning with 2009’s “Fearless” tour.
As well as their families, highly rumored to be filling out the guest list are Swift’s closest pals, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, the Haim sisters and Ed Sheeran, as well as Zoe Kravitz, although its unknown if her fiancé Harry Styles — one of Swift’s exes — will be in the building.

The Prince and Princess of Wales delighted Royal Ascot crowds on Wednesday when they showed up for day two of the prestigious races. Princess Kate was a total vision in bright yellow, commanding all eyes on her in a Roksanda design she’s worn before. The royal couple arrived at the parade ring in a horse-drawn carriage behind King Charles and Queen Camilla, and in the few moments after they stepped out, there was a subtle communication between the royal couple…
After Princess Kate stepped out of the carriage, she instantly engaged in a conversation with The Duchess of Richmond and Gordon, who had also been in the carriage with them for the procession. Suddenly, a hand on her shoulder from William causes her to spin around to face him, opening up the opportunity for conversation between them all. This subtle, non-verbal gesture evoked a smile and a reply from Princess Kate, who was also holding on to her Jane Taylor hat at the time, to prevent it from being swept off in the wind.
The Wales family are very good at under-the-radar corrections while the eyes of the world are watching, as we saw at Trooping the Colour last weekend. Prince William and Kate were joined on the Buckingham Palace balcony by their children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11 and Prince Louis, eight. In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, Kate, 44, was seen subtly correcting where Charlotte should stand, all with a gentle hand gesture. The royal curved her hand to indicate that Charlotte should move closer to the family, and her daughter effortlessly obliged.
Princess Kate’s triumphant return to Ascot
It was a landmark day for the Princess of Wales, who made her return to Royal Ascot after a few years of absence. In 2024, she understandably skipped the racing event as she underwent treatment for cancer. Then, in 2025, Kate was originally scheduled to appear but ended up cancelling her appearance at the last-minute. Fans were delighted to see Kate looking so well and by her husband’s side.

Princess Kate was joined in the Royal Box by her mother, Carole Middleton, who looked stunning in pink for her day out at the races. When images emerged online of them watching the action together, fans couldn’t help but share their love for the duo.
One royal fan noted: “Catherine gets her beautiful looks from her parents, especially Carole. She’s always stunning!!” and a second added: “They both look amazing & Carole Middleton always looks very very classy & elegant, you can see where Catherine gets it from & she suits being in the Royal Box.”

Daveigh Chase, a former child actor known for voicing Lilo in Disney’s animated Lilo & Stitch and playing Samara in The Ring, has died. She was 35.
“Daveigh was the sweetest woman on the planet and this is a huge loss to all of us,” John Ryan Jr., a representative for Chase, told Yahoo. “Daveigh was one of my best friends for the last 17 years and we’ve managed her for over a decade. We were in the middle of a documentary about her during this tragic passing.”
TMZ was first to report Chase’s death. Her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, told TMZ that she died on Tuesday after battling both meningitis and an infection in her blood. He said it had led to septic shock. Hernandez told the outlet that she was hospitalized for malnutrition earlier in June.
“She was the greatest. She loved cats. She worked with cat rescues with us. She was very to herself, ” Ryan told the BBC. “She was not very Hollywood,” he said. “She’d rather eat at Bob’s Big Boy and go home with the cats. She loved acting but wasn’t into the fame scene.
Chase began her Hollywood career in a 1998 episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Over the years, she’s had guest appearances on numerous TV shows, including CSI, Cold Case and Without a Trace. In 2008, she voiced the main character of Betsy on Betsy’s Kindergarten Adventures, a preschool series. Her longest-running role was that of Rhonda, a child bride, in the TV series Big Love, which ran from 2006 to 2011.
But it was perhaps her film roles that she’s most known for. Chase played the younger sister Samantha, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal’s character, in the 2001 cult film Donnie Darko. She later reprised the role in 2009’s S. Darko, a direct-to-video sequel.
In 2002, Chase appeared as the ghostly Samara Morgan in The Ring. That same year, she voiced Chihiro Ogino in the English dub of Spirited Away, from acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. She lent her voice again to Lilo in Disney’s animated Hawaiian adventure Lilo & Stitch, which earned her an Annie Award the following year for Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production.
“I just want to make something that I love and people will respect,” Chase told Interview magazine in 2009. “I want to do things that will change someone’s life, not something they’ll forget about tomorrow.”
In 2016, she appeared opposite Rory Culkin and Nikki Reed in the independent horror movie Jack Goes Home. Her final acting role was in the thriller American Romance that same year.
Chase was arrested on a misdemeanor drug possession charge in Los Angeles in 2018. The year prior, she was arrested as a passenger in a stolen BMW during a traffic stop, resulting in a felony booking for riding in a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
