“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.

Jelly Roll was missing on stage at Post Malone’s concert days before his divorce news broke.
A week before it was revealed the “Save Me” singer, 41, filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo, he shared a health update to TikTok. He revealed that he paid a visit to the hospital after battling a sinus infection.
“So, I went to the hospital last night in Charlotte, North Carolina,” Jelly Roll shared. “Shout out to that whole hospital. They literally got me on my feet for the show.”
The singer, whose real name is Jason DeFord, was put on “a bunch of steroids” due to his symptoms.
This was the first time he was absent on stage since joining Post Malone on his Big A– Stadium Tour.
Jelly Roll said the singer checked in on him after learning he wasn’t feeling well.
“The next night, he sends me a big flower bouquet,” he said, displaying an attached note that read, “Get well soon, Mofo! Love Ya.”
Jelly Roll then mirrored the appreciation, telling his followers, “I love you Post, when I say on stage every night that Post Malone is the nicest human in the world. I’m not making that up. [He’s] the most normal dude in the world. Like I love you, Post.”
His admiration for his fellow musician came in the midst of his divorce to Bunnie Xo.
After ten years of marriage, the “Save Me” singer, 41, filed for divorce from the Dumb Blonde podcast host, 46, in Williamson County, Tennessee on May 18. Within the court records, the two split due to irreconcilable differences.
This marks the second time the pair have split during their courtship.
Two years into their marriage, the couple had briefly broken up after Bunnie had learned Jelly Roll engaged in a 10-month affair.
After taking some time apart, the couple sought professional help and partook in therapy together. Despite describing it as “the best decision I ever made” on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Bunnie made it clear the singer was only getting a second chance.
“Will he get a third? Absolutely the f— not,” she concluded.

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.

NEED TO KNOW
Corey Feldman has said the health scare that caused his hospitalization earlier this week was down to food poisoning
The 54-year-old experienced a medical emergency on a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles on Monday, June 15 and was met by paramedics when he arrived
He explained that a doctor misdiagnosed him and claimed a member of the medical staff informed the media of the misdiagnosis based on preliminary blood test results
Corey Feldman has spoken out about the “misdiagnosis” that saw him hospitalized earlier this week, telling fans that he actually had a case of food poisoning.
The 54-year-old experienced a medical emergency on a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles on the afternoon of Monday, June 15, and was met by paramedics at the gate after his arrival at LAX.
TMZ reported at the time that Feldman felt sick on the flight and was examined by a doctor who was also on board. A rep for the Goonies actor confirmed his hospitalization to PEOPLE, adding that doctors ruled out gallstones as the cause.
Two days later, on the evening of Wednesday, June 17, Feldman shared a video on Instagram in which he told fans he was feeling better and was working on a “brand new rocker” song.
“I don’t even know what it’s called yet, it’s that brand new,” he explained, in what appeared to be a recording studio. “But I like it, we like it, we’re all digging it, it’s pretty freaking cool.”
In the caption, he addressed his medical emergency, writing in all capital letters, “I WANTED 2 TOUCH BASE AFTER THAT BIG OL HEALTH SCARE & LET U ALL KNOW IM ALIVE & WELL!”
He explained that a doctor misdiagnosed him, before claiming that somebody on the medical staff “SENT THAT MISDIAGNOSIS 2 THE MEDIA IN REAL TIME,” based on preliminary blood test results.
“HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY FOOD POISONING THANK GOD! ILL B OK,” he said.
Feldman had been in Chicago to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his 1986 movie Stand by Me, reuniting with costars Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton at an event on Sunday, June 14.
In an Instagram post later that evening, he shared photos from the city and also told fans that he visited a monument to Michael Jackson at the late singer’s childhood home in Gary, Indiana, while on his travels.

He added that the weekend marked the final weekend of Stand by Me’s 40th anniversary shows, but said they could add some more dates in the future.
When he, O’Connell and Wheaton spoke to PEOPLE in March, Feldman described the tour screenings as “like a rock ‘n roll tour.”
Elsewhere, Feldman’s latest single, “What Am I Here 4,” is set for release on Monday, June 22, while he’s also set to play two B-Day Bash shows in California later that week to celebrate his upcoming birthday. He’ll turn 55 on July 16.

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.
