Three years before January Jones got knocked up with Patrick Stewart’s bastard (I’ll guess this yet!) she kept out of spite, Minnie Driver pulled a similar stunt while working on the FX series The Riches and birthed a baby that apparently I spent a lot of time saying was Criss Angel‘s because 2008 was a randy time in the sunset of my youth or however Hemingway used to describe drinking a lot of malt liquor. Jump to this week, where Minnie’s decided to basically out the father along with telling people he dumped her as soon as she found out she was pregnant and basically sucks at being a dad. (As a frame of reference of how well Minnie Driver handles break-ups, a lot of you probably think Matt Damon famously dumped her on an episode of Oprah. Never happened.) Via The Daily Mail:
But now Minnie Driver has come forward to reveal that three-year-old Henry’s dad was a writer on her former television show The Riches.
The 42-year-old actress said the reason she had decided to disclose the man’s identity was because she doesn’t ‘need to protect him any more’.
She added to The Observer magazine: ‘He can fend for himself. He’s a grown-up.
‘We weren’t together and he wasn’t directly in the business so I chose to protect him and not have a rain of publicity.
‘He’s not famous. There’s no big story.’
It had been reported before that the father was a TV writer, who ended his relationship with Driver when she found out she was pregnant.
However, Driver admitted that the man, who she still refused to name outright, has now increased his involvement in their son’s life.
She said: ‘Is he a good dad? Sort of. He’s figuring it out… I mean, he hasn’t been that involved, his choice. But he is now.’
Minnie Driver goes on to say she’d like to have more children except she can’t find a partner or steady work which sounds hard to believe for someone openly spilling secrets in the press about getting knocked up by a writer on her last job. It just doesn’t add up.

I’d be more than willing to impregnate her
Batshit crazy or not, she was absolutely fucking brilliant on ‘the riches’. That was an incredibly well written show, with top flight performances by all the main actors.
“The Riches” was a very good show.
Very well written.
Chances are, most of the great lines that came out of
Minnie’s mouth were put there by this anonymous writer.
“He’s not famous. There’s no big story”.
Perhaps he should’ve put his cock in that mouth,
and there would be NO story.
I want to stick my penis in her vagina…but I may need to have a couple of drinks first.
…..She always seems to have that permanent balls busting look about herself.
He didn’t dump her when she found out she was pregnant. He dumped her when HE found out she was pregnant.
Hey Minnie! Demi called, she’d like her manjaw back.
A+
More like Plotted and Schemed Parenthood, amirite?
“Mind fuck. I give good ones.”
Are you sure this isn’t Phoebe Price?
Wow seriously eery resemblance!
Well, hell, I was going to the store for a pack of cigarettes, but I’ll fuck her if she wants me to.
what the hell are all those brwon spots on her chest…ugh over 40 and has that already, i hate the granny skin look.
I just noticed you have every woman I want to hook up with today. Minnie Driver, Megan Fox, Kelly Brook, and Jwoww. Damn dude you know what I like.
…Because bat-shit crazy bitches give the best head???
This post is unfair, even for you. She tried to protect the jackass that knocked her up and ran and you are being a prick about it. Dude.
You’re absolutely right, “Double-D”!
How on EARTH was Minnie supposed to know that having unprotected sex with a man might lead to pregnancy?!?
Fish is such a heartless bastard!
Blah,blah, blah, etc. etc. etc.
A lover and a married/attached person got together. A baby was made.Then the married/attached person angered the lover. A blog post was born.
“He’s not famous. There’s no big story.” = “If he were famous, I’d drag his name through the mud like I did to Matt Damon. But you lot don’t care about someone who’s not a big celebrity, and I probably should have known better than to shag a writer if I wanted to milk some sympathy out of it.”
Also, IMDB lists only two male writers for The Riches, and one of those was the show’s creator—who she probably wouldn’t be referring to as just a writer on the show (unless of course that’s deliberate misdirection on her part). In any case, she may be “still refusing to name him outright,” but she has in fact narrowed it down to two people.
Wow Mr Superficial you are such a narrow-minded arrogant dumbarse. How old are you? 16? The “paint the woman as a b!tch” routine is so boring and really just reads “The writer of The Superficial is still a narrow-minded arrogant dumbarse”.
She looks like she could literally nag you to death.
Damn she’s beautiful.
(Been sprung on her since Good Will Hunting.)
So she waited until the dad started helping to publicly bust his balls, and help narrow down the list?
Oh yum. Gimme some of those freckled titties, please.
I’m 40. I’m virile. I’ll deliver the chowder.
You could at least give the link to the actual interview, as opposed to giving The Daily Fail’s bigoted website more hits!

Okay, look at the picture, now back here:
“NAG! NAGNAGNAG! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGG! NAGNAGNAG! YOU’RE A SHITTY FATHER! NAG! NAG! NAG!”
How close was I?
Could you join this century and reserve the word BASTARD only when referring to republicans? Babies do not deserve that.
Can’t stop hearing her as Carlotta.
She’s hot and she looks like she would give me a boner immediately just by looking at me.
Freckles. An assload of freckles.
Here is another math trick This will work only with 7 digit Phone No. 1. Grab a lluccaator. (You wont be able to do this in your head)2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)3. Mutiply by 804. Add 15. Mutiply by 2506. Add the last four numbers of your phone number7. Add the last four numbers of your phone number again8. Subtract 2509. Divide number by 2 Do you recognize the answer? IS’NT IT YOUR PHONE NO:?
She did a fuck ton of tanning and we never got to see her in a bikini. What the fucking fuck? If you’ve got the titties and the body then you need to show the world in photographic glory before you turn into a freckled horror. Looking at those freckled titties I know she wore a thong. Fucking fuck.
Love the freckles.
I’d do her!
