Judge slams Lauryn Goodman as ‘troublesome, unreasonable and demanding’
A judge has slammed Lauryn Goodman as ‘difficult, unreasonable and demanding’ after the mother lost a child maintenance battle against Kyle Walker.
Goodman, 33, was outed for her ‘insatiable greed’ by her Manchester City star ex on Tuesday after the judge ruled in his favour.
Walker, who shares four children with his wife Annie Kilner, was embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it emerged he had fathered a second child with influencer and model Goodman.
The footballer, 34, was dramatically revealed as the father of Goodman’s second child, a girl, four years after they welcomed a son, Kairo.
Judge Edward Hess ruled on Tuesday that Goodman was ‘not reliable, often said what she thought’ and ‘often exaggerated her need to spend money’ in order to receive more funds from the wealthy England star.
The judge wrote: ‘My impression is that the mother is often difficult, unreasonable and demanding […]’.

Walker’s wife Annie, 32, booted him out of their £3.5million mansion in Cheshire after finding out he had fathered Goodman’s second child.
Reporting restrictions have now been lifted in the extraordinary child maintenance case, revealing the jaw-dropping details and staggering amounts of money involved.
A spokeswoman for Walker told MailOnline: ‘This judgment speaks for itself in laying bare Lauryn Goodman’s insatiable greed and relentless pursuit of money.
‘The judge made it clear: she used Kyle as an open ended cheque book and repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted.
‘She then orchestrated a media campaign to feed intolerable and wrongful intrusion into the private lives of Kyle, Annie and their young family.
‘Throughout each court proceeding the judge stated that Kyle adopted a fair and generous stance. These proceedings were never necessary.
‘Kyle’s offer should have been accepted months ago and would therefore have eliminated the need for added stress to all involved.

‘In light of this judgment and the truths it makes public, my client and his family now ask that the media fully respects their rights to a private life as they navigate their next steps.’
Walker, who earns a reported £160,000 a week, was described as ‘grounded and reasonable’ by Judge Hess.
But his former lover was lambasted as a spendthrift who was ‘spending money as if it was going out of fashion’.
Among the revelations in the case were that Goodman strong-armed Walker into buying her a £2.4million mansion, before demanding maintenance payments worth the equivalent of a £350,000 salary.
