LAS VEGAS, NV—In a shocking revelation that sent shockwaves through the Las Vegas community, Pawn Stars cast member Chumlee revealed Monday that he’s been living in a box for the past decade to avoid child support payments.
“I’ve been in this cardboard box since 2008, when I was forced to move out of my old house after my wife took me to court for not paying child support,” said the reality TV star and pawn shop employee, who explained that he had been sleeping in a cardboard box ever since he was evicted from his home and forced to live on the streets.
“I just couldn’t afford it. I mean, I was barely making minimum wage at the shop and had no other way to make money. It just wasn’t possible. But now that I’m on TV and making money from appearances and merchandise, I can finally provide for my kids again. And it feels great.”
At press time, Chumlee had reportedly sold his own son to Rick Harrison for $750.
