Faizon Love Arrested in Florida on Child Support Contempt

Actor Faizon Love was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, and is currently being held without bond on contempt of court charges related to a long-running child support and paternity dispute. The 58-year-old comedian was booked into the Hillsborough County jail system after a judge ordered his arrest for failing to comply with court directives.

Court records indicate the contempt charges stem from Love's alleged failure to attend a scheduled hearing on April 8 and to submit requested financial documents. The judge subsequently ordered a 90-day jail sentence. The underlying case involves claims by a woman named Tiffany Lee that Love owes substantial child support, with amounts cited in filings exceeding $250,000. Earlier this year, Love submitted documents to the court stating he had earned no income in the previous 12 months and that his highest annual income over the past five years was approximately $13,000, arguing he could not meet the financial obligations. He also cited a medical emergency for missing the April hearing. The court found these explanations insufficient and proceeded with the contempt order.
