Kourtney Kardashian has deigned to respond to a male model who has claimed for years that may be the father of her oldest child, three year-old Mason Disick. Michael Girgenti, aka Premo Stallone, claims to have had unprotected sex with Kourtney around the time of Mason’s conception. Girgenti believes that the child bears a resemblance to him and is seeking paternal rights. Last week, he filed a paternity suit against Kourtney in order to compel her to submit Mason to a DNA test. Well Kourtney has one-upped the guy, she showed the press a DNA test which proves that Scott Disick is the boy’s father. Only Girgenti isn’t giving up, and plans to pursue his lawsuit. His spokesperson tells Radar Online that it’s possible the test was faked somehow.
Kourtney Kardashian is putting an end to a paternity lawsuit brought on by male model Michael Girgenti, who claims that he is the father of her son, Mason.
According to lab test results, obtained exclusively by E! News, the results prove that Scott Disick is the father!
Kourtney tells E! News: “After three-and-a-half years of rumors and lies being spread by an individual I met briefly at a photo shoot, I am setting the record straight that Scott is Mason’s father. While it saddens me to have to address these ridiculous lies—especially when the truth was never in doubt—this story must be put to rest.” – From E! Online
Scott Disick was just proved to be the father of Kourtney Kardashian‘s son, but the man who claims Mason Disick could be his child doesn’t buy the results, exclusively telling RadarOnline.com he believes the paternity test “could have been fixed.”
“We don’t trust the results and believe it could have been fixed,” a spokesperson for male model Michael Girgenti told Radar.
“Still going to court to fight for court ordered results.”
On Thursday lab results were released showing that Scott is indeed Mason’s father — but Michael plans to follow through with the paternity lawsuit he filed earlier this month in which he claims he had “unprotected vaginal sex” with the reality TV star in March 2009 at his Glendale, Calif. apartment — at the climax of which he “ejaculated inside [her] vagina” — the court docs state. – From Radar Online

It sounds ridiculous that Kourtney would fake a DNA test, but I understand why this guy is insisting that the test be supervised. In my opinion it’s very unlikely the test was faked at all. I doubt that a lab would doctor up results, but what if the sample wasn’t Mason’s? DNA tests can tell gender, although I spoke with a scientist familiar with DNA testing and he said that paternity tests do not typically test for gender. My source writes “You should only be able to tell the sex of the DNA donor when looking at genes on the Y chromosome. Girls would not have them. I have not found any of the genes they looked at according to the pdf to be located on the Y chromosome. Hence, a determination of the donor’s sex is most likely not possible with that screen.” So theoretically, Kourtney could have substituted Penelope’s cheek swab for Mason’s, although I doubt that happened.
I also don’t think this whole story is some elaborate PR stunt as some of you have suggested. This guy is a problem for the Kardashians and they’re hoping he’ll disappear soon. For Mason’s sake, I do hope that the test is accurate and that Scott is his biological father. That would be the best outcome for everyone involved.

I love Penelope’s facial expression in the second picture, but those camera flashes must really be irritating to a baby.
As far as that guy thinking Mason is his baby due to his coloring, did he forget that Mason’s mom is Armenian. And that Mason could’ve taken after her, while Penelope could’ve taken after her father? Genetics does work that way.
I don’t believe for one second that this guy is Mason’s father. This guy is doing this for attention and I think it is awful.
I agree! Doing this to a little boy is completely awful and he should be totally ashamed of himself!
This guy has been doing this since before the K’s were big. He’s been mostly under the radar with it too and only went to the press to put pressure on Kourtney when she ignored him. If Kourtney really wanted this man to go away and knew Mason was not his child she would have dealt with it ages ago quietly.
And that family is not above faking a DNA test.
This will only be worse for Mason now because this wasn’t taken care of ages ago. Now if this guy is the father Mason will be so confused.
I’ll defend a Kardashian here and there because they’re only rich and relatively famous because people willingly read about them and buy their junk, but Kourtney is 100% in the wrong here for not addressing this years ago when it started.
Of course everyone is saying this guy is a creep and how could he do this to an innocent child, blah blah. But he had unprotected sex with Kourtney a little shy of nine months before Mason was born, he had every right to want the question settled. kourtney is the one who deserves criticism for not putting this to rest immediately and sending the guy on his way. Did she get flack from Disick? Did she, herself, have some doubts? Who knows but that man did the right thing by fighting for his rights to have the very real possibility of his paternity determined.
But now that the results are in he should go away and leave this family to themselves. Nothing to see here, folks.
I’ve never understood why people fixate so much on how a baby looks as proof of paternity, a baby can look nothing like his parents even though they’re all related.
An example: I’m Arab and so are both of my parents. We all have dark hair and eyes, except for my brother. When he was younger he had white blond hair and suuuuper blue eyes; we looked nothing alike. He still has blue eyes, though his hair got darker as he got older.
Does that mean that my mom slept with someone else? Duh, no. It just means that we obviously had ancestors somewhere who had blond hair and blue eyes. (Turns out my father was also blond when he was a kid…genetics, y’all! LOL).
Ya we are all Arabs too and my mom is like that. All 6 of her brothers are dark with black hair and she is pale with auburn hair. It comes from her paternal aunt
Victoria Rowell, who’s biracial, has told stories about being called her light-skinned blonde daughter’s nanny. Genetics can be very complex.
But people often don’t think with these statements. I remember accusations that Natalie Portman’s husband could not be ginger son’s father – with Natalie’s redheaded father in the same picture.
Just about my WHOLE family, both sides, are brown eyed with brown hair. There are two abberations-my cousin who has red hair and blue eyes and me, the only blond haired hazel eyed person. Obviously we’re both also very light skinned while everyone else tends a little darker and tans at the drop of a hat. As far as size/facial features, I also look nothing like my immediate family, BUT I look a lot like my maternal grandparents and I have the ‘attitude’ of my dad’s family. So although I never looked like anyone at family reunions, it was always pretty clear who I was related too. As people have pointed out the Kardashian genes are just so dominant that the kids were always going to take more after Kourtney. This creeper just needs to stop looking for his 15
And I think Penelope and Mason look EXACTLY alike.
Penelope and Mason do look alike. But do they look like Scott? No. The Kardashian genes are very strong in those kids, which means they look like Kourntey… Which means the father could be Scott of the model.
I don’t think the test proves anything. I could have mocked that up on my computer. I think it was a dumb move to release that to the press.
I think both the kids eyes look just like Scott’s.
emmie, I totally agree that was a stupid (not to mention OBVIOUS) thing to release to the Press, and if Kourtney wants to prove it was not a fixed test, she needs to let the “model’s people” do their own test.
However, I’ve seen pics of Scott as a baby and I still think the kids DO look like him. But who knows…
So? The “test” is not valid or authentic if not from court-ordered lab in this case. It makes Kourtney look like an idiot.
Yeah. Gotta love how K and S have sunglasses on to protect their eyes, yet let the kids suffer. I hate when Hollyweird parents do that.
Some kids just won’t wear sunglasses; hats, barrettes, bows. They just won’t do it.
I feel Mason was conceived in February. K may have had an encounter with the model in March, but babies really are supposed to come at 40 weeks, not 9 months, or they just arrive when they want to. No mention of Mason arriving early.
Babies come out when they want to. Sometimes premies even look like they’ve stayed in too long…. Didn’t Selma Blair carry for 11months? It happens.
The only way Kourtney can get this guy to go away is to take Mason to a court approved lab and have both sides there and represented so no one can call foul later on.
Kourtney is an idiot for releasing this info to the press. It’s like the whole Khloe paternity thing. Who’s Khloe’s father? Then they do a test to prove Kris is Khloe’s mother and that settles that. Morons!
Florc- the Kardashians were quite big when Kourtney was pregnant with Mason. They were quite rich also. Her story was all over the usual mags back then. So this guy knew she had loads of money and publicity potential from the very beginning. My guess is that she told him long ago that Scott was the dad
and just hasn’t given him the further attention he wanted. I wonder if he asked for cash to shut up and she refused because she knew he wasn’t the father. She was very open about her initial uncertainty three years ago, there really isn’t anything new for him to say.
I’m extremely disappointed to admit this, but I would totally shame f— Scott. No idea why.
I really think Scott’s the father. And if he’s not the biological father, at least he’s being a parent to that child. To me, though, Mason looks a lot like Scott, but with Kortney’s coloring.
I think Scott’s the father because I have a hard time believing he didn’t ask for a DNA test years ago, himself.
I’m right there with you on this . . . isn’t he from money, too? I cannot imagine some moneyed dude NOT wanting to confirm his parentage (future child support) if things were ever in question . . .
or his people not pushing to confirm. does not make sense
I totally agree with this… it’s like people forget that Scott is a presence here as well. There’s no way he’d be toting that child around being a dad to him, listening to rumors from the model and not saying a word. Scott would have been the first to ask for a paternity test if that was a possibility, and that would have been done years ago. This model guy is trying to ride the waves of faux-fame. I, for one, didn’t bother reading his name.
Even with those American Psycho eyes? I’d have to turn the lights off at least.
It’s a shame he’s got crazy eyes! They’re a nice blue… but they’re super psycho looking. I’d have him wear sunglasses or something – might as well up the douche level to the fullest power, haha.
You’re not the only one…
It’s the beard. It suddenly added a level of hot to him that wasn’t there before. Pre-facial hair he just looked too Patrick Bateman sociopath.
It probably IS the beard. I’m on a beard kick.
Yes. That. 100%
He’s too skinny for me- but I can understand some sort of attraction to him. I can’t tell if he’s an *act* or for real. Sometimes he comes off as such an a$$ but other times he’s funny and like-able.
When he’s funny he’s dead on.
so and if the test was saying he is the father it would be all cool for him and kourtney would say the test was fixed…
thats why i dont think newspapers should be allowed to publish something like that without proof. such a claim can be so damaging to a childs identity if they later encounter this on the internet.
i dont know why its even legal to publish lies or stuff you cant proof. what happend to fact checking?
I still think this matter needs to go to court at this point. Girgenti didn’t give a sample and there were no controls in place in insure the integrity of the process. As far fetched as it sounds, the Kardashians could put the fix in; they have means (tons of money); motive (damage to the family brand if Scott is proven NOT the father); and opportunity (doing a private test). I blame Kourtney for this because she dragged it out for three years and not shutting this down when the first accusation flew. Is it going to take Mason to be taunted and bullied in school over this for the K’s to put this to rest correctly? This is not going away. I think the judge is going to rule for maybe dad.
My thoughts exactly.
Agree. If she’s so certain, why not get the test done correctly? Get the guy’s little DNA swab and have him proved wrong by a lab through the courts. The End.
Reminds me of Courtney Stodden saying her breasts were rill on TV even after they filmed the implants!
This was cooked up as damage control by the mother. Not buying it.
+1 to everything you said.
The model is desperate for substantial monthly support payments but he’s grasping at straws now. The money is going to dry up but he’s managing to stretch it a little further. I’d be very careful with those DNA results and possible tampering by this a-h0le.
There is no way that result is a fake. That lab is one of the biggest and most reputable labs in the country. The three of them would have gone to one of its labs in L.A. to have their sample taken; that sample would have been securely shipped to the HQ in North Carolina where all paternity DNA testing is done. The person who signed that test result is an Associate V.P. of LabCorp and the Director of the paternity lab testing facility.
LabCorp is a Fortune 500 company, with more than $4 BILLION in annual revenues. They are one of the 30 or so labs in the country that do court-ordered tests. Credibility is vital to their business. Anybody who believes those results are fake is delusional!
Lab technicians can still be bribed. LabCorp being a Fortune 500 means nothing. Shady dealings take place even in the best of companies. And Girgenti has not given a sample.
I’m not pro-Kardashian but shame on this guy for this. This is a child’s life you’re messing with.
Took the words right out of my keyboard. Shame on this dude for trying to mess with a family for fame and fortune. While the parents aren’t my favorite people, he has NO RIGHT to f*ck around with the life of an innocent little kid!
Unless of course it is his child. Wouldn’t you want to know if it was yours? They also could have taken care of this 3 years ago, no fuss, no muss. Personally, I think the model is a dick to do this to a child now.
Wow. If he thinks this may be his son, he has every right to insist that the test be done under court order by an impartial party. We don’t know his motive as we don’t know him – certainly he may simply want to be involved with his son’s life, if Mason is his son. If that is his motivation to spend money on an attorney, then I think we can admire that. In the best of all worlds, Mason could have two good, loving Dads IF both men conduct themselves honorably and with only Mason’s best interests at heart. And if this man is Mason’s Dad, then shame on Kourtney for not being honest and including him in Mason’s life long ago.
Anyone who refers to himself as ‘Premo’ is questionable. Sorry.
with the whole khloe paternity situation, nothing would surprise me with this lot, nothing
Mason is a little Scott mini-me. I’m no Kardashian fan, but this other guy is clearly out for money & notoriety.
K-Fed, the inspiration to men everywhere to get a sweet baby mamma deal.
I wouldn’t trust that bunch with a thing! They have proven to be liars & will do anything to get the outcome to their advantage! Go to court and finally settle this.
They actually thought they would be believed on their word alone? Delusional.
mason what a cutie
See, the guy says he’s a model but I look at that picture and all I see is Dustin Diamond.
OMG! Now that’s all I see! Thanks! 😉
While I know this paternity suit sounds right out of Jerry Springer or Maury Povich, it is actually very interesting from a data/scientific perspective.
There was a study a long time ago that said a significant amount of father’s raising children they believe are biologically their own, when indeed they are not.

Funny/ironic – Kanye has a line about this in his iconic song Gold digger. “And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn’t his.”
I can’t stand this family, BUT if he is lying and she knows it she should just say (thru a lawyer) “Fine let’s go to court and when it is proven that you are lying I am going to sure your ass off for doing this.” IF he is lying, that should shut him up, if he continues then maybe there is truth to it……..
Why didn’t she go to a court one rather than an at home option? Something smells fishy and this time it isn’t Kim.
(It might be Kim.)
LOL
That’s not a home test. LabCorp is one of the 30 or so labs in the country that is accredited to do court-ordered testing. In fact, it’s one of the biggest and most reputable labs there is. The three of them would have gone in person to one of their labs in the L.A. area to have the samples taken, and those samples would have been securely shipped to the HQ in North Carolina where they do all the paternity testing. That result certificate is signed by the Director of the lab. That is a $4 BILLION a year corporation. There is no way those results are fake.
Labcorp… Yeah I know that name. Anytime I’ve gone to the doctor and had work done I remember the bill was labcorp. Thanks for the clarification!
It is just Kim.
Hahha whenever paternity issues come into play, everyone becomes a genetics expert… This is like all those people claiming they DEFINITELY knew the dad of January Jones’ baby because he has blue eyes and if the father had brown eyes the baby would HAVE TO HAVE BLUE EYES TOO BECAUSE OMGZ GENETICS AND RECESSIVE GENES!!!!!!!!
Genetics are extremely complicated and the average person has really little to no comprehension of how they function.
This guy seems like a disgusting fame ho who is intent on abusing this family. Sure, they put their lives on television but that doesn’t mean they should be subject to disgusting allegations like this. This a 3 year old boy, for f’s sake.
I’m glad she got the paternity test to shut this @sshole up. Enough already. He was relentless.
All I got to say is that kids dont always look like there parents! I am a spitting image of my parents but my brother is lily white, blond, and blue eyed. He looks exactly like my great grandfather!
This all reminds me of Legally Blonde :D:
Elle: “Although Mr. Huntington makes an excellent point, I have to wonder if the defendant kept a thorough record of every sperm emission made through out his life.”
Professor Callahan: “Interesting. Why do you ask?”
Elle: “Well, unless the defendant attempted to contact every single one night stand to determine if a child resulted in those unions, he has no parental claim over this child whatsoever. Why now? Why this sperm?”
Professor Callahan: “I see your point.”
Elle: “And for that matter, all masterbatory emissions where his sperm clearly was not seeking an egg could be termed reckless abandonment.”

If Kourtney was a nobody with no money, Kourtney would be the one chasing after this guy for a DNA test and child support, and I doubt this guy would be willing to offer up his DNA for testing, let alone take up parental responsibilities for some nobody’s child.
He has found a cash cow and he’s not letting go. I bet he and his PR team are getting paid by the tabloids.
If he’s really just interested in finding out if Mason is his son, then pursue the case but don’t go running off to the media to give “exclusive” statements. He looks like a famewhore trying to cash in when everything he thinks and says must be said to the tabloids to the point that he has to have a spokesperson representing him. He sounds more like a wannabe celebrity than an ordinary guy wanting to be a father to a child he believes is his.
Also, Scott’s family is well-off. He would have done everything necessary to ensure Mason is his son and the ‘legal’ aspects (ie. inheritance) are all covered. I think he already knows Mason is his biological child. He wouldn’t have stayed with Kourtney if he isn’t Mason’s father and then have another child with her.
Why are people assuming this was a mail-in DYI test? I imagine they already did something like that years ago, since Kourtney said she was unsure and was relieved to find out Scott was the bio dad. They used a lab that does paternity testing for courts. They may very well have done the sampling properly at a facility authorized for such work and handled the samples in the prescribed manner to maintain the proper chain of custody. The actual analysis only takes a few hours today, it’s a routine lab procedure (not just used for paternity testing) with automated equipment. Did Kourtney say it was an informal test? It would seem pointless to pay for expedited handling and not do it in a way that would satisfy a judge. “Court-ordered” doesn’t mean the judge or police are involved in the process. It just means the facilities meet court criteria (e.g., in choosing a rehab for a court-ordered rehab sentence).
I don’t totally think it was a mail-in paternity test. The three of them were see leaving a hospital together a couple of days ago and although it could be wrong, some thought the DNA test had been done there by a doctor.
I’m still baffled at how an entire family can become famous because one member is a porn star. It’s incredible, absolutely unbelievable!
It’s one of the reasons I hate living in America. All over instagram and twitter you see young, young girls to adults that say Kim is their idol and that they want to be just like her. It’s gross and heart breaking to know this is what we’ve reduced ourselves to as far as respectable people and jobs. I loathe Kim and that entire family, plus the other celebrities that continue to walk on water such as Beyonce, RiRi, Beaver boy, and Miley.
Whenever I saw Mason I thought how he looks nothing like Scott though he’s not all Kourtney either. I still can’t help but think Scott is as much Mason’s father as Robert Kardashian was Khloe’s. I think this family has a lot of secrets. I guess we’ll find out soon enough about Mason, and I do hope Scott is his father as it would be heartbreaking for the kids if it turned out to be otherwise.
I dislike the Kardashians as much as the next people (and really, the only use I have for them is to read the hilarious recaps of their show on Grantland), but at the heart of this story is a child. A child who will one day grow up and google this mess. So I hope that Scott is his bio father, it’s proved conclusively, and this gets put to rest.
I’m all about the stories that expose the adult members of that family to be the vapid, narcissistic fame whores that they are, but the kids are totally innocent.
I agree with this. I’m not liking the mess that they’ve already put these kids through. Kids have been known to change the world of their parents upon birth for the better but if you’re already shit inside and out then there is no hope. I honestly feel bad for the spawns of the adult Kartrashians.
I agree w/those who say the testing needs to be done by a court appointed (specifically for this case guaranteed impartial) lab, w/ALL parties (& their legal representatives) present. It’s the only completely common sense route to bringing this case to an end.
As many of you know, I’m a total cynic. Those who said the lab Kourtney used to have her now published test done is infallible, & claim there’s no way the results she showed were ‘fixed’ or ‘influenced’ are being a bit naive.
Firstly, $ makes the world go round, & can get you pretty much anything, even important untrue or completely falsified documents. Or even the possibility that bribery could be used on someone at the lab that was used. If Kourtney truly knows Scott is the father, why go have the test done yourself, instead of through the court? It just makes it look like she’s trying to avoid going that route, which suggests the possibility that she knows or is afraid of the outcome of impartial court testing.
Im just always suspicious of such things. I do hope Scott is his father.
Well this family is all about ridiculous lies are they not? So the pot met the kettle and neither one of them can be believed. They simply throw stuff out and whatever sticks be it true or not they go with. What a bunch of a-hole slobs from PMK right on down to little Miss Kylie.
