By the time P.J. Washington decided to settle into family life with Alisah Chanel in 2023, the couple was already sharing their first son, Preston Julian. The couple welcomed their second child, Paxton Jayce, in February 2025. The NBA star is also a father to another son, Paul Jermaine Washington III, with Brittany Renner born in 2021.
As per HotNewHipHop, a custody exchange between P.J. Washington and Brittany Renner recently escalated into a tense standoff. A recording of the incident, posted across social media platforms, captured the raw emotions on display. Their split in 2021 had already drawn public attention, and this viral episode only reignited the conversation about the difficulties of navigating parenthood in the spotlight.
Custody exchange between PJ Washington and Brittany Renner turned heated as the video went viral:

A custody exchange at Brittany Renner’s home between her and Dallas Mavericks player P.J. Washington turned contentious and quickly drew widespread attention online. Washington had come to collect their son, Paul Jermaine Washington III, when the child began to cry as soon as he was handed over. The scene triggered an argument between the exes and was recorded on video.
Renner said the breakdown reflected a recurring issue. She explained that it was the third time in a row their son had become upset during pickups. As the child cried, Renner turned to P.J. Washington with frustration. She shared,
“Pause. This is what we not gonna do, so, every time that he does this I’m gonna record it because that’s not okay. This is the third time he’s done it. He doesn’t wanna go with you so actually show up and do something with him ‘cause he does this every time.”
The clip reignited long-running debates about the couple's co-parenting struggles. While earlier conversations largely centered on child support arrangements, this video shifted attention to Washington’s relationship with his son and Renner’s belief that his involvement had not been sufficient.
Video captured Brittany Renner’s mother confronting P.J. Washington during custody handoff:
The situation escalated when P.J. Washington, visibly frustrated, made an inappropriate remark that was overheard by those present. His comment further inflamed the already tense exchange, drawing immediate pushback from Brittany Renner’s family members.
The most dramatic moment unfolded when Renner’s mother confronted the NBA player directly. According to HotNewHipHop, the recording, which appeared to have been filmed by her, captured the heated dialogue. After the parents exchanged sharp words, Washington muttered,
"Man, suck d*ck."
Renner’s mother immediately challenged him. When Washington repeated, “I didn’t stutter,” she demanded he say it again. After he did, she delivered her own retort:
"If you had one maybe I would, p*ssy a*s b*tch."
The conflict continued, with Renner’s mother accusing Washington of mismanaging his financial priorities. She alleged that he had given $170,000 to his wife while putting only $11,000 into his son’s account. At that point, Alisah Chanel interjected, shouting, “Shut the f*ck up!” before lunging toward the camera. The video ended as Renner’s mother demanded she exit the vehicle to fight, as per a report by Complex.
