They’re 99.8% Sure He Was a Father
Around the time he filmed the Wild Thing video, Kinison’s behavior grew increasingly erratic. During this time, he allegedly fathered a daughter with the wife of his ex-best friend, comedian Carl LaBove, who was also his opening act.
In 2011, The Toronto Sun published a story about Kinison having fathered a child with Christy LaBove. Carl had been paying child support for the girl for 13 years. LaBove went to court, claiming the girl was Kinison’s. Yes, paternity tests were conducted and showed a 99.8% likelihood that Kinison was indeed the father of the unnamed woman.
