A new chapter in the ongoing, messy saga between Brittany Renner and Dallas Mavericks forward PJ Washington went viral this week after a heated custody exchange escalated into insults and crude remarks.
The video opens with Renner handing over their four-year-old son to Washington. When the child begins to cry, Renner says she will record “every single time” her son reacts this way during custody exchanges. She accuses Washington of not spending enough quality time with their son and urges him to “show up” more consistently, beyond just the bare minimum.
When tensions flared, Washington moved his son toward the car. But as Renner’s mother intervened, the confrontation took a shocking turn. A visibly frustrated Washington told her to “suck my —.” Her reply, caught on camera, stunned viewers: “If I had one, I would.”
The exchange quickly went viral on social media, sparking debates about parenting, respect and the dangers of airing personal conflicts in the public eye.
This latest clash is just the tip of the iceberg in a relationship that has been under intense public scrutiny since they first got together in 2019. After welcoming their son in 2021, the couple split only months later, with Washington accusing Renner of feigning affection, while Renner maintained that her feelings were sincere.
This recent clash is merely the latest episode in a relationship that has faced intense public scrutiny since they began dating in 2019. After the birth of their son in 2021, the couple separated just months later, with Washington accusing Renner of pretending to care, while Renner insisted her feelings were genuine.
Online chatter painted Washington as “trapped,” fuelled by false rumours that Renner was receiving $200,000 a month in child support. Over the years, Renner has faced criticism for the six-year age difference between them, as well as for her outspoken and candid public image.
Meanwhile, Washington has moved forward with his personal life, marrying model Alisah Chanel and welcoming another child. Although both have occasionally spoken about striving for balance as co-parents, their conflicts frequently resurface in the public eye.
The September 2025 custody incident stands as the most intense public clash to date. Online fans were divided: some sympathised with Renner, believing she was standing up for her son, while others condemned the spectacle as harmful to the child caught in the middle. Washington, currently playing for the Dallas Mavericks, has yet to make a public statement.
At its heart, this is a familiar tale of a once-promising romance devolving into a bitter co-parenting battle, intensified by cameras and social media. With both sides still trading insults years after their breakup, the hope is that the focus will eventually shift from viral drama to creating a stable environment for their son.
