Reality television may pay well, but Khadijah Haqq says being one of “The Girls” comes with grown-woman bills. She also says the check is no substitute for a husband supporting his children.
The actress and television personality is asking a Los Angeles court to order her estranged husband, former NFL player Bobby McCray, to pay child and spousal support. The request comes three years after their July 2023 separation. McCray filed for divorce in August 2024.
“The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project” premiered on Hulu on Aug. 21. All six episodes were released at once.
Haqq filed her support request three days later, on Monday, Aug. 24, according to US Magazine.
In court documents, Haqq opened her financial books. The 43-year-old revealed that she earned $25,000 per episode for all six episodes.
Haqq earned $150,000 from the season. That total does not reflect taxes, representation fees or the expensive maintenance required to remain camera-ready.
She also reported earning $7,500 for social media consulting connected to “Below Deck.” She made another $25,000 from two Raising Cane’s appearances in 2025. However, Haqq said she paid for her hair, makeup, photography and videography.
In celebrity mathematics, the check may look fabulous. Then glam, production costs and Uncle Sam enter the group chat.
Her argument is simple. Entertainment income is sporadic. Housing, groceries and three growing children remain committed to a recurring schedule.
Haqq and McCray share Christian, 15, Celine, 12, and Kapri, 5. She claims she has been primarily responsible for their care since the separation. Haqq alleges that McCray has contributed less than $3,000 toward their expenses. She also says he has paid no spousal support.
According to Haqq’s filing, McCray receives roughly $18,600 each month. That income allegedly comes from disability benefits, an NFL annuity and Social Security-related payments. She also claims his NFL 401(k) is worth more than $765,000.
McCray played seven seasons in the NFL. He has not yet responded in court to Haqq’s latest allegations.
Haqq is reportedly seeking approximately $2,033 per month in spousal support. She wants the court to calculate child support after reviewing both parties’ finances and custody arrangements. She is requesting another $100,000 for her attorney fees.
The “ATL” actress says she stepped away from steady entertainment work to become the children’s primary caregiver. She argues that this decision now limits her ability to find consistent employment.
Haqq also claims McCray is not regularly in California. She says he does not maintain a dependable schedule with the children.
Financial pressure has reportedly forced her to rely on credit cards and personal loans. Haqq said her twin sister, Malika Haqq, deposited approximately $8,000 into her bank account in 2025. The money helped cover living expenses. Friends have also reportedly loaned her money.
The dispute is not only about paying current bills. Haqq wants the court to consider the marital lifestyle that she and the children once enjoyed.
She described frequent restaurant meals and food deliveries. The family also took annual vacations. The children attended private school and participated in costly extracurricular activities. Haqq says she can no longer maintain that lifestyle without McCray’s assistance.
Her filing does not guarantee that she will receive every dollar requested.
Haqq married McCray in 2010 after several years together. She announced their separation in August 2023. At the time, she described the breakup as a difficult transition. McCray filed for divorce the following year and cited irreconcilable differences.
Haqq has built a recognizable career through “Sky High,” “ATL” and “Dash Dolls.” She has also appeared throughout the Kardashian television universe. Still, fame does not always produce dependable cash flow.
Now, she wants the court to look beyond the fresh Hulu series and examine the full balance sheet.
In Haqq’s telling, $150,000 sounds glamorous. Raising three children mostly alone is the production that never wraps.
