From a storytelling aspect, I really love this new twist. Theyāve managed to:
Avoid actually having to appear in a court of law, which is not the place you want to be running a fake baby scam
Create the immediate need for a paternity test, because if they intended to go to court this morning to establish paternity and ask for custody, Louis has to have alreadyĀ ātaken a paternity testā
This means that TMZ is now free to drop the bomb at literally any moment, because ā OOPS! Test results were not what we were expecting!
But it also keeps Louis above the whole thing and entirely sympathetic because he never asked for a test, he never doubted Freddie was his, all he wanted was to get to spend a fair amount of time with his baby son while not getting completely taken to the cleaners by his gold-digging baby mama. Heās sweet, loving, but not a complete idiot.
Win-win-win-win-win
