A decade after the death of America’s favorite late night kingpin, Johnny Carson’s granddaughter is still struggling to get by in life.
Johnny left behind a $450 million estate when he died Jan. 23, 2005, from emphysema – but none of it landed in the hands of Christal, now 28. “We never disputed the situation,” Christal’s mom, Tanena Love, 63, exclusively told The National ENQUIRER.
Her lawyer claimed in a child support dispute that Christal was the product of a secret 10-year relationship Tanena had with Johnny’s son Christopher, who lived of his dad’s monthly stipend in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., while trying to become a pro golfer.
Johnny got wind of the interracial romance when Tanena was six months pregnant.
Livid, he ordered his son to end it or lose his cash flow. Christopher promptly abandoned his lover and their unborn child.
