Read on for the explanation of his litigation delay and what he has to say in defense of his rep.

Brooks Ayers burst onto the scene as the boyfriend of Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vicki Gunvalson’s last June. Unfortunately for him, the tabloids got a hold of his rather unsavory background info and all hell broke loose! Brooks’ shady past included arrests, not paying child support, and plenty of baby mamas! One of his child’s mothers recently spoke to 20/20 about his ‘deadbeat dad’ behavior and let’s just say, Brooks is not happy. In fact, he’s suing ABC! Keep reading for the details, including Brooks’ statement about the 20/20 interview.

As we reported earlier, Vicki Gunvalson’s boyfriend Brooks Ayers was the subject of a 20/20 report last week featuring Nicolette Catanzarite, the mother of his three-year-old son, calling him out for being a deadbeat dad. Now we have the actual video as well as a number of photos of Nicolette with and without Brooks!

Vicki Gunvalson has received plenty of backlash since engaging in a relationship with Brooks Ayers. Ayers’ dirty laundry was broadcast on the internet shortly after they began dating and fans were shocked at what they saw. Ayers is a dead beat dad who owes child support to the mother of his children. He was even thrown behind bars for his lack of payment. After all the negative things she said about Slade, how could she date someone like that?
