Mother: Urlacher paints son's toes
Football tough guy Brian Urlacher dresses his son in pink Cinderella diapers and paints the 3-year-old's toenails blue, the child's mother charged in Will County court Tuesday.
The mother, Tyna Robertson, threatened to block Urlacher from seeing the boy if the beefy linebacker kept up the alleged effeminate antics.
Robertson was in court on an emergency motion brought by Urlacher's attorney, Anita Ventrelli. While Robertson was there, her own lawyer, Alice Wilson, petitioned to have the case moved to Cook County.
Wilson had argued that since Urlacher lives in Lake County and Robertson recently moved from Bolingbrook to Burr Ridge, there is no point in keeping the case in Will County. Robertson also figures she could get a better shake in Cook, and took a shot at the judge handling her case in Will County.
"I hope she's not getting free Bears tickets," Robertson said.
The case, for now, is staying in Will County.
Urlacher's motion was to stop Robertson from keeping Kennedy away from him. Robertson said she would allow the visitation, so long as Urlacher put away the Bears-blue nail polish and diapered their son in gender appropriate pull-ups.
"(Kennedy) pulls down his pants and says, 'Mommy, look how pretty they are,'" she said of the diapers.
Robertson also recalled Kennedy informing her, "Big boys paint their nails," and said he refused to take a bath for two days to keep the blue polish on his nails from coming off.
"He'd say, 'Mommy, I don't want to get my nails wet. I don't want to mess them up,'" she said. "It took two hours to get him in the bath."
And Kennedy was not the only Urlacher who wouldn't listen to her, Robertson said, telling how her pleas to Brian to get him to cease the toenail painting and inappropriate diapering went unheeded.
"He says he can do whatever he wants," Robertson said. "(Urlacher said), 'It doesn't make him feminine. It doesn't make him gay.'
"You're confusing him, if he's a boy or a girl," she said.
She would say no more.
Robertson's lawyer Wilson backed up Robertson's allegations that Kennedy was being dressed in Cinderella diapers and getting his toenails painted, but stopped short of accusing Urlacher.
But Robertson showed no such reluctance.
"It's Brian and Brian's girlfriend," she said. "It's happened on five consecutive visits."
