New details about Kel Mitchell's relationship with his children have emerged. In 2012 court documents obtained by The Shaderoom, it was unveiled that the stand-up comedian tried to get visitation rights with his kids after years of not seeing them.
In the docs, it was stated that the actor attended reunification therapy with his kids and ex-wife in 2012 after not seeing them in six years. They were scheduled to attend a court hearing in November 2012, but his former spouse Tyisha Hampton didn't show up.
"To not see them in six years and to finally be able to see them, and my son was upset and he was hurt. My daughter was also as well," Kel said. "They would look straight out the window and not at me. And they said that, 'We don't want to see you. We have a father.' "
In 2013, Kel shared a video on YouTube in which he sent a message to fellow dads who were unable to be with their children due to marital/relationship issues. Noting that he had a seven-year custody battle, he added, "I know God will reunite me with my children."
The report arrived just days after Kel's daughter, Allure Mitchell, slammed him on TikTok for being a fake and absent dad. , "I guess ten years without your children could do this to you. I am done being silenced. My father is the type of man to fake as if he's in my life but he's not. He was there 'financially,' " she wrote alongside pictures of the two.
"What I mean by that is he only paid for what in my eyes looked good on paper. He helped pay for my first car, my high school tuition, and my housing on campus until I cut him off for exactly this," she added. "I now live completely independently without any parental help I did this to prove to my father that his money was never what I needed, and growing uptake way I had to it boggles me that'd even think that's what I cared about."
"But then I have to remember he doesn't even know me, how could he? He wasn't there. A father should also be there emotionally," Allure went on arguing. "A father should be there for their daughters in need. A father should provide. A father should just simply care."
