Chad Johnson filed paperwork with a court to ask a judge to lower his child support payments for one of his children, TMZ reports.

Johnson’s payments to Andrea Pearson, one of the mothers of his children, reportedly are $5,420 per month. Johnson agreed to that amount in March 2012 when he said in filings he was making $66,000 per month. Johnson was not with an NFL team at the time, but he had plenty of endorsement deals, a TV show on VH1, and he was later brought to training camp by the Miami Dolphins.

Johnson’s NFL prospects ended after the Dolphins released him following his altercation with ex-wife Evelyn Lozada. He also lost endorsement deals and their TV show as a result of the arrest.

Naturally, Johnson says he can’t afford the support payments.

TMZ reported last November that Pearson accused Johnson of being late and missing payments. The two have a son together who was born in 2010.

Let this be a lesson to athletes everywhere who think that making millions entitles you to plant your seed anywhere you please. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up owing thousands per month in child support payments.

A judge has issued a warrant for Chad Johnson’s arrest because the former NFL wide receiver violated the terms of his probation, TMZ reports.

According to TMZ, the Broward County District Attorney’s Office says Johnson failed to report to his probation officer.

NFL.com reports the Broward Sheriff’s Office says Johnson failed to meet with probation specialists on Feb. 15 and March 15. He also reportedly failed to show proof of enrollment and completion of the “Batterers Intervention Program.”

Johnson is on probation for his domestic violence incident with ex-wife Evelyn Lozada.

The warrant reportedly was issued on May 7.

Johnson tweeted on Thursday to say he was in Pasadena. He and former teammate Terrell Owens were also working out at Santa Monica College this week. Johnson played JC ball at SMC before transferring to Oregon State.

Are Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada getting back together? Let the rumors begin now that the two were together for a dinner party on Sunday night.

Johnson held one of his semi-regular dinners and offered a free meal to the first 100 Twitter followers who showed up to a Miami restaurant. Those who took him up on the offer were treated with a surprise.

Johnson and his ex-wife, Lozada, stepped out in public together holding hands, and they took pictures with the fans who showed up. Jocks and Stiletto Jill says the appearance comes as no surprise since the two have been rumored to be living together again.

Johnson and Lozada got engaged in November, 2010 after dating for four months. They had a highly-publicized wedding on July 4 this year, but Lozada filed for divorce a month later following an alleged domestic violence incident between them. Johnson was initially reluctant to sign divorce papers and vowed to get Lozada back. It looks like his persistence may have paid off.

Here they are together holding hands:

Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? If not, at least you know a great gift was given to the Internet this week.

A sex tape featuring Chad Johnson and two women has made its way to the web. The video features a few still shots of Chad in sexual positions with a tattooed woman. The preview video is NSFW and available for viewing here.

Johnson confirmed to TMZ that the video is real and that it was shot in a Florida hotel room around three years ago. He reportedly is trying to see what he can do to get the video removed from the web.

It was probably just a matter of time before a Chad Johnson sex tape was released. He has published sex escapade stories on his Twitter account in the past, talked about marketing his own brand of condoms, and he has even injured himself having sex. Chad even said he was considering a secondary career in porn if football didn’t work out.

He should just let the tape roll out — it’s the most publicity he’s had in months.

Chad Johnson says he is taking anger management classes in response to the domestic violence incident that led to his divorce from ex-wife Evelyn Lozada.

Johnson told Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” that he is taking the classes to better manage his feelings so he doesn’t explode in the future.

“I’m taking classes — anger management classes — and I’m trying to find out how can I channel my anger when I’m in situations to where I would pop off. How can I diffuse those situations?” he said on the show.

Johnson also thinks the incident with his ex-wife is the reason he was released by the Miami Dolphins, not his play on the field.

“That was the reason. There’s no need to blow smoke up my a–. That’s the reason.”

Johnson told the show’s hosts that he takes full responsibility for the incident.

“I got to work on Chad. Chad has to work on Chad. Chad has to go deep down inside and figure out where he went wrong.

“At what point did he lose focus on what’s most important — especially the game of football.”

It does seem like Johnson has been humbled by his personal and professional downfall, so that could be good for him if he begins working on himself. But I will disagree with him about the reason he was cut — the incident is the primary reason, but it’s not like his football ability is stellar these days.

Also, if he is beginning to work on himself, may we make one suggestion? Stop talking in the third person. That shows you still have an enormous ego, Chad.

I really have no idea what’s going on with Chad Johnson right now, but all indications are that he’s not ready to give up on his marriage to Evelyn Lozada.

Lozada filed for divorce three days after Chad was arrested for allegedly head-butting her in the forehead, but according to a report from TMZ, Johnson is unwilling to grant it to her.

TMZ says Johnson won’t sign divorce papers or work on a divorce settlement because he doesn’t want one. But that may not matter.

According to Florida law, a judge may be able to grant a divorce regardless of Chad’s wishes.

Chad has been talking on Twitter like their marriage isn’t over, and he even supposedly got a tattoo of Lozada on his leg after their violence incident to show his commitment to her.

If Chad were so committed and dedicated to Lozada, then why was he supposedly cheating on her with multiple women? Much like his playing career, Johnson fails to recognize when something in his life is over.

Anyone who knows Chad Johnson knows that he is a huge video game guy. In fact, his former wife probably should have known their marriage wasn’t going to last from the moment Chad proposed to her while playing Call of Duty. Most video game guys who like sports play Madden, so obviously Chad is no exception. For the past 11 years, Johnson has had the pleasure of being able to play as himself while playing the game. Now, he no longer has that luxury.

With Madden ’13 having been released on Tuesday, Johnson was recently faced with a cold hard truth while gaming.

That awkward moment when you realize you’re not on Madden13 and have to create yourself…

Between getting cut by the Dolphins, losing sponsors, going through a divorce and having his VH1 show cancelled, Johnson likely has a lot more on his mind than not being in a video game. He probably should have thought about that before allegedly head-butting his wife, but that’s neither here nor there. To his credit, Chad also told his followers not to feel bad for him a couple hours after tweeting about Madden.
