The US Weekly on Monday reported that Edwards filed fresh court documents alleging that the social media influencer asked him for $500,000 and a public apology before signing papers that would give her sole custody of their daughter.

The Timberwolves star alleged that Howard wanted this apology as a way to "affirm her integrity" as a mother to their daughter. He said that until her demands were fulfilled, she was unwilling to sign the full custody papers.

The social media influencer allegedly clarified that she was seeking the amount as compensation for the financial and reputational loss she had to bear due to the prolonged legal battle with the Timberwolves star.

As per the terms of their custody agreement, Howard was not allowed to post any pictures of her daughter, nor was she allowed to talk poorly of the Timberwolves star.

In a motion filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, Edwards' legal representatives said that they had removed the stipulations that Howard had issues with, but accused the social media influencer of adding her own demands.

Howard allegedly made the claim during a court hearing on May 19 after Edwards' legal team requested that the custody decision be handled in Georgia.

"Anthony does not want anything to do with my child," she allegedly said. "He has expressed that. He has shown that. I haven’t seen him. [Aubri] hasn’t seen him... never. So, I mean, whether custody was honestly here or on Mars, I don’t think it would inconvenience him or matter at all."
