William Shatner is being sued for $170 million by a man claiming to be his son
According to court documents published by Page Six, Peter Sloan, a Tampa radio host, says his birth mother, the late Canadian actress Kathy McNeil, had a brief fling with Shatner while they were working together in Toronto.
Sloan was put up for adoption five days after he was born.
The lawsuit claims that Sloan met Shatner on the set of "T.J. Hooker" in 1984, and at the time, Shatner allegedly admitted to being Sloan's father.
The lawsuit further claims that Sloan tried to contact Shatner by phone after returning to his home in New Jersey, but Shatner hung up. Sloan claims he was contacted by someone on behalf of Shatner days later who said that Shatner was "totally denying paternity at this point" and would not take a DNA test.
