"If you're telling the truth, show up to court!" That's the message that the mother of Beyonce's secret half-brother wants to send Mathew Knowles, sources tell Breaking Celebrity News, after he was a no-show at pre-trial proceedings for their ongoing child support trial last week. According to insiders, Knowles was slapped with sanctions and risked facing the contempt of court in order to avoid facing off with his ex, AlexSandra Wright, regarding his questionable child support history.

As Breaking Celebrity News has reported, Knowles has been accused of being up to three months late in payments for his son with Wright, Nixon. Knowles has denied that he is in arrears, claiming on Dec. 4 that he was never late on payments. But when court records revealed that he was, Knowles changed his story, insisting that it was a paperwork mix-up. Knowles did not respond to Breaking Celebrity News's request for comment.
