Faizon Love did not earn any money last year.
The “Elf” star shared his shockingly low income during his child support battle with Tiffany Lee, according to TMZ.
Not only did the 58-year-old reportedly reveal in court documents earlier this month that he made zero dollars in 2025, but he said his highest annual income in the last five years was $13,000.
Love, at the time, was sharing the numbers as a means of insisting he cannot afford the $250,000 he allegedly owes Wells in child support.
He also blamed his absence at an April hearing regarding the case on a medical emergency.
The judge, however, held Love in contempt of court in May and ordered him to turn himself into jail for 90 days.
Love, a Glendale, California, resident, was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday and charged with two counts of contempt of court.
He is being held without bond at the Hillsborough County Jail.
The comedian, notably, is facing a pending felony assault charge in San Diego, California, over a 2024 incident with a hotel clerk.
Love, who has pleaded not guilty to the crime, allegedly hit the staff member in the face with a credit card machine.
“Mr. Love was extremely upset. It was zero to 100 real quick,” the alleged woman said in July 2025 testimony. “He was repeatedly asking if we knew who he was.”
After the preliminary hearing, a judge deemed there was sufficient evidence to proceed to trial.
Back in 2017, Love pleaded no contest to misdemeanor after being filmed attacking a valet at an Ohio airport.
He was fined $500 and sentenced to a 180-day suspended jail sentence at the time.
In addition to “Elf,” Love is best known for roles in “Friday,” “Couples Retreat” and more.
