Keanu Reeves paternity case dismissed

Canadian judge throws out lawsuit

Keanu Reeves has had a paternity case against him dropped.

Karen Sala claims the actor is dad to at least one of her four adult kids.

The 46-year-old demanded £100,000 a month child support, backdated to 1988, plus £1.9million a month in spousal support from 2006. 

But a Canadian judge has thrown out the case.

'The applicant's evidence is so incredible that it is not capable of acceptance by any reasonable trier of fact,' said Judge Fred Graham.

'A trial in this case would be a waste of judicial resources. It is evident [Karen] believes her allegations even if they are patently unbelievable to an objective observer.'

Keanu, 45, had already taken a paternity test, which came back negative.

He could now choose to pursue Sala for his £51,000 legal fees.
