Nick Cannon has taken a rather unconventional road to fathering a big family, and as a result, it sounds like the way things work financially is a bit unconventional, too. On the new season of Selling Sunset, Bre Tiesi opened up about Nick's child support situation, and so far, her comments are proving to be pretty controversial.

Bre is the newest cast member on the reality show.
In the Season 6 premiere of Selling Sunset, which debuted on Netflix on Friday, Bre made her debut at the Oppenheim Group. As People reported, she started filming just weeks after giving birth to her first child with Nick, Legendary Love.
Given that she is a new mom, of course, talk in the office turned to Nick and their unique situation.
The conversation turned to child support.
Fellow real estate agent Amanza Smith told Bre that she'd heard that after someone has 10 kids, they are no longer legally required to pay child support, which Bre said is technically true.
"The way it works is like, after 10, the court can basically say he can't afford to pay child support. Or because he is who he is, they could say, 'We know you can afford X amount for each household," she said via People.
She also called their relationship situation 'interesting.'
"I don't know if I would say I'm single, I've been in — I don't want to call it open, but open relationship," she said.
It's clear that her coworkers are a bit wary of the whole situation, though, because in another episode, Chelsea Lazkani called Nick a "master manipulator," which led to a blowout between Bre and the other agents as she defended her man.
"You don't need to agree with my situation. This is my situation," Bre said. "I'm not going to have people in this office talk about my family. I'm not."

Nick has talked about his child support situation before.
In March, Nick said on an interview that he doesn't have any formal child support agreements with the six mothers of his children — instead, he simply insists that he provides whatever they need.
"There's never been something that one of the mothers of my children has asked for and they didn't receive," he said.
The situation seems to be working so far.
It's certainly controversial — and it may not work as well forever, once the kids start getting older — but it's hard to judge a situation this unusual from the outside looking in.
As long as Bre and baby Legendary are taken care of, the rest doesn't matter.
