California power couple snarled in fresh scandal after daughter allegedly tricked TV star into thinking he got her pregnant
A Bay Area power couple has been dragged into fresh drama after their daughter allegedly tricked a reality television star into thinking she was pregnant.Legendary KGO AM radio host Ronn Owens and his wife, former journalist Elizabeth Ann Naylor, allegedly misled GoFundMe donors who believed they were sending money to cover his health issues.Instead of spending the $135,000 on Owens’ medical bills for four bouts of cancer and “some serious heart issues,” the family is accused of paying off personal expenses.Among those were their mortgage and their daughter Laura’s legal expenses for allegedly lying to “The Bachelor” star Clayton Echard about being pregnant to force him into a relationship with her.Laura was indicted in May 2025 on seven felony counts of perjury, fraud, forgery, and evidence tampering related to a pregnancy lawsuit she filed against him.She’s currently set to go to trial later this year after requesting a continuance from the scheduled trial date of July 29.California's top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.
