Houston Rockets star James Harden is well known for shelling out money to women to get them to play the part of his "girlfriend", as Harden is paying a famous model to play the part.
 
According to a source, Harden is shelling out the money to model Brooke Bailey. Apparently, he's paying her bills and doesn't mind doing so. The source claims that Bailey is happy with what Harden is doing and isn't trying to slow down Harden's "sponsorship" mindframe.
 
 Last week, Bailey and Harden meet up at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, and apparently Harden was showing off his "new girlfriend" to everyone at a party.
 
 Isn't the first time Harden has shelled out money to a woman to enjoy quality time with them. Earlier in the year, Harden spent $20,000 to model Jenna Shea, as Shea was flown to Houston to catch one of Harden's home games. Later the two spent the night together.
