Draya Claps Back At Laura Govan

Well, chile! Draya Michele had some things to say to Laura for bringing her up. On Wednesday, October 30, Draya popped off on her Instagram Stories, questioning why people keep mentioning her when she isnā€™t bothering anyone. ā€œI donā€™t bother nobody. Why does nobody bother me?ā€ Draya wrote.

Draya Michele continued to explain in her IG Stories that sheā€™s fed up with being ā€œcyberbullied.ā€

ā€œFirst, Iā€™m not the type of person to clear s**t up, but enough is enough. Iā€™ve been cyber bullied for almost 12 months straight by both men and women. And have stayed quiet. I donā€™t care about likes, comments, or going viral. But if Iā€™m going to trend, Iā€™m going to trend today and all f****g day,ā€ Draya wrote.

Michele also clarified her timeline with Gilbert Arenas and called out Laura Govan, insisting that Lauraā€™s accusations donā€™t add up. ā€œTimelines arenā€™t time lining. And Iā€™m sorry to people that canā€™t understand that,ā€ Draya stated.

Draya clarified that she never messed with anyoneā€™s husband, despite Laura accusing her of hooking up with Gilbert Arenas. Draya emphasized that no one was married back then and stated that she interacted with Gilbert Arenas ā€œyearsā€ before joining ā€˜Basketball Wives LA.ā€™ The television star also said she didnā€™t know Laura or her sister before the show, insisting that Laura calling her a ā€œfriendā€ during the interview was a stretch. Additionally, she pointed out that she joined the show as a friend to Gloria, Laura Govanā€™s sister, but she still had no idea who Laura was.

While addressing Lauraā€™s comments, Draya made it clear that she never goes online to bash anyone, but sheā€™ll always share her side of the story.

ā€œI certainly donā€™t blame the woman in any situation where I am owed some of respect from my man. I donā€™t get on the internet and tell my side of the story often because I respect the fact that itā€™s only my side. I give a lot of people grace by being quiet and not sharing,ā€ Draya continued.

Draya Michele also implied that if she had any ā€œdirty laundry,ā€ the reality TV show wouldā€™ve aired it since her storyline ā€œcarriedā€ the show.

ā€œI hope you read this in a tone that is of a strong woman once again coming to the internet, defending herself. And not a victim. Iā€™m never a victim. I am a victor. Now, if you will excuse me. I will get back to my very normal non-reality TV related multifaceted life. Thank you.ā€

She also urged everyone to get out and vote, specifically for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Hereā€™s What Laura Govan Said About Draya

Laura Govan spilled the tea while chattinā€™ with Carlos King on his podcast. She confirmed that she and Gilbert never married but share four kids after 12 years spent together. Govan told Carlos she knew Draya and Gilbert hooked up but didnā€™t realize Draya was his ā€œjumpoffā€ on ā€˜Basketball Wives LA.ā€™

Eventually, she discovered that Gilbert allegedly gave Draya $25,000 and brought her to Los Angeles. Govan then recalled how she confronted Draya while she was filming for the show after discovering papers from Gilbert, which led to an altercation between them. She also revealed that the incident did not air on ā€˜Basketball Wives LAā€™ because they allegedly didnā€™t want it to air.

ā€œI remember I was not suppose to be filming and I walked passed everybody and I beat the f*** out of her. And it did not air. They did not want that air. I beat the f*** out of Draya. I think I picked her up by her p**** and her collar bone and threw her. And then I spit on her,ā€ Laura said.

Laura explained that she felt betrayed because they were friends, and Draya used to help her with her social media. She then expressed that she believed she had to confront her because Draya knew about her involvement with Gilbert but still pursued him.
