Draya Michele responded to Laura Govan after she claimed to have had a previous feud with the Mint Swim founder. During an interview with Carlos King, Govan claimed that Draya had an affair with her ex-man, Gilbert Arenas. Draya and Laura previously appeared together on ‘Basketball Wives LA’.
Well, chili! Draya Michele had something to say to Laura about bringing her up. On Wednesday, October 30, Draya vented on Instagram Stories, asking why people keep discussing her when she isn’t bothering anyone. “I do not bother anybody. Why is nobody bothering me?” Draya wrote.
Draya Michele continued to explain in her IG Stories that she’s fed up with being “cyberbullied.”
“First, I’m not the type of person to clear s**t up, but enough is enough. I’ve been cyber bullied for almost 12 months straight by both men and women. And have stayed quiet. I don’t care about likes, comments, or going viral. But if I’m going to trend, I’m going to trend today and all f****g day,” Draya wrote.
Michele also clarified her timeline with Gilbert Arenas and called out Laura Govan, insisting that Laura’s accusations don’t add up. “Timelines aren’t time lining. And I’m sorry to people that can’t understand that,” Draya stated.
Draya clarified that she never messed with anyone’s husband, despite Laura accusing her of hooking up with Gilbert Arenas.
Draya emphasized that no one was married then and stated that she interacted with Gilbert Arenas “years” before joining ‘Basketball Wives LA.’
The television star also said she didn’t know Laura or her sister before the show, insisting that Laura calling her a “friend” during the interview was a stretch.
Additionally, she pointed out that she joined the show as a friend to Gloria, Laura Govan’s sister, but she still had no idea who Laura was.
While addressing Laura’s comments, Draya clarified that she never goes online to bash anyone, but she’ll always share her side of the story.
“I certainly don’t blame the woman in any situation where I am owed some of respect from my man. I don’t get on the internet and tell my side of the story often because I respect the fact that it’s only my side. I give a lot of people grace by being quiet and not sharing,” Draya continued.
Draya Michele also implied that if she had any “dirty laundry,” the reality TV show would’ve aired it since her storyline “carried” the show.
“I 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. I’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.”
She also urged everyone to get out and vote, specifically for Vice President Kamala Harris.
