Draya Michele Says Gilbert Arenas Isn't Her Son Kniko's Father
Looks like Draya Michele is fed up with everyone thinking that Laura Govan's estranged fiance and baby daddy, Gilbert Arenas, is the father of her son, Kniko. The former Basketball Wives star finally revealed that the controversial NBA star isn't the father of her son.
According to The Shade Room, Michele took to Instagram and posted a photo of her herself after she had her son, who is now a teenager. The reality star who is expecting another son by Dallas Cowboys star, Orlando Scandrick wrote, "Here is Draya ..... At 17 years old I got pregnant by a man who became incarcerated for 10 when I was 7 months pregnant. With help from my mom, I was able to survive. Now, judging by how under-developed and young I was, besides living in a very small city in PA..... There's no way in 2002 I got pregnant by some athlete," she stated.
"If I had, there's not a chance in f*cking hell I would have wasted 7 years of my life working 'in the club' because clearly child support would be on fleek. I have never received A DIME of child support in my life and that's ok. I have also NEVER attempted to say anyone other than who my son is named after (yes he's a junior) was the father. My son's father lives in pa and makes an honest living being a barber," Michele revealed. The Mint Swim designer further added that, "This sh*t is completely embarrassing to me and my family. And I intend on putting this to final rest. I'm pissed that I had to take time from remodeling my office in my brand new 4000 square foot warehouse to even address this. But I've been quiet too long. I've also let people tell 'my story' on tv too many times. I'll speak my truths..... You speak your own and keep whatever momentum going by doing that. God bless. Leave the kids out of it for heaven's sake."
She addressed this situation because Govan and Michele had some drama during their Basketball Wives days, which has now been leaked out on TV One's new show, The Next 15.
Govan and Arenas have been hot in media headlines over their toxic relationship and custody drama. In the clip below, Govan and her castmate Jennifer Williams talk about Arenas' drama and mention the crazy emails that Govan allegedly sent about her ex, which had Michele in one of the topics.
Michele obviously watched the interview because she commented on the post. She wanted the ladies to keep her family business out of their mouths and made it clear that Arenas wasn't her son's father.
In true realty TV fashion, fans around the world believed rumors and thought Arenas was the father of Michele's son, in spite of the involved parties denying the rumors. Last year Arenas said, "Draya's son was at least four years old when I met her and we were [cool] friends."
MStars News wants to know, did you believe Arenas was the father of Michele's son before all of this news was released?
