As one of basketball’s brightest stars, Dwight Howard made an indelible mark in the NBA as soon as he stepped onto the court. His sensational rookie season was the stuff of legends, showcasing his unmatched athleticism, shot-blocking prowess, and undeniable talent. Quickly garnering comparisons to the greats of the game, Howard’s skyrocketing rise promised a bright future.
However, Howard’s journey wasn’t always without complications. In the midst of his stardom, an unexpected twist emerged when he found himself embroiled in a legal battle with Royce Reed, which equally grabbed headlines as his on-court fame.
Dwight Howard once filed lawsuit against Royce Reed
Ex-NBA star Dwight Howard finds himself back in the spotlight as details surrounding his lawsuit against ex-girlfriend Royce Reed come to light. Reed, a former Orlando Magic cheerleader and mother to Howard’s son Braylon, recently spoke out about her troubled past with the three-time Defensive Player of the Year.
In a revealing interview with DJ Vlad, Reed disclosed instances of threats and abusive behavior during her relationship with Howard. It was disclosed that Howard had previously enforced a gag order on Reed, preventing her from discussing their relationship freely. However, with the order now lifted, Reed has opted to shed light on new information about Howard.
“The gag order is actually an agreement that I signed willingly and I didn’t realize that’s what it was. I was told that it’s basically saying that I won’t talk trash about him” she said.
Reed explained that she initially signed the gag order before the filming of the reality show “Basketball Wives” began, thinking it was merely an agreement not to speak negatively about Howard on the show. It was when she confirmed Howard as Braylon’s father during an interview with Wendy Williams that the legal document was triggered and she was served with a lawsuit.
The impact of Reed’s testimonies on Howard’s public image remains uncertain, but the revelations she has brought forward will undoubtedly pique the interest of fans and critics alike. As the details continue to unfold, only time will tell how this controversy will ultimately affect their reputations.
Royce Reed reveals Dwight Howard threatened her with knife
Royce Reed, former reality TV star and ex-girlfriend of NBA player Dwight Howard, has also come forward with shocking allegations against the athlete in a candid interview, as Reed revealed that Howard had threatened her with a knife during their tumultuous relationship.
“He could get away with it because he’s baby Jesus,” Reed stated, referring to Howard’s perceived reputation and the support he received from the Orlando community. When questioned about any previous physical altercations, she admitted, “He’s never hauled off and just punched the crap out of me, but I’ve endured being dragged, thrown, and cursed out. My life has been threatened, and he even pulled a knife on me.”
These revelations are likely to complicate matters for Dwight Howard, who is already grappling with a sexual assault lawsuit with a gay man who has accused the basketball player of both physically and sexually assaulting him, further tarnishing his troubled personal life.
It remains to be seen how these revelations will impact Dwight Howard’s ongoing legal troubles. However, the disturbing pattern of allegations against him raises serious concerns about his conduct and prompts a closer examination of the truth behind the scandals he finds himself entangled in. While the case is still open and under investigation, it seems Howard may be under the nose of the media for a long time.
