Today is clear up the rumors Friday and our subject is second-time mom-to-be Draya Michele who VH1‘s Basketball Wives who is finally sharing who her son’s dad is.
We and many other media outlets have incorrectly stated that her son’s father is NBA veteran Gilbert Arenas, but it is not.
Draya took to Instagram this week to clarify the falsehood:
“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,” she captioned a photo of herself at 17-years old with her son in a car seat nearby. “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. If I had, there’s not a chance in f——h— I would have wasted 7 years of my life working ‘in the club’ because clearly child support would be on fleek.”
She also made everyone aware that her son’s father does not support her at all.
“I have never received A DIME of child support in my life and that’s ok,” she explained. “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. This s— is completely embarrassing to me and my family.”
Arenas himself spoke to the rumors last year when he told his Instagram followers, “Draya’s son was at least four years old when I met her and we were [cool] friends.”
Draya Michele is expecting her second child, a son, with NFL star Orlando Scandrick.
