Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govan

NBA basketball player, Gilbert Arenas, his former fiancée, "Basketball Wives L.A." reality star, Laura Govan, who is the mother of his children, have experienced trouble in their relationship many times. It created a significant amount of negative publicity in a relationship that has soured.

Govan, who is a gold digger, once cleaned out Arenas' mansion, taking everything in sight, including his basketball trophies, making away with $1,000,000 in merchandise in a moving truck. Arenas came home to find an empty mansion. Govan also cheated on Arenas with basketball legend and former fellow all-star, Shaquille O'Neal. The text messages between the two were hacked and published, upsetting Arenas.

TMZ Sports is reporting Govan has sued Arenas for forcibly taking back the $1,000,000 engagement ring he gave her and throwing her and their children out on the street with nothing. Govan contends Arenas made $200,000,000 during his NBA career and can afford to support his family.

Why Are The "Basketball Wives" Not Really Wives

Stars of the reality show "Basketball Wives"

"Basketball Wives" which may as well be Basketball Witches, with the way some of them fight each other, are not really wives. All of them are pretty, but the majority of them are not wives. The star of the show, Shaunie O'Neal, is divorced from NBA star, Shaquille O'Neal.

Jennifer Williams, is in the middle of a divorce, from retired basketball player, Eric Williams. Royce Reed is single after breaking up with basketball player, Dwight Howard. Gloria Govan and Laura Govan are both single women, who have children for basketball players.

Evelyn Lozada, with former fiancé, Antoine Walker. She is now engaged to football player Chad Ochocinco.

Last but not least, Evelyn Lozada, dated basketball player, Antoine Walker, for 11 years and was his finance, but the relationship ended on a sour note. One wonders why he didn't marry Lozada after all that time? Was he scared. Literally! Could it be her mean streak that is present on the show. She's beautiful, but grumpy like one of Snow White's dwarfs.

Shaquille O'Neal and ex-wife Shaunie O'Neal

Shaunie O'Neal, the ex-wife of basketball superstar, Shaquille O'Neal, is really stirring the doo doo in the NBA. O'Neal, who got into legal trouble, when her ex-husband, became infuriated at her using the details of their marriage and divorce in the reality show "Basketball Wives" has signed a major momma for the next season of her program.

Chris Bosh and Allison Mathis

Enter Allison Mathis - the ex-girlfriend and the mother of Chris Bosh's child. Yes, that Chris Bosh, of the Miami Heat, who is now engaged to Adrienne Williams. Who knows what Mathis is going to say and if Bosh will need to seek a lawyer as a preemptive move (see Shaquille and Dwight Howard). What O'Neal has done in the past is to lure disgruntled women on the show and get them to spill all, you know, like Oprah.

However, it has gotten quite messy with current and past alumni. I'll cite a few examples. Rashidah Ali, who made an appearance on the show, was arrested and has been sued for a gory assault on bouncer, Joseph Wright. He tried to eject Ali and two friends from a club and she cut his face open.

Former MTV "Real World" cast member, Tammy Roman, joined "Basketball Wives" and fell into some trouble. Roman, who famously married, then was divorced from Kenny Anderson, who left her with nothing, in spite of the fact she has two children for him, became inebriated on the show and tried to fight the black Paris Hilton, Jennifer Williams, wife of basketball player, Eric Williams.

Gloria Govan

In another incident, Gloria Govan, fiancee of basketball player, Matt Barnes, was the subject of domestic violence, when the couple had a dispute about an undisclosed matter. Barnes was arrested.

Laura Govan and Kids

Govan's sister, Laura, who also appeared on the show and reportedly had an affair with Shaquille O'Neal, while he was married, had a very messy break-up with boyfriend, basketball player, Gilbert Arenas. Govan illegally cleaned out his mansion of $4,000,000 worth of goods.

Marlon Yates and Shaunie O'Neal

Shaunie isn't scandal free either when it comes to this show. Her current boyfriend, Marlon Yates, 23, has been paying special attention to castmate, Royce Reed, who is the mother of basketballer Dwight Howard's son. Howard filed a restraining order against Reed and barred her from including their son in "Basketball Wives."

Royce Reed

Yates, allegedly bought dancer Reed expensive shoes, when he is supposed to be dating her boss, which has placed her in the line of fire, as in getting fired by O'Neal. No official word has been released, but some sites are stating O'Neal wants her off the show.

Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozada

With all the money and fame the aforementioned folks have, it is remarkable and tragic that none of them seem happy. "Basketball Wives" is often catty, cruel, caustic and violent. It's not the best portray of black people and people of color on television.

Basketball Wives

There is even an episode where Reed throws a benefit for cancer research, only for Williams and Lozada, to lie and mockingly make excuses not to attend. There is nothing funny or amusing about cancer. I think the show hit an all time low, in broadcasting such superficial and socially ignorant conduct.

Gilbert Arenas Child Support Battle Gets Ugly

Gilbert Arenas: she took all my stuff! All of it!

The child support battle between NBA basketball player, Gilbert Arenas and the mother of his children, Laura Govan, just got ugly. I mean "Shanaynay" kind of ugly. Govan, who is pregnant with his fourth child, cleaned out Arenas' mansion, during an away game.

Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govan

She made off with $4,000,000 of his possessions and two vehicles, a Mercedes and Range Rover. Govan claims she did not have money to buy milk and pampers for her kids, but Arenas, who makes $1.5 million dollars per month, maintains he takes care of his children.

Arenas stated, he gives Govan $20,000 per month in child support, but she is angry he has broken up with her, pursuing a relationship with someone else. This may be due to rumors of Govan cheating on Arenas last year, with another basketball player, mentioned further in this article (keeping reading, because you can't make this stuff up).

Gilbert Arenas' home

Govan should have taken the matter to the courts, rather than taking things into her own hands and illegally taking him to the cleaners, via stealing Gilbert's possessions. Her actions in this regard were not correct.

Arenas also accused Govan of and killing his pet sharks. Yes, really. It is alleged Govan placed pennies in Arenas' shark tank, which costs him $5,000 per month to maintain, in acts said to be deadly to the water loving creatures, due to the copper. Didn't I tell you this thing got ugly.

Gloria Govan and sister Laura Govan

Govan has been featured on the VH-1 reality show "Basketball Wives," as a woman that engaged in an adulterous affair with NBA player, Shaquille O'Neal, for which then wife, Shaunie O'Neal, wanted to rip her a new one.

Last year, the YBF website released a copy of explicit text messages purportedly between the two, illustrating infidelity, just in time for the O'Neal's divorce, where Shaunie was accused of cheating on the NBA star with her trainer in Miami.

Shaq's Wife Violated Confidentiality Agreement On "Basketball Wives"

Shaunie and Shaquille O'Neal

VH-1's new reality show, "Basketball Wives" starring, Shaunie O'Neal, the soon to be ex-wife of, Shaquille O'Neal, is in hot water of a legal variety.

It seems Shaunie signed a very binding confidentiality agreement with estranged husband, Shaq, which prohibits her from discussing their relationship publicly, particularly in a book or on a television program, which is exactly what she has done.

The scandalous "Basketball Wives" has thus far discussed Shaq's adulterous affair with, Laura Govan, the fiancée of fellow NBA basketball player, Gilbert Arenas, while kindly leaving out Shaunie's infidelity. Shaunie reportedly had two boyfriends during the course of their marriage and previously left her deacon husband to marry Shaq.

Shaunie O'Neal on "Basketball Wives"

Shaq had his lawyers send over a legal warning to VH-1 days before the show aired, but they went ahead with the debut without removing references to Shaq that aren't particularly flattering. Shaq is now threatening suit.

The show has a history of legal problems. The program clearly had to change its name from "NBA Wives" to "Basketball Wives" for legal reasons, as it would violate the league's trademark rights.

"Basketball Wives"

One of the show's stars, Royce Reed, was slapped with a gag order from, Dwight Howard, instructing her not to divulge the contents of their past relationship or mention his name or that of their son.

Gilbert Arenas Demands Paternity Test Stating Shaq's Involvement With Fiancée

Shaquille O'Neal and wife Shaunie

And people thought the show "NBA Wives" was going to be the shocker. NBA basketball player, Gilbert Arenas, is seeking paternity tests, regarding his two children and the third one on the way, as he alleges his fiancée, Laura Govan, who is also the children's mother, was secretly dating fellow athlete, Shaquille O'Neal.

Gilbert Arenas

This must be what that song about "Aww sookie sookie now!" meant. I've never had any use for that song, hearing it in commercials for CD compilations advertised on B.E.T., but when I read a summary of this story, I had a brain freeze and that's what came to mind.

Laura Govan

Then, I read a little more and found out, someone leaked sexually explicit emails, allegedly between Shaq and Govan, who were discussing meeting up at a hotel. Why do people feel it necessary to leak others emails. That is an invasion of privacy.

Rumors continue to swirl that Shaquille O'Neal and Laura Govan, the fiance of Wizards star Gilbert Arenas.

Published: Dec 9, 2009 -Young, Black and Fabulous reports that they have run across emails regarding a secret sexual relationship between Shaq and Govan. And Laura is actually friends with Shaunie. Nice!

One of the emails, allegedly from Govan, said she would meet with Shaq "as long as u taste me and make me cum LOL."

This report followed a previous one at BlitzCorner.com that detailed the trials of Arenas and Govan's relationship, complete with subpoenas and child custody fights.
