The Story

UPDATE: 09-30-2011: Laura Govan recently tweeted a photo of how her fiance, Gilbert Arenas, picked her up from the airport. Check the photo to the right, it's pretty obvious which one it is. Seriously Gilbert? You don't think that's insulting at all? Dressing up as a friggin' pimp to pickup the woman you intend to marry? You're essentially calling her a hooker. Though, based on how Govan reacted (posting the photo to Twitter for the world to see) she doesn't mind being called a prostitute.

09-20-2011: Laura Govan recently confirmed that she is, despite numerous breakups over the years, still Gilbert Arenas' fiance. One has to wonder if, with his basketball career seemingly in the tail end, he is simply making the best of a bad situation.
*********

07-02-2011: We all have our opinions of the VH1 tv show 'Basketball Wives', but Gilbert Arenas has a different perspective than most of us, given that his ex-fiance, Laura Govan, is set to appear on the upcoming season. Arenas is suing Shed Media and Laura Govan for, among other things, trademark infringement and misappropriation of his likeness in an attempt to block the upcoming season of 'Basketball Wives'. Arenas is attempting to make the case that 'Basketball Wives' is not protected by the right to free expression and that the "Defendants are not ‘expressing’ anything other than their attempt to profit from plaintiff’s fame".
*********

According to the Washington Post, Laura Govan has not heard from Arenas in quite some time. Govan's publicist Laura Wright said, in an e-mailed statement, "Govan and the children feel like they have been abandoned."

Arenas also recently indicated to the press that he had, since at least Thanksgiving, been living with former teammate Nick Young. No word yet on which of his new Orlando Magic teammates he has become an unwelcome house guest for.

Also worthy of note, Govan is four months pregnant and, according to rumors, Gilbert has entirely cut her, and their children, off from support payments.
Fast Facts: The two have been together on and off for eight years, after meeting in 2001, while Gilbert was still playing with the Warriors. Laura was a public relations rep for the Sacremento Kings at the time. She later went on to work with the Los Angeles Lakers, and also work briefly as a personal assistant for Shaquille O'Neal. Laura and Gilbert has two kids together(daughter Izela and son Alijah), and are currently expecting their third child due December 24th.
Fun Facts: Gilbert and Laura originally dated for a couple of years before they broke up when Gilbert signed with Washington. After the end of the relationship, Gilbert was surprised to find out that Laura was pregnant with their first child in 2003. Despite the separation, Gilbert made efforts to take a leave from the Wizards to be present for the birth of their daughter. Shortly after the birth, the two began fighting about custody and support of the daughter, which could not be resolved amicably. Once Laura realized that an agreement wouldn’t be reached easily, she hired a San Francisco law firm with the intent of serving Gilbert with a subpoena during a nationally televised game. Gilbert caught wind of this information a couple weeks before the game, and worked in conjunction with the team to devise a story that he had the flu, and was unable to play in the name of preventing public humiliation. Even though he avoided being served on TV, Gilbert was forced to spend much of 2004 hiding from process servers, who on more than one occasion served one of Gilbert’s teammates in a case of mistaken identity. After much turmoil and frustration, Gilbert and Laura began speaking and negotiated terms of custody and child support. Gilbert bought Laura her own house near him so that he could be involved, while also providing her a car and financial allowance. After meeting face to face as part of the deal, they began speaking and ultimately dating again. The two have been together since, and are engaged to be married.

Run Gilbert Run! Be a good father to your kids but distance yourself from that woman as much and fast as possible. If the stories are true, it will only get worse. You are a professional bball player with many good years left. Shaq was a very good player in his day but, his days are numbered. Would you really want to think of Superman plowing yours?

Gilbert, in all honesty you should be there for your kids & be that father that they need in their lives. Their still young & need u more than any dollar in the world! Drama is very much unneccesary and it would be good to avoid it as much as possible...stay focused on ur game & trust that god sees and knows all.

You have more value than your money. Don't be dumb and let someone use you. She's beautiful and maybe you really love her but she hasn't been upstanding. There should be a limit to how much you're willing to endure and to put up with. No one is perfect but don't be sucker. You could find someone to really love you but not if you let her hold you captive. I wish you the best & I hope you find all that you're looking for!

Its most likely that Arenas isnt abandoning His kids, as for that ghetto, gold diggin dirty hoe bag is another question.. Good for him to not want her to utter his name.. Cause I imagine her sayin anythin bout him is to make herself feel better an forget that she's such a low dirty disgusting gruppie.. Atleast gruppies acknowledge what they are, n they dnt pretend they something they not..

It's hard for me to believe that Shaq would do that to Shaunie. It's like he had Prime at home an messed with a hamburger, WTF. Laura is not even close to Shaunie's level of integrity or BEAUTY. Laura's a FAT PIG with lipstick on, she even looks like a skank.

I know you

Where do I begin. Laura, you are nothing but a self-serving hypocritical fat bully. Seriously? It's okay if you talk about someone; of whom you know nothing about except from what you read on the internet? Yet you get mad because of somebody told you hearsay stories that someone is talking about you and your kids? Really? Don't degrade or put another woman down when you don't have anything to back it up. You're not a good example for your own children by cheating with a married man. You should lead by example for your children and fans of the BHLA show. You act so trashy and you look like a scank.

What a mess! The real basketball wives such as LaLa Anthony, Khloe Kardashian are much more classy than these drama queens on BWLA. Why does the public love to see women hating on each other?

i dunno about the rest of the world but i can't stand this bitch... she is one of the most conceded ugly peoples i have ever seen. i don't know how she even ended up the show. what was vh1 thinking? hell how did she end with a nba player? bitch is a fat ugly bitch....she might have gained the weight after the kids, but having babies does not make you ugly....just sayin

and in response to a_love....if they didn't want people to talk trash or be in their business they should not have put it out there for the world to see...and yea maybe some of its rumor and not true but that's the price of fame....and shit those bitches do the same exact thing on the show so why do you feel sorry for them??????
