“Basketball Wives LA” star Draya Michele has managed to make plenty out of her reality stardom considering she now has a fashion line which consists of selling swimsuits and t-shirts (Fine A*s Girls and Mint Swim), but her successful business endeavors haven’t managed to quiet most of her critics who are still dragging her on Twitter daily for what allegedly happened with her son a few years ago. Draya’s parenting skills have been the target of vicious jokes on social media, but Draya is back on good terms with her mom and her son, and they even moved back in with her in California. She’s also smiling from ear to ear these days because she’s in a happy relationship with Dallas Cowboys player Orlando Scandrick. So she feels she’s in a much happier place these days, despite all the backlash she still keeps getting over her son.
Draya has already made it clear on Twitter and in interviews that it’s scary to her that people are so interested in her child and it’s the reason she doesn’t like to put him in the spotlight very often. Depsite that, she’s made it apparent she’s proud of her success.
The reality star recently took to her Twitter account to tell her followers and critics that they should admire her success because she started from the bottom. She tweets (read from the bottom to the top):
When one of her followers told her to stop responding to a young woman who went after her on Twitter after they had a less than friendly run in at a bar, Draya says people only go after her to gain quick fame (read tweets from top to bottom):
In related news, Draya also confirmed via Twitter that “Basketball Wives LA” is set to return in January.
Draya please sit your a-s down and be quiet. You act like you’re on Oprah status. You have a damn tshirt line and some cheap a-s swimsuits. Chill.
She cares too much about what strangers say to her on Twitter. It’s not healthy.
I agree. At some point she just have to stop responding!
*has
Real talk I respect Draya’s hustle attitude and you can tell she still feels bad about what happened to her son but how many times is he going to respond to it on Twitter? Seriously.
I’m trying to understand why people are still dragging her everyday. It’s old now. She can’t even tweet about the weather without someone bringing up her son. It’s wack and it’s actually cyber bullying. If someone did the same thing to those people they would act a fool and cry foul. People think social media’s purpose is to bully people. Smh.
I agree! The people that keep coming for her on Twitter need to get a life! She’s doing way better than they are and they know it! Don’t hate!
but lets not forget when she shaded Sklyar diggins..ijs
Draya is Kim K without the sex tape. For the life of me I don’t know why these “women” think their claim to fame deserves respect. I save my admiration for women who put themselves on and didn’t have to rely on whore antics and reality shows to make something out of themselves. There are real women out here starting businesses and winning in life, but these trashy women want to be placed on pedestals like they did something special. Oh please.
You better preach!!!! **standing ovation**
Girl please. People keep bringing up your son because you keep responding to it. Get a clue.
She’s a business owner but still finds time to tweet all day about absolutely nothing? Interesting.
They drag her because she always gives them a reaction.
I may not care for the girl but people are going really hard with this. I’d see if she were still neglecting her son but all she’s doing is selling bathing suits and clothes. Can’t hate if people are dumb enough to buy a hat that says fine ass girls on it. However she is entirely too sensitive over the tweets of others. Time to grow up Draya…
Sorry Draya, no admiration here. But good luck on whatever you’re doing
