Laura Govan’s recent appearance on “Basketball Wives” was a hot topic on social media.
“Basketball Wives” fans had plenty to say about Laura Govan‘s appearance during the latest season. Jennifer Williams invited Laura to pop up on the cast trip. Interestingly enough, Shaunie Henderson had just published a book in which she opened up about her marriage to Shaq. She brought up the time she found out Shaq had been having an affair with one of her former friends. Evelyn Lozada figured Shaunie was referencing Laura during this part of the book. So she confronted Laura about this in front of the group. In response, Laura told Evelyn and the others that the situation was none of their business. And the only person she needs to talk to about it is Shaunie who never appeared on the trip.
Many fans took to social media to praise how Laura handled the scene. Jackie Christie also escalated the matter when she reminded Evelyn that it was also rumored that she slept with Shaq.
Well, Laura said more during an interview with Carlos King.
Carlos asked Laura, “There are rumors that you had *** with Shaq. And the rumor is you never had *** with Shaq, but your sister did. You protected her by just allowing the rumor to be thrown at you.”
Laura responded, “I will not clean up nothing until I talk to Shaunie because she’s the one who started all this. So when she’s ready to have a woman-to-woman conversation, then I’ll let that be out, whatever it is and whatever happened…and the truth about what really happened and transpired. But not only are you going to hear my answer and what the truth is, I’m gonna give you some of you, too.”
Did Shaunie Henderson set up Laura Govan?
Carlos followed up with, “What do you mean you’ll give Shaunie some of her, too?”
Laura said, “Well because she thought me coming back on ‘Basketball Wives’ was gonna be like a, Oh Laura’s, she’s ready to say sorry. And she’s ready to confess. This is what I feel like because she had me ambushed. You saw it. Everybody saw it.”
When Carlos asked Laura if it was true that Shaunie allegedly blocked her from being on “Basketball Wives” for years, Laura said producers told her this. But Shaunie allegedly DM’d her earlier this year asking her to be on the show since people think she’s been blocked. Laura now feels like this was a setup. She was recently told that Shaunie has been in talks with Laura’s ex Gilbert Arenas. He and his fiancée would only join the cast if Laura was out.
Carlos inquired, “In your heart of hearts, do you believe Evelyn was sent by Shaunie to bring up the Shaq thing in order for you to be embarrassed on national television? Or that was just their way to have it addressed?”
Laura believes the point was to ambush her.
“I felt it was to be embarrassed. I felt it was to be ambushed.”
Evelyn Lozada rubbed Laura Govan the wrong way.
She thinks it was messy for Evelyn to read the excerpts from the book.
“What I didn’t like was how messy she made it. You didn’t have to do that.”
Laura added, “But those are things I’m gonna address with her when I get back on that show since you don’t wanna do it when I see you at Whole Foods.”
She went on to say Evelyn’s business isn’t discussed.
“Cause if you running around here, and I mean Evelyn being the spokesperson for Shaunie, that’s what I didn’t appreciate either because we had just had a conversation. And again, I get what we’re doing for TV. But we’re talking about real life ****. This my real life. I’ve been dealing with this ********, this lie forever. So since you think it’s funny and a game to you…after I told you a lot of stuff in the car, producers got that tape. They can run it back. But you want to sit here and you the number one stunner. Nobody’s talking about you.”
Laura continued, “What we doing with the three-letter words? You the big three on every level. We got NBA, we got NFL, we got MLB. We got R&B. We got LMB, that’s the Latin. We got the HOV. You might as well get in you C A R and drive the **** away.”
Carlos needed clarity, “The HOV?”
Laura didn’t back down, “She riding HOV lane…nobody’s talking about you. Play fair, let’s play fair. *****, you can’t name three people I slept with.”
She also told Carlos that she found out Draya messed around with Gilbert and he gave her $25,000. In response, Laura allegedly beat up Draya so badly that the footage was never aired.
It was clear as day they brought Laura back to promote Shaunie’s book. It tickled me when Jackie said she thought Shaunie was talking about Evelyn. Evelyn slept with Tami’s husband so neither she nor Shaunie need to die on this hill. Sleeping with married men is what most of those women do anyway because all they care about is having access to money.
It’s always a flop when Evelyn and Shaunie pretend to have morals. Pack it up please.
They wanted to embarrass Laura but the plan failed and only reminded us Evelyn and Shaunie ruined both shows.
Now I truly beleive they (tami) used evelyn as a scape goat telling shaunie evelyn slept with shaq,, when all along it was laura….her & her sister record is known for this..( gloria-matt-derek fisher)..why yall think she (laura) don’t wanna talk about it on camera.
It’s in that book( shaunie) because she know the truth.
Gloria slept with Shaq not Laura. Just like Gloria slept with Gilbert. You’d struggle to name five men Laura has been with. Evelyn is in no position to call anyone out for sleeping with a married man when she slept with Tami’s husband and eats booty holes for cash. Shaunie has a hoe past too I’m sure she left out of that book.
Evelyn’s track record of f-cking literally involves every major sports league. Gloria and Laura have less bodies between them but you tried though. Shaunie said she never loved Shaq so why should anybody care who he cheated with? I doubt she loves the pastor she married either because a man/radio personality said Shaunie paid him for s-x a week before the wedding. She never sued him, never said what he said was a lie. So Shaunie and Evelyn should sit down and worry about their own c—chies. Neither are saints.
I believe Laura. Wilma and Betty get on my nerves.
The ratings for Basketball 🏀 Wives are extremely low and this is just used as a story line. If this is the best production can do then they can FORGET it!!!
All Laura had to do is say no. She’s not new to the game. She fell for the okie doke.
