The Big Picture
Royce Reed, ex-girlfriend of Dwight Howard, is finally speaking out about the troubling experiences she endured during their 15 relationship and co-parenting struggles.
Reed alleges that Howard, in a concerning display of parenting, told a 12-year-old child that they were "gay" for not consuming explicit content. This exposes Howard's questionable behavior, while also revealing Reed's revelations about Howard's treatment of both his former partners and children. It further unveils a concealed history of NDAs and undisclosed secrets in his life as an NBA player.
Royce Reed, a former cast member of Basketball Wives and ex-partner of Dwight Howard, has recently spoken out about their past relationship. Despite previously being under a gag order imposed by Howard, Reed is now able to openly discuss her experiences with him. She was previously a cheerleader for the Orlando Magic, the team Howard played for at the time. Reed chose to speak out against Howard after a video of him motivating his children gained significant attention.
In her comments on the Shade Room's posts, Reed claimed that Howard had told a 12-year-old child that he was "gay" for not watching explicit material. Reed also described Howard as an "evil" person. Howard, who has fathered five children with different women, allegedly asked Reed to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to become the "matriarch" of his polyamorous relationships. Additionally, Reed accused Howard of paying individuals to launch smear campaigns against the mothers of his children.
Reed's Comments Cone at a Rough Time For Howard
Reed has now come forward to publicly criticize Howard for his treatment of his former partners, his parenting approach, and the hidden aspects of his personal life that he concealed through non-disclosure agreements and locked doors throughout his NBA career. In what appears to be a direct reference to the ongoing scandal involving Howard, she shared a meme stating: "Your ego and lack of respect sparked it all. *Jackie-O TKO.*"
In addition to being labeled as a negligent father by Reed, Howard faces appalling allegations of sexual assault from Stephen Harper. Although Howard has acknowledged engaging in sexual encounters with the person involved, he vehemently denies any non-consensual behavior, asserting that their relationship was consensual. Moreover, Howard chooses not to discuss his sexual orientation.
