News of Dwight Howard placing a gag order on Royce Reed spread like wildfire especially in entertainment magazines and websites. Reed is one of her so-called baby mamas and unfortunately, they’re still battling it out in court especially over the custody of their child. But what others are wondering about is why he didn’t place a gag order on
Hope Alexa.
It was in 2010 when Howard and Alexa became an official couple but their relationship ended sooner than expected leaving Alexa a baby daughter. She didn’t have any regrets as far as her relationship with Howard is concerned because she is happy to be a single mother to her one and only two-year-old daughter. Though she never admitted it yet that Howard is indeed the daddy, one can conclude he sure is because the child resembles him. Also, Alexa wasn’t involved with other men when they were still seeing each other back then.
Howard and Reed is another story. This baby mama is not just fighting for custody over their child but is also asking for $100,000 from Howard to cover her legal fees. Howard filed a
gag order against her after she said some very nasty things about him that destroyed his reputation and image as a basketball star. She accused him of being mentally unstable, immoral, and having substances around his place that their child can see and even touch. She also mentioned that he is unfit to have custody of their son. No wonder, Howard appealed to have her lips sealed for a while.
So why didn’t he place a gag order on Alexa? The answer is simple. She never said anything negative about Howard that can destroy his career. As it is, she is very contented and happy being a single parent. She never confirmed that Howard is her baby’s father nor did he claim he is.
Alexa is one of those who also don’t like the spotlight on her. She’s happy working out and training for bikini competitions. She also has her hands full as a fulltime mother. These prove that she can live with or without Howard and doesn’t care what he does with his life. She never made her relationship with the star a stepping stone towards being popular.
Many women admire her for that. She is not like other women who were linked to Howard who made it known to the whole world through social media sites that they were his girl. They never had a custody battle or tongue-lashing arguments. Looking at her now, she is a picture of a happy, contented, and successful woman.
Perhaps Howard also didn’t place a gag order on Hope Alexa because he knows and understands what that can do to destroy her career too. It is rumored that she will be in Basketball Wives next season and a gag order can only prevent her from performing her role.
