The aftermath of Draya Michele and Tyrod Taylor’s three-year relationship has shifted from private breakup to public courtroom drama. The NFL quarterback is pursuing an eviction lawsuit to remove Draya and her family from a Los Angeles home he purchased during their time together, Yahoo reports.
Draya, an entrepreneur and model, insists she invested heavily in the property with the intention of eventually buying it outright, but the breakup derailed their arrangement.
Initially, Taylor agreed to cover the property’s purchase while Draya contributed financially through rent and improvements, expecting to secure ownership in time. However, their split introduced complications.
After Draya began a relationship with NBA player Jalen Green, Taylor reportedly reneged on the informal deal. Draya alleges she invested $300,000 in the property with the understanding that these payments would go toward its $3.2 million price tag.
The conflict reached a breaking point on November 20 when Draya’s nanny alerted her that Sheriff’s Department officers arrived to enforce an eviction. Draya, away on a business trip, described the call as shocking, claiming no prior knowledge of eviction proceedings. She immediately contacted her legal team to intervene and halt the process.
Legal fireworks and emotional fallout
Court filings reveal Taylor’s company initiated an eviction lawsuit against Draya, resulting in a default judgment. Draya argues she was never formally served with legal notice, suggesting Taylor bypassed standard procedures by mailing documents.
Meanwhile, Tyrod Taylor maintains she bears responsibility for failing to respond. The legal wrangling has left Draya temporarily allowed to remain in the home, but the dispute remains unresolved.
Fans have been quick to speculate whether Taylor’s actions stem from unresolved emotions or strictly business concerns. For Draya, the issue is about protecting the significant investment she made while adhering to their initial agreement.
Though she has refrained from extensive public commentary, her commitment to retaining the home suggests she plans to challenge Taylor’s lawsuit vigorously.
The situation highlights the blurred lines between personal relationships and business dealings. For now, both parties are entrenched in their positions, with the home serving as a symbol of their fractured relationship.
