Laura Govan Ordered To Pay Gilbert Arenas
Laura Govan has received yet another legal blow in her Gilbert Arenas drama.
As previously reported Laura claimed she was entitled to half of Arenas’ fortune after they lived together as “husband and wife.” That suit was dropped however after she and her lawyer failed to show in court.
Now she’s been ordered to pay Arenas over $110,000 over a scandal where she allegedly leaked emails to blogs claiming that she contracted STDs from her ball player ex.
TMZ reports:
Gilbert Arenas has won a battle against Laura Govan, but he hasn’t won the war — a judge just ordered her to pay him A LOT of money in one of their lawsuits against each other.
As we previously reported, Arenas sued his baby mama for libel after she allegedly wrote a nasty email about how he gave her STDs … and then leaked it to various media outlets.
The ex-NBA star claimed the email humiliated him and affected his ability to work on his app without distraction.
Arenas just got a default judgment in the case, in which the judge ordered Govan to pay $110,110 for his emotional distress.
Arenas was looking for seven figures, but the judge said there was not enough evidence to award that amount — and also took into account that Govan said she “has very limited financial means at this time.”
Sheesh.
The drama between these two is seemingly never ending, hopefully they can be more cordial for the sake of their four kids.
