Latest Legal Battle Between One Time Couple NBA star Gilbert Arenas’ battle with his baby mama – who he sued over alleged lies about him giving her an STD – is turning nasty. A Los Angeles judge has issued a bench warrant for Laura Govan after she didn’t turn up for a hearing on the suit yet again, BOSSIP has learned. Arenas sued Govan – with whom he shares 4 kids – for defamation, accusing her of concocting a scheme to humiliate him in the press – and spreading lies about him giving her STD’s. He explained Govan was bitter after he broke up with her. She decided to write an email to him with the line, “When I left you it was because I couldn’t take the STDs.” However, he claimed it was lies and she leaked it to the media, according to court docs. The judge awarded Arenas a default judgment in the amount of $110,100 and ordered Govan to pay up to her baby daddy Back in January, Arenas filed docs in the case demanding Govan produce her financial information and records for him to examine the amount of assets and property in her possession in order to collect on the $110,000 he is owed.

Then recently, the exes were to appear in court, where Arenas was supposed to finally inspect Govan’s financial records because of the judgment he won against her. The hearing was set for June 23rd but once again Govan blew off the hearing and did not show up, according to court records. As a result, the judge issued a bench warrant and ordered bond in the amount of $5,000. The hearing was continued until next month and Arena’s lawyers were instructed to inform Govan to show up or face more consequences by the judge.
Getty Images LaVar Ball’s Family Land Facebook Reality Show LaVar Ball went from ripping his shirt off in the ring last week to signing a reality TV show deal. Not bad for a “regular dad”. The outspoken helicopter dad just landed a reality series for his self and his three ball playing sons that will be airing on Facebook. The series will be the first of its kind to air across the platform, as Facebook moves forward into pushing video content, according to Deadline . The project is untitled so far, but we can reportedly expect a docuseries style show, about the Ball family, whose sons Lonzo, Liangelo and LaMelo have “taken the basketball world by storm”. Freshman UCLA star Lonzo Ball was chosen by the Los Angeles Lakers as their No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft last month, while Liangelo and LaMelo are stand-outs at Chino Hills High School. The number and length of episodes of both series is still to be determined. Nick Grudin, Facebook’s vice president of media partnerships said about the online hub’s foray into original video content, per the report: “Our goal is to make Facebook a place where people can come together around video, to help get there, we’re supporting a small group of partners and creators as they experiment with the kinds of shows you can build a community around – from sports to comedy to reality to gaming.” Will you be watching?
Getty Images Steph Curry Signed A 5-Year Extension With The Warriors For $201 Million Secure the bag alert: Steph Curry is really out here. Curry has become the first player in NBA history to sign a supermax contract, or a contract that crosses the $200M mark: $201 million for a five-year commitment. Golden State general manager Bob Myers said that the Warriors will finalize the contract once the free-agency moratorium ends this Thursday. This is a biiiiig jump for Curry, who’s last deal was a four-year contract for $44 million. He was one free agent this time around that fans and NBA insiders alike had no doubt would stay in his beloved Golden State. Golden State owner Joe Lacob said prior to news of the supermax contract, “I know he wants to be here and we want him here. So I do not anticipate any issues with him staying…We’re going to do whatever it takes to keep Steph here and happy,” and it looks like they did just that. This four-time NBA All-Star ain’t going nowhere. Raise your hand if you’d take $201 million to stay right where you are.
