Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas’ days on the court may be over, but his days in court show no signs of coming to an end.
As you may already know, Arenas has four kids with Basketball Wives star Laura Govan, and the former couple’s petty squabbling would be hugely entertaining – were it not for the fact that there are four kids involved.
The Arenas-Govan beef makes the Brangelina split look like a tea party, and it’s hard to choose just one highlight.
Remember the time Govan served Arenas with a subpoena during halftime of a game against the Heat?
How about when Arenas tried to get Govan kicked off Basketball Wives because she’s not his wife and thus, doesn’t qualify?
Yes, it’s been an incredibly savage and, at times, pretty amusing back-and-forth, but Arenas may have just brought the bickering to a stop with his latest mic drop moment.
Check out this Snapchat video from Monday night:
Yes, that’s Arenas having his kids stack bundles like they’re in the freakin’ Medellin Cartel.
And why are these grade-schoolers involved in such a vaguely gangster-y act?
Well, it seems Gilbert wanted to send his ex the message that she won’t be getting her hands on his loot any time soon.
Most professional athletes brag about how much money they have.
Arenas is taking a different route by telling the world that his final NBA contract will stop paying out at the end of the month, at which time, he’ll be living off the interest from his past investments.
Arenas is still owed $ 110,000, so it’s kinda like that scene in Goodfellas where Paul Sorvino hands Ray Liotta a huge ass knot of bills and you’re like, “Oh, sweet!” but then you’re like, “Oh, snap, he has to live off that for the rest of his life.”
But don’t go crying for Arenas.
He reportedly has tens of millions in investments which will likely bring in high-six figures or more in interest returns.
And none of that is eligible to be earmarked for child support, as it’s not considered new income.
Oh, also don’t feel bad for him because he’s kind of a jackass.
He made these videos so that Govan would know that her “kids are richer than she is.”
He also posted this pic of “gold digger-proof” lock boxes:
As for the kids’ private school that Arenas says he can no longer afford?
He encourages Govan to start “selling that p–sy” in order to pay for it herself.
Gilbert Arenas – classy, or too classy?
You be the judge.
