Here is a piece advice for all women who are dating, have a baby by, doing it “Tigerstyle” and etc with an athlete:
THE INTERNET IS NOT THE WAY TO VOICE YOUR FRUSTATIONS
Not twitter, not facebook, not lipstick alley, not MySpace or any place that comments are public.
Even if your claims or rants are true it comes across bad and it makes you seem petty, jealous, vengeful, mean and vindictive.
Take the case of Royce Reed the mother of Dwight Howard’s 2 year old son. It is very clear from her statements that she doesn’t think Howard is living up to his responsibilities as a parent, but the avenue she expressed those frustrations (i.e. the internet) has led Howard to file a 9.2 million lawsuit against her for violating an injunction forbidding her from talking about Howard in any way.
Reed’s lawyer says his client didn’t make the statements that appeared on Lipstick alley, but the facts are that comments similar to that have come out and that is the problem.
Howard’s image which some would consider “Tiger Like” (before the crash not after) has been the aggressor in attempting to show that Miss Reed is trying to ruin his image.
I am not going to get into he/she said, but if anything these last few weeks have shown us is that the truth is most likely somewhere in the middle.
I will say it is a bit silly for Howard to sue the mother of his child for almost 10 million dollars.
What exactly is he trying to prove? That he can stop anyone from saying something negatively about him?
From a legal standpoint it might be brilliant move, but from a personal standpoint it is a bit childish.
I would think for the betterment of the child he would want to have at least a cordial relationship with Miss Reed. So instead of lawsuits how about just talking to her because even though the child is only two it won’t take long before he is old enough to understand that his dad more interested in lawsuits than working things out and spending time with him.
