Gloria Govan Classifies Draya Michele As A Groupie

Basketball Wives LA star Gloria Govan has an interesting take on exactly what classifies a woman as a groupie and according to her standard, Draya Michele is a groupie. For the first few episodes the ladies on Basketball Wives, Laura Govan, Jackie Christie and even Malaysia Pargo placed Draya Michele in the groupie box. It appears the ladies are trying their hardest to separate themselves from the groupie label. But while what exactly makes someone a groupie has alluded many (not really), Gloria has reduced it to a science.

She tell S2S magazine,

“Someone who dates multiple players like in the same field is a groupie.”

“If you continue to date athletes, you’re going to be considered a groupie. At some point in time, you have to have respect for yourself and not dip into the same cookie jar. I know women who’ve dated different basketball players. I’m attracted to athletes, but I have enough respect for Matt not to date one of his colleagues.”

Who knew it was that simple?! Draya has openly admitted to dating more than one basketball player but quite frankly this is just a sad attempt by Gloria to once again separate herself from Draya…when really they’re in the same boat.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
