Dwight Howard Seeks $500,000 Judgement Against Mother of His Child

Tuesday, April 26, 2011 Amir Shaw

Dwight Howard has yet to score a big win during the 2011 NBA Playoffs, but he hopes to score a victory against the mother of his child in court. A Florida judge awarded Howard $500,000 last September after Royce Reed broke a court order that prohibited her from speaking about Howard during interviews and on the VH1 show, “Basketball Wives.” On the show, Reed often talked negatively about Howard and discussed their rocky relationship on camera.

Howard is now putting a full court press on Reed by suing her in the state of California. He hopes to receive $551,606.74 from Reed.

In the meantime, Howard is hoping to find a way to figure out how to defeat the Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs. The Orlando Magic are one game away from elimination. –a.r.
