Basketball wives LA star Gloria Govan have moved on from her much loathed position on Basketball Wives Miami. Gloria had no love for her nemesis Royce Reed when she compares her to Draya, who has absolutely no business being on BBW. Unlike her sister Laura Govan who also spoke to Loop 21, Gloria appears to have some sense - to clarify - she can articulate herself without cursing or using the n-word. Check out excerpts of the interview below: Why did you decide to join the cast of “Basketball Wives L.A.?” Gloria Govan: I’m obviously a huge fan of the Miami show but when we moved to L.A. when Matt [Barnes] got traded to the Lakers, Shaunie [O’Neal] had offered me the opportunity to do the spin-off … this time you can be around people that you like and that you know and so that’s why. I like these girls and I had the opportunity to jump on board. So why did you choose Draya Michelle? She’s not tied to a specific basketball player. Draya was chosen on the cast because we met Draya through acting class and she seemed like a real sweetheart. Not necessarily knowing her background per se, but just knowing she had some involvement. She kind of plays the role of Royce [Reed] I guess you could say, in terms of her role on Basketball Wives L.A. That’s one of the reasons. We just wanted to give everybody a different dynamic, a 3D version of what we have to deal with as wives and different points of view. It was a lot of fun. My sister and I, we’re sisters, we compete, we argue, bicker … it’s all sisterly love but it was a lot of fun. My sister and I get along really well. We have our moments where we argue, her getting on my nerves and me getting on her nerves but it was a lot of fun. I’m excited that people are going to see a different side of Laura [Govan] and get her take on her situation and kind of get to see us interact as sisters. How are things with Matt? Do you have a date set for real? How’s that going? (Laughs) You said for real! No, we’re not married. Matt and I are good. We’re just kind of taking our time, just kind of getting to know each other. As we’ve expressed before, we’ve never lived alone. We’ve always had somebody live with us. We had kids really early in our relationship. So, this is our time, in terms of just kind of living with one another, getting to know each other, and really just kind of becoming friends because our relationship was so rushed … now that the dust has settled a little bit Matt and I are just kicking back and enjoying each other. |
