Gilbert Arenas switches Laura Govan's ring with a bootleg version

The divorce of Gilbert Arenas and his former partner Laura Govan got ugly as the media got to feast on their rocky relationship. In an interview with DJ Vlad, the former Washington Wizards star shared a story of how he switched a $400,000 diamond ring he got for Govan with a bootleg version worth $10,000.

It happened after Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govan had an argument. Days later, he wanted to get back the diamond he got her. To do so, he fooled Govan in reconciliation, and once the coast was clear, Arenas switched the rings.

As the divorce was finalized years later, Govan brought the situation to the media with Arenas baring the secret he has been keeping.

"Me being the troll that I am, I took a picture, put the ring on and posted online," said Arenas. "Probably realized she had a fake one — and then she filed a lawsuit to get the ring back."

According to Gilbert Arenas, Laura Govan lost the lawsuit to get the ring back and used the money from selling the piece of jewelry to pay his attorney fees during the trial.
