Houston Rockets star Jalen Green has been a key contributor to the team's success this season, but he might have more on his mind right now than just basketball.
According to the Daily Mail, his girlfriend, Draya Michele, is facing serious legal turmoil. NFL quarterback Tyrod Taylor has allegedly escalated their feud by filing an eviction lawsuit to get her out of the house he paid for.
Taylor, currently Aaron Rodgers' backup with the New York Jets, dated Michele for three years. The couple went their separate ways in 2023, and while the separation initially seemed amicable, things have reportedly taken a turn for the worse.

They reportedly had an agreement in which Michele would rent the house from Taylor with plans of purchasing it outright at some point. However, it seems like Taylor now has other intentions.
Members of the Sheriff's Department allegedly repeatedly showed up at the home to evict her. Michele has reportedly claimed to have been blindsided by this situation, stating that she was never notified about the proceedings.
For the time being, Michele and her family are to continue staying in the house until the legal feud is resolved.
Draya Michele shares cryptic comments on Instagram
It doesn't seem like things are going to end any time soon. Michele has also filed a lawsuit against Taylor over an alleged breach of a verbal agreement. They had reportedly agreed on a $3.2 million price for her to acquire the property:
“On or about October 23, 2023, [Draya] and [Tyrod] memorialized the terms of their oral agreement by drafting a Residential Lease Agreement with an Option to Buy Agreement,” the suit said. Draya said the deal wasn’t signed because the couple were deeply in love and didn’t want to complicate things with talks of written contracts," reported the Daily Mail.
Michele didn't let this legal turmoil get the best of her positive attitude. Shortly after the news broke, she shared some posts on Instagram, with one about being glad at not being a "bitter, miserable b*tch":
"I love my life! I'm so glad I'm not a bitter, miserable b*tch," followed by "What makes us human?" and "Selecting all the images with traffic lights."
While she didn't necessarily refer to Taylor or this situation, fans believe it might not have been much of a coincidence at all.
