Who is Draya Michele? Meet Tyrod Taylor's ex-girlfriend suing Jets QB over eviction claims

Draya Michele is suing Tyrod Taylor, the New York Jets quarterback, over a house deal that she claims was unfair to her. In the lawsuit, Michele alleges that Taylor bought a home back in the LA area in 2022 and allowed his then-girlfriend and her children to move in with him.

TMZ Sports reports that the suit alleges they verbally agreed that she could one day buy the home from him. Now, Michele alleges that Taylor is refusing to sell the house and threatening to evict her.

According to their agreement, any contributions she made to the house, such as replacing the flooring or other remodeling efforts, would factor into the home's cost when Michele decided to buy it.

In her lawsuit, she claims that her investments worth nearly $300K in the home didn't take any price off after she offered $2.8 million and Taylor countered at $3.2 million.
