The Tyrod-Draya situation has now taken a dramatic turn with the recent birth of Draya’s child with NBA star Jalen Green.
However, this lawsuit dates back to last August, when Draya claimed Taylor bought the house and let her and her children move in. According to the lawsuit, they allegedly agreed that Michele would eventually purchase the property from Taylor.
In the legal documents, Draya revealed that she lives in Chatsworth, California and that Tyrod and his company own the home.
Draya also stated that Tyrod purchased the home for her in August 2022 so she could live there with her children. The pair then had a “romantic relationship, and Mr. Taylor promised that any contributions she made towards either improving or satisfying the mortgage of the property would be applied towards the purchase value of the property when she decides she wishes to transfer title.”
“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 legal document stated.
According to Draya, the deal stated that any payments she made towards the property would be applied to her down payment if she decided to buy the home between November 2023 and October 2025. Draya stated that neither party signed the agreement, but they both verbally agreed to its terms.
However, the quarterback has allegedly threatened to sell the house and evict her.
In the lawsuit, Draya claimed that “the lack of formality stemmed from the fact that” they were “in an intimate relationship at the time of contract formation.”
Draya argued that she had made significant improvements to the home over time, stating that she offered $2 .8 million for it in October 2023.
She stated that Tyrod responded by demanding immediate proof of funds or a mortgage approval letter from a lender to prove her ability to purchase. She also claimed he requested $19, 000 monthly for the remainder of her time on the property.
Tyrod’s counteroffer was purchasing the home for $3.2 million. Draya disclosed that she agreed to the $3.2 million price and $19,000 monthly rent until the transaction was completed. She claimed she spent $270,000 improving the property, which had to be deducted from the sale price.
However, Draya stated that despite the agreement and the work she put into the home, “they are refusing to sell the property to her despite the substantial improvements she has invested in the property, believing in good faith she would eventually own the property, and thereby unjustly benefiting the defendants.”
