Draya Michele reportedly hit the courtroom just days after sheriffs showed up at her L.A. home, attempting to lock her out, as she’s still in a legal dispute with her ex, Tyrod Taylor, over the property.
Court docs obtained by In Touch show that Draya, who’s 39, shared that officers rolled up to her Chatsworth, California home on November 20, right around a week before Thanksgiving. The news outlet reports that Draya stated she received an “alarming phone call from her children’s nanny while she was away on a business trip that the sheriffs were at the subject property to lock the occupants out of the subject property.” Draya said she wasted no time and called her lawyer, who sped over to her place to handle the situation and keep the sheriffs from locking her out.
The model revealed that this was when she found out Tyrod’s company had filed an eviction lawsuit against her—news that caught her completely off guard. She mentioned that a default judgment had been issued in the case. Draya pointed out that she never got served with any paperwork, and neither Tyrod, who’s 35, nor his legal team bothered to clue her in on the situation, even though they were already in the middle of their own legal battles initiated by her.
Tyrod reportedly got the court’s green light to serve Draya through the mail, which implies he didn’t break any laws. However, Draya insists she never got any documents sent to her that way.
As In Touch first reported, earlier this year, Draya filed a lawsuit asking the court to make the NFL star stick to their agreement about selling her a house he bought.
Draya claims Tyrod picked up the property back in August 2022 while they were still together, saying it was meant for her and her kids. The arrangement was that she’d pay him rent each month.
She also mentioned that he agreed to let her buy the house from him sometime between November 2023 and November 2025. In October 2023, Draya put in an offer of $2.8 million for the place, but Tyrod countered at $3.2 million, which she accepted. She kept up with the $19,000 monthly rent and even dropped $270,000 on home improvements. Now, Draya claims that despite their agreement, Tyrod is trying to back out and refusing to sell her the house.
