Draya Michele has reportedly filed a case against her former-boyfriend, NFL player Tyrod Taylor.
As per to an exclusive report published by TMZ on Thursday, June 27, Michele “just” filed the case against Taylor. The 39-year-old and mom of 3 is reportedly accusing the NFL vet of not holding up his end of a “house deal” they previously made.
The suit, reportedly obtained by the outlet, asserts that Taylor purchased a home in Los Angeles in 2022. Subsequently, he permit Michele and her children to move into the residence.
As per to Michele, while, she and Taylor entered a verbal agreement “that would permit her to one day buy” the home from the NFL player. The mom of three alleges that she and Taylor agreed that “any contributions” she made to the house would go toward the residence’s final purchase price. These “contributions” reportedly included “improvements to the place or mortgage payments.”
Michele and Taylor’s verbal exchange was reportedly made while they were still dating. Including, TMZ noticed that the duo did not document their verbal deal with a written agreement.
But, In Touch Weekly reports that the lawsuit notes that in October 2023, “[Draya] and [Tyrod] memorialized the terms of their oral agreement by drafting a Residential Lease Agreement with an Option to Buy Agreement.” But, neither party signed the agreement.
As per to the case, Michele eventually offered Taylor $2.8 million for the home. However, in January 2024, he countered her offer with a request for $3.2 million. Michele ultimately agreed and allegedly spent $300,000 on the home, which she believed would go toward the purchase price.
Michele is now alleging that Taylor has renigged on their contract. Including, she says Taylor is now threatening to evict her from the asset, and he’s refusing to sell the house.
“Furthermore, they are refusing to sell the asset to her in spite of the substantial improvements she has invested in the asset, believing in good faith she would eventually own the property, and thereby unjustly benefiting the defendants,” the suit reportedly states, per In Touch Weekly.
Media notes that Michele is reportedly suing Taylor for “breach of contract” and is seeking “unspecified damages.”
