We told you previously that Chris Bosh had filed a lawsuit to block his baby momma from appearing on "Basketball Wives," and now Gilbert Arenas has hired Bosh's legal team to file suit against Laura Govan, hoping to keep her off the L.A. spinoff of the show. Deets inside....
Although Laura Govan got knocked up by Gilbert Arenas four times and he never married her, he doesn't think she has the right to talk about it alongside her sister, Gloria Govan. He says it would ruin his image. Oh no--we can't have THAT be the cause of your already ruined image Gil.
This is all part of the argument in a new lawsuit filed by the "Reality TV-Dream Crushing Team" of legal experts who attempt to keep big-mouthed baby mommas and ex-fiancees off of TV shows like "Basketball Wives."
His lawyers wrote:
“The presence of the defendant Govan and the title of the show is an obvious reference” to the NBA star, of the Orlando Magic, his lawyers wrote. As marketed, the show is “likely to mislead or confuse consumers that defendant Govan is either married to Plaintiff and/or has special insight into Plaintiff’s current life,” the suit states.
The suit goes on to accuse Laura and "BBW"'s producers of trademark infringement, false advertising and misappropriation of the star’s likeness, among other claims.
And although Laura has already taped a few scenes for "BBW: L.A.," Chris Bosh's baby momma Allison Mathis was in the same situation last month...and she got kicked off the show.
A part of my nosey self wants to see Laura air out her and Gilbert's dirty laundry (you know, what we haven't ALREADY seen), but his legal team will likely shut that down. Time will tell.....
