Dwight Howard's following was blindsided by the claims that have earned the athlete multiple news headlines this past weekend. Masin Elije, who identifies as a gay man and claims to be Howard's former lover, accused the ball player of cheating on him with other men as well as transgender women. These claims stunned the masses, part of which may have wondered about how Howard's ex-girlfriend may be dealing with the situation.
Royce Reed, who has an 11-year-old son with Howard, seemed prepared for the flow of commentary concerning her former partner. She headed to social media, anticipating the onslaught of potentially negative utterances, shortly after Dwight was outed. The meme shows an image of a man finding his seat in a movie theater with text that reads, " Excuse me. The comments are starting."
She left the floor open to social media users, opting to include several popcorn emojis in the caption without elaborating on her opinion. The tone of her post points to her being at least slightly amused by the situation. Her following upload rocks with that same unbothered vibe.
Dwight Howard and Royce Reed broke up when their son was still a baby. The Washington Wizards' center later sued her for defamation. Reed accused him of abusing their son soon after.
