Gloria Govan Breaks It Down About Matt Barnes, Not Getting Married & The Infamous Shaunie O'Neal Ambush

​ ​ ​ ​

 

Though she's rarely been seen on this season's "Basketall Wives," the ambush of Gloria Govan has been one of the show's most buzzworthy moments.  Come inside to see what Gloria has to say about the infamous ambush, her cancelled wedding to Matt Barnes and what's next for her...

 

Gloria Govan, the girlfriend/babymama of LA Laker Matt Barnes, called up to Power 92.1 to talk about why she came back for a 2nd season of “Basketball Wives,” the cancelled wedding, the domestic violence "situation," the infamous ambush and more. Here are the highlights:

 

On returning to “Basketball Wives” for a 2nd season

Although being very adamant about not returning for the 2nd season of BBW, she said she came back “to “set ‘em straight.” She knew the other “wives” had plenty to say about her and Matt canceling their wedding, so she wanted to come back to see if they would say the things they were saying in interviews to her face.

On their wedding being called off

The wedding was called off because she said they were doing it to please other people. She said when they first decided to get married they were doing it for all the wrong reasons.

On Matt Barnes and infidelity rumors

She’s never had any concrete evidence that Matt Barnes cheated on her. She said she was more upset with Matt Barnes for entertaining the woman that he was rumored to be cheating on her with. She says she trusts Matt 100% but was VERY hesitant when answering the question.

On Matt Barnes signing a multi-million dollar deal with the Lakers

She was nervous about where they was going after leaving Orlando. She said she was relieved that they were going back to the west coast. She was happy that they didn’t go to Miami because of the groupies.

On her calling 911 on Matt Barnes physically abusing her

She says Matt never hit her. She and Matt got into a heated argument outside and it escalated. There was no physical abuse or any physical altercation. She says she takes the blame for the situation because Matt ended up getting arrested. She says she didn’t bail him out because she was frustrated with him but her family bailed him out.

On the status of their relationship

She’s still his fiancée and they still plan to get married.

On her having a relationships with other NBA players

Gloria says she never had a relationship or had sex with Gilbert Arenas prior to her sister hooking up with Gilbert. She said she never had a relationship with Chris Webber either.

On why she doesn’t get along with the other “Wives”

She thinks the other women on the show don’t like her because she didn’t throw her sister under the bus because of rumors of her sister sleeping with Shaq. She thinks the other women are frustrated with her because she didn’t bash Matt like the other women did their partners.

On the ambush in the restaurant

She responds, “What are yall grown women doing? Especially Shaunie, I’m like ‘don’t you have 18 kids? If you don’t go home and read one of them a book and stop worrying about what I’m doing.’ I’m just sayin’” She said Shaunie deserved every word she said about her. She doesn’t care what the other “wives” are doing, so it was surprising to her that they cared so much about what was going on in her life.

On her castmates

She said she doesn’t know what happened with the change in her castmates behavior. Evelyn went from crying all the time last season to becoming a “gangsta” this season. Jennifer is throwing her opinions every chance she gets. She says she thinks Evelyn picks on Suzy because she knows Suzy isn’t going to do anything. She said if Evelyn was to bring that crap to her it would be a totally different situation.

On what she’s doing outside of “Basketball Wives”

She’s working on a cook book. She’s president of Matt’s foundation so she’s been busy with that. She’s also thinking about starting a jewelry line.

First off i have much respect

First off i have much respect for Gloria... Why should she put her business out there if she chooses not to. If you watched the show you all would know that Gloria never said her and Matts relationship was perfect... As far as the wedding goes, so what it didnt happen.. Who cares. If it does it does, if it doesn't it doesn't. As far as Shaunie there is no reason for her to be mad at Gloria. If Shaq slept with Gloria's sister then thats 's on him and her not Gloria..You all know that you would not throw your own siter,mother,or brother under the bus. You may not agree with what there doing but its not up to you to share with the world what someone else did. If that was the case then Shaunie should of had Gloria sister on the show why not go straight to the source.

The other ladies were not

The other ladies were not worried about Gloria, Especially shaunie, Gloria is the one who kept saying they were jealous of her & her relationship with Matt, Now he called the wedding off, & he is beating her down, so of course the other ladies was going to say something to her, they couldnt wait to tell her off, acting like she wasnt a groupie & she didnt steal Matt from his real girl, & also acting like she had no flaws in her realtionship, thats why she got ambushed, she stupid, & she is still a groupie,

I think Gloria is in denial,

I think Gloria is in denial, sad she would let Matt do that to her, but the money and fame are worth more to her than her self respect. She is right though, Evelyn is so ugly inside as a person, hope Chad is not serious about marrying her. And Jennifer has turned into a bully too, she thinks she is better than everyone, so I can't stand her either. Please make this show go away!

I was hoping they would not

I was hoping they would not bring Gloria back for a 2nd season she is so fake. Gloria should have known that if her sister was cheating with a friend or an acquaintance husband and she was OKAY because she is not going to throw her sister under the bus, this was bound to happen to her relationship. She could have let your sister know it is WRONG. So she opened the door to say it's okay when people cheat and now your BOYFRIEND will give it to you good. He will always cheat because he knows she and her sister are NO GOOD and certainly not ladies

Someone else wrote Gloria

Someone else wrote Gloria knows her role and is sticking with her rich man and playing the game no matter what. I wholeheartidly agree. Her situation doesn't look particularly "ideal", but at least she's not clowning like the rest of them. Shaunie and her minions are looking like a bunch of bitter bitties. SMH :(

Glorious was the villain last time, but the rest of the ladies are rally showing their true colors this time around.

If shes gonna lie for him, she'll learn her lesson eventually. Shes just trying tio be happy.

Gloria and Laura Govan have

Gloria and Laura Govan have African American and Scottish heritage people. Neither one of them are Mexican I don't know where that came form. Gloria is not your classic money grubbing type of lady who only latched onto a baller for his money. She has known Matt Barnes since childhood and they have always had a close bond with one another.
