Draya Michele rushed to court days after the sheriffs came to her L.A. home and tried to lock her out, as she continues to battle her ex Tyrod Taylor over the property, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Draya, 39, revealed officers came to her Chatsworth, California, home on November 20, about a week before Thanksgiving.
Draya said 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 quickly called her lawyer who drove over to the home to stop the sheriffs and prevent the lockout.
The model said this is when she learned that Tyrod’s company had filed an eviction lawsuit against her that she was unaware of. She said a default judgment had been entered in the case.
Draya said she was never served with the paperwork, nor did Tyrod, 35, or his legal team inform her of the case, despite them actively being in litigation against each other in a case brought by Draya.
Tyrod allegedly got permission to serve Draya via mail from the court, which would suggest he did not violate any law. Draya claims she did not receive any documents via mail
As In Touch first reported, earlier this year, Draya filed a lawsuit that asked a judge to force the NFL star to follow through on an agreement to sell her a home he bought.
Draya claimed Tyrod bought the home in August 2022 when they were dating. She said he bought the property for her and her children. She said the deal was she would pay him monthly rent.
Additionally, she said he agreed to let her purchase the home from him between November 2023 to November 2025.
The model said she offered to buy the home for $2.8 million in October 2023. Draya claimed Tyrod countered with $3.2 million. Draya said she accepted that offer. She continued paying rent of $19,000 a month and spent $270,000 on home improvements. Draya said that, despite their agreement, Tyrod was backing out of the deal and refusing to sell her the home.
Tyrod denied all allegations of wrongdoing. His lawyer said Draya had presented an ”unsigned lease, an unsigned purchase agreement, and emails evidencing at most negotiations for the possible purchase of the subject property.”
Tyrod and his company argued there was never a final deal in place and therefore there was no deal to enforce.
At a recent hearing, Draya suffered a setback in the case. The court ruled that the counteroffer had lapsed by the time Draya accepted it. Therefore, the judge said the contract was unenforceable.
However, the judge said Draya could go after Tyrod for the $270,000 she spent on home improvements.
The court also allowed Draya to amend her lawsuit to try to revive any of the claims the court dismissed, and allowed her to pursue some other legal theories related to the case that she originally pled.
Draya filed an amended complaint days later. Tyrod and his company have yet to respond to the amended complaint. Despite the case being ongoing, Draya claims the sheriffs showed up last week.
She’s asking the court to consolidate the eviction case and her lawsuit. Tyrod has yet to respond.
