During Saturday’s episode of Iyanla: Fix My Life, Laura Govan reiterated the rumor that her sister, Gloria, had been messing around with her ex, Gilbert Arenas, during their on-and-off-again relationship.
“We started dating and it was great, and then I introduced him to my family and in a short period of time it went south, real fast,” Govan said. “I believe that he shared a relationship with my sister.”
However, the rest of Govan’s family isn’t convinced, with her mother in particular telling Iyanla, “I don’t believe it.”
During the episode, Govan opened up not only about the supposed betrayal by her sister but also her belief that many of her problems stemmed from the fact that her father had not been a constant presence in her life.
In particular, she said that she had been sexually assaulted in her childhood by someone that her family knew, but he did not believe her when she spoke up about it.
“My life hurts with the men that I’ve had in my life: my father [and] my ex,” the Basketball Wives star told Iyanla.
