Former New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor is facing a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend over alleged threats to evict her from a home they shared. The lawsuit stems from their breakup after dating for a year, with model Draya Michele claiming that Taylor threatened to sell the Los Angeles home they agreed she would pay $3.2 million for in January, contributing an additional $300,000 for renovations.
According to court documents cited by TMZ, Michele stated that during their relationship, they had an agreement that her financial contributions towards the home would be deducted from the $3.2 million payment. Taylor had allowed Michele and her children to reside in the property, but now she claims he is trying to kick her out and sell the house.
Michele is suing Taylor for breach of contract, alleging that he is not upholding their agreement regarding the home. The couple had a long-distance relationship while Taylor played for the New York Giants, and Michele lived in California. Despite their split, Michele has moved on and is now dating Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green, with whom she recently welcomed a daughter.
In the midst of these legal troubles, Taylor has signed a deal with the New York Jets to serve as a backup to Aaron Rodgers for the next two years. Throughout his career, Taylor has played for multiple teams, including the Ravens, Chargers, Browns, and Texans, with a Pro Bowl appearance in 2015 during his time with the Buffalo Bills.
With a career completion percentage of 61.7, Taylor has amassed 12,135 passing yards, 65 touchdowns, and 39 interceptions. Additionally, he has rushed for 2,268 yards and scored 19 touchdowns on the ground. As this legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will impact Taylor’s future with the Jets and his professional football career overall. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
