Ayesha Howard Said THIS About “Gold Digger” Comments
Chile, Howard reminded folks to play with somebody else on Wednesday night. Speaking on Instagram Stories, Ayesha popped on camera to say that she tried not to react to “lies” about her. One, she didn’t want to get out of character, and two, she’d have to defend her daughter.
“Defending her of what’s been written, there’s no nice way to do it because people have been so ignorant and so cold-hearted towards a child,” Howard said.

Howard said that when politicians wanted to ban abortions, women came together and attended protests. All for the choice. Yet, with her choice to have her daughter, the energy is not the same. Mind you, Ayesha has also been criticized for viral text messages of Anthony Edwards telling her to get an abortion and her refusing to. Howard said she feels like she’s getting this “attention” because of who she’s affiliated with. Anthony for her daughter, but also Lil Baby, who is the father of her firstborn, Jason.
“The second a woman decides to make a decision about her body and her child, y’all turn into weirdos. Do you want a man to tell you what to do with your body or not? Do you want the right or not?”
Additonally, Ayesha Howard said she feels like she’ll never beat certain allegations from the internet. She said having kids with two successful men, being beautiful, and having a nice body has made her a target for “gold digger” attacks.
“There’s no telling you guys that I’m not a gold digger,” she said. “The only thing that irritates me is I read comments that say ‘Oh you’re a gold digger or you kept the baby for a check.’ What if I came to y’alls pages right and I compared the men that you have children with to the men that I have children with? And I said, ‘You were digging for poverty when you picked him to be your baby daddy weren’t you?’ ‘Oh you kept that baby for an extra income tax credit didn’t you? Or you kept that baby for a couple extra hundred dollars in food stamps didn’t you? Or you kept that baby for your a Section 8 voucher?'”
If that feels triggering, Ayesha said that’s how the gold digger comments and questions about loving her daughter feel.
What’s Going On With Ayesha & Anthony Edwards’ Court Case?
DNA testing confirmed that Aubri Summer Edwards is Anthony’s daughter last December. By February, Edwards made it clear he wasn’t interested in custody or visitation in Aubri’s life. However, he does want to settle his financial obligation. Dollar amounts have yet to be decided, as a judge still has to rule whether to consider the case in California, where Ayesha filed, or in Georgia, where Anthony filed.
On Tuesday, before slamming trolls, she gave an exclusive statement to The Shade Room about their case. At the time, she was shutting down a rumor about Edwards allegedly wanting to pay a lump sum of money for Aubri’s child support. Howard clarified that “no court documents, motions or proceedings have occurred” to back up the lump sum comments. She clarified that she hasn’t received any terms like that to agree to.
Anthony Edwards Also Involved In ANOTHER Paternity Suit
Ayesha Howard isn’t the only co-parent Anthony Edwards is taking to court. On March 21, the NBA player reportedly filed a paternity and child support suit against Alexandria Desroches over their alleged one-year-old son Amir. It appears Anthony Edwards wants a Georgia judge to rule on the case. He claims Georgia is where their interactions happened.
