Ayesha Howard Shares Message About Well-Being

To be clear, in her message this week, Ayesha didn’t reveal WHO she thinks is stalking and harassing her, nor did she reveal which child’s safety she was concerned about. In addition to Aubri, Howard is also a mother to a son named Jason with rapper Lil Baby.

“We are being stalked and harassed sun up and down by a party that has already admitted to surveillancing my every move. I fear for me and my child’s life! Because at this point, what do you want,” her IG Stories post read.

What’s Going On Between The Mother & Anthony Edwards?

As mentioned, Ayesha Howard didn’t name-drop the alleged stalker harassing her. However, her message turned heads, given that she’s in the middle of a controversial child support battle with Anthony Edwards. The parents established his paternity of Aubri in December and are days away from another hearing in one of their child-related court cases.

Ayesha Howard filed a paternity lawsuit in Los Angeles, California, while he filed in Georgia. According to In Touch Weekly, Edwards clarified to the court that he’s only interested in settling the child support aspect. He reportedly has no interest in custody or visitation rights. This sentiment seemingly aligns with a previously circulating screenshot of his response to Ayesha Howard when she told him she was pregnant via text messages. He first told her to get an abortion, then dismissed her when she said she wouldn’t. In court, Ayesha claimed that he blocked her from communicating with her afterward and didn’t provide any support throughout her entire pregnancy.

Meanwhile, he claimed that she moved to L.A. shortly before giving birth so she could capitalize on higher child support. “Ayeshas conduct of manufacturing a false reality and using the parties child for financial gains should not be tolerated,” Edwards’ lawyer said in court. Ultimately, the California judge ruled that it didn’t have the jurisdiction to determine child support. This means how much coins he shells out could ultimately be up to the judge presiding over Edwards’ suit in Georgia.

Ayesha Howard and Anthony Edwards have another Los Angeles court hearing on March 20. During that time, the California court will decide whether to rule on visitation and custody.

Most recently, Ayesha defended Edwards when a viral video showed a mother refusing to buy her son his sneakers because of his parenting ways.
