Most of the hits were from people who wanted basic information on her. While other were inquiring about who is the father of her child, her arrest, and her modeling photos.
Kind of crazy.
It's a large amount of inquiries for a person who virtually appeared on the scene a few months ago.
I think the fascination over the stripper turned reality star has everything to do with her being cast in Basketball Wives LA and being charged with a child neglect case.
Here's the thing though.
Whether you like her or not.
She is getting more press than the other Basketball Wives LA. It's like the more hated she becomes on the show, the more popular her name is on the Web.
Word on the Web is that her child's father is a drug dealer and/or is locked up in prison. Her mother helped raise her son. She was a stripper at a club in Philadelphia too.
So, she hasn't exactly been living the life of a 'Huxtable Kid' from The Cosby Show.
Not sure how she is handling all the shade being thrown at her, but I imagine it can't be easy.
Now.
I am not saying that she didn't deserve the ridicule she received for neglecting her son. Because any mother who neglects their child deserves it.
Period.
But what I am saying?
At the end of the day, she is still a human being who makes mistakes. Just like everyone else.
She just made a really bad one.
Not to mention, being linked to the likes of Chris Brown who beat up Rihanna did not help her situation.
I've been watching Basketball Wives LA religiously and there were two specific episodes that struck a cord for me.
In one episode, one of the Basketball 'Ex-Fiances' meets with Draya to reveal that she knows about her child neglect case. Then Draya basically denied the allegations of her son being taken away from her.
Now.
There's a gray area here. Because I do not believe she denied being arrested for the charges. She only denied her son being taken away from her - meaning her son was back in her physical custody.
But who knows what was really said before editing on the show?
It appeared as though the Basketball Ex-Fiance believed what Draya told her though. Which is that the arrest allegations were not true. The report made about her arrest was a lie. They were trying to paint a bad picture of her because of her connection to Chris Brown...yada yada.
But nothing from the report was a lie.
She was arrested and her son was removed from her custody temporarily.
In another episode, the women were at what appeared to be a therapy session called a Passion Party, and each one of them had to pick a word to describe each other.
And well, one of the Basketball Wives (who has a laundry list of issues over her ex-fiance) used the word "worthless" to describe Draya.
I was shocked when I heard that word. Then the camera focused in on the look on Draya's face.
Sista Girl put on a good front! But I don't care what anyone says, her feelings had to be hurt.
The look on her face said it all.
I thought it was heartless. Ugly. Uncalled for. Nasty. Hurtful. Just completely out of line to say that!
I don't believe anyone has the right to tell another human being they are worthless.
It's one thing to call someone out their name. Tell someone they are 'acting' a way.
But to tell someone they are less than their worth? Is wrong on so many different levels!
I made quite a few comments about her child neglect case, like I am sure many people did as well.
But at no point, should any of us being judging her worth!
No. She hasn't been well suited to have a baby, just like many other women who have no business birthing children.
And, no. She probably shouldn't have custody of her son either.
But she does have custody of him, and she obviously isn't the best mother. But she is still his mother at the end of the day. She's young. Troubled. Flawed even.
But worthless?
Um, no.
That's taking it too far.
Even the most hated woman in the country, Casey Anthony, isn't worthless.
She's just one terrible individual who will pay for actions for the rest of her life. So. Everyone should leave that one alone too.
My personal take on Draya?
She's ghetto. Arrogant. Extremely guarded. Not a bad person. Puts up a good front like she doesn't care what anyone says. Appears intimidated. Seems to have a few groupie tendencies, but not a lot. Doesn't appear as thirsty for the lime light as I originally thought. Acts a lot younger than 25 too. But then again, maybe I am just old? Hmm. Because I really don't remember how you act at 25 anymore.
But regardless of what any of us think, she has become quite the household name.
And, well.
We all know how scandals and reality shows worked out for Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
Just saying.
