Royce Reed Speaks Out Amid Child Abuse Case Drama With Dwight Howard 'Was Not Closed'
According to TMZ Tuesday, Reed is livid that a judge threw out a child abuse case against Howard concerning their seven-year-old son. Howard allegedly hit the child with a belt buckle. Reed is not happy and an insider told the entertainment news site, "She's extremely upset by the way the system neglected to defend her son."
She never asked for Dwight to be arrested. She asked for him to get help and take parenting classes. Her child is terrified of his father."

A member of Howard's legal team actually did speak to the site as well and defended the athlete.
"Several law enforcement agencies have thoroughly investigated the allegations and all decided against filing charges. It is sad that Royce Reed continues to use her son as a pawn with the media, despite court orders prohibiting her from doing so."
Aside from the child abuse case, Reed seems to have moved and showed off her new beau on Instagram this past Monday. She labeled him her second #ManCrushMonday, coming in after her son Braylon.
The former reality star included the caption, "#MCM #2 Duh lol Him..."
Reed starred in the first season of the Basketball Wives franchise that took place in Miami. She walked away from the series after the fourth season.
