"Basketball Wives: L.A." Cast Member Laura Govan Talks About Alleged Affair With Shaq, Her Relationship With Gilbert Arenas And Her Reasons For Doing The Show

What do you hope this show will show viewers about you?

I think it’s really going to reveal who I am. You know, TV is TV. They can edit and say what they want, whatever juice they have, they’ll put out there. …It was like therapy. I just got to get sh-t off my chest and actually talk about some things I want to talk about and really give you who I am, which is I’m funny, I’m hella’ cute in person, girl. I know they be killing me talking about, ‘She looks busted.’ Man, f-ck you! I look good in person. (Laughs) For me, I’m just having a good time. I’m loving and living life right now with my kids. Like, we’re having the best time ever.

We’re not gonna lie. She does seem funny. And also, we know not everyone is all that photogenic. Right Meeka?

And because a lot of fans want to know…did you sleep with Shaq?

Hell no! Have you seen his feet? How you gon’ sleep with somebody who has feet like that? Like, I’ve seen him in his sandals. I love Shaquille to death but I would never get down with Shaquille. I know him that’s why it’s hard for me… I think it’s funny. I can never say no with a straight face because that’s absolutely hilarious. And it’s funny because I feel like when I’ve seen him or been around him, we just have a good time. We’re like brother and sister. And if you don’t pick up on that dynamic then…

I just think that Shaunie [O’Neal] had her own agenda and did things for the show. And it is what it is. But at this point, three years later, I don’t want to talk about him. Talk about somebody else. Talk about somebody I actually like.

The stuff about the feet is Pure Comedy, and we don’t even want to think about what Shaq’s feet look like up close, but we’re pretty sure Shaunie STILL doesn’t think the idea of Shaq chopping down Laura is hilarious. Do you believe her? We mean, it’s not like she’s gonna say “Yeah, I made a mistake and cheated on my man with my friends man — riiiiiight?

Well yes, is there anyone in your life that you’re dating?

Not yet. Not yet. It might be Gilbert girl, who knows now? I’m not sure…I mean, I do still like the ni**a. …We’re doing good though. He and I are in a good space right now.

Well that’s good to hear. Now who thinks Laura will actually someday become a real basketball “wife”???
