Sheriff Summons Draya Michele and Tyrod Taylor’s Battle Over Home

Draya Michele rushed to court days after sheriffs came to her LA home and tried to lock her out as she continues to battle her ex. Tyrod Taylor over the property, In contact can only report.

According to court documents obtained by In contactDraya, 39, revealed that officers came to her Chatsworth, Calif., home on Nov. 20, about a week before Thanksgiving.

Draya said she received an “alarming phone call from her children’s nanny while she was away on business that the sheriffs were at the property in question to lock the occupants out of the property in question.”

Draya said she quickly called her attorney, who drove over to the home to stop the sheriffs and prevent the lockout.

The model said that’s when she learned that Tyrod’s company had filed an eviction lawsuit against her that she wasn’t aware of. She said a default judgment had been entered in the case.

Draya said she was never served with the paperwork, nor did Tyrod, 35, or his legal team inform her of the case, even though they were actively litigating each other in a case filed by Draya.

Tyrod was reportedly given permission to serve Draya by mail from the court, suggesting he broke no law. Draya claims she did not receive any documents via mail

Seam In contact first reported earlier this year, Draya filed a lawsuit asking a judge to force the NFL star to follow through on an agreement to sell her a home he bought.

Draya claimed that Tyrod bought the house in August 2022 when they were dating. She said he bought the property for her and her children. She said the agreement was that she would pay him monthly rent.

In addition, she said he agreed to let her buy the home from him between November 2023 and November 2025.

The model said she offered to buy the home for $2.8 million in October 2023. Draya claimed Tyrod countered with $3.2 million. Draya said she accepted the offer. She continued to pay rent of $19,000 a month and spent $270,000 on home improvements. Draya said that despite their agreement, Tyrod backed out of the deal and refused to sell her the house.

Tyrod denied all allegations of wrongdoing. His attorney said Draya had provided an “unsigned lease, an unsigned purchase agreement and emails that testify to most of the negotiations regarding the possible purchase of the property in question.”

Tyrod and his company argued that there was never a final agreement in place and therefore no agreement to enforce.

At a recent hearing, Draya suffered a setback in the case. The court ruled that the counteroffer lapsed when Draya accepted it. Therefore, the judge said the contract was unenforceable.

However, the judge said Draya could go after Tyrod for the $270,000 she spent on home improvements.

The court also allowed Draya to amend her lawsuit to try to revive any of the claims the court dismissed, and allowed her to pursue some other legal theories related to the case that she originally pleaded.

Draya filed an amended complaint days later. Tyrod and his company have yet to respond to the amended complaint. Despite the case being ongoing, Draya claims the sheriffs showed up last week.

She is asking the court to consolidate the eviction case and her lawsuit. Tyrod has yet to respond.
