DRAMA: NBA Star Jalen Green & Actress Draya Michele EXPLODE In Public At Fashion Week … Friends Had To Pull Them Apart!
Whew, chile … New York Fashion Week got a little too real on Thursday night. Media Take Out learned that Phoenix Suns star Jalen Green, 23, and his actress girlfriend Draya Michele, 40, got into a furious argument outside a glitzy afterparty — and it nearly turned physical before friends jumped in.
2AM STREET FIGHT
The drama went down around 2am outside The Manor Hotel in SoHo, following Mert Alas’ annual NYFW bash, where A-listers like Dakota Johnson, Salma Hayek, and Colman Domingo were spotted.
In video clips now circulating online, Green can be seen shouting at Draya before she tries to rush him on the sidewalk. Friends immediately step in, holding Draya back as she yells at her boyfriend of two years. One desperate friend can be heard shouting, “Stop, stop, stop … everybody going to get into trouble.” Another voice pleads, “Everybody forgive each other!”
Despite the intervention, the couple reportedly kept trading insults as they walked the streets of Manhattan in the early hours of Friday morning.
THE AGE-GAP TEA
Let’s not forget — this couple already made headlines for their 17-year age gap. Draya, who first rose to fame on Basketball Wives LA, has a son just one year younger than Jalen. The relationship sparked gossip from day one, but the pair seemed to brush off the noise, especially after welcoming a daughter together in May 2024.
Draya also shares a nine-year-old son, Jru, with her ex-fiancé, NFL star Orlando Scandrick.
BACK TO MOM DUTIES
Hours after the fight, Draya was back on Instagram in full mommy mode, posting a video of her baby girl exploring Lower Manhattan with the caption: “Baby in the Big Apple.” Noticeably absent? Jalen Green.
A LOT ON THEIR PLATE
This blow-up comes after a big life change for the couple. Earlier this year, Green was traded from the Houston Rockets to the Phoenix Suns in the blockbuster Kevin Durant deal. Draya admitted in interviews that the transition has been stressful, but said she’s been focused on making things “smooth and convenient” for her man so he can concentrate on basketball.
Now, after this Fashion Week mess, fans are wondering if the cracks in their relationship are starting to show.
