Latest Shocking Entertainment News: NBA Star Anthony Edwards Accuses Ex of Demanding $500k and a Public Apology
Anthony Edwards’ ex Ayesha Howard allegedly demanded $500,000 and a public apology from the NBA star in their court battle, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
Edwards, 24, claimed in court documents filed on Wednesday, August 6 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard claimed Howard, 38, has failed to execute paperwork granting her sole legal and physical custody of their daughter Aubri, born in October 2024.
The court awarded Howard sole custody and told the parties to put it all in an agreement on May 20.
Edwards and Howard have been unable to do so. Howard claimed Edwards’ team sent her an agreement that added a provision that would prevent her from disparaging the basketball player publicly. The deal also said she could not post photos of their daughter. She claimed she never agreed to those terms.
In the new motion, Edwards’ team said they eventually removed the provision but now Howard demanded additional items.
The NBA All-Star said his ex demanded a public apology from him that was required to be posted “on all of his official social media platforms, publicly retracting all false and defamatory or misleading statements made about her during” the court battle and “affirming her integrity and her role as a mother of their daughter.”

Edwards claimed his ex also demanded an “exorbitant” $500,000 in damages. The Georgia native’s team said Howard has refused to sign the paperwork without her demands.
In the motion, Edwards said he continues to rack up legal bills having to defend himself in court.
Howard tells Us, “I want to make it clear that my request for compensation was never tied to agreeing to any custody orders. I asked for compensation due to the substantial financial and reputational damages I’ve endured during this prolonged litigation with Anthony Edwards.”
As Us previously reported, after the birth of their daughter, the Edwards filed a paternity suit in Georgia and Howard filed a separate case in California. The exes went back and forth about where the case should be heard. Edwards claimed Howard only filed in Los Angeles in hopes of scoring a higher child support award.
In March 2025, a California judge sided with Edwards and determined that child support would not be set in California despite Howard’s plea. Howard has appealed the decision.

“As far as child support goes, I mean, as far as child custody goes, Anthony does not want anything to do with my child. He has expressed that. He has shown that. I haven’t seen him. [Aubri] hasn’t seen him — never. So, I mean, whether custody was honestly here or in Mars, I don’t think it would inconvenience him or matter at all,” she said. As Us previously reported, Howard submitted alleged text messages sent by Edwards after she informed him of their pregnancy into evidence.
Edwards is also in the middle of a separate custody battle involving another woman at the moment.
