“He Was Always Like This!” Anthony Edwards’ Ex Ayesha Howard Breaks Silence After His Bizarre Public Pursuit of Turkish Star Simay Naz Öget Goes Viral, Reigniting Explosive Allegations of Drones, Stalking, Lies & Four Secret Babies in 14 Months
1. A New Scandal Ignites an Old Firestorm
If there is one NBA star who has mastered the art of going viral for reasons completely unrelated to basketball, it is Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards. For the past month, social media has been flooded with memes, edits, and reactions to Edwards’ very public fascination with Turkish basketball sensation Simay Naz Öget whose historic 69 point explosion instantly turned her into a global name. But while fans were laughing, flirting in the comments, or calling Ant “down bad,” someone who knew him far more intimately was having an entirely different reaction: Ayesha Howard, his ex and the mother of his daughter, Aubri.
Howard, who has legally battled Edwards for nearly two years, did not remain silent. Not this time. Not after watching him publicly chase another woman while their unresolved history STILL had a trail of unanswered accusations, court documents, and disturbing claims. Instead, like a match returning to a gasoline-soaked room, Anthony Edwards’ new viral “crush moment” was enough to reignite a scandal the NBA had tried to bury months ago a scandal involving private investigators, drone surveillance, alleged lies, intimidation tactics, and a messy custody war that painted a very different picture of the charismatic superstar the world sees.
For millions of fans, this was simply another funny NBA moment. But for Ayesha Howard, it was the final straw the moment she felt compelled to revisit everything she endured and everything she claimed the public still didn’t know.
And this time, she wasn’t sugarcoating anything.
2. Anthony Edwards’ “Down Bad Era” And Why This Time It Hit Different
Edwards’ obsession with Turkish scoring machine Simay Naz Öget began harmlessly enough. After learning about her 69 point performance, Ant did what many NBA players do when they see a woman they’re attracted to he started liking photos, commenting, following, and reportedly messaging her. Fans called it “flirting.” Others called it “simping.” Some joked that Edwards was ready to buy a one way ticket to Istanbul.
But then things escalated.
He mentioned her repeatedly.
He joked about her on livestreams.
He reposted highlights of her games.
He talked about wanting to “meet her” in a way that felt far more personal than playful.
And while fans were enjoying the show, Howard saw something else entirely:
A pattern.
A pattern she had allegedly lived through before.
A pattern she once said “ruined her sense of safety.”
A pattern she claimed involved surveillance, manipulation, and intrusive behavior disguised as attention.
To fans, Edwards was being funny.
To Howard, he was being Anthony.
And that difference is what reopened every wound she thought she buried.
3. The Explosive Court Documents That Never Truly Went Away
Back in October 2025, Us Weekly published a bombshell report detailing allegations made by Howard in court filings. For weeks, those documents dominated headlines:
Private investigators.
Drone surveillance hovering outside windows.
Home cameras catching unidentified devices.
A pattern of intimidation.
Four children with four women in 14 months.
False claims about her working at a strip club.
The story sounded too wild to be real but the filings existed. Howard insisted she had video evidence, timestamps, neighbor testimonies, and professional confirmation that surveillance had occurred in both California and Georgia. She said Edwards “confessed” to some level of surveillance during legal discussions, though his representatives insisted it was exaggerated.
The public reaction was swift, intense, and chaotic until it wasn’t.
Like every NBA scandal, it faded.
People forgot. The season moved on.
The league did not comment.
Edwards denied wrongdoing.
Fans were distracted by the next drama.
But for Howard, nothing was resolved. Not legally. Not emotionally. Not personally.
And so when Edwards began publicly chasing a Turkish basketball player while he and Howard still had ongoing disputes the déjà vu hit hard.
Suddenly, the old story felt new again and this time, the world was ready for the sequel.
4. “He Was Always Like This” Ayesha Howard’s New Reaction to Ant’s Viral Obsession
Within hours of Edwards trending for Simay Naz Öget, people began tagging Howard.
Memes popped up.
Old screenshots resurfaced.
TikTok creators revived the drone story.
The comments exploded:
“Isn’t this the guy who used drones on his ex??”
“Not him stalking another woman now lmao.”
“Ayesha tried to warn y’all.”
“Of course he’s obsessed, that’s his pattern.”
And after days of silence, Howard finally responded not with anger, but with chilling clarity.
She didn’t insult Simay.
She didn’t call Edwards names.
She didn’t make jokes.
Instead, she allegedly said something far more powerful:
“Nothing surprises me anymore.”
Five words. Enough to reopen the entire case.
According to sources close to Howard, she has been “emotionally triggered” by the renewed attention on Edwards’ behavior. For her, this wasn’t a funny storyline it was a reminder of her lived reality, one she claims involved:
- Being watched without consent
- Feeling unsafe in her own home
- Raising a child alone
- Having her reputation attacked using false claims
- Being painted as “money hungry” while Edwards allegedly fathered four children elsewhere
- Being treated like an enemy instead of a co-parent
One source allegedly said:
“Every time he obsesses over a new woman publicly, she relives what she went through privately.”
And this time, her response carried a new message:
Anthony hasn’t changed.
5. A Timeline of Chaos: From Their First Baby Photo to Drone Surveillance Accusations
To understand the magnitude of this renewed scandal, it’s important to see the timeline of events that led to the breaking point.
2019–2021: The Beginning
Howard and Edwards met long before he became an NBA superstar. She was older, more experienced, and reportedly believed Edwards’ affection was sincere. At the time, he was young, charismatic, and still growing into fame. According to Howard, their relationship was intense but complicated.
October 2023: Their Daughter, Aubri, Is Born
This was the moment Howard hoped would settle things. A new chapter. A fresh start. But instead, it was the beginning of their most turbulent period.
2024: Relationship Breakdown
Edwards allegedly distanced himself emotionally and physically. Howard claimed he was inconsistent, unreliable, and surrounded by new love interests.
2024–2025: The “Four Kids in 14 Months” Era
Howard asserted that Edwards fathered four children with four different women in a shockingly short span. This was the core of her argument that she never “trapped him” because clearly, she was not his only entanglement.
2025: Child Support Battle
Edwards insisted the case be heard in Georgia. Howard insisted she lived in California.
Courts disagreed, then changed position.
This war is still ongoing.
October 2025: Surveillance Allegations Go Public
The moment EVERYTHING changed.
Howard’s claims of drones and private investigators ignited the NBA world.
December 2025: Simay Naz Öget Enters the Chat
Edwards becomes publicly obsessed with a Turkish star.
The internet makes it a comedy storyline.
Howard sees it as validation of everything she tried to warn the world about.
And now?
We are in the chapter where the past returns to life louder and more dangerous than before.
6. Why Edwards’ Simay Naz Fascination Reopened the Trauma
Most fans don’t understand why this story is hitting so hard for Howard.
It’s not because Edwards likes another woman.
It’s because of how he is acting.
The intensity.
The fixation.
The persistence.
The public pursuit.
The inability to read boundaries.
The pressure.
The impulsivity.
These behaviors are extremely familiar to Howard, who once said:
“He doesn’t understand limits. Not with money. Not with women. Not with power.”
When Edwards went viral for Simay, the entire world laughed except the one woman who once claimed she lived through the darker side of that same behavior.
Her silence ended.
Her memories resurfaced.
Her fears returned.
And suddenly, the drone story wasn’t old anymore
It was relevant.
It was chilling.
And to many?
It was a warning.
7. The Public’s Reaction: From Joke to Concern
At first, fans joked:
“Ant is down bad.”
“He’s flying to Turkey tomorrow.”
“Bro is ready to marry her.”
But after Howard’s subtle response, the tone shifted.
Now people are saying:
“Wait, this looks obsessive.”
“Does he always act like this with women?”
“Ayesha was trying to warn us.”
“This isn’t funny anymore.”
“Something seems off.”
Social media is unpredictable, but it rarely changes tone without reason. This time, public conversation is moving toward:
- Concern for Howard
- Concern for Simay
- Concern for Edwards’ emotional stability
- Concern for what fame, money, and pressure have turned him into
People are finally revisiting the old Us Weekly investigation and realizing:
Howard wasn’t lying.
The pattern is real.
The behavior is repeating.
8. What This Means for Simay Naz Öget
Simay is innocent in all of this. She has done nothing but play basketball, dominate the court, and become a sensation in Turkey. She never asked for NBA drama. She never asked for romantic speculation. She never asked for an NBA superstar to publicly chase her.
But fame has a dark side especially when it involves someone with a complicated past.
Fans in Turkey are already expressing concern, saying:
“Please don’t bring NBA drama here.”
“Simay deserves peace.”
“Why is this man fixating on her?”
“Protect the queen!”
Simay has not responded publicly.
Wise.
Very wise.
9. Ayesha’s New Fear: “History Repeating Itself But With a New Victim”
For Howard, the fear isn’t jealousy.
It’s safety.
She allegedly told a friend:
“I don’t care who he dates. I care about how far he goes.”
That sentence alone explains everything.
This isn’t romantic drama.
This is emotional trauma resurfacing.
This is a mother protecting her child.
This is a woman who feels she was not believed before finally watching the world connect the dots.
Howard’s stance is not “He shouldn’t like other women.”
Her stance is:
“He should not cross boundaries.”
Because according to her, he has before.
10. The Legacy Edwards Risks If This Spiral Continues
Anthony Edwards is a superstar. A franchise player. A face of the league.
But scandals like this especially if patterns are confirmed can derail careers:
- Sponsorship losses
- Brand damage
- Legal complications
- Public backlash
- NBA investigation
- Media pressure
- Team embarrassment
This isn’t the kind of drama a rising global icon can afford.
Yet Edwards seems unaware of how dangerous this new spotlight is for him.
11. The Final Question: Is Anthony Edwards Just “Down Bad” or Actually Out of Control?
Historically, the NBA has given players room to be goofy, flirtatious, and dramatic online. But this story isn’t about memes. It’s about:
Boundaries.
Accountability.
Patterns.
Power.
Control.
Behavior repeating itself.
Howard’s new subtle reaction did not need to be long.
It only needed to be true.
“Nothing surprises me anymore.”
Those five words told the entire story.
Because when the past looks exactly like the present, the future becomes predictable.
And right now, the future between Anthony Edwards and Ayesha Howard is looking more explosive than ever.
12. Conclusion: A Story the NBA Must Finally Address
Anthony Edwards is one of the most electrifying athletes of his generation.
But he is also a young man navigating fame, desire, and personal chaos with no brakes attached.
Ayesha Howard is not trying to destroy him.
She is trying to protect herself.
And perhaps protect others indirectly.
Simay Naz Öget did nothing wrong she simply became the newest trigger in a long unresolved cycle.
What happens next depends on:
- The courts
- The Timberwolves
- The NBA
- Edwards’ own ability to self reflect
But for the first time, the public sees what Howard has been saying all along:
This is not new.
This is not random.
This is a pattern.
And patterns, once exposed, cannot be ignored.
