Dwight Howard Pops Out As Son Braylon Reacts To Amy Luciani

Dwight Howard was all smiles at an NBA game despite his brewing family drama that unfolded on social media. As previously reported, Amy Luciani accused her husband of coaching his son to lie to Child Protective Services (CPS), allegedly triggering the removal of her daughter from their home. After Amy’s emotional video plea went viral, Dwight’s ex, Royce Reed, hopped online with “I told you so” energy. Soon after, Royce and Dwight’s son, Braylon Howard, weighed in.

Braylon Howard Hopes His Dad Is Getting Help

As mentioned, Amy Luciani triggered responses from Royce Reed and Braylon after accusing Dwight of struggling with drug addiction and lying to CPS by forcing his 12-year-old to create a fake alibi. She went as far as showing a clear bag and a small silver vial allegedly filled with cocaine in her video. It’s unclear why CPS removed the girl from the home or what lie Dwight’s son was allegedly forced to tell.

Braylon Howard chimed in after his mother seemed to shade Amy Luciani for previously calling her crazy and jealous. On Instagram Story, Braylon shared a written post that said, “I told y’all.” Meanwhile, in a video on Sunday (March 8), he repeated his “I told y’all” comment and affirmed that his mother also gave warnings.

“But my momma crazy, my side of the family crazy, I’m crazy, my brother crazy, my sister crazy…I hope you getting the help you need, but I told y’all. My momma did too, especially. But it gets to a point you gotta learn to deal with certain things as you get older…that’s something right there I would never do…but you got it.”

Braylon also captioned that video, writing, “I rz hope yu gettin da help yu need dad but dis other stuff you doin gotta stop.” 

Dwight Howard Appears Unbothered At NBA Game

Despite the drug and CPS-related accusations, Dwight Howard has not moved to clear the air. Instead, a video shows the NBA retiree grinning and waving at the Lakers vs. Knicks game on Sunday (March 8). He appeared to attend the game on his own at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Amy has gone silent on Instagram.

Recap Of Amy Luciani’s Allegations

For context, Howard has five children, including Braylon, by five different women whom he welcomed between 2007 and 2013. One son, David, has been living with him since 2020 after the child’s mother died from an epileptic seizure, per PEOPLE. David and his brother, Dwight III, were both born in the same year, making them both 12. Dwight Howard also has two daughters, Layla and Jayde, who were both born in 2010. David is the child involved in allegedly lying to CPS, and Layla is the child who CPS removed from the baller’s home. In her now-deleted post, Amy claimed that because of Dwight CPS has been to their home three times in less than two months.

“I have personally had to call the police on him 3 times in a barely 14 month marriage. Every one around me told me you made a commitment though sickness and health and that played with my mind after I filed for divorce at 6 months. I came back because honestly I tried to listen to the married people around me who said it was too soon to walk away. But now. Look what I’ve gotten myself into.”
