Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas reveals he swapped his ex's $400,000 engagement ring with a fake
Arenas: “I paid $395,000 or $495,000. It was up there. It was a big stone in the middle and then had three stones on a side”
Vlad: “So you ended up getting a fake version of that. How much did that cost you?”
Arenas: “$10,000. So what happened was, when the proposal happened, it was around her birthday and we got in a fight eight days later and broke up. When we broke up, I'm like, ‘That was a fucking waste of money. I want my ring back’”
“I was like, ‘How do I get my ring back?’ Fuck it. I just gotta get her back. But when she comes back, imma have a fake one and I can switch it at any time”
“It was four months and then started playing house again. I always knew I could switch it at any time. Years later, I eventually switched it, put that one in the safety deposit, and then she just had the fake one”
Vlad: “When did she find out that the ring was fake?”
Arenas: “I think once we broke up and it was all said and done. She started really going at me in the media. I guess one of her friends, one of the married women, was basically telling her that you need full custody, he needs to be a danger, so you can put a restraining order on him. That whole little Hollywood bullshit”
“Once that started happening, me being the troll that I am, I took a picture, put the ring on it, and bop, posted it online. She probably went to go check it out and realized she had the fake one. From there a filing came in that I robbed her. Then she filed a lawsuit to get the ring back”
Vlad: “Did she win the ring lawsuit?”
Arenas: “No. Hell no”
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
@big_business_ If the OKC defense played against the OKC offense, the entire D would foul out in the first quarter.
Both sides get a completely different whistle than the rest of the league.
