[OPINION] Reality Star Draya Michele gets Dragged: The reality star comes under fire for questionable parenting

While on the phone, former reality star Draya Michele buys a bottle of champagne at the grocery store with son Kniko following closely behind.

Draya is a cultural icon.

She has inspired millions with her quick-witted quips and provided comedic gold for generations, all while keeping the family afloat and the kids in check.

For not one, but all of us have been asked, “Do you have McDonald’s money?” and quickly reminded that “we have food at home.”

Above all, she never let us forget that she was NOT one of our little friends.

We’ve all gotten a quick pop at the grocery store and been told to fix our face before we really get somethin’ to cry about. And more or less, we all came out okay.

So why, when she asserted her right as a fellow black mama, did Draya Michelle get dragged across the interwebs?

Last week, the former Basketball Wives star posed a question to her 6.3 million Instagram followers concerning a situation with her son. In response, she received the Breakfast Club’s infamous Donkey of the Day and a resounding clapback from, well, everybody and they mama.

In case you’re not one of the 6.3 million, here’s the rundown:

Kniko, Draya’s 14-year-old son, was assigned a speech to memorize for class, which he was to recite every day and get signed as proof. According to Draya’s post, she has signed the paper 18 times, heard the speech at least twice daily for a month, and is about to memorize it herself.

Apparently, the 19th time was the last straw for Draya, who flat-out refused to sign the paper anymore. The former reality star instructed him to tell his teacher that she was“done with this,” because in her eyes, “this is not her damn homework.”

But it didn’t matter whose assignment it was; Twitter would hear none of it.

Per usual, the gifs and memes were as merciless as they were hilarious, trying everything from her “draining” career as an IG socialite to her parenting skills.

The post has since been deleted; all that remains is the dust that the Twitter vultures left her for.

Granted, it’s not the best look to complain about your mom duties to millions of strangers online, but those not so pretty moments are also the reality of motherhood. It’s not always Blu Ivy courtside cameos and Riley Curry hijacked press conferences- it’s messy, tiring, and sometimes a thankless job.

So maybe next time, she should call up a friend and privately vent. And maybe, next time we’d all do well to remember the times our moms showed us a little tough love after a long day.

Because she may have said no to more Happy Meals than you can count, but she’s always the first one to fix you a plate.

And plus, while ya’ll worried about Draya signing homework, some of ya’ll signing OSS slips– but I digress.
