Draya Michele has caught a lot of flack from the general public over rumors that she's abandoned her son to pursue fame and fortune. The "Basketball Wives" star spoke to Bossip about the allegations and denied them flatly.

"Me and my son is always a topic of people's discussion," she said. "Basically I'm not around as much as i should be because i"m working. I'm the provider for my family and people don't understand that."

"Also, people always want to take to Twitter and say 'How come you don't talk about your son on Twitter?' I don't talk about him on Twitter because its so personal," she added. "Every time I mention my son, people have negative things to say back to me so I just like to keep him separate. My son doesn't read Twitter, I don't let him watch 'Basketball Wives' and I don't let him look at my sexy magazines."
