Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas reveals how he swapped his ex's $40K engagement ring with a fake

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”
