Dancer Royce Reed has recently made accusations against her ex-partner Dwight Howard, who is now engaged to Amy Luciani, a social media personality. Reed accused Howard, a former NBA player, of emotional abuse among other allegations.
Royce Reed is also the mother of Howard’s eldest son, Braylon Joshua Howard. She took to her Instagram on December 29, 2024, and shared multiple videos detailing the allegations. However, the same day, Amy Luciani shared an Instagram carousel with photos of her on a flight with Dwight Howard. Her post was captioned:
“After all that … still Committed.”
The second photo in the carousel had the words:
“So private I could be at my own wedding and post a pic of the sky.”
In her Instagram post, Luciani also thanked everyone for the positive messages she has received. She hopes that 2025 will bring life-changing and unexpected blessings to everyone. However, some netizens looked beyond her positive comments. One Instagram user wrote:
“Not her thinking this is a flex.”
While some netizens claimed Amy Luciani and Dwight Howard’s relationship would be a trainwreck, others speculated she would call him out soon.
“ima bookmark this & come back 1 year from now.”
“Yall Leave Her Alone. She’ll Be Posting “Please Respect My Privacy At This Time” Real Soon.”
“This is like watching a train wreck abt to happen…like u know it’s abt to happen but u can’t stop it n u can’t look away!”
Many Instagram users expressed their love for Amy Luciani while criticizing her for settling down.
“Girl he is NOT the prize but go off sis.”
“I love Amy down.. But it seem like she’ll settle for anything and anybody!”
“Everyone has a man, she just didn't wanna be left out, so she settled.”
What did Royce Reed say about her ex-partner and Amy Luciani’s fiancé Dwight Howard?
Royce Reed shared four Instagram videos to put across her narrative. She said she felt compelled to share her story due to recent occurrences involving lies, fabrications, false accusations, threats, etc. Reed explained the situation using the metaphors of ant and elephant and said the only way for an ant to eat an elephant is "bite, bite, bite."
In the second post, Royce Reed explained how her life changed from July 31, 2004 till now because she had a baby with Dwight Howard, nicknamed Superman. She stated their relationship started during her time as a dancer for Howard's team.
After reconciling following the basketball player’s infidelity, Royce Reed became pregnant. She alleged Howard initially supported her decision to terminate the pregnancy but was not around when the time came.
Royce Reed claimed Dwight Howard resisted connecting with the child, and he changed in 2008. He'd offer gifts like a car and phone, and proposed buying her a house under his name. Reed declined the offers and alleged their co-parenting relationship turned abusive, involving verbal, physical, and mental abuse, and coercion into unwanted physical acts.
An X post by 'pretty.plain.gab' shared a screenshot of Amy Luciani's comment on an unknown Instagram post where she explained why she chose to keep her relationship with Howard private.
She shared that if a castmate hadn’t posted a video of them together, she would have preferred to date in private indefinitely. Following the public reveal of their engagement, she acknowledged the challenges and extended her blessings to everyone.
