Last week, Gilbert Arenas' longtime girlfriend Laura Govan reportedly filed a lawsuit against him. In it, she claimed that the couple broke up at the end of 2014, and she said that she wants him to pay her an undisclosed amount of money since they'd been together for more than a decade. She also claimed that he "forcefully took" a $1 million engagement ring that he gave to her in 2008 and sold it off without giving her any of the proceeds from the sale. Additionally, she revealed that Arenas owns several marijuana clinics in California, and she asked for a cut of the profits from those establishments as well.

Last night, Arenas responded by taking to Instagram and posting the photo above as well as a long caption explaining his position on the lawsuit. In the caption, he shot down the idea that he owns any marijuana clinics, said that he's been paying about $20,000 per month to support Govan and the couple's four kids, and admitted that he'd given Govan a fake engagement ring and kept a real one locked away in safe.

Here's the entire caption:
