When gold digging goes wrong.

 TMZ is reporting that Dwight Howard is barring his ex-girlfriend/baby mama from making any money off of his name and likeness.  Baby mama figured she could break bank by getting into the reality show making business with his name and fortune and now she can't. 

"According to documents filed in Florida, the Orlando Magic superstar went to war in October with Royce Lyndsay Reed -- the mother of his 2-year-old son -- after she allegedly called him a deadbeat dad on her blog, Twitter and even during an ESPN interview.

Dwight also alleges Royce "is attempting to become a celebrity" from being his baby mama ... even agreeing to "participate in a VH1 television show called 'NBA Wives.'"

Dwight ended up winning a permanent injunction against Royce -- and according to the documents, she's banned from "using or publishing (orally, in writing, or otherwise), directly, indirectly or by innuendo, [Dwight's] name, nicknames, image, brand photographs, and/or likeness."

Royce was on ESPN calling out Dwight as a dead beat dad and a some other unkind names so now she can't even mention his name ever.  Wow....
