The cast of Basketball Wives were all dolled up for the taping of the reunion show which will be showed in a few weeks. The only people missing from the pictures were crazy Kenya Bell and Tami Roman. Not sure if they skipped out or not, but in the rumor mill people did say Tami was a no show and it could relate to a recent tweet Tami did about wishing the next season nothing but the best having her followers wonder if she was leaving the show.

In other news, Shaunie is now realizing that this season wasn’t the greatest with numerous unnecessary fights outweighing the good in the show. Now she wants a balance and has spoken out to VH1 and Shed Media about this in which they gave their thoughts on the upcoming seasons:

VH1

“Our viewers opinions always matter a great deal to us at VH1. Lately, there has been a lot of conversation about Basketball Wives, a series featuring strong, intelligent women with very passionate viewpoints, which can sometimes escalate.

We at VH1 agree with and support Shaunie and the show producers’ “no excessive physical confrontations” policy on the series moving forward. We are all committed to balancing the candid, bold excitement that the viewers have come to love in the series with storylines and representations they can be proud of. Shaunie has been a strong advocate for a more balanced approach to the show and we, along with our producing partners at Shed Media, are all in agreement about moving forward with that goal.”

Shed Media

“Shed Media US is fully committed to telling the compelling stories of the Basketball Wives in a balanced way. Our producing partner Shaunie O’Neal feels strongly about this, and we fully agree with this stance. We support her as she encourages the cast members to work out issues in a non-violent fashion. We look forward to working with her and the rest of the cast on conveying more balance in the next season.”

Sidenote: not really feeling Evelyn’s 90′s look with the split. Maybe it will look better on TV?? and as for Jen it looks like she is wearing the same red jumpsuit that Tyson Chandler’s wife wore to the Met Gala.

In case you didn’t tune in to last night’s episode of Basketball Wives, then take yourself to VH1 to watch the episode and recaps. Royce decided to share her mind on her VH1 blog on how she felt Tami acted as well as the rest of the girls saying poor Kesha was bullied and there was no reason for none of this. I’ve shared below of what Royce said… hopefully Tami doesn’t get to angry and let Royce have it on a reunion show.

Sidenote: because of all this buffoonery, and the petition going around the web on Evelyn, sponsors are now pulling out from BBW and Eve and Chad’s upcoming spinoff show. First it was Summer’s Eve and now a second sponsor will be announced on Change.org

I was honestly just hoping Kesha didn’t say her skin hurt. Tami seemed as though she was trying to find something to get upset about and she chose a cough. From the way the girls were seated in the car, to laughing and making faces behind Kesha’s back if you take a screen capture from that scene and mine from the van in Spain, it’s almost identical.

I’m not sure what happened to Tami, but this isn’t the woman I’ve gotten to know. To see these women gang up on someone who has done nothing to them is embarrassing. I say ganging up because NO ONE did anything to stop it. If you don’t say anything you then become part of the problem. Who cares if Kesha was scared to get in the ocean with sharks and stingrays, I don’t believe I saw any of your asses in a swimsuit jumping in the water either. How are you going to call someone else scary when at least they put on the attire instead of saying “Oh Hell NO” in confessionals?????

I applaud Suzie and Kesha for appreciating what Tahiti had to offer and attempting to stay drama free. I find it amazing when alcohol is used as liquid courage and an excuse to turn into the HULK. Most times I drink, I get emotional, horny, and just want to dance…..:side-eye: lol. But if you know that drinks cause you to have a temper, why indulge just because everyone else is? The whole scene with Tami and Kesha I shook my head. At some point you have to look at yourself and say “Damn, that wasn’t a good look. I need to change the way I speak to people and handle things because I look crazy.” If you don’t see it, your “so-called” friends have and should tell you the same. Tami, if Evelyn and Shaunie found no problem with Kesha’s questions, it wasn’t up to you to find one. Tami, if you HEARD Kesha said all these things about you, why not call out the person who told you so you can get all three parties together. Continue Reading…
