Basketball Wives


The third season of hit VH1 show, “Basketball Wives” premiered last night and it was even more sensational than last season.
A preview of what was to come this season was evident on Twitter May 17th, when the ladies of the show posted nasty messages aimed at each other. Evelyn posted a message directed at Tami on her Twitter page, writing “@TamiRoman This ain’t OVER! #subliminaltweet” Later, Tami responded “You’re DEAD! F— a subliminal tweet! U messed w/the wrong 1 trick @EvelynLozada @iamjennifer.”
As the show aired, viewers were caught up to speed on the “situation,” in which it seems everyone has a problem with Evelyn and Jennifer. During the episode, its clear who’s friends and who are not; Tami is at war with Evelyn, Suzie isn’t talking to Evelyn and Jennifer, and Royce is at odds with them both plus Shaunie.
Almost 15 minutes into the episode, Tami confronts Evelyn on producing “You’re A Non F’N Factor, Bitch” t-shirts with a term she coined while cursing out Tami on a previous episode. Tami threatens to sue and pursues it later in the episode. When Tami presents Evelyn with legal papers, she rips them up causing pure chaos between the two.
That wasn’t the only drama, Royce shared her distaste for Evelyn while taping. She said, “Like you said, she’s a jump-off, I’m just gonna say she’s a ho.” A few punches are ultimately thrown between the two and are broken up by security.
Drama that didn’t involve physical violence was also evident in this episode that also introduced viewers to new cast member, Meeka Claxton. Claxton is the wife of former NBA champ, Speedy Claxton, who runs a global real estate company. She plays both sides during the episode, revealing everything that was said and done with each of the cast mates. All sides see Claxton as a troublemaker and if she’s spilling the beans about everybody now, it’s only going to get uglier in future episodes.
Oh, if this was the only the first episode and this much drama took place, we foresee a juicy season ahead.
