Basketball Wives Miami star Tami Roman covers the October 2011 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine.

Tami revealed what we knew all along — that her role on BBQ Wives is scripted and that her television antics are just an act to draw viewers to the show. Plus, she’s got kids to feed and she doesn’t want to be kicked off the show!

Tami divulges, “I have to have a certain amount of income and VH1 pays me a lot of money to be involved with Basketball Wives…I’m just trying to keep my job, because when you don’t perform to their standards or what they feel they need for their show, then you’ll be written off…I got to feed my kids…”

If you recall, local attorney Phaedra Parks made a similar admission when her shenanigans on “Real Housewives of Atlanta” caused her to lose clients in real life.

This is why I have so much respect for actress Vivica A. Fox. Once she found out she would have to be fake to be on a reality show, she politely declined.

Tami also made a little loose change hosting a Black Gay Pride party for WassupnATL at Park Tavern in Atlanta this past weekend.
