Premiere: Basketball Wives

Sandra Rose April 12, 2010

Last night was the premiere of Shaunie O’Neal’s much anticipated “Basketball Wives” on VH1. First and foremost, there are no wives on “Basketball Wives.” There aren’t even any fiancee’s on “Basketball Wives.”

“B. Wives” is the brainchild of O’Neal, who is best known as the scorned ex-wife and baby mama of Shaquille O’Neal. She is now a star in her own right after beating a playa at his own game. Shaunie thought it would make good TV if some of her other scorned and jilted ex-girlfriends of NBA stars told their stories.

Basically, Shaunie (center) has assembled a cast of ex-wives, ex-girlfriends and ex-jump offs of NBA stars. All except one has been dumped, jilted and cheated on by their NBA meal tickets and they see the show as their one final ticket to redemption.

My favorite cast members are Jennifer Williams (far left), ex-wife of NBA player Eric Williams, who is a successful real estate agent and owner of a women’s fitness center. I also like Evelyn Lozada (3rd from right) because she’s real and she wears her emotions on her sleeve.

Lozada is also a successful business woman who owns the upscale Dulce shoe boutique in Coral Gables and Dulceshoes.net.

Dwight Howard’s baby mama, Royce Reed (2nd from left), is cast as the bad girl of the bunch and I don’t like her already. The youngest cast member, Gloria Gowan (far right), 24, is the only one who is actually with an NBA player. She has 16-month-old twins with her fiance Matt Barnes.

New Brandy & Ray J and Chilli episodes after the break.

Nikki Babie

loved the basketball wives last night, that show was good!! chilli show was also good, I can’t wait to see the next one, it seems like her and mayweather have slept together already….ray j show was wack to me, didnt like it!!

Sandra how can you like Evelyn? She’s a lying azz, its funy how her breakup coincided with Antoine going broke, I’m sure she couldn’t take it anymore when she reached into his pocket and came out with a hand full of lint. 10 years with dude and you can’t take what anymore? you didn’t even get wifed.

I like Royce for the simple fact she’s not putting on airs about her hoe tendencies. All that p-popping by the poolside is what these other tranny looking bishes do behind closed doors.

@KaraZ

I agree. Evelyn is the biggest bitch! With her man looking self..Jennifer may be successful but she’s a bitch too and looks just like that fugly ex husband with the nasty gums…
nika405

Those basketball chicks were thristy! They all hate Royce because she is who they are, they try and pretend that they are so classy but acting like Royce is how they got their men. Don’t even get me started on Royce…I couldn’t believe she is 29? She is a Super Thristy Captain come and save me hoe ass. She saw all those $ signs pool side and her inner hoe came out!

I didn’t see Brady & Ray J. but I did see Chilli’s show. Her dating coach reminded me of Tanisha from BGC and she will be alone forever w/that long unrealistic list of hers.

Morning Fam!
lovezoe

When Jennifer and her husband divorced, on the preview it stated they were still married.

@nika, the only thing that was silly on Chilli’s list was the no pork thing… :hehehe:
glamdiva83

Didn’t watch Ray J & probably won’t watch….Gloria sister is the 1 whom was engaged or married 2 Gilbert Arenas & she’s Shaq mistress…I wonder do Gilbert still want paternity on the new baby cuz it could be Shaq….is this a script or unscript reality show? Didn’t know Evelyn was engaged 2 a bball player…she actually be in her store working(well atleast the couple times I went)…her shoe boutique has quite a decent shoe selection
pyt305

shouldve been basketball ex lovers! I liked the show. And I like Royce. She is dancer so of course she gonna like to dance. Them other old hoes was just jealous cuz she young and having fun. Suzie looks like tranny…chili show was good.

the ray j and brand show was beyond boring. Can’t believe they made it an hour. …good morning everyone
DivaPT

i just wanna see more of suanie on the show i love her personality

off topic does anyone know if candy girls is coming back on vh1
DivaPT

@8 yea brandy and ray j show is terrible boring i couldnt take it anymore i cant wait till desperate housewives to come back on at 9 because the norwood family is boring as hell
nika405

@ KaraZ now don’t get me wrong you can have standards but she said she is not willing to compromise at all? 2BM’s/no pork/love GOD/finer than Denzel/wealthy/big d!ck, and she had somemore I’m thinking if even her friends are saying she’s diffcult…she may be!
intensemocha

SAW THIS LAST NIGHT AND FIRST LET ME SAY WOW!!!!!!

THESE CHICKS ARE A HOT MESS TO SAY THE LEAST-EXACTLY WHAT I CONDEMN ON THIS SITE A BUNCH OF WOMEN TRYING TO PRETEND TO BE HOLIER THAN THOU OR SELF-RIGHTEOUS ALL WHILE LOOKING DOWN THEIR NOSE AT THE NEXT CHICK-AND THEY THEMSELVES ARE ENDURING HELL

SHAQ’S WIFE APPEARS TO BE LEVEL-HEADED AND COMES ACROSS AS SOMEWHAT DOWN TO EARTH

BUT I’LL BE WATCHING THIS BURNING BALL OF FLAME

OLE GIRL-THE DANCER IS A HOT MESS, BUT WHO THE HELL ARE THEY TO SIT HER DOWN AND TELL HER SHE MAKES THEM LOOK BAD-I WOULD OF TOLD THEM HEFFAS TO KICK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!I WOULDN’T HAVE GIVEN THEM THE PLEASURE OF SEEING ME CRY; THEY WEREN’T SINCERE AT ALL AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE HER FEEL BAD

SHE’S A GROWN WOMAN AND IF SHE WANT TO SHAKE HER BOOTY AND ACT A FOOL-SHE’S ENTITLED TO DO SO

IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE PARADE-DON’T STAND AROUND AND WATCH, KEEP IT MOVING!

I was on reality show overload so I read a book instead
SHANIASMOMMA

they were jump offs at one time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!..they make me sick passing judgement !
allwrightyden

Didn’t watch Ray J’s show (probably won’t) caught the last of Basketball Wives – Royce (Dwight Howard’s jump off) seems to be a bit of a HO…
LaTechGrad02

I missed it. Did anyone else watch Treme last night?
allwrightyden

Oh, I enjoyed Chilli’s show, but she has very high expectations when it comes to a man. Just hope she’s living up to those expectations on her part!
The Original MsG

Can’t stand Evelyn. She is lying ALOT and she look like a man. How can you date an athlete for 10 years, ever marry him then soon as he is broke you suddenly move out. Girl/Man Stop.
Also, I don’t like how they down Royce. She is who she is and I like her. I also like Shaunie. The rest are not even worth writing about.
The Original MsG

Oh and Chilli’s show was pretty decent. That Tionna girl had me hollering. She is hilarious.
lacountrygirl

Royce is so stupid it breaks my heart. She has a mentality that can’t be broken.
intensemocha

THAT TIONNA GIRL WILL PROBABLY HAVE HER OWN SHOW AFTER THIS

IT WAS PRICELESS DURING THE PREVIEWS SHE TOLD HER SHE CAN TAKE HER AZZ BACK TO NY AND LEAVE HER THERE BY HERSELF ALONE

CHILLI THINKS BECAUSE SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND SUCCESSFUL THAT A MAN SHOULD FALL IN HER LAP-WHAT SHE NEEDS TO REALIZE SHE HAS TO CONNECT WITH A MAN ON INTIMATE LEVEL AND SHE’LL NEVER GET THERE WITH THAT UNREALISTIC LIST-SHE COMES ACROSS AS SUPERFICIAL

RAY J IS A JERK AND A MAMA’S BOY-HIS EGO IS OVER INFLATED

HE’S REALLY A CORNBALL WITH MONEY-WHO OBVIOUSLY THRIVES OFF THE ATTENTION HE GARNERS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE’S BRANDY’S LITTLE BROTHER AND HIS UNWARRANTED FAME AND I’LL ASSUME HE HAS MONEY, BUT I’M NOT SURE SINCE HE WAS ACTING BROKE WHEN IT CAME TO PAYING FOR THE VAN

AND HIS CREW IS A BUNCH OF O E’S

why all the wife shows never have wives. the show does seem like it will get interesting during the season.
http://www.twitter.com/karazinatl KaraZ

@nika there’s nothing wrong with being specific (especially about a well endowed man )but clearly Chilli was willing to budge, since she wanted and agreed to go out with Christian the pork eater.

@INTENSE. I’m sorry but i would never let a Tionna Smalls(is that her name?) type hook me up. She’s too rough around the edges, loud, crass etc. for me to think she can represent me well in a search for a dude. I mean look at how she spoke to the men at that party, I wouldn’t want to be associated with her brash personality. Besides I believe she’s single, so WTF is she going to tell me about finding a man.

There were a few things on her list that I also agreed with that are not deal breakers(No Smoking, Christian, no more than 1 babymama for me). Now the he has to be a non-drinker, gorgeous, have a washboard stomache and not eat pork was plain ridiculous. For a 39 year old women to have things so petty on her list made no sense. Age SHOULD bring wisdom.

I’d like to go on the record and say that Brandy’s hairline is probably what caused my weird azz dreams last night… those wigs offended me.

Totally agree. While Tionna is great for comic relief because she was funny, I couldn’t see her as a man magnet and she was far too bold at even a classy event. When she touched the man’s penis I was too through.

Sidebar: Her weaves/lacefronts look like hats.

@KARAZ

SHE IS LOUD AND CRASS BUT I THINK THAT’S WHAT MAKES HER A CANDIDATE FOR A REALITY SHOW

I forgot to watch
Man, I just don’t care™

Has the definition of a “wife” changed unbeknownst to me? I guess it sounds better as the title of tv show tho.

Anyway, the women looked a WHOLE lot better than the promo picture that was released. They actually looked like WOMEN and not Trannies.

I like Royce. She is just having fun. Nothing wrong with that. **she’s fine too**
Man, I just don’t care™

I liked all three of VH-1 shows:

Basketball Women
Chilli
Brandy/Ray J

In that order.
Ms. Thickness

GOOD MORNING ALL,

I AGREE WITH INTENSE…I THINK SHE WILL SOON HAVE HER OWN SHOW CAUSE SHE IS VERY OVER THE TOP…CHILLI’S LIST WILL KEEP HER ASS SINGLE FOREVER. AND WHY HOMEGIRL BOOBIES LOOK LIKE BALLOONS WAITING TO POP…LOL

BASKETBALL WIVES IS A FUC_ING MESS! I HATE THAT SHOW AND IF ROYCE WANTS TO POP HER COOCHIE ALL OVER AFRICA THEN SO DAMN BE IT…

RAY-J AND BRANDY…WHY THEY HELL DO THEY THINK THAT THEY ARE STILL RELEVANT? I DONT GET IT…
http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

Good morning everyone

all shows were interesting, brandy and rj’s the least…Basketball Wives and What Chili Wants are predictable… Royce is going to be the outcast of Basketball Wives and eventually is going to get kicked off (I mean why was she there anyway, she can’t even mention Dwight’s name)…Chili is going to fall for Mayweather but he’s married with kids, so that’s going to be a no-go and season 2 will pop up

Especially with her baby hairs pumpin and her lip gloss a shinin.
What time is she gonna stop wearing her hair like a little kid and get a grown up hairdo.
http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

Basketball Trannies was good. But I liked the girl that was a dancer… Reese. I felt them manly looking chicks were just jealous of her. I remember when the pool party thing jumped off and I don’t remember NONE of them chicks named being mentioned. They weren’t mad till the next day when she got some shine off of it. What the heck they mean they don’t wanna be associated with her… uhm who are any of you again?

Brandy & Ray J show. There mother has looked after them so much that they are grown and don’t know how to do anything that requires what most adults know how to do… take care of your self. & the fact that they eat out everynight? Brandy don’t you have a small child. Hire a damn cook.

Chilli is a fake ass trick. All them rules yet she was on her 4th date with Floyd who was cleary high on the date. People are so stupid sometimes because even if she found someone who fit all those rules they’d probably treat her like shyt. Never did I hear her say treating me like a queen be one of the rules. A big dyck? I hope she chokes on it.

Was I the only one that got the vibe that Matt Barnes beats the chit out of his ol lady? Talkin bout “Yall bet no corrupt Gloria.”

I get the impression he got her trained to sit down with her mouth shut.

@ MAN BOO I CAUGHT THAT TOO..YOU SEE HE TRIED TO CLEAN IT UP BY SAYING NOT THAT YOU ALL ARE CORRUPT..LMAO..THEM MAN-HOES WAS FINNA BEAT HIS ASS. LOL
MIZZ.I_REP_ATL

I watched the show and I wasn’t impressed with the first episode. I don’t like Evelyn and the dark-skinned chick (whats her name?), but as of now, I do like Royce and Gloria. As far as Shaunie, I don’t really care for her, but I can’t hate the player. That b*tch was on top of ish in her relationship with Shaq. But I’ll be watching the rest of the season, seems like it’s going to be pretty good, but last night, it started off kinda slow. As far as the other to shows, I watch some of Brandy and RayJ, I love Sonja!!!! As far as Chilli…good luck, I turnt my TV off when it came on.
gypsyeyes

Ray J needs to grow up and Brandy well…That lace front is hidious. How can you have friends aroung and they can’t tell you about your forehead and eyebrows?
NBA(women who got knocked up and shacked up)wives. May be good but they just see in Royce what they know that men see in her. A free spirit that doesn’t care. She is a dancer and when you are at a club you ‘dance’. Now I’m not saying that little Royce isn’t a whore but she is just being her without trying to be “bou-ghetto” like the other women.
Man, I just don’t care™

I think Chilli was just talkin a whole lotta chit. She know cot-dayum well she ain’t give a rats azz that Usher was drankin and munchin pork.

Talkin all that chit.

**I liked Tionne Smalls tho, she seemed real cool**

GLORIA WAS SCARED SHIATLESS, SHE GOT ALL NERVOUS WHEN SHAUNY WALKED IN

AND I HATE TO SAY IT SHE WAS A BIT UPPITY-GOOD FOR HER THAT HER MAN SEEMS TO TREAT HER WELL AND SHE’S ACTUALLY MARRIED BUT INSTEAD OF LOOKING DOWN HER NOSE AT THE OTHERS AND THINKING SHE’LL NEVER BE THEM

SHE MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTES, OBSERVE, AND LISTEN AND PRAY SHE NEVER HAS TO PUT THE INFO TO USE-THERE IS A LESSON IN ALL THIS MESS FOR HER AS WELL

Am I the only one in the world that did not watch Basketball Wives? I watched Brandy and Ray-J and then promptly turned to HBO for the season premiere of Treme set in New Orleans 3 mos after Hurricane Katrina. I thought that was more worthy of my time than to watch a group of women on a show about wives who aren’t wives. Much respect to Shaunie though. Make that paper!
Man, I just don’t care™

Sonja has raised Brandy and Ray J to be “dependent” imbecilles unfortunately.

I think Ray J might literally be “special.” Maybe it’s the drugs or something but 1 out of 5 sentences he said actually made a modicum of sense.

So Mayweather is married? Oh Chili and your list…do better! Admit you want Usher (Ush, Ush- yall know how he does his own echo) and keep it pushing. He is still into old chics so you have a chance!!Drop Tionna Smalls (LOL- Biggie’s daughter is named Tionna- Tionna Smalls! LOL) and gone on let Usher (Ush, Ush) tap that again. If not, is your own baby daddy still single or were you just screwing him for beats back in the TLC days?

Basketball Jumpoffs was weird. Royce is a hoe. The other girls are a mess and the reason there were no actual WIVES on the show is because most of them signed prenup and they need to REMAIN wives to keep getting them checks! Can’t nothing interrupt your cash flow like getting on tv talking about what a hoe your husband is and what all he has brought home to you with his “hoe tendancies”.

Ray J and Brandy…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Sonja has always been the tea. SkeeWee Sonja Norwood!!! Her kids though? NOOOO!

I actually tuned into this show last night….Just wow! I think I like Shaunie the best and she is the most legit in my opinion…The youngest one in my opinion thinks she has it all figured out in my opinion. I will have to see more episodes before I come to a conclusion about her fiance but I don’t think she should turn her nose up yet. I don’t think anyone should turn their nose up for that matter….Look, those women had a goal in mind and that was to score with a baller. Notice how some of them said they were in relationships for 10+ years. So does that make u better? Did they put a ring on it? It just urked the heck out of me that some of them felt a since of entitlement. Ol’ girl who’s sister is messing with shaq needs to stop giving people the side eye because the mere fact that her sister is hooking up with shaq lets me know they (her sis and prolly per friends) all had the same goal in mind. I foresee this being a Bad Girls Club part 2, with chicks with more money. Miss Royce needs to have a seat…she is just too young-minded. I’m sure sure she could never get hired by another NBA team, she shakes her arse on demand, and she ain’t got no sense…thatisall *smh*

I agree a man is only going to do what you allow as far as getting married. If you let them lay up for years and are ok with that then that is what they will do IMO. I don’t think you should try and pressure/nag/ask a man to marry you but I dont think you should stay around forever IF marriage is what you desire. IF you do NOT want to get married then dont say I do and enjoy being in a relationship and keep it moving. Marriage isnt for everybody so DO YOU at the end of the day!
Man, I just don’t care™

Ok, family you know I am the resident VH-1 reality tv junkie, so last night was like overload for me!

Brandy and Ray J: I think I will watch for Sonya…she seems more entertaining than either Ray J or Brandy. I cannot stand Ray J. Is a pompass azz…and very immature.

Basketball Wives: They cannot be serious, the whole poor litte rich girl thing…give me a break…what about the women who go through all that they are claiming to go through that don’t drive range rovers and live in million dollars houses…these chicks know what they signed up for when they get involved with these men….so they can just stop and though Royce isn’t a good look, AT LEAST she is being herself and not putting on heirs….I think the other ones are being hypocrites and are being phony….trying to act like they are all pure and pristine…please…they are cut from the SAME EXACT cloth as Royce. Shaunie seems cool, but don’t be fool, that chick got MAD game…..

Chili: She can’t be serious. I mean really, is she? There is nothing wrong with having standard and requirements, but she is looking for a man, not buying a car. At the end of the day, she just needs to stop because it just boils down to the fact that she is still in love with Usher. Period. Therefore, no man is going to measure up. Its written all over her face..she still loves him…and by coming up with this unobtainable checklist she is subconciously or conciously making herself emotionally unavailable to any other man.

Morning all…

Me ad hubby watched it all and goodness it was a bag of mixed chips…

Ray and Brand was ok but not a must see. Her hairline was all over the place last night. Ray needs to grow up, and mama needs to sit down and let her kids be.

The ex’s are just that ex’s….why call it b-ball wives if that is not the case. Nonetheless I liked it and at this point non are my favorite yet. Although Royce seems like the only one that is being her self. That Natalie Cole look alike is pretty to me I can’t wait to see how her marriage troubles play out on the show, her hubby seems like a loser..

Chili..I love the chick she does remind me of Tanisha so much, if she keeps this up she will definitely have her own show..

I can’t wait till next Sunday!!!

I did NOT like Evelyn. Overall, the majority of the “wives” seemed really messy. I do not like how Evelyn came at Royce about dancing on stage. SO WHAT? ROyce is the representative for the crew. Not saying I would do what she did, but hell, it’s not like she was repping for the rest of the girls cuz it’s not like they are even real “friends.” It seems like they were looking for something to be wrong with her. I guess THAT’s the reality of “reality” TV–there always has to be a villain.
MS.G

I can’t take anymore “baby hair”….Brandy had a lace front with baby hair… >:(
Shauny

I haven’t even read the comments yet but wanted to give my commentary.

Sandra I find it hilarious that you like Evelyn who I liked LEAST of all of them. It’s funny that you liked the fakest one the most. How can Royce embarass you sweetie? You were with ANTIONE WALKER for how many years, didn’t get wifed AND NOW HE’S BROKE. There is NOTHING that Royce could do in your presence to make you look any worse off than that. #sityafakehatingassdownhoe

And isn’t Jennifer AND Gloria married? Also, what about the one who said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but sit there and look like Shrek? Is she married?

Royce was brought on this show specifically to get bullied and berated by these hoes and I don’t know if Shaunie knew that in the door and used her or will find out during the show. She isn’t pretending to be fake and fit in with them she is being who she is and I like her for that. I found it odd that out of ALL of those ugly hoes on my screen that girls all I saw was “Royce is not cute”. Hating bishes because from what I saw on my screen she looked better than all of them hoes. ALL OF THEM.

Suzie’s ass is ugly too! I hope Shaq’s jumpoff makes an episode of the show. Did anyone get from that conversation that the sister DID fvck Shaq? Were you watching Gilbert?
Shauny

#31 said MsOriginalG

Because too many black women allow black men to live with them and never take that vow and walk down the aisle. I cannot imagine being with a man even 2 years and we are not getting married shortly thereafter.
********************************************
Last time I check EVERY housewife show didn’t have all wives every one of them and the BLACK WOMEN (except Royce) wasn’t married on BW. Please don’t generalize. It’s every genre not just “black women”.

Oh and PLEASE tell me what I missed last night that made Royce a hoe? Over the top dancing? Crying? Saying she wanted to go home and she wasn’t expecting the situation she’s in? Why is she a hoe, because those hating ass bitches said she was? Or is there a new definition now?

MFs don’t have DVRs now sheez

Same argument for your time can be said for mfs who come on here. Surely there is something more positive you can be doing with your time right? Devil’s advocate is a mutha

I would feel sorry for Royce, but she keeps popping that coochie and hoe dancing whenever she hears music. And she calls that professional dancing?? Blank stare.
Shauny

Hubby didn’t tape Brandy and Ray J’s show but the tweets alone on Brandy had me DEAD!!! I couldn’t even watch the play girl, I couldn’t put my phone down They KILLED her.

I did see Chili’s show and Tionna IS the show. She isn’t overly ghetto and she’s entertaining. Wasn’t Chili with the CNN dude and said he was “too nice” for her? I think she wants a Floyd type so she can go through drama, get cheated on, deal with jumpoffs, be thrown TI style gifts to show love, just for a dvck down nicca who doesn’t eat pork.
Shauny

@AM She’s a dancer so what does her popping her coochie have to do with the cost of tea in China? I bet you if those basicball “wives” were just prospects they’d be using her moves to get the NBA dummies to pay attention to their ass.

@ Shauny

Lmao I thought the same thing about the DVR. >>>>>here<<<<<<

I guess no one ever really paid much attention to haw B Ball team dancers actually dance. I could’ve swore I saw a clip of her on the court doing the same moves that she did off court.

They made me so when she started trying to make her feel like she was caught sucking somebody off. I have at least heard of her before the show. I hope she doesn’t let them miserable itches steal her joy.
Man, I just don’t care™

Royce seems really cool to me but it seemed like the other chicks felt they were “superior” because their “relationship/business arrangement” lasted longer than Royce’s.

I mean, ol girl talking bout she was the “ex-fiance.” HA HA HA HA HA HA. How long ago was that? That’s just a fancy of way of saying I fugged wit this nucca for ten years and then we broke up. SMH.

I can’t stand Shaunie. She is just like Kim K. IMO.
Cinderella

I watched all three shows and wasn’t impressed. Brandy’s lacefront and her constant talking about Flo-Rida annoyed the hell out of me. I am really tired of Ray-J and his phony gangsta/pimp act. Th Baskeball Wives a.k.a The Basketball Former and Current Jumpoffs, played into the stereotype of pro-sports wives. I expect this show to be the most drama filled.
tampa813

I actually like Royce cuz she was herself and those other broads are too stuckup to not be actual wives. Shaunie seems cool too.
Didn’t waste my time on Chilli or RayJ/Brandy shows,but I thought its funny from the previews that Chilli had all those requirements but she was with Usher.

Evelyn was talking about, she left because she wanted to set an example for her daughter. So what type of example was she setting for her daughter when she stayed with Antoine for 10 years without a ring on her finger, just for $$$. As soon as he goes broke, she can’t take it anymore. Bish please, you’re a gold-digger and you aren’t teaching your daughter anything. Sitting there like she is high class with her nose in the air!

There was nothing wrong with Royce, and how is she a Hoe, when she is doing the same exact thing these hoes were doing. Their men, didn’t even love them enough to put a ring on it. I will not watch the show again. All of them have hoe tendencies. Remember you can’t turn a hoe a housewive and how many of them hoes were married?

Ms.Everything

I don’t watch reality shows but I love reading yalls commentary on them. Anyway, I’ve never liked Chili and have always thought something was off with her from wearing the same exact hairstyle for the last 20 years, to dating a man in his early 20’s at the top of his game while you’re in your 30’s and then being shocked he isn’t ready to settle down, and I always wondered why shed been single for so long but now it all makes since. And how can you request a Christian man but on the same list want a big dick? That doesn’t make sense but maybe that’s just me.

As far as Brandy and Ray J, I can respect Ray J because he’s always had his hustle on since he was a little boy but at the same time he’s a grown man still acting like a little boy. Brandy needs to stop playing around and put out an album. Get in the studio, get a good producer and writer and get to work. If the label isn’t willing to market her then she needs to get her hustle on and get out there and market herself. If they won’t give her the greenlight to put a new album out well she’s got enough money to do it herself, release a mixtape and go independant but sitting back making you tube videos, random cameos at concerts and reality shows isn’t enough if she’s not putting out music to go along with all the publicity she has right now

No comment on the Basketball Wives just like I won’t comment on the Real Housewives, they (well 95% of them) are not wives. Baby mamas, permanent girlfriends and ex fiances do not qualify as a wife. Call the shows what they are and stop trying to boost these womens profiles by giving them a title they haven’t earned or received. You wouldn’t call a governor the president would you? Hell no
pinksghetti

I’m confused by the title too. Only one or so out of the 8 (or whatever) women are actually still married and only two or 3 ever were married to a baskeball player. I liked Chilli’s show, she has always seemed really nice and fun (not dating someone who likes pork is weird though). Christian the one guy she went on the date was cute. I didn’t see much of Brandy/Ray J show except the dad complaining about how the mom is so into the kids business that she doesn’t have much time for him.
pinksghetti

I agree with the others about Royce. To me she was just having fun. It’s her booty and she can shake it if she wants to. She has dancing in her blood and can’t help to bust a move whenever she can.
nika405

I’m calling Royce a hoe based on those hoe tendencies that I saw come out, #1 nothing wrong with dancing, and she is/was a profesional but why did she have to pull her pants down and start slapping that other girl on the ass checks and dancing with her with her face in her crotch and freaking her? To me she was trying to send hoe signals out to all those with some money in the vicinty.
pinksghetti

@ Iscream at #41, my mom said the exact same thing about them being jealous of Royce because she’s young and pretty and that some of them look like men, lol. Of course she didn’t see the part where Royce was booty dancing she would have changed her mind (my moms is a prude).
BROWNSUGAPOET

Nika if we go to the rodeo I’m gonna smack you on your cheeks to see if I can pull some of them cowboys that actually make money since we in a recession and all! SInce you so short I’ll just walk around with you on my shoulders!
nika405

@Brown shut up stooopid lol!
nika405

And I all know if she was dancing like that in a club and I saw her the first thing that would pop up in my mind is “WTF is that hoe doing out there on the dance floor she needs to do that hoe shyt behind closed doors”.
intensemocha

WHAT IS UP WITH WOMEN AND THEIR NEED TO CONTROL OTHER WOMEN AND TELL THEM HOW THEY SHOULD BEHAVE/ACT????!!!!!!!

ESPECIALLY IF THE WOMAN IS NOT RELATED TO YOU OR A MINOR

NOT THAT I APPROVE OF THE BEHAVIOR, I JUST DON’T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT CHICK IS DOING TO THE POINT THAT I WOULD OFFER MY TWO CENTS

IT’S HER LIFE TO LIVE-WHO AM I TO TELL HER HOW TO LIVE IT

BIBLE THUMPERS & THE MORALS CREW-WILL HIGHLY DISAGREE BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT

REALLY IT’S NOBODY ELSE’S BUSINESS WHAT SHE DOES-ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOESN’T IMPACT YOU DIRECTLY

@nika

Have you ever been to spring break? I went to Cancun durning Memorial weekend and what Royce did was nothing compared to what chicks do in these type of situations. She wasn’t in a club she was on a beach, in a dance contest, which is why she did what she did. She was doing something to create shock value that would make her stand out and win.
nika405

@Iscream no I’ve never been to spring break, but I was in the Navy and had plenty of deployments overseas to see what alcohol/5mos w/o sex/in a country you will never see again will do to people, and I thought they same thing about those girls and %99.9 of the time they were the squadron/ship hoes putting it out there they were available.
I’ve been at the club booty popping (back that ass up was my shyt) but while I was dancing I didn’t pull my pants down or let other men/women touch me, I felt that would be taking it too far, and Royce is 29 most spring breakers are 20-24yrs old.
http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

I wonder if she actually won or not?
The Original MsG

Shauny Says:

#31 said MsOriginalG

Because too many black women allow black men to live with them and never take that vow and walk down the aisle. I cannot imagine being with a man even 2 years and we are not getting married shortly thereafter.
********************************************
Last time I check EVERY housewife show didn’t have all wives every one of them and the BLACK WOMEN (except Royce) wasn’t married on BW. Please don’t generalize. It’s every genre not just “black women”.

Oh and PLEASE tell me what I missed last night that made Royce a hoe? Over the top dancing? Crying? Saying she wanted to go home and she wasn’t expecting the situation she’s in? Why is she a hoe, because those hating ass ****es said she was? Or is there a new definition now?

@iscream She didn’t win, LOL
http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

@ artistman999

I wonder what the girl who won did..

@nika

Okay, well lets see if she can change your view of her in the up and coming episodes.
Man, I just don’t care™

Royce did win the dance contest. I think she won a tee shirt and like $5,000
Chgoprime

Yea I can respect Royce b/c she keepin it real. She’s a p-popper. I laugh at the rest these baby mamas and forever fiance’s trying act like they got class and pass judgment on Royce. NEWSFLASH: ALL OF YALL ARE ALL GROUPIES! And the title of the show is soooo misleading…..
bigtyme

i can’t believe evelyn talked about the example she was setting for her daughter when she laid up w/ a man for 10 years in a house w/ her daughter, but he wasn’t taking care of the 7 or 8 kids he had a hand in creating. you suck lady…i have no respect for a man that does not take care of his child/children…plus antoine walker is short bus special! i can’t say she didn’t care about him…but that money sure as hell had to make it easier, that is why when it was gone, she bounced.
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

I couldn’t believe how those slightly reformed hoochies had the nerve to sit Royce down and scold her because she was making them look bad. I’d heard of Royce even before the rump shaking display. I don’t know any of those broads nor was their name brought up when that video went viral. Hell, I still don’t remember any of them. Royce is definitely my favorite.

What I like most about this show is that it shows current hoochies their future if they are lucky enough actually get a long term relationship or at least a baby out of these professional athletes. If they like you for your looks they will be through with you when they are gone in all of 10 years. All of the ladies over 30 look like they used to be really cute back in the day.
Mrs. Wimberly

Watched the Brandy and Ray J show……boring/corny! Ray is how old??? Him and his “crew” still act like they are in HS. Brandy needs to retire the lace fronts……they do not look good on her. Maybe she should go back to braids. Did she get her teeth done??? The looked super huge last night!
Dhoward1913

This is the craziest shyt I have ever seen. I find it hilarious that RayJ wants someone to respect his sister on a whole different level, but all those girls on that crazy ass For the Love of RayJ are someone’s sister. This is totally disgusting. I am also disgusted by Sonja Norwood and clan. They should just go away.
taymorel

The only Basketball “wife” I liked was Royce–she seems fun and down to earth.

I like Ray J, but not the Norwood Family. Wish they would’ve brought back Ray’s dating show, cause this new one is boring.

Always been a fan of Chillie-hope she finds happiness, but don’t think it will be on a dating show. But, there was lots of chemistry with her and Floyd, but I think she knows they should only be friends. Don’t think he is ready to settle down.
