Boycott to Stop Evelyn Lozada from Bullying Started + Star Jones Speaks Out on Reality TV

Star Jones is not a fan of reality TV, where women, specifically women of color, are portrayed in a negative light by cursing, fight and conflict. Thursday morning, during Star’s regular “Professionals” segment on the Today Show, she explained why she’s not a fan of said shows. Watch the clip below (starts at the 2:56 mark):

After the show aired, Star tweeted:

Meanwhile, Star Jones isn’t the only one against reality TV.

A petition to stop a popular reality star, Evelyn Lozada of Basketball Wives, has been started. Titled: Boycott Evelyn Lozada: Don’t support Evelyn Lozada’s spinoff show “EV And OCHO” on VH1, the petition has almost 6k signatures. What do you think about the petition to stop Evelyn’s spin-off? Is Evelyn a bully and if so, should this prevent her spin-off? And are Star Jones’ comments on the ‘Today Show’ warranted?

    I think the reality show Evelyn Lozada should not start because she is a Bully and no one should submitted to that kind of behavior or treatment from no one.Its like she”s trying to force people to live by her standards.

    I think it should be prevented(her spinoff), I signed the petition because we should not condone this type of behavior, it’s deeper than just entertainment, if Ron Artest can be penalized so should she…

    Wish someone had started a boycott of Kim Zolciak’s “Don’t be Tardy for the Wedding”.

      But she is a pro whore and a homewrecker!!!

        Stop it with the homewrecker crap. Big Poppa was already seperated from his wife when he was dating Kim. Evelyn is the pro whore. She is the one lowering her standards just to get a ring. Chad makes a fool out of her, more than she makes a fool outta herself. You can tell that Kim and Kroy have a genuine love, Ev and Chad are two reality train wrecks, dont confuse the 2

          The man is still married…. PERIOD! It’s never acceptable. He’s a loser, but right is right! I’d be surprised if he ever gets divorced. His wife has got to be crazy for staying. Kudos for Kim for moving on… But let’s keep it real!

          As far as Evelyn is concerned… She is the worst type of hypocrite. Jenn is right for moving on. Evelyn has never respected anyone’s feelings but her own. She is selfish and an opportunist. I realize this is tv, but, if this is her reality, she needs a reality check! Shaunie and Tami are the worst friends ever! Who allows their friend to behave this horribly? Laughing and joking about this nonsense makes them no better! I thought they were Jenn’s friend as well. Where’s their loyalty! I guess as long as they are loyal to Evelyn it doesn’t matter that they are hypocrites as well! Hello! They were just dogging Kenya for her clothes and her hair! What a bunch of losers! I have no respect for them at all!

    Kim Z. isn’t hopping over tables in dresses to lunge at another woman. There has never been a physical altercation in the history of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Bravo doesn’t air that footage ever.

    We need to be clear about this boycotting thing as well. The show is still going to air as long as peoople watch it. When you switch channels, it registers and adds to the ratings of the show. When we stop tuning in every week, the shows wont air.

      I officially quit after that racetrack scuffle. Evelyn Lozada is the real bum! Tami Roman and Shaunie Oneal can kiss it as well! Tami complained that it was the producers fault that we see violence! Puhlease! Maybe if they stop acting like buffoons and start acting like respectable ladies! Tami forgave Evelyn for being the most untrustworthy person ever! For real? She knew Kenny was married! She is a jumpoff, not was! Trust!

    Brooklyn said it best! And Yosh added a valuable point- the only way to stop the show is to not watch it. Point.Blank.Period.

    I just want to say that she is not a women of color. She is Puerto Rican.

    • Anonymous at 11:30 pm

      Uh, sorry, Puerto Rican is a minority! Evelyn is a woman of color. She may not be African American, but she is a woman of color. And really, that doesn’t matter! Women should be respectful. The fact that her contempt towards Jenn is so venomous says something about her character. She is not without flaws and yet she is so quick to judge others! Jenn seems like the biggest airhead but seriously, she’s rebuilding her life and having to rediscover who she is without her husband. That Nia chick works for the woman that claims to hate her guts! What did she expect? I certainly would back off as well, especially to avoid any awkwardness! Jenn has a communication problem, but those other chicks seem to have a common sense deficiency!

    ya i could toaltally understand the feeling you are coming from becaues no one one should be bullied everyone should stick up for everyvody i think that is what the world needs to get ahold of is not to bully other people cus we have enought that anyway !..

    Allowing this women to promote violence is totally a disturbing bad message sent to young adolescent women. Who may feel after watching this show that it is okay to attack other human beings. Not only do we need to boycott her spin-off, we need to boycott basketball wives who has allow this GETTO behavior to continue. This women is a bully, she CRAZY has anger management issues and needs serious, serious help.  This is not reality in the real world…Have we come to a point where we have lower our standers as a women to get 15 minutes of fame.
