Meeka Claxton Says No One Defended Her When Tami Roman Punched & Bullied Her Last Season
Meeka Claxton, who was featured on the last season of Basketball Wives has a bone to pick with some of the reality show’s supporters and media outlets. As you know, this season, some viewers became enraged when they saw what they felt was Tami Roman bullying her cast mate, Kesha Nichols. And a former cast mate, Meeka Claxton, wants to know why no one came to her defense when a similar incident happened to her last season. Meeka took to her blog to voice her displeasure, writing:
Am I mad? No, more like I’m disappointed. When I was attacked everyone thought it was funny. No one thought her actions were disgraceful. As a matter of fact the very same ladies (for lack of a better word) that are “hurt” by the backlash, joked about me being attacked. They laughed and even called me names for taking a stand against her.
I thought pressing charges was wack? Oooooh, I get it…it’s wack when it’s not you!
They all (except Royce) stood behind her, co-signing her actions. But now you want everyone to believe you want balance? As much as their hypocrisy bothers me, I expect it because now their actions threaten their money. So, I knew the crocodile tears weren’t far behind.
What really hurts me are all of the talk show hosts and journalists that are suddenly disturbed by what they are seeing. Taking stands, boycotting, signing petitions etc…Isn’t this what I contacted all of you about last year? I asked for your support, none of which I received. But now it’s a problem? So, it was ok for me to be physically assaulted? Where was all of this “Call To Action” last year? Am I less of a human being?
And on twitter, Meeka also specifically clarifies who’s speaking to in her blog.
Does Meeka have a point? Should the media and the show’s viewers reacted just as strongly this season as when the incident occurred between Meeka and Tami? [J.A.S.J.]

I agree. She was bullied too. Only difference she spoke up, where Kesha kind of just lays down and takes it. But yes, it is true. Nobody cared. It’s because she’s darkskin. Yea, I said it. IF she was lighter people would have more sympathy. Tami was mean and rude and tried to intimidate her and actually did put her hands on her. Terrible.
Yup! I agree… There is a greater chance of the presumption of “innocent” and “vulnerability” for Kesha vis-a-vis Meeka.
She has a really good point. I agree 100%
I definitely agree with Meeka also. Why is this just now being called “BULLYING” I guess its just called bullying when you just sit their and accept the abuse and cry about it instead of defend yourself, thats when people feel sorry for you. Totally unfair. Is it really because of her skin tone? HMMMMMM I didnt want to go there but is is kind of suspect.
I think its because meek fought back in the sense. Even though she was sucka slapped she atleast attempted to fight back. no excuses though. Tami evidently picks with people who she thinks is weaker than her. i cant wait to see how she handles it if evelyn goes at her.
She does have a very valid point. I don’t think she wasn’t helped b/c of her skin tone though She didn’t stand there and take Tami’s verbal abuse like Ms. Nichols. She actually stood up for herself.
It was not taken as seriously because Meeka was feeding into the gossip and negativity and that’s what to her being assaulted. She talked shit up until the moment she got punched ! Keisha’s situation was different .
YES MEEKA THEY SURE DIDNT NOTICE YOU!! N U GUYS ACTUALLY GOT PHYSICAL N TAMI AS YET TO TOUCH KESHA… SMH SUCH IS LIFE HUH???
Dont let keshas crocodile tears fool you. She was sellin wolf tickets too during confessionals, she just kept back peddling when confronted about the statements she was making. She should also keep her trash talkin to herself. No, I do not agree with Tammy’s behavior, But Kesha was no angel either.
As a darkskinned female, I dont think that that was the reason. She came in talking sh**. She fed into and started a lot of that negativity but wasnt cute enough to get away with it. I actually think her skin is pretty. She is just funny looking and should not have put herself out there like that. Kenya Moore is her complexion and everyone would agree that she is gorgeous.
I agree with you Kelly re: starting negativity!
I think the problem was Meeka kept talking stuff and the fans just did not like her. Is this an excuse for her to be touched or hit in any way? No. But just like the *ladies* on the show have to grow up, so do the fans. We were wrong for laughing at you Meeka, but you were so annoying on the show I think people wanted to see you get hit. I feel bad about that now, personally speaking.
I think Meeka has a point…Keisha is a little more “weak” than she was so it makes it seem worse, when it is actually the same behavior.
Meka came on to the show seeming to have a hidden agenda and her pla back fired. I actually gave up on the show after the tami meka ordeal .To me Tami wanted to b in with the “it girls” and she accomplishef a fake bond and now thats working against her….the show be cancelled…
Just remember all it wasn’t just Keisha being bullied, it was Jen as well. When Jen got slapped in the face like she did all the entertainment and joy went out for me on this show. How can you walk up to a grown woman and just slap them like that? And Keisha taking the verbal abuse from Tammi was just pure evil. This season has really went overboard with the violence and I am too through with this show.
There is no excuse for bullying. Shauntie needs to be ashamed of herself for trying to convince Jennifer to drop the charges against Nia because there needs to be consequences for her actions. The charges need to be brought back up against Tammy for slapping Meeka because Tammy still has not learned her lesson. Jennifer and Keisha are both classes, and a person should be able to say whatever they want and still feel safe.
Oh and let us not forget…even though Meeka has a point regarding her comment… she did come on the show with a wrong agenda. She started playing two faced, taking one information and carrying it over to another and bringing it back. Yes, Meeka you are human, but you have to look at what was it that caused this conflict between you and the girls.
I totally agree! I felt Tammi was a bully last year and stated so on VH1.com Tammi bullied while ev, shaunie, and suzie sat back and laughed like it was a big joke. Now Ev pretends like she all of a sudden got this light bolt epiphany that bullying isnt funny. FULL OF IT! these women are trying to get in the good graces of the public so Ev can get her spin off, and Tammi can get her role on a new series. As long as the public stands against them their future TV endeavors are mute! I think the only reason people werent as outraged last season about the Tammi bullying Meeka is because Meeka defended herself, unlike kesha.
You are of a darker breed of black so support bypassed you
I agree with Media, however she did feed into the mess but that’s no excuse for Macho Man Tammi to touch her. She pick on everybody, she’s just a bully with no or low self-esteem. She has deep issues that no show can help her with and to be honest I feel sorry for her children, she’s totally embarrassing as a mother and a woman. On a different note she wanna be friends with Evelyn so bad she won’t dare fight her or they both just scared of each other. But after that episode with Tammi bullying Keysha I was done with the whole show….
* correction I agree with Meeka
tammy and evlyn nead to judment for bullying people they want people in their corner but am not because i was bulled for long time and also my mom that is why she passed in september 2012 because she did not speak her mind she always say it is going to be ok but it did’nt.
