Evelyn Lozada Explains Why She & Jennifer Are Former BFF’s + Ochocinco Wants Evelyn To ‘Make Amends’ With Jennifer
Thursday evening, the drama between Basketball Wives cast mates (and former best friends) Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozada escalated on Twitter. Click here for the back story. Fast forward to the present day and Evelyn expands on why she spazzed out on twitter via an interview with The Insider. Peep a few excerpts.
TheInsider.com: What ultimately happened that ended the relationship?
Evelyn Lozada: She did something publicly that pissed me off. I can’t say, because the season isn’t out yet, but let’s just say she did something else publicly that really pissed me off. If you go back and you search any interviews I’ve done, I don’t ever really discuss the other ladies. Once I’m done with the show, I’m done with the show. But Jennifer, she’s agreed to do every interview, she’s constantly talking, talking, talking. And that’s my issue. Last season so many radio stations wanted to talk to me. And I never talked about her. But she can’t help herself. I had loyalty towards her. But she agrees to do these things. And I was quiet until yesterday. I finally exploded.
TheInsider.com: I saw an interview Jennifer did recently that said you were jealous of her friendship with NeNe Leakes. Why would she think that?
Evelyn Lozada: That’s really what threw me over the edge because Jennifer, you’re lying. We’re two months into filming and she KNOWS what the issue is. So why would you go on an interview and say my issue is with you being friends with NeNe? That’s what pissed me off. I’m cool with NeNe! Don’t make it seem like I’m hating on your friendship with other women, because I could care less! Jennifer went on vacation with a close friend of mine. I don’t care who you hang out with. I ended up calling NeNe and let her know ‘I don’t have an issue with you.’ Stop putting people into this. That baffled me. I don’t know what her angle is.
TheInsider.com: Why did you take it to twitter?
Evelyn Lozada: People were hitting me up about her interview. Bloggers, everyone. And I felt like I needed to address it. And that’s when I said what I said on twitter. Why are you doing an interview when you’re lying?
TheInsider.com: Clear this up. Does Jennifer actually wear colored contacts?
Evelyn Lozada: Jennifer will only take those things out when she goes to sleep. In ten years I have rarely seen her without contacts [Laughs].
