[Updated] BBallWives Cast Boycotting Reunion Show Because of Jennifer’s Lawsuit Against Nia
This season of Basketball Wives has proven to be quite a doozy. On the most recent episode, we watched an altercation between Nia Crooks (Evelyn’s assistant) and cast-mate, Jennifer Williams, that involved a slap of sorts. Each party (Nia, Evelyn and Jenn) voiced their versions of the story to the media (via interviews and personal blogs) and we’ve also learned that Jenn has slapped Nia back with a lawsuit (for assault), claiming that she was badly injured during the attack.
And because of the lawsuit (that Jenn is hitting Nia with), we hear that several Basketball Wives have refused to tape the upcoming reunion show next month. Cast mates say that Jenn’s lawsuit was filed out of spite and desperation,
“to dredge up drama around her character — in the vain hope of securing a spot on the show next season”.
Some of the cast have refused to speak to her (film, we assume) and are threatening not to attend the reunion show early next month. Exactly who are the cast members that refuse to attend the reunion? No one has been confirmed, but we ASSUME Evelyn, Tami and PERHAPS Shaunie (who usually stays clear of direct conflict).
UPDATED: Tami Roman has responded to the recent rumor that ‘certain’ cast mates may boycott the reunion show. She tells Sister 2 Sister,
“Many things have transpired over the past few weeks, in which certain individuals feel uncomfortable in each others’ space. We are working out the details to ensure that ‘Basketball Wives’ brings a high energy, fun and eventful reunion to the viewers.”
Meanwhile, Tami’s twitter reflects a different perspective. She appears to have NEVER heard about the boycott.
With that said, if Tami nor Evelyn didn’t participate in the reunion, would you watch? [Source]
