Despite Petition & Bullying Allegations :: Basketball Wives Picked Up For Another Season. Will You Tune In?

Despite fan complaints, celebrity disgust, and even a petition to get “Basketball Wives” off the air, it has just been announced that the controversial show has been renewed for a fifth season. Viewers have been very vocal about the direction that the show has been going in, and it seems like producers are listening to them. Shaunie O’Neal has recently been apologetic for the actions displayed on the show. On the reunion special, she stated:

“I feel that all these ladies take responsibility for what their actions are…and after seeing ourselves this season, it definitely was a lot more bad than good. I’ve really tried to preach the whole ‘Let’s get some balance,’ and now I think my voice is resonating.”

VH1 also released a statement:

“Our viewers’ opinions always matter a great deal to us at VH1. Lately, there has been a lot of conversation about “Basketball Wives”, a series featuring strong, intelligent women with very passionate viewpoints which can sometimes escalate. We at VH1 agree with and support Shaunie and the show producers’ ‘no excessive physical confrontations’ policy on the series moving forward. We are all committed to balancing the candid, bold excitement that the viewers have come to love in the series with storylines and representations they can be proud of.”

There is no word yet on which characters will stay on the show and what new ones will be added. Do you think that the current ladies on the show can get it together (namely the most feisty, Tami Roman & Evelyn Lozada), or do you think the show needs a whole new cast?
