Evelyn Lozada is one reality television star that people love to hate. And that is understandable considering that the feisty Latina chucked wine bottles at her cast mates on Basketball Wives. Evelyn has been portrayed as one of the most violent women on the show, and she’s always in the middle of the cat fights that helped the show garner massive ratings. But after the show was protested for being too violent (thanks to Evelyn and Tami Roman), Shaunie confirmed that changes would be made to the show. In in lure of Evelyn’s own violent ending to her marriage with Chad Johnson, it’s clear that it really is time for the show to take a different direction.
In a recent interview with Hip Hollywood, Evelyn talked about what to expect from what she says will be an emotional new season of Basketball Wives, handling the criticism she received from making an appearance with Chad Johnson, and Chris Brown and Rihanna’s rekindled romance.
On the upcoming season of BBW, she says:
“I’m really, really proud of this season because the world sees us growing. And we’re very transparent. I think that’s why so many people love our show because we show all sides. Bad, great, angry, crying… so we’re just very open and I think this season a lot of people will find it very emotional because all of us are going through something individually.”
Evelyn also explains where she and Chad currently stand:
“At the end of the day, I don’t really care what anyone says. That’s my ex husband. I went to dinner. I wish him the best. We don’t hate each other. Something happened, we’ll forever be connected because of it. But I still have relationships with his kids and that’s something that means something to me. Everyone can have an opinion about that, we genuinely care about each other. I wish him the best.”
And she explains how she feels about the fact that Chris Brown and Rihanna receive so much criticism for getting back together:
“Rihanna’s personal business is her personal business but at the same time, her and Chris was broken up for two years.
“She was doing her thing and I’m sure he was doing whatever it is he was doing. And in the midst of it, I’m sure he got help. To each its own. I wish her the best. You never know what’s going on behind close doors. We’re all quick to judge and assume and you just never know.
“But she’s a great person and I love her for not caring about what the world thinks and just doing her. I wish her the best whether she’s with Chris or not.”

I can’t wait until BBW is cancelled.
You aren’t the only one!
I honestly wish Evelyn would go away. Is that too much to ask?
lol agreed
Eh, Rihanna doesn’t treat her business like “personal business” though. She puts everything on Instagram. So if she puts it out there, people can form their opinions. She was the one who wanted the world to know she’s back with Chris and smokes weed. There’s nothing private about Rihanna.
#TRUTH. If people don’t want to be judged, keep your business off the internet. That simple.
Sigh…whatever. She irks me.
Evelyn is only hanging with Rihanna for press. She’s such a leach.
So who is Ev going to bully now? And Ev should never speak on any sort of domestic abuse ever again. When Chad head-butted her, he killed plenty of brain cells.
I wonder if anyone will throw a bottle at Evelyn this season?
Ok so is it mandatory now for every “star” to have a opinion about Chris and Rihanna? Stop the madness.
