“Basketball Wives” head honcho Shaunie O’Neal nearly gave Brandi Maxiell a heart attack after she told her that her services were no longer needed just seconds after Brandi told Shaunie she was acting like a b*tch.

BBWLA fans have been wondering since the reunion about Brandi’s status for returning for the upcoming season and now Shaunie is opening up about her fate.

  1. So to sum this sh-t up, Shaunie was once again put in her place and reminded by VH1 that she has no pull whatsoever. Lmao.

  2. When is Shaunie going to stop pretending like she has a say so with what happens with casting? She’s no Mona Scott Young and never will be.

    1. I think Shaunie needs to keep pretending for her ego. She needs to believe she’s some business woman but she’s really not. She wants to be more than just Shaq’s ex wife and I get that, but at least play the game smart and make sure you can get some actual clout over the shows you pitch.

    2. Mona is just plain smarter than Shaunie. But I think Mona had more connections because she was in the music business for a very long time. It was easy for her to transition into reality television.

  3. It sounds like both of them were fronting. Shaunie doesn’t have the power to fire Brandi and Brandi wasn’t the thug she was pretending to be on Twitter. She was behind the scenes begging for her job back. LOL.

  4. Huh??????? I am sure if someone told Mona Scott she was a B….they would be fired. Look at what happened to “No neck” Benzino and Hoe-thea….they had a lot of mouth and attitude towards production and ended up losing their jobs LMAO….Shaunie knows damn well if she really had pull a lot of bishes would be jobless on #BBWLA

  5. Shaunie sounds dumb. When she told Brandi her services were no longer needed she was firing her. She only had to take it back because VH1 shut that down. And that’s how you know BBW isn’t really her show. She’s just a puppet. And she was forced to be on BBWLA too just like the employee she is.

  6. Shaunie is to BBWLA what Mariah is to Married to Medicine…an EP in name only with no hiring or firing power. She needs to quit fronting!

  7. Well all this does is remind people how very different Shaunie and Mona are. Mona actually has a real background in business and she’s been making deals in the industry for over 20 years. So she’s great at negotiating and she was able to strike a real deal with VH1 that gives her true power. Shaunie got most of her wealth from her divorce from Shaq. She would do herself a favor by taking some business and negotiating classes so she wouldn’t be pushed around by VH1 all the time.
