‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Jackie Called out on Strained Relationship with Daughter + Tami Goes Off

Jackie Is really excited to be a grandma, again.

Jackie is calling all the BBW cast one by one to let them know that her 4th grandchild is born. She is also planning a party to celebrate being a Glam-Ma four times over.

Evelyn and Shaunie question Jackie’s treatment of Takari.

Evelyn is hesitant about accepting Jackie’s Glam-Ma party invitation over her treatment of Takari.

Shaunie and Evelyn wonder why she is celebrating this baby with the controversy surrounding Takari Lee’s child and Evelyn. Both Evelyn and Shaunie decide they aren’t going to attend.

“This party is going to be all bad for me.” -Evelyn

Jackie meets with Christen Metoyer.

Cristen Metoyer is is dating retired NBA player Joe Crawford. She and Joe aren’t sure what to do after basketball. He played for seven years and they have a daughter. She wants a ring but remains patient for now. She doesn’t have the best relationship with her sister Aja (D-Wade’s Baby Mama) and Melissa, but they are working things out.

Tami talks to her boyfriend Reggie about her issues with Jackie and Evelyn.

Tami talks about being invited to Jackie’s Glam-Ma party but is hesitant about going. She did not like how Jackie “allowed” Evelyn to talk about her and call her names.

She doesn’t feel like her friendship with Jackie is genuine at this point.

Her boyfriend convinces her to go to the party and to take “the high road.”

The Glam-Ma party goes left.

Tami meets up with Jackie’s new friends Aja, Christen and Melissa Metoyer. She feels out of place since she’s hanging out with people “20-30 years younger.”

Keonna is mad that Eleana showed up while Jackie is mad that Evelyn and Shaunie didn’t show up. When Jackie brings up the two now showing up, Tami speaks up and calls her out on not defending her.

Jackie explains what happened with her and Evelyn at the dog rescue event, and things begin to escalate between Jackie and Tami.

“…you let them talk about me like a mothaf***in dog!” -Tami

Both have a shouting match shortly after and Jackie eventually admits she did not read the text message Tami sent her.

“You don’t know what a friend is…” -Tami

Tami walked out of the event and Jackie is heated.

Cristen goes to check on Tami.

Tami says, “[she] is the most loyal person on the planet and does not do drama.”

Meanwhile Jackie hangs out with the new cast members. Keonna and Elena begin to argue yet again over Elena telling Keonna that she texted Nick Young.

“You started finding one thousand and one ways to tell me you texted [Nick].” -Keonna

Keonna insists that she doesn’t care that Elena and Nick had a text message relationship, but Elena can’t tell since Keonna has been hostile to her ever since she made the revelation.

Jackie and Tami have yet another showdown.

When Jackie decides to leave the party, she walks past Tami and Tami calls her out for rolling her eyes at her. That’s when Jackie decides to get back in Tami’s face and they once again began arguing.

“Do not come for me, unless you want me to come for you back.” -Jackie

“You threw me under the mothaf***in bus!” -Tami

Tami also believes that Evelyn secretly wants to compete with her.

“Everything Evelyn does in LA, is about me!” -Tami

The friendship between Evelyn and Jackie seems to be severely strained and there may not be any coming back from this.

Shaunie gives Evelyn her IVF shot.

Evelyn lets Shaunie know about her IVF treatment and needs her to give her another “shot.”

“The most important thing in this world right now is to get pregnant… I feel like I’m supposed to have another child.” – Evelyn

Shaunie freaks out at the request because she does not like needles but she reluctantly accepts her request.

Meanwhile, Tami hopes Jackie won’t show up to her book signing event.

Tami celebrates the release of her book, “Mistress 101.” Tami tells her side of the story between the beef between her and Jackie to her daughters. She feels something isn’t right about Jackie, and decides not to invite Jackie to her book signing.

Her daughters feel she shouldn’t “bring ratchet” to the event and agree with the non-invite.

Jackie and Evelyn have another sit down.

Jackie invited Evelyn out to find out why she didn’t come to the party. Evelyn skirts around the issue but does say Jackie, “dropped the ball” when it came to her daughter Takari.

Jackie then shows Evelyn the message she left on Takari’s private social media page. Evelyn reiterates that she meant no harm by the message. Jackie also reiterates she has been there for Takari and her grandchildren.

“To me, it’s just excuses but Ima let her speak.” -Evelyn

Evelyn thinks Tami is trying to stir the pot between her and Jackie.

“Evelyn is making a lot of sense right now. You just don’t cross Jackie Christie like that.”- Jackie

Jackie then tells Evelyn about the argument she had with Tami at her party.

“We’re older, not in high school anymore. This is sad.” – Evelyn

At the end of the conversation, the two seem to be friendly again, despite the Takari issue.

Tami’s first book signing.

Tami is really excited about the book signing. It’s in a major bookstore in LA and the turn out is great. Even Jennifer Williams made an appearance. Everything was great for her until Jackie showed up. Jackie brought a gift and apologized for the blow up.

“Jackie knows she was not invited… she was trying to get a rise out of me and guess what b****, I have risen!” – Tami

When Jackie approaches her to talk about their fallout, Tami makes it clear where she stands.

“I respect Doug… and I would never punch his wife in the face.” -Tami to Jackie

Tami ended up being pulled away by her daughters and Jackie is left frustrated and confused.

  1. Tami is very insecure and childish. She thinks Evelyn cares about her enough to compete but Evelyn is just chilling watching her spiral out of control.

  2. The truth is Tami is just mad that people are cool with Evelyn when she’s not. She is 50 years old and still behaves like a high schooler.

  3. What is Tami mad at again? Evelyn didn’t say anything to warrant all this. She said Tami is crazy and paranoid and that’s factual.
