‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Evelyn Drops a Bomb on Malaysia + Jackie Comes Unhinged

Tami struggles to find a surrogate.

Tami spends time with Reggie and her daughter Jazz to go over getting a surrogate. Jazz is concerned about the woman stealing the baby and Reggie is concerned about he size of the woman.

They all begin to interview various women and it seems to go weird. None of the women passed their interview screening.

They re-evaluate their thought process behind hiring a surrogate.

Saniy’yah and Evelyn have plenty to discuss.

Saniy’yah invites Evelyn out for drinks and a manicure but she isn’t too thrilled about it. Evelyn arrives, they sip mimosas and get right to recapping the Palm Springs trip. Evelyn felt like Saniy’yah was disrespectful towards Cristen. “I feel like you hurt Cristen’s feelings with things you said.”

Saniy’yah is apologetic for her behavior. “I am going to be the bigger person, apologize and accept all the responsibility for everything that happened in Palm Springs.” Evelyn feels Saniy’yah is being humble and she believes her apology is sincere. Saniy’yah wants to hash things out with Cristen and will plan an event to do so.

Meet Hazel.

Tami meets BBW newbie Hazel. Tami says Hazel is “like her adopted niece.”

She is a WAG whose ex, Jacob Pullen, plays overseas. She has a recurring role on Fox’s “Empire” and is putting out an EP.

Hazel also knows Shaunie, Jackie and Saniy’yah.

Jacob and Hazel are just co-parenting as of now and she is single. However, she is open to getting back together with him.

Brandi and Malaysia prep for war with the OG’s.

Brandi and Malaysia are hanging out on Melrose and they once again recap Palm Springs. Malaysia is really frustrated with Evelyn and how she was treated at the dinner. Malaysia says in her green screen interview, “I would never plus-one to any of your events because they are not popping enough for me to want to plus one it.”

She then tells Brandi that she received an invite via email.

Malaysia also tells Brandi how Bonnie-Jill came for her, and took up for the Miami girls while they were hanging out with Jackie.

“She is just Evelyn, Tami and Shaunie’s little minion.”- Malaysia

Lastly, she tells Brandi that she will get to the bottom of it all.

“My thing is, you’re going to respect me b****. This is my town and you’re not going to disrespect me so f*** you and the horse you rode in on.” – Malaysia

Evelyn learns Jackie has been shady.

The OG’s hang out with Bonnie-Jill at Shaunie’s house for some pre-game action before they head to Saniy’yah’s get together.

Evelyn learned about Jackie flipping from talking smack about Shaniy’yah behind her back to befriending her. Evelyn says, “I am going to be messy today,” telling the other ladies that she plans to confront Jackie.

Bonnie tells the OG’s Jackie said Saniy’yah is a liability. Evelyn will address this at Saniy’yah’s event. Bonnie-Jill also speaks about Malaysia feeling some type of way about Brandi being closed out and and the OG’s not speaking to her. Bonnie-Jill also tells the ladies that Brandi just happened to be in Palm Springs to visit family.

Evelyn feels Malaysia was being fake.

“You being there opened the door to your girl setting up an ambush.” -Evelyn

The ladies are ready to handle all this gossip with everyone.

“We gon see err body!” -Shaunie

War is unleashed at Saniy’yah’s.

Jackie arrives first, saying in her green screen interview, “Malaysia has issues with some of the girls and I am not sure where I fit into all of this.”

Cristen arrives and is hesitant about being there after everything that has happened. She is cordial with everyone but Jackie, who didn’t hug her.

“I didn’t want a hug from you anyway, you nasty b****.” – Cristen

Jackie seemed drunk already, talking reckless about douching with pineapple juice, once again making the ladies feel uncomfortable.

Later on, Saniy’yah pulled Cristen to the side and the two have a sit-down. Saniy’yah apologized for her behavior in Palm Springs and spreading Aja’s abortion rumor. Cristen accepts her apology saying, “It takes a big person to admit she is wrong.”

Meanwhile, the OG’s are riding in the limo, focusing on their mission. They are prepared to confront Malaysia about Brandi and Jackie for talking behind Saniy’yah’s back.

As relaxed as the party is, things turn serious as the OG’s arrive with Bonnie-Jill. Malaysia’s like, “They tried to walk in like a retro singing group.” The OG’s were cordial with everyone but Malaysia who didn’t get up from the table to greet them.

Malaysia instead jumps right into the beef with the ladies.

Malaysia finds out why Brandi was iced out.

Malaysia asks Tami about why she is mad at Malaysia for bringing Brandi to the dinner in Palm Springs. Tami says, “I had several conversations with you about this. I did not want to be around Brandi at this time. When she showed up at that place, it felt like a ‘F*** you Tami.’”

Things get heated when Evelyn says, “To keep it 100, you weren’t invited either.”

Malaysia then turns to Evelyn and says she “was not trying to disrespect her weekend because I am all pro of procreation.” Tami hilariously responds, “That’s not a word. I’m tired of y’all saying motherf***ing words that’s not words.”

This causes Malaysia and Tami conversation to escalate.

“I’m gonna say whatever the f*** I want to say.” -Malaysia

“Well use it correctly because you look stupid as f***.” -Tami

Eventually, Tami gets up from the table, and pulls out a cigarette letting Malaysia know she’s ready of things end up popping off. However, Malaysia remains at the table and turns her focus to Evelyn.

Evelyn jumps in and says, “this dinner was supposed to be a celebration for my IVF journey that I had everyone there for. Your homegirl rolling in was shady.” Then Evelyn asks Malaysia if she told Brandi about the Palm Springs trip, Malaysia admits to texting her about the dinner.

Evelyn gets angry saying, “If this is my BFF and I know that my girl is not wanted somewhere, I’m not gonna have her roll up and play herself.”

Malaysia then asks what her issue with Brandi is, Evelyn responds by saying, “My issue with her is the reason why I’m here is because they told me she wasn’t gonna be here,” possibly referring to Brandi and Malaysia only being on a few episodes this season.

Malaysia, confused, asks “Why wouldn’t I be here?” She then realizes Evelyn is referring to her and Brandi being cut from the cast but later being asked back. All of a sudden, Shaunie jumps in and responds, “It was more of a substance issue.” Malaysia then asks, “So what you’re saying is that I don’t have any substance?’ Shaunie responds with, “…yeah.” This hits Malaysia like a ton of bricks with her clapping back saying, “Well, I feel like you don’t have any neither.”

This causes Malaysia and Shaunie to start an argument, somewhat. Shaunie basically feels like Malaysia isn’t bringing anything to the table and just keeps getting childish when they approach her about this.

“It’s like, kind of high school, you know what I mean?” -Shaunie

Bonnie interjects and says she agrees with Shaunie, even saying Malaysia doesn’t have a career.

Malaysia then tells Bonnie she has several careers but she wouldn’t know that since they don’t talk.

Jackie tries to attack Bonnie.

Evelyn brings up Jackie talking behind Shaniy’yah’s back.

Jackie asks Bonnie-Jill to explain what she said. Bonnie-Jill said that Jackie said Saniy’yah is a liability. Cristen jumps in and agrees with Bonnie-Jill. Eventually, Jackie jumps from the table and tries to physically confront Bonnie-Jill.

“You need to see my eyes and know that I am pissed. Now you have to deal with the wrath of Kahn.” – Jackie

Saniy’yah, Tami and Malaysia try their best to calm down Jackie.

In her green screen interview, Evelyn is surprised to see this. “Bonnie wants to save all the dogs. Bonnie wants to save the ozone layer. She just wants to save s***.”

Despite trying to hold her back, Jackie escapes their clutches and goes after her again.

She is once again restrained and it’s clear that things are only going to get worse with the group.

  1. Malaysia is making a big deal out of something silly. Why does anyone have to film wth Brandi? If they make the show like they claim, why do they care so much about the “Golden Girls”? LOL.

  2. I think Shaunie told the truth. Malaysia really doesn’t bring much to the show anymore. She’s annoying and so is Brandy. I honestly rather all the Miami girls come back. At least they were entertaining.

  3. I’m still confused as to why Malaysia is blowing up this Brandi situation. Everyone is not going to like your bff. It’s not that serious.

  4. Malaysia seemed so defeated and out of place last night, she really needs to just give it up and Jackie is acting a fool only because she don’t want to loose her spot on the show she’s not fooling anyone she know she’s up next!
