‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Kristen & OG Beef + Jackie Goes to Therapy

As Evelyn & Jackie continue their argument, Kristen and O.G. have one of their own.

The episode continues with Evelyn and Jackie arguing. They ended up telling each other to “shut the f*** up.”

In her interview, Evelyn calls their argument stupid. Jackie says she’s upset with herself because she got emotional. Tami decided to leave before she ended up arguing with Evelyn.

Jackie then confronts Jennifer for stirring the pot. However, Jennifer says she isn’t messy and has too much going on, referring to her legal issue with Tim Norman.

“One thing I’m not is messy.” – Jennifer

After Tami left, O.G. sat down and joined the foursome. O.G. brought up why Evelyn and Jackie are arguing about the subject if they don’t want to talk about it anymore. But the way she said this, she rubbed Kristen the wrong way.

“She tried to insert herself, like a tampon. She’s just stuck all up in there.” – Kristen

Suddenly, Kristen and O.G. go off to the side to have an argument of their own. Kristen didn’t appreciate O.G. trying to interject into Evelyn and Jackie’s argument.

“I went to school, I have a degree.” – Kristen

“I have two.” – O.G.

Things really get messy when O.G. throws shade at her husband when Kristen says she’s leaving the party, back to her husband.

“Where’s your Husband?” – O.G.

“With my baby.” – Kristen

“Is he?” – O.G.

Kristen walks outs angry, cussing at O.G. under her breath, and talking about her outfit and headpiece. OG talks with her boyfriend Kwame about how “disrespectful” Kristen was to her.

“She came in with Kunta & Kinte on her head.” – Kristen

Shaunie gets her son Miles into the weed business.

Meanwhile, Shaunie is with her son to meet their real estate agent in LA. She’s looking for the right location to host their dispensary.

Shaunie thinks her son Miles can run and manage the business. She also wants to have a soft opening on 4/20.

The next day, Shaunie meets up with Evelyn, Jennifer and Kristen to hear about what happened at Jackie and O.G.’s party. Kristen criticizes what O.G. wore to her party. Shaunie feels Kristen fits in with the group with all of her shade throwing.

During their conversation, Kristen did not take too kindly to O.G. shading her husband. Evelyn and Jennifer also recap Evelyn’s confrontation with Jackie and Tami.

Shaunie wants to get Tami’s perspective about what happened.

Kristen is at home with her baby Kenzo, feeding her. Thomas shows up and she asks if he’s ready for another child. Kristen says she wants a kid but, “I don’t want to get pregnant tonight.” Thomas isn’t ready for a kid.

Tami tells Shaunie isn’t here for Jennifer stirring the pot.

Tami and Shaunie hang out and they recap the party. Shaunie reveals that Jennifer ran back and told Evelyn and Tami about the comments Shaunie said about Tami.

While Tami tells Shaunie that she’d appreciated if Shaunie laughed at both sides, she feels Jennifer is stirring the pot, again.

“So, Jennifer. Here we go again. I need you to stay and handle your business before I have to hurt a b****.” – Tami

Kristen tries to get Thomas to loosen up about making another baby.

Kristen and Thomas take a date with a bartending class, and learn how to make a Moscow Mule. Kristen tries to toast to making a baby boy, but Thomas jokingly declines. She hopes their date can result in baby making.

However, the drinks may be too strong and Kristen fears that he may be too messed up to complete the deed.

Meanwhile, Shaunie joins Jennifer and Tami for makeup shopping. Jennifer wishes that Evelyn and Tami can work out and resolve their issues. But Tami says things have been tense for the past 8 years.

Tami also wants Jennifer to stop trying to play mediator between her and Evelyn.

Jackie learns a harsh truth from Chantel.

Chantel stops by Jackie’s apartment. Jackie doesn’t feel good about getting angry about the pool party, arguing about the Go Fund Me.

Chantel says that she hasn’t spoke to Ta’Kari in a while, and she feels that she shares blame in the strain in all of their family relationships.

“We’re not a family of hugs.” – Jackie

“You never hugged me.” – Chantel

Jackie says her daughters are independent and she raised strong daughters.

“But how do you know I didn’t want that?” – Chantel

In her interview, she feels she needs help.

Shaunie is at home, talking to her mom Dear. Shaunie reveals to Dear her new business idea.

“I am going to be a legal drug dealer.” – Shaunie

‘Oh my god!” – Shaunie’s mom

Dear was shocked to hear that Shainie wants to sell her tea and pound cake in the dispensary. She’s also shocked to hear the Miles will be involved in the business. She then jokes with her mom that her church friends smoke weed.

Jennifer manages to get Evelyn and Malaysia to be friendly.

Later that night, Jenifer appears to be stirring the pot once more. This time, Jenifer is bringing Evelyn and Malaysia together to talk and get to know each other. Malaysia tells Jennifer that she doesn’t have an issue with Evelyn.

Malaysia notes she’s been keeping her distance from the both of them after they put out the Cece rumor. When they arrive, they meet Evelyn in their booth. The conversation starts awkwardly.

Jennifer brings up to Evelyn that she and Malaysia have an issue with each other.

Evelyn notes her issue was with only Jackie. She tells Malaysia that she considers Jackie a “black cloud.”

Malaysia reiterates that her and Jackie don’t share the same opinions.

“But we’re not high school.” – Malaysia

Evelyn says that she just wants to be happy and mind her business. Both agree there’s no beef and they can be friendly.

Jackie heads to therapy.

Finally, Jackie heads to Silicon Beach Psychotherapy for counseling regarding her relationship with her daughters. She starts by saying that she was reluctant to talk to anyone about this.

During the session, she says she hurt people “because they hurt me.”

“It’s time to fix that.” – Jackie

They talk about how she reacted on the show when it came to her daughter. The therapist asks when she began to do this (display rage).

Jackie says she was about 8. At this time, she had to go into foster care. She brings up a time when the foster mom separated her food from her biological children’s food.

“She said if they get hungry, they can eat their fingernails.” – Jackie

The therapist says Jackie needs to allow her inner child to heal from her pain. Throughout this session, Jackie learns that there are many things she’s avoided confronting.

The therapist tells Jackie she needs to forgive herself as much as she needs or wants to.

  1. Jen is stirring the pot like they paid her too. I’m just waiting for her and Evelyn to fall out again. I know it’s coming.

  2. Tami told Reggie & Jen that she felt some kind of way that Shaunie laughed at Evelyn’s joke about her but didn’t laugh at her joke about Evelyn. She get in front of Shaunie and backpedaled saying she was bothered that Shaunie didn’t laugh “period” because it’s tough being up there Lol. P.S. Shaunie laughed last season when Tami said Evelyn fucked her way through 3 player associations. In other news OG reminds me of Marlo, she just seem there to cause conflict.
