It was time for Evelyn Lozada to walk away from “Basketball Wives.”
Evelyn Lozada had another controversial season of “Basketball Wives” before her departure. She was accused of racism by OG. And it stemmed from Evelyn using a laughing monkey emoji on her Instagram Story post amid their feud. OG believed that the emoji was referring to her. Evelyn denied this was the case. And she sued OG for defamation only for OG to countersue for emotional distress. So their legal battle was just more ammunition for them to not film any scenes together during Season 9.
OG and Evelyn didn’t return for the current season. Evelyn actually announced she was leaving the show before the cast started filming. In an interview, she said the show just became way too toxic. So she felt like it was time for her to end the chapter. It was an emotional decision for her to make. But she knew it was the right one for her.
Brooke Bailey and Brandi Maxiell think Evelyn Lozada should return.
Ahead of the Season 10 premiere of “Basketball Wives,” Evelyn responded to fans who said that they didn’t want to watch the new season without her. She assured them that the new season would be a great one with multiple “Basketball Wives LA” cast members returning. Brandi Maxiell is back and she’s no longer on good terms with Malaysia Pargo. So their scenes have been very intense. And Malaysia later claimed that Brandi’s real issue is that she was upset about being fired. Malaysia seems to think Brandi felt as if Malaysia should have done more to save her job or leave the show in solidarity.
Although the season hasn’t been lacking in drama and explosive moments, a couple of cast members have said they would love for Evelyn to return to the show. Brooke Bailey said this to a fan recently on Instagram while she was answering questions.
Brandi agrees but also said she’d like Tami Roman and Draya Michele to return as well.
When a follower asked Brandi who’d she like to return, she wrote, “**** I think Season 11 would be ???? if they added Shaunie, Draya, Evelyn, Tami, Laura…I think the viewers would want to see how we would all interact together.”
The show is always better when Evelyn and Tami are on it. But folks have to respect that they don’t want to be around each other anymore.
But if they all come back why would we really want(need) Brandi? Does she not understanding that they are the main characters overall and the ONLY reason she’s on now is cause they all said no and Shaunie had to scrape up what she could find to make this season worth filming? Dies she really think she’s gonna keep BBW going now that she’s a preacher’s wife?
Brandi isn’t writing any checks. She needs to make sure she keeps her spot. It’s getting old her blaming stuff on Malaysia
Trade the. For JACKIE. She’s in everybody’s business is trifling. Way too old to be on the show with these young girls. It’s time for Jackie 2 retire
