Malaysia Pargo isn’t the only one exiting “Basketball Wives.”

Basketball Wives” fans were critical of the latest season. Malaysia Pargo departed the show well before the season’s end. As we reported, she took issue with Jennifer Williams alleging that her Atlanta home was lost via foreclosure. At the time, Malaysia had been vocal about her co-parenting situation. She alleged that Jannero Pargo wasn’t doing much to help financially with their children. So she was really frustrated. And she decided to put her mental health first. Interestingly enough, Brandi Maxiell said that Malaysia’s choice to go didn’t make sense to her. She said Malaysia should have stayed because the check should have been a bigger priority.

Jackie Christie later said that Malaysia did what was best for her. And she told Carlos King that Malaysia’s mental health took a hit while she filmed the last season. Malaysia being at odds with the majority of the cast certainly didn’t help things either.

Well, it seems as if Brandi’s time on the show has come to an end, too. Weeks after DJ Duffey confirmed she would not be returning for the next season, it looks like Brandi is out as well.

The upcoming season of “Basketball Wives” will feature the return of Evelyn Lozada and notable new faces.

Hours ago, photographer and blogger LA Gossip shared exclusive photos of the “Basketball Wives” cast filming the new season. Evelyn Lozada, Brooke Bailey, Jennifer Williams, and Jackie were there. But Brandi, Brittish Williams, and Angel Brinks were not in attendance. And they were seemingly replaced by Brittany Renner, Jac’Eil, and Vanessa Rider.

Brittany Renner has made quite the name for herself due to her past with Drake. She also has a child with NBA player PJ Washington. He plays for the Charlotte Hornets.

Jac’Eil is currently dating WNBA player Natasha Howard. Natasha plays for the Dallas Wings.

Vanessa Rider is the wife of former NBA player Isaiah Rider. Teams he played for include the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers.

Evelyn Lozada’s return to the show comes as she recently confirmed she is engaged. She met her fiancé Lavon Lewis while she filmed “Queens Court.” The plot of the show focused on Evelyn, Tamar Braxton, and Nivea’s search for love following complications in past relationships. Tamar and Evelyn walked away with engagements.

She previously departed the show amid her ongoing legal battle with OG.

      1. I’m glad Brandi is gone and Jennifer forgot how her ex husband humiliated her on the show Malasia is very classy because she didn’t give Jennifer the energy but Jennifer act like she better and Brandi was only back on basketball wives because her ex bestie had a conversation with Shawni that’s how she was able to return because she was originally fired but we all know she needed that check

    1. I’m glad Brandi and Angel are gone, but when will grandma dressing Jackie leave? I absolutely can’t stand that woman, never have!!!

  1. I’m so glad Ms. “Above It All” Brandi is out. And Ms. “Cry Me A River” Angel is out. But, Ms. “I’m Super Bad Now” Jennifer is still there. Oh well, we can’t have everything we want in life.The

  2. …plot thickens! Ms. “I’m More Than Shaunie’s Friend” Evelyn bought to bring the drama! I’m with it!!

    1. I don’t think Evelyn should come back she has too many accomplishments and the drama could derail that.

      1. What accomplishes???? None she had to come back she need that check Tammy is the only one doing good the rest of them hoes don’t have nothing going on

        1. Shirley!!!!! Maaannn Tammy (my girl) is THEE only one with many accomplishments. Tammy’s on so many shows.
          Just 2023 alone, Tammy has:
          The Ms. Pat Show (TV)
          The Family Business (TV)
          Haus of Vicious (TV)
          Girl in the (movie) – Acted her azz off!!
          And another TV show on Apple+ TV
          Tammy is still married to Reggie and has many many things coming up.

          Evelyn has:
          Reality TV dating show – Found a fiancé

      2. Definitely not return! She has a better chance at happiness & privacy without thus show.it never ever shows them in a positive state always degrading each other and I believe it will ruin her relationship.

        1. I’d rather watch Brandi than Evelyn any day.. wanna be Afro Latina a-s. Let’s hope it gets picked up with the VH1/BET sales going on RN.

  3. Bye Brandi. I was not interested nor vested in her story or bullying mean girl behaviors. I’m glad they have fresh faces and Evelyn cane back. Let’s see if Jennifer will have the same behavior

    1. @Dee, you are so right! Let’s see if BBW’s new mean girl Jennifer can keep up her act. But, I have to admit that I liked when Evelyn and Jennifer were friendly. They were cute! 😀

      1. Me too! I really liked their friendship and thought they were actually fun and funny together. It was so sad how things went down,but I am happy to see fresh faces and hopefully get back to more fun with fashion!🥰

    2. Nope. I was saying this from last season. Now, that Evelyn is coming back. Jennifer will not be that bold, or talk nasty to others. Jackie keeps it cute, and walk away. Evelyn will throw Jen into next week. Jennifer will run not walk away from the show. Malaysia should come back to show.. Especially,
      now that Evelyn is back. God Bless everyone.

  4. Didn’t care much for the shoe last season due to Jennifer’s antics. Really won’t be watching now that Evelyn’s back.

  5. I don’t like Jennifer.Lets see if she gonna be mean to Evelyn. I’m glad Brandi gone. They better be glad Malaysia not like she used to be cause they some whooped ukw.

  6. Is Jennifer and Evelyn’s friendship back on? I can’t keep up. I thought they were off due to them residing in separate houses on a trip (when OG was on the show). Oh well. I just want my girls Brooke and Evelyn to get along. Jackie….she can go. She’s too old for the amount of nonsense she either creates or is involved in.

  7. Evelyn came back to give Jennifer a SPANKING for trying to act out last season…I am EXCITED Evelyn FINE self is back and the have some woman that have some kind of BASKETBALL connection ABOUT TIME

  8. The show needs to end. Brandi looks miserable all the time. Due to her husband refuses to move to LA with their son she needs the depart to save what is left of her marriage. Duffy seems to be a good DJ she better protect her brand. The show is all the other ladies source of income. Angel Brinks, when was the last time she sold a dress?

    1. Just recently. I think you need to check her stats. Summer Walker just wore one of her custom dresses. There are other celebrities as well. Angel Brinks line is very successful.

  9. NOT glad to see Evelyn! Jennifer can go too!!! Brooke can go!!!! British is a STONE COLD BACK STABBIN
    TROUBLEMAKER. Maybe the new members can bring back life to the show. Seemed like a bunch of bickering bobbleheads!

  10. I’m glad Brandi is leaving she act like that was the Brandi show I was getting sick of her. Angel I liked her but she was very boring and Duffy glad she’s gone so glad we’re getting new people glad Evelyn is coming back.

  11. Meh…just end this neverending saga! It has ran it’s course and has exceeded its expiration date.

  12. Ok you no I believe the reason British isn’t back is because she really getting ready to do some hard prison time I can’t believe all the felonies charges thar girl have under her belt

  13. I’m glad that I stopped watching the show a LONG time ago but even more happy now that Shaunie’s boo thang Evelyn is coming back. So not right because she made that racist comment to Cleve and nothing happens and is always fighting people, throwing objects, just being dangerous but that was okay in Shaunie’s eyes but OG was so dangerous…BS…big bad Evelyn met her match and the b-tch had to bow down and pick on OG knowing that Shaunie’s would take her side right or wrong. Just cancel the show…and I totally agree…go get your v-gina checked Brandi is gone!!

  14. Jackie needs to go.
    Jackie needs to go.
    Jackie needs to go.

    Keep whomever, but
    Jackie needs to go.

  15. I’m glad that Brandi is gone. She really thought she was the star of the show. Like she was running things. She’s a bitter person. She blames everyone for except herself.

  16. To be honest enough to say, they all needs to walk away and stop this messy drama. Let’s stay Classy and Beautiful ladies,find another way to “check the bag!” Let’s stop degrading one another, lift each & cheer for one another!

  17. A lot of people got a lot to say bout Jackie. I love Jackie and how she say what she mean and mean what she say PRIOD!!!!!

    1. I’m with U when U right! Bc Jackie will never let anyone bully her. Whatever type of time they want to be on, Jackie’s is on it too. I love Jackie on BBW!

  18. Look like I couldn’t spell earlier as I was saying I love Jackie. She about the only one that say what she mean and mean what she say…PERIOD!!!!

  19. This foolishness should now be called Basketball EX-wives, girlfriends and side pieces! Only Jackie is married to an EX basketball player (I believe). These women on these “reality” shows are mothers and GRANDmothers and are too old for all this fussin and cussin. Can we have a show that provides uplifting??? I guess ratchet still sells.

  20. I’m glad Brandi is gone. She needs to focus on therapy the way she holds on to grudges. Glad to see Eve back.

  21. It’s crazy that Brandi is saying a check is priority over health when she’s a breast cancer survivor. She’s so full of schitt. Evelyn finally has something to talk about…..her new fiancé. But I’m glad someone is her to put Jennifer BACK in her place. Bless Angel’s heart… she’s finally gotten her BB family and now she’s not going to be on the show. I guess VH1 wanted her boyfriend and Mr. Ball (or somebody smartly said h-ll no!

  22. I hope Malaysia. Come back. She was my Favorite. Person and Jackie. Can stay. Dufffy needs to come back the other I could car less

  23. OMGEEE, IM HAPPY TO HEAR BRANDI NOT RETURNING. I HATE ANGEL WON’T RETURN THOUGH. I’M ELATED THT EVELYN IS RETURNING AND I SOOO WISH JENNIFER WOULD GO AWAY. SHE’S NOT INTERESTING AT ALL. SHE’S SNOODIE AND ENTITLED, AND NEED TO GO BE W THOSE SHE FEELS(WHICH PROBABLY WOULD BE HARD TO FIND SINCE IN HER DELUSION EVERYONE IS BENEATH HER)SHE’S IN GOOD COMPANY WITH. SHE CALLED HERSELF AN “O.G.” AND SAID NOBODY WOULD BE THERE WITHOUT HER. IDK WHT LAND SHE LIVING IN BC THIS SHOW WAS SHAUNIE’S BABY, AND I GUARANTEE THT THE SHOW WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT HER, ANNND THOSE WHO BEEN ON WOULD BE THERE DESPITE HER ABSENCE. SHE’S A NOBODY AND CONDESCENDING….UGLY!!!!

    1. Can’t stand Jennifer.She talk tough but when the ladies ready to get wit her she got a lawyer on speed dial
