Brandi Maxiell and Brooke Bailey clashed in a deleted scene from the BBWLA reunion.
“Basketball Wives” star Brandi Maxiell called out Brooke Bailey and Evelyn Lozada at the latest reunion. In Brandi’s opinion, Evelyn and Brooke run the group. So when they are at odds with someone in the group, the others eventually ice that person out. Brandi also said it seems like everyone is afraid of Brooke. So that creates an environment full of hypocrisy and double standards. Brooke denied all of this. She went on to say that Brandi’s real issue was she was struggling to find her place within the group. Brooke also believed Brandi didn’t care for her close friendship with Evelyn.
Another thing Brandi called Brooke out for was not defending her when Evelyn was critical of her marriage. Brooke said she wasn’t in a good place with Brandi at the time. And she didn’t feel obligated to get involved in the feud because it had nothing to do with her.
Well, Brandi called out Brooke again in a deleted scene from the reunion.
Reunion host Nina Parker asked Dr. Cheyenne Bryant where she stood with Evelyn. Cheyenne answered that they are cordial and don’t have any issues despite her beef with Brooke. When Evelyn agreed that they are cordial, Brooke took issue.
She said, “It’s surprising to me that Evelyn is still friends with Cheyenne or cordial with her because you don’t know her.”
Evelyn answered, “It’s not like we’re phone boning and talking on the phone every time we’ve been in this group of ladies. I’ve always had positive interactions with her…”
Brooke interjected, “Always positive?”
She eventually revealed Evelyn and Cheyenne had a one-on-one conversation about Brooke. Brooke didn’t feel that was positive and Evelyn felt like Brooke was getting off-topic.
Evelyn said, “You’re pivoting somewhere else. We’re gonna stay here.”
Cheyenne was over it, “We’ve never had an argument. Our conversation was between us two. She wasn’t present. So, Evelyn, the question was if you had a bad experience with me directly. And we have not had a bad experience with each other directly. So that was the question.”
Brooke continued, “The conversation was about me. And it was in a negative way from Cheyenne with Evelyn listening. And as my friend, I felt like Evelyn didn’t defend me for one…”
Brandi chimed in.
“But what if she did when the cameras weren’t rolling?”
Brandi’s two cents annoyed Brooke.
“What do you mean? In that scene you’re talking about between you and Evelyn I did say something. I’m not talking about when the cameras weren’t rolling. I’m talking about when the cameras were rolling.”
Brandi asked, “What if she did when the cameras were rolling but it was just edited out?”
Brooke realized Brandi’s point was to highlight hypocrisy.
“Brandi…come on. Like, come on. One thing you can’t do is discredit me as a friend to you.”
Brandi went on to say, “It’s how she can have the same issue, but when I have an issue or if I do something it’s way worse. Just saying.”
Brooke once again says Brandi is unhappy with where she stands in the group.
“That’s not true. You came back into this group and you were uncomfortable with my relationship with Evelyn from the beginning because you didn’t have a relationship. That is not my problem.”
Brandi wanted the conversation to move along and then Malaysia Pargo was mentioned.
“That has nothing to do with me. Again, the same way I didn’t get in between you and Malaysia ********, I’m not getting in between you and Evelyn’s,” said Brooke.
Nina eventually circled back to Evelyn. Evelyn refused to address why she didn’t stick up for Brooke because the question was off-topic. She again confirmed she doesn’t have beef with Cheyenne. But Brooke still didn’t understand how the conversation was positive.
Realizing the issue was likely semantics, Nina said, “I think we’re getting held up on semantics. But she’s basically saying there’s no beef between the two of them.”
Evelyn agreed, “No. I never did. I don’t have beef now. Anything that’s happening within the group, same thing. I try to stay in my line. It has nothing to do with me.”
Some “Basketball Wives” fans think the deleted scene wasn’t a good look for Brooke. One YouTube user wrote, “I could never be Brooke’s friend. She is draining and immature about friendships.”
Another said, “Brooke too childish so Evelyn must have beef cause she got beef ? Are they in kindergarten?”
Brooke is exhausting and she can miss a season or two because she needs intense therapy.
All these TV shows are the same tbh I think they often create the drama for us viewers great post though will still be watching to see what unfolds.
Brooke can go! She’s draining and uneducated!
I remember they didn’t want to film with OG because they thought she was too aggressive but Brooke is aggressive 24/7. Why isn’t she being held accountable?
EXACTLY 💯 Brooke is a bully and she has no storyline!! She needs therapy and healing! Get rid of her
Right Brooke is a bully and she always mad at someone about something she’s very draining please get rid of Brooke ! Never cared for her at all
You’re exactly right about her, I neverrrr liked or cared for her! She thinks she’s top dog on the show! Talking out her nose! Much respect to her and the loss of her daughter, but 90% of the time she’s the one who was bringing her into their conversations. Then what she said to Cheyenne about never being married or having any children, was a very low blow and disrespectful to a person who just loss a child! I am sick of Brooke and Evelyn messy self too! Throws the rock and hides her hand! She is one 3 faced messy old miserable woman! Her and Jackie is the definition of MESSY!
Brooke is just as FAKE as some of her body parts.Brooke wants friends that kiss her a** and EVERYTHING has to be about Brooke….she not only allowed Evelyn to talk crap about Brandi she had a smile on her face…I don’t care if i am beefing with my friend I am not gonna allow another person to talk sh** about them in my presence and they are not there to defend themselves. PEEIOD!!!!!!
BROOKE NEEDS TO GO PERIODT!! she has no storyline and acts like a bully, I’m tired of her shenanigans 😤
Brooke grow all the way up. You don’t stand a candle to the OG’s. They’ve been there since day one. And well baby girl. You haven’t so get over that hump or go on some where else.
