We know you all been waiting for #BBWLA …So here you have it! The ladies of LA pick up right where they left off. See the first 5 minutes of Basketball Wives LA Season 5! Tune in Sunday, July 17th + 9/8c on VH1!
Sigh of relieve for the end of Basketball Wives: LA! Now that the dust has settled and all shade has been thrown, can we discuss the outfits from the evening? Was there a mandatory black, white and grey dress code to acknowledge Shaunie O’Neal telling Brandi, “Your services are no longer needed” #RIPToYourChecks Shaunie O’Neal: […]
Looks like Laura Govan isn’t done throwing her co-stars under the bus. In an interview with Juicy Magazine Laura reveals her feelings about Jackie Christie, Draya Michele, her sister Gloria’s acting career and why people need to stop act like “Basketball Wives” is an accurate portrayal of black women: JUICY: There is an awkward vibe between you and Draya, what are your feelings about Draya and where does you’re issue with her stem from? LG: My focus wasn’t on nobody but Jackie. I could see everybody else for who they were. I didn’t like Draya [season 1] for scenes off camera, you guys couldn’t see. With Draya, I’m like, you’re still a sl*t bucket, but Draya is Draya. She does her thing. She’s like a blunt, you smoke it, you hit it, you pass it and then you toss it and then its a roach and you keep it moving. This year, she’s still the same person but she’s growing, taking ant steps, but she’s getting there. I don’t dislike Draya at all. JUICY: What were your initial thoughts of your sister, Gloria’s new role as an actress? LG: Initially when I seen it was like, ‘B!tch you’re the isht.’ We were all over the place. I was so happy for her. I was watching this person and I’m like, ‘That’s you?’ We were all excited. JUICY: What do you say to critics that say reality television depicts minority women negatively? LG: If you look at TV and you think that I’m portraying who you are as a Black woman you have issues. Look at TV for what it is – entertainment. If you want to be entertained watch my show. If you want to watch a woman portraying Black women, watch Oprah, don’t watch me. If you wanna get some jokes and you wanna laugh and you wanna be like ‘What no she didn’t’, then that’s this is the place to be. I don’t like when people look at it for anything else. Wow… Do you agree with her? She does kind of have a point. Anyone who thinks ALL black women act like them fools is cray.
Basketball Wives: LA is canning four of its six cast members, according to reports. Yes, that is actually a real show on VH1 apparently. Draya Michele and Jackie Christie (second and third from left) will return. Everyone else? Gone. Gloria Govan, Laura Govan, Malaysia Pargo and Brooke Bailey were all fired because the wives, Gloria in particular, weren’t allowing “all of their reality to be filmed.” The nail in the coffin? Govan nixing VH1 from her wedding to L.A. Clippers star Matt Barnes. She flew off to Vegas and didn’t even let them known about it, let alone film it. VH1 felt disrespected by her actions and made the decision to kick two-thirds of them to the curb. Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan may or may not still be together anymore, but that’s moot. Producers are already looking for new women to take the four aforementioned spots. Any crazy basketball WAGs you can think of who could fill these impressive shoes?
