although i’d heard and read numerous things about it, principles and testicles stopped me from actually sitting down and watching VH1′s tragically ubiquitous “basketball wives“, a show “showcasing the lives of seven women linked (HA!) to NBA men“. but, after losing a bet with my girlfriend, i was forced to watch two episodes last weekend. here are my thoughts.
1. you know, i’ve been sitting here for a while thinking of a way to accurately encapsulate my first impressions of the show, and nothing better articulates my point than just stating the obvious: i don’t know any of these women
i don’t know any women who live like that. i don’t know any women who “look” like that (and you’ll understand why “look” is in quotations later). i don’t know any women with their body language. i don’t know any women who always wear the odd clothes they always wear. (i’ve always maintained that shaunie o’neal dresses like she’s from the future. i will not attempt to explain why i feel this way. just trust me when i say that she does) i don’t know any women who have the conversations they have, and i don’t know any women who use the language they use when they have those conversations. shit, i don’t even know any women named erica who spell their names with two k’s.
i mean, i at least understand that they’re (probably) human beings, but humanity is where our connections end. i might as well have been watching a reality show about martians.
2. despite the fact that my relentless averageness (put it this way: if looks were NBA players, i’d be the anonymous guy they put in those NBA cares commercials next to lebron james while the voiceover says “lebron james and one of his random-ass cavalier teammates help build houses in appalachia...”) should prevent me from making negative public critiques about a woman’s looks, i feel compelled to say that none of the women on the show (sans royce reed, who i’ll get to a bit later) are even remotely attractive.
while they all have the dime “look” (thin, long hair, big foobs, bleached teeth, etc), they each have a world-weariness to their faces and countenance that says “retired porn star” more than “women you’d actually want to be with“, and this negates any appeal they might otherwise have.
it actually reminds me a bit of karen hill in “goodfellas” talking about an afternoon with the other mafia wives:
“They had bad skin and wore too much make-up. I mean, they didn’t look very good. They looked beat-up. And the stuff they wore was thrown together and cheap. A lot of pant suits and double knits. And they talked about how rotten their kids were and about beating them with broom handles and leather belts”
3. there are 4 different types of chickcrazy.
a) the “she’s cool, but she gets kind of nuts when she’s having sex”, crazy that most men appreciate.
b) the “she kind of scares me at night (and some mornings), but because she’s smaller than me and my truck is leased in her name, i can deal with it” crazy
c) the “ok, this bitch is f*cking crazy” crazy
d) royce reed
seriously, for those who haven’t seen the show, imagine if you crossed gloria cleary (the crazy sister from the “wedding crashers”) with janet jacme, lorena bobbit, benjamin buttons, and a chipmunk. within five minutes of watching, you understand completely how reed was able to seduce dwight howard (aka “the big christian“) and, within two years, anger him so much that he’s currently suing her for 10 million dollars. shit, even mike tyson is probably sitting on a white elephant somewhere watching this show and thinking to himself “damn…i aint got nothing on her ass”
4. even though women living off of millionaire athletes don’t seem like the likeliest or easiest people to pity, i felt the same tinge of sadness watching this show that i usually feel when at the zoo. you can see it in their eyes, as well. behind the glitter, gloss, and futuristic turtlenecks is a bit of self-awareness, a recognition of the ridiculousness of their lives and how they’re perceived by normal people. while these women may live “better” than most of us, the cost of that betterment is too emotionally expensive for my taste.

I was watching Treme..But it seems like they hand picked these chicks out a cliche machine. It also seems that you have no plans to watch the show.
Treme was excellent this week, though I could have done without the mental image of a rutting Baptiste. I struggled keeping down my chicken tetrazzini after seeing the back of his thighs. Mama was right though, and the bubble gum was a very nice touch.
I would love to watch Treme, but can’t cuz Im too broke for HBO. Hopefully I can catch reruns when I visit the fam in a few weeks.
I know you are prolly being sincere and funny etc but never claim being broke, even if its true, never claim the things you don’t want, but rather PROclaim the things you do!
I still have to watch what I speak on myself too LOL….
Lol. I see your point, but since I’m a student, I can claim being broke now so I won’t be later! I’m broke bc I chose to pursue becoming a lawyer instead of becoming a jump-off like the “basketball wives”!
“I know you are prolly being sincere and funny etc but never claim being broke, even if its true, never claim the things you don’t want, but rather PROclaim the things you do!
I still have to watch what I speak on myself too LOL….”
I endorse this message with a presidential thumbs up.
“I know you are prolly being sincere and funny etc but never claim being broke, even if its true,”
This is what the bill collector told me.
LOL @ Humble_One
casttv.com. Problem solved.
@OmarLittle,
Um, yeah, so uh… I love you.
@Cheekie
You don’t really love me. You love my resourcefulness
@ Humble _One….. LLS!!!!!!!
Yes Cheekie!
@OmarLittle
“You don’t really love me. You love my resourcefulness”
Aw.
Lemme put it this way, your resourcefulness is nothing without you. If it weren’t for you, the resourcefulness wouldn’t be…resourceful because there wouldn’t be anyone to deliver said resourcefulness. X = Y, thus, I love you. Badda bing.
Treme is turning out to be a great show. I kind of hate the New Orleans Police Dept now. Everyone knows a 2520 dude like Steve Zahn character, and I’ve seen way too much of Bunk (Yes, Wendall Pierce will always be Bunk to me.) for my own good.
It’s ok. Wendell Pierce will always be Bunk to me too. Him and the other guy from The Wire were one of the main reasons I wanted to watch the show! Just found out my bro was nice enough to give some space on his tivo to it!
“It’s ok. Wendell Pierce will always be Bunk to me too.”
to me, he’ll always be little ceaser from “sleepers”
Everytime I see him, I think about Lela Rochon rolling her eyes while he’s humping her in that scene from Waiting to Exhale.
@SexyCool,
“Everytime I see him, I think about Lela Rochon rolling her eyes while he’s humping her in that scene from Waiting to Exhale.”
Same here. He squicked me OUT in that movie and I couldn’t shake the image of that until The Wire. Thanks to the fantastic character acting throughout that show, now, he’ll always be Bunk. Who is also kinda squicky, actually…
….and I have to say.. being from, and currently residing in New Orleans. The show is pretty dayum authentic. I mean besides some of the hired actors ( not the local ones.. they do use a lot of local talent) horrible fake country accents, for we do NOT have your typical Houston/Alabama/Mississippi country accent. I give Treme’ 2 thumbs up! Yall come to New Orleans! Those making it to Essence let me know… I’ll take you to see a brass band, treat cha to a hot saah-sidge po-boy, and get you a daiquiri….. all @ 3 in the morning!
I’m a NOLA resident as well!! Not from here, but been here since 2007
I was watching Treme..But it seems like they hand picked these chicks out a cliche machine. It also seems that you have no plans to watch the show.
you know what, on-demand and netflix has spoiled me. i prefer to watch shows in like 3 or 4 episodes in one sitting now. i’ll catch treme on demand sometime this weekend
“i prefer to watch shows in like 3 or 4 episodes in one sitting now. i’ll catch treme on demand sometime this weekend”
Actually this is me. I was late to “The Wire”, but I watched all of my coworker’s DVDs and got spoiled like a mofo. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I watched that ish when it was airing having to wait for the next episode.
I needed to BEEN up on Treme since I became a Wire stan, but I’m a huge procrastinator and haven’t gotten HBO nor DVR yet. #FAIL
@Cheekie
“I needed to BEEN up on Treme since I became a Wire stan, but I’m a huge procrastinator and haven’t gotten HBO nor DVR yet. #FAIL”
Did you get a digital converter box?
“Did you get a digital converter box?”
Don’t need one, it’s just that I have basic cable. lol I never had a reason to pay extra for HBO until now. I never had time to catch up on a lot of shows until DVR came out. But then I procrastinated. *sigh*
@The Champ
I will say this much to you..(and everyone else) I’m from (and proudly still live in) New Orleans and Treme is the 1st and only Hollywood production that got my city right. And yes..watching this in 3-4 episode chunks will serve good. There is a lot to take in for those who had no idea what we went through after Hurricane Katrina. As far as Mr. Pierce…lets just say we down here know the MUSIC is the true star of the show
“Dr. Lipshitz Says….”
I will say this much to you..(and everyone else) I’m from (and proudly still live in) New Orleans and Treme is the 1st and only Hollywood production that got my city right.
have you ever seen “franks place”?
I saw franks place, but only in the original viewing so I was too young to recall, but the papers always said it was right, but people didn’t catch on to it and thus it was cancelled.
im excited to watch Treme cuz well:
The Wire was the truth and so was Homicide: Life on the Streets.
YES – Homicide and all their grittiness on regular t-v , and on that note * RIP David Mills aka the “undercoverblackman”, He Was the Truth ..
First? First deez.
Anyhow:
“i might as well have been watching a reality show about martians.”
You would’ve if you watched Brandy/Ray J Family Business. Wait, is E.T. from Mars? Oh snap, Brandy!
“it actually reminds me a bit of karen hill in “goodfellas” talking about an afternoon with the other mafia wives”
Ooh, I used this as a monologue in an acting class. Good stuff. #randomcheekiefact
“while these women may live “better” than most of us, the cost of that betterment is too emotionally expensive for my taste.”
Word. As my high school Economics teacher said, TINSTAAFL: There is no such thing as a free lunch. (And she actually made us say that acronym as a word. #anotherrandomcheekiefact)
Also, hearing THE ONLY WIFE, Jennifer talk make my teeth hurt. I don’t like her saying the letter ‘S’ and I’mma need her to stop using it forever. Mmkaythankumuchly.
“hearing THE ONLY WIFE, Jennifer talk make my teeth hurt”
Lol! She has that effect and her husband is even worse. It was painful to listen to him talk and look at.
i can’t stand jennifer’s voice either. and it gives her away. you can tell by her voice that this whole bourgeouis thing is new for her. well, actually, i guess you could tell that by the fact that her claim to riches is that she’s a basketball wife, but um…..i do think she’s pretty, though. but can we talk about her husband and his face? i mean, damn.
@charli skipper…skippster you and i usually agree but that jennifer chick is not cute…she looks like an avitar. chick should never ever ever ever ever pull her hair back and look directly into the camera.
lol! somebody else said she looked like an avatar and i was like, “yeah….she does.” but, like, a strangely pretty avatar. i don’t know, i ‘m second guessin’ myself now.
“you can tell by her voice that this whole bourgeouis thing is new for her.”
Yeah, it was really apparent the one episode before this when she gossiping about some ish with Evelyn and she was all, “Girrrl, lemme put my Chanel bag down!!” Um, yeah… #hoodrichtendencies
“it actually reminds me a bit of karen hill in “goodfellas” talking about an afternoon with the other mafia wives”

did you have to rock a jewish afro while you were doing it?
“did you have to rock a jewish afro while you were doing it?”
Man, I wish!
“First? First deez.”
Yes, I’m quoting myself.
Wait the hell a minute. Now I know why folks be feelin’ salty talmbout, “First”, then they not. I mean, I did mine with a question mark so I’d be in the safezone. When I saw the post, I saw “0 comments”. Ok, yeah, I know that don’t mean you’re the first commenter because it could be a difference by seconds. But dag nabbit my post posted as the only comment and then all of a sudden there was a post above mine. *throws tantrum*. Conspiracy! VSBluminati! Hmph…
***playing the worlds smallest violin for you***
Champ, go play in traffic during rush hour.
Cheekie, it ain’t just you. There were more than a few comments later and yours was the first post. I’m just co-signing that you definitely saw what you saw, because I saw you as first as well.
Thank you, witness. *hugs legitimate_soul*
Terribke arrives RWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWRR
royce reed IS scary….
welcome and shit. great screenname, btw
Love the Goodfellas quote! Haven’t seen much of the show but I agree about Royce. Wowzers. Makes me think I should stop lusting after Dwight Howard’s arms, because I’m sure he’s just as special as she is.
its funny: she’s a tiny, tiny woman and he’s a giant man. maybe she does all that random p*ssy-popping to help shift her parts back in place
@Champie…
LMAO!!!!!! You could be on to something.
“stop lusting after Dwight Howard’s arms”
can’t stop. won’t stop. they are just too divine.
@Keisha Brown
Aren’t they?!?! Yummy!!!!! He better not ever mark them up.
I KNOW right!?!?!
Watching NBA ball right is like watching LA Ink on TLC.
Something about the so fresh, so clean (and chisled chocolate…)
(Sigh). A-freakin’-greed.
Lack of cable channels due to Comcast blocking TNT basketball and MSNBC left me with VH1, BET and some other random channels and with ESPN showing baseball, VH1 became the option for a part of the night.
Like these chicks just trying to justify their life story as more than what they were. If your title is ex-fiance, does that really qualify you to be on the show. I think most of these females on the show are not fawning over the ball player but moreso fawning over the potential lifestyle that they get by being the “point guard” but they will never end up as the “Coach” of the ball player team. It is like these females are trying to hate on the groupies when they were once playing that exact role.
BTW…if yall were interested, one of the females got her photo business put on blast w/ some compromising photos. NSFW for some computer screens, unless you work for the SEC where their porn game is shutting the game down
NSFW…http://theybf.com/2010/04/22/exclusive-basketball-wife-evelyn-lozada-caught-sending-naked-flix
Yeah, after Evelyn posted the nudie pics online, I wish she WOULD say one mo’ thing about Royce p-poppin’ or whatever else hootchie dancing she does.
re: evelyn, smh. and she has nerve to talk about how she’s better than the other chickenheads.
“It is like these females are trying to hate on the groupies when they were once playing that exact role. ”
yeah….this confuses me. i heard the wife one telling royce that she’s lucky to even be in the circle because since she was a dancer she basically was on groupie status. um….question # 1: how the hell do they become 10 year girlfriends if some of them didn’t start out as groupies? i know you can meet the guy in college, or grow up with him, or be discovered by him at the produce market without throwing yourself at him, but yeah…..most of these girls started as groupies, i’m sure. so why the hate?
and question #b: how does dancer=groupie? that’s a skill, honey.
at least she was hanging around the guys parties and lookin desperate for a purpose.
“how does dancer=groupie?”
I was wondering the same thing. Out of all of them, Royce is the only that I can somewhat tolerate. All the rest (except Shaunie) seem like they have nothing going on and seem to bi*ch about everything.
“Out of all of them, Royce is the only that I can somewhat tolerate.”
Actually, same here. She’s cute and interesting. Can’t say that about the ones who turn their noses up at her.

i agree. i’d even like to rent her out for parties.

i saw these this weekend, and they did nothing but cement her retired porn star status
LMAO @ retired pr0n star status
“retired porn star” – THAT’S the term I’ve been looking for in describing how these chicks look. Although I do think Royce is a cutie (before opening her mouth), the rest of them look like glorified hoodrats who have been ran through a 1000 too many times.
Here’s one thing that I didn’t necessarily learn from watching the show, but my belief was definitely cemented – These dumb jocks are REALLY FUGGIN’ DUMB. I don’t get the appeal that they see in these women (and I use the term loosely) whatsoever. Their dating/mating/wifing decision-making process is really off and I guess you don’t develop certain traits when you’re conditioned to just shoot jumpshots and run plays. It’s like they need a life coach.
With that being said, I don’t fault these chicks for gettin’ theirs. They’re adults and if they wanna put themselves out there like that, so be it. I’m more upset with the athletes for just being plain ol’ suckas.
IMO, for some of these NBAers, these chicks become their arm candy for the moment, smash enough times to get a few kids and then they now have to handle this new rollercoaster lifestyle. Also, they are only showing the NBA role players so we can only imagine what the NBA stars are dealing with and those females attached to them. So for these chicks on the show, they are like hoochie journeywomen…trying to hang around to collect that pension.
IMO, many of the ball players view these females as the Arm Candy of the Month, but if these females get more than a 10-day contract, they pop out a few kids and then now the rollercoaster begins but none of this get the guys to put a ring on it.
These NBA players are mostly role players so their options are prolly not as entensive as NBA stars. Now, if these wives were on the show, then there would be some validity to their story. These girls are only on the reserved list, mostly hoochie journeywomen trying to ride the wave until they can collect that pension.
“hoochie journeywomen ”
this is the best phrase in life…. they are groupie t-shirt worthy.
Can the dumb jocks get a shirt that says “Hoochie Enabler”?
Awww….I wanna play! Let’s think of T-shirt slogans docks (dumb jocks) and bashoes (basketball hoes) can wear….(copyright on the names!)

lol, this quote almost makes me want to edit the post and put this in as number 5
I guess you don’t develop certain traits when you’re conditioned to just shoot jumpshots and run plays
Hilarity.
But seriously, I am often flabbergasted by how stupid they seem to be… Reason #215 why I don’t get women who fawn over jocks…
Usually I just have this on in the background, but tonight I actually looked at the show and thought the same thing: why do these broads look so freaking tired? and old and crusty and wore out. The one giving royce fashion and beauty advice looked liek she had been through it and back. There is nothing aspirational about them. I mean, sure it might be nice to live like them (maybe superficially), but they are not cute, the men they’re pining after clearly don’t want them, then they have to fight with other chickenheads. it seems exhausting.
Complete cosign. I thought these broads were much older.
I’m co-signing all up and through this comment. Why for come the show’s producers just couldn’t do better when finding women for the show?? And why for come so many of em look like lowkey trannies (especially the Evelyn “woman”) lol … I’s confused!
I think the producer’s did a good job with the women they chose to get the desired effect…and ratings. I’m also convinced that Shauniw O’Neal is a P.I.M.P..
I agree with your idea about Shaunie. She has money, and she’s sitting back and making all of the lower-budget scamps do all o the work for her while she cashes those executive producer checks. Well played Shaunie, well played.
@ Monk….hi.lar.ious!!! she is the resident madame! chic sits back off camera and phone in request.
evelyn: i’m texting shunie now!
serious! why?
I’m also convinced that Shauniw O’Neal is a P.I.M.P
she’s from the fucking future
She is like the Jermaine Dupri of groupie chicks. Pimping them to rake in the cash like Pebbles and TLC
isn’t that the whole point of ‘for the -fuck- love of ray j’? the sad part is they don’t intend to look like chickenheads…so sad
“why do these broads look so freaking tired?”
Yeah, they look rough. And older than they are. Their faces look like experience.
“They say it’s hard for a pimp but extra hard for these hoes.”
Common said it best.
“They say it’s hard for a pimp but extra hard for these hoes.”

Yessir!
it seems exhausting
I don’t watch the show, but that’s the feeling I get even talking about it… The whole thing seems so exhausting. Ick.
Agreed. I saw 2 minutes of it, literally, and had to change the channel. It’s exhausting just talking about it. I cannot imagine watching a whole show about these low class broads. And yes, they ALL are ugly as sin in the face. Royce is okay, but only in comparison. Wow…
I’m sorry. I’m just DEAD on the tag “chicks from the future”.
AHAHAHA…didn’t even notice that. Champ is a mess.
Someone.
Anyone.
PLEASE explain to me what’s up w/ this Reed chick. See, I’ve never seen the Baller Broads show (frankly, I have zero desire to watch) but I swear, everytime someone talks about a crazy person, I hear this Reed chick’s name come up. WHO IS SHE?? ANYONE??
I’m mad I even know this nonsense, but she is Dwight Howards baby mama. short, dark n stays gyrating… anything else, me no know..
That’s good to know cuz I didn’t know who this Reed chick was either, and I was afraid to google her since I’m at work and I know the referencing of pron stars is something that tends to happen here.
you can goggle her. for as crazy as she is, she’s relatively pg-13. even the random booty popping has more of “bring it on” feel to it than strokers stripper
Baller’s Broads would be a perfect name for this show.
@ hawaii….Baller’s Broads would be a perfect name for this show.
dead!
“Baller’s Broads would be a perfect name for this show.”
I vote for this to be the official replacement name for this show. Everyone else should too. #voteordie
#voteordie
And I am dead. Lol!
p.s: Am I the only one who has to constantly retype her handle/email? If so, how can I prevent that from happening please? Thanks!
@Sula
“Am I the only one who has to constantly retype her handle/email? ”
no, you aren’t the only one. we all have to do it since they changed the site.
Awesome. I’ll be collecting my copyright check a lil’ later this week…
So is this like a one-tme show or some type of sitcom excuse? Sorry…I’m just a little surprised some TV show was developed off of old, crazy broads and stupid jocks….(sigh).
“I’m just a little surprised some TV show was developed off of old, crazy broads and stupid jocks….(sigh).”
I’m not. Especially not Vh1. Just replace “jocks” with “hasbeen entertainers” and you have just about every show on there prior to this one.
i choose vote! i vote yes for change and hope!!
the best part about it is that she cannot legally state on the show that she has a son by Dwight Howard, and no one else on the show can mention his name in association with her. that $10 million lawsuit is so freaking powerful that comcast (or whoever owns vh1) and anyone associated with them cannot even say his name.
that chick is nuts.
Damn the show. I haven’t seen it, and don’t plan to. I just wish Champ would stop makin’ cracks about his looks. You look good, Bruh!
The way you feel about the basketball wives is the way some women feel about the Ushers and Will Smiths of the world; they should have been on somebody’s list in last week’s over-rated post.
Damn the show. I haven’t seen it, and don’t plan to. I just wish Champ would stop makin’ cracks about his looks. You look good, Bruh!
thanks, mom, but i told you, you dont have to leave comments here anymore.
@Liz You know being a full time groupie is tough work. LoL. Like the old folks say “hard living will show up all over your face”. Them chicks got the haggard look on lock.
LOL I know some full time groupies/baller chicks in real life. They seem pretty exhausted from the drama and conspiring against they man (ie conspiring for more money/gifts/marriage). I’m fine over here less stressed out about other stuff lol.
@Liz
” I’m fine over here less stressed out about other stuff lol”

‘Tis the truth…one of my friends is having a dress-up party son; I was thinking of dressing as the bashoe in the Vampirella get up (black dress and black hooker boots)….
Shouldn’t the name of this show be “Basketball Broads?” I mean other than the actual wife and Shaunie none of these broads has actually been in matrimony with an NBA player.
“i don’t know any of these women” – I think that’s the truest part of this post. And the reason I don’t watch any of the “Real Housewives” or “I’ve got a bijillion kids watch how I cope” reality shows. I’ve never been around women or people like that. I don’t understand them and I’m not the least bit curious about how they lives or their “drama.” Random – but College Hill on BET is a huge example of that for me. Those are not the students I was around in school nor would I have wanted to be around. I’m not trying to say I’m better than anybody but there is something depressing about the way these folks present themselves.
I’ll say this: I worked for a Iowa State’s athletic dept when I was in school and anybody who knows anything about sports knows that ISU is at best a mid-tier athletic school. In good years they’ll finish just above .600 or so and still the amount of broads around those athletes was ridiculous. As a woman if was aggravating and sad to watch. If I’d been at USC, Miami, Florida, LSU or a school with a track record of pro-sports bound men maybe the groupie behavior would have made more sense. MAYBE.
Now here’s my question. I assume those women were just around those men because of their stature on campus and their “potential” athletic futures. And yes, I judge groupies, but to a certain extent do I do the same thing? I like being around men in my profession who are ambitious and going places. Though I don’t hang around locker rooms and clubs waiting for those dudes, there are some men I’ve hung around just because of who they are. Is it really that different? (Of course I haven’t dated, been engaged or slept with any of them, none of them have impregnanted me and I don’t chase them all over everywhere.) Just wondering……
@Madame Zenobia
In answer to your question, I would say that your situation is very different for one reason, you said you hang with men in your “profession”, which I assume would mean that while they are moving ahead you want to move ahead WITH them instead of having them knocking you up and dragging you along. (Wow what a run-on sentence!) Who wants to hang with the unambitious. Just a thought
I’m gald you went there Madame Z!
I mean… really… Ain’t no woman intentionally trying to marry and get pregnant by no broke a$$ ninjas. PERIOD! What woman doesn’t want a strong sucessful man? Besides, as far as the “groupie” thing goes…. It is a 2 way street. It is not just the groupies that look stupid.. the athletes do too! When are people going to realize, that is there was not a market or fans of dumb shyt, folks would not do those things. Those athletes love to “make it rain” and “pay for it”… Hell, google Kat Stacks! Keep in mind of the age range… what.. 18-25??
Besides… look @ what happens when you don’t marry a dumb bytch!… ask Shaq!
I’ve never been around women or people like that. I don’t understand them and I’m not the least bit curious about how they lives or their “drama”
i think this is exactly what’s compelling about those type of shows. its like you’re on a human safari.
I think that’s the truest part of this post. And the reason I don’t watch any of the “Real Housewives” or “I’ve got a bijillion kids watch how I cope” reality shows. I’ve never been around women or people like that. I don’t understand them and I’m not the least bit curious about how they live or their “drama.”
Preach that Gospel. Lol!
I have no sympathy for anyone who puts their life out there on a reality show. None.
“And that’s all I have to say about that.” (c) Forrest Gump
I have no sympathy for anyone who puts their life out there on a reality show. None.
not even the midgets on mtv?
This show is a joke! First of all, how many are actually currently in a happy marriage to a current NBA player? If we were to answer 1, that’d be a stretch, because that couple is engaged and not yet married. The rest are either divorced or on the rocks right??
Evelyn? Are you serious? You look 45 and you almost married a mediocre ex nba player, so that means you should be famous? Not even touchin the leaked pics…
This show should be called Promoted Groupies, because that’s all they are. And they have the nerve to label other women groupies? Ugh. There’s nothing I hate more than pretentiousness.
i LOVE Promoted Groupies.
you win. lmbo.
“This show should be called Promoted Groupies”
Okay, dayum, ya’ll makin’ it tough for me to make an official vote here. *thumbs up* to this name.
promoted groupies = amazious.
can i change my vote?
Antoine Walker wasn’t that bad of a player…even though he is as broke as a joke now, he had the fat boy shimmy when he made a 3-pointer.
I think my favorite thing about Evelyn is that she was all “I finally got out of my 10-year relationship with Antoine” like it was a brutal battle with cancer, when everybody knows that this chick finally got the ‘courage’ to leave him because he went broke.
The whole victim card, Evelyn? Not buying it, boo.
i didn’t watch tonight… i haven’t watched since the first episode when i was thoroughly disgusted, and even moreso now, knowing that there is some unfortunate child who has to call Royce mama. i mean really? i had no clue she was anyone’s mother. wow. she still does ‘how low can you go, shake that azz’ contests! i mean, come on.
“while they all have the dime “look” (thin, long hair, big foobs, bleached teeth, etc), they each have a world-weariness to their faces and countenance that says “retired porn star” more than “women you’d actually want to be with“, and this negates any appeal they might otherwise have.”
this is the perfect way to describe these women. wow. world-weariness. loves it. i was trying to figure out what it is about these non-hot chicks that seem like they should be hot but aren’t, and that’s it. they all look ran-through, like they smashed all the homies and life smashed them. ew. i think maybe they realized they were hot much too young and immediately started putting miles on. years of booze, drugs, and professional athlete pesin can do that, i guess.

I’ve seen a lot of these chics. Especially here. They are in their late 20s to early 40s and usually drive entry to mid-level luxury cars. You can find them in gaudy designer clothes that blatantly scream the label they’re wearing. They live fast and their only assets are physical. Sometimes they get grounded in reality after life has kicked, stomped, and punched the hell out of them. Other times they haven’t realized they fell off and they carry themselves like they are still 21 without kids.
@Humble_One
“…usually drive entry to mid-level luxury cars.”
LOL! I guess depending on their….”position” right? And just what is an ‘entry level’ car? You are too funny sometimes.
@Ivyette
“LOL! I guess depending on their….”position” right? And just what is an ‘entry level’ car? You are too funny sometimes.”
You are correct, it depends on their position. An entry-level luxury car would be a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus ES, Infiniti G37, or BMW 3 series.
“Sometimes they get grounded in reality after life has kicked, stomped, and punched the hell out of them. Other times they haven’t realized they fell off and they carry themselves like they are still 21 without kids.”
bwahahaha.
your comments are funny because they’re always so dead-pan serious. this is soooo true. i know i see plenty. the labels screaming what they’re wearing, yes. i wanted so badly to tell this woman i couldn’t hear her over her outfit, could she please turn it down… when she was talking to me the other day. but i didn’t feel like having a black eye so i didn’t. lol
this thread is filled with sadness and shit. i think i need a rum and coke
is rum and coke like the official guy drink? i’m just wondering. that’s the fourth reference i’ve heard in the last two days to a guy wanting one.
i know you were joking… but i’m alcohol-ignorant. i need to know these things.
That is my go-to drink when I’m at hood spot and I know they gon’ eff up anything fancy that I ask for…lol
That my aunt Shirley drink, LOL when she wants something harder than a Miller High life, Barcardi dark rum and coke…it ain’t bad!
@Muze
“is rum and coke like the official guy drink? i’m just wondering. that’s the fourth reference i’ve heard in the last two days to a guy wanting one.”
I’ve noticed a cats drinking that more now too. I still think henessey and coke or henessey straight is arguably the official club drink for Black dudes.
“…professional athlete pesin (P.A.P.)…”
Wow….sounds like a batch of ineffective penicillin….PAP smear has a WHOLE new meaning… =/
(Sigh. I hate epidemiology.)
Evelyn looks like a tranny
Jen is strange looking and too lame to feel so important. how pathetic was this chick telling some cat woman looking groupie/thing to stay away from her man??? ~confused
Royce is…
Who are these chicks anyway??? complaining about groupies and giving style advice??? oh the irony …me still confused
Who are these chicks anyway??? complaining about groupies and giving style advice??? oh the irony …me still confused
martians from the future
man, if that’s the case, the future both SUCKS and BLOWS (literally and figuratively speaking), defying the factors of physics.
.
Jennifer looks like and Avatar. And I’m tired of having to google their “husbands”. These girls are trying to school Royce when he child’s father is the most notable player on the show besides Shaunie. *boo hiss*
lol. and yes. this whole comment is absolutely correct.
I thought I was the only one googling these people! HA!
“And I’m tired of having to google their “husbands”.”
LOL, word.
bawahahaahaaha! – yes. I’m constantly googling these players!
and seriously Dwight Howard – ain’t nothing super about your decision to lay down with Royce.
LMAO, What has Royce done to earn the label of “crazy”? I can think of some adjectives, but crazy? Did I miss something?
I’m with you here. Maybe I missed an episode or two of craziness, but I see her as being a bit naieve and immature. According to the Champ’s breakdown of “crazy”, I can see her being that “crazy” in the sack that dudes don’t really mind.
You know….it’s not that shes done anything overtly crazy, it’s more so that you can see the crazy in her. it lives and it breathes. she’s got the potential to do anything and you cant put anything past her. messy people are like that. you dont really know the depths they are capable of. those are the scariest people on earth. after watching a few episodes i thought to myself, she could end up working for Hillary Clinton or being the catalyst for the secession of the South again reigniting another Civil war. the bar isn’t set for her.
that makes her crazy.
thank you p.
like he said, its more about the potential crazy you can see in her eyes than anything else. its like she’s literally perpetually hopped up on mountain dew
Or she just may hop on a Marta bus and go all soulja girl on the passengers…while giving out free lap dances type crazy. Ok, the unpredictable crazy…I got it.
1.Jen looks like an Avatar.
2.I’m tired of having to Google their “husbands”.
3. Royce’s baby daddy is the most notable player on the show besides Shaunie and these girls are schooling her? Wheredeydodatat?
4. I can’t stop watching!!
welcome and shit
i actually think royce is pretty, plus she aint’ wearing all of sephora on her face….she is a bit off though. but for some reason,
chocolate shouldersd.howard gives me those vibes too. that’s why i think he tries to ACT all pious and whatnot.but like dig said, i can’t stop watching.
“i actually think royce is pretty, plus she aint’ wearing all of sephora on her face”
i agree.
“the cost of that betterment is too emotionally expensive for my taste. expensive for my taste.”
Truest saddest words. You gotta pity them…
This is show should have been called: “My Daddy Wasn’t in My Life”.
A few thoughts:
A. Matt Barnes and his fiance should stay away from these chicks. They radiate angry groupie vibes.
B. Baby chicken b/k/a Royce looks like she could be capable of mid 90′s Lefteye Crazy.
C. The word “tranny” comes to mind while looking at a couple of these chicks. I’ll let you guess. One of them looks like a skinny version of Chyna from wrestling back in the day.
D. This should should be replaced with a VH1 reality show called “The Mayweathers”. It would basically show Roger and Floyd Maywaether Sr. sitting at a card table drinking a brown liquor of their choice, and hitting on the Basketball Wives.
Question about episode 1: Why was Luda looking shocked when Baby Chicken started dancing during his “How Low Can You Go” contest!? Ninja. you just asked a group of take part in a “How Low…” contest, what the hell did you think was gonna happen.

Word! Some other black arse dude looked shocked too
Muse, about A. I was amazed that the two basketball wives brought up Tiger Woods and cheating OVER LUNCH with Matt Barnes and his fiance, and clearly were trying to break them up.
I don’t know what would have annoyed me more, that or ruining a really great looking lunch.
@Kit,
“Muse, about A. I was amazed that the two basketball wives brought up Tiger Woods and cheating OVER LUNCH with Matt Barnes and his fiance, and clearly were trying to break them up.”
^See, and that made me think of last weeks post on disrespectful stuff. How you gonna talk about the disillusion of marriage in someone else’s happy home? Then try to bully the man of the house to potentially rat out himself (not saying he did anything) and his colleagues on TV? They were all types of wrong.
I would’ve kicked the two slags out of my house, but I have questionable people skills.
B. Baby chicken b/k/a Royce looks like she could be capable of mid 90’s Lefteye Crazy.
i didnt want to say that and risk getting struck by lightning, but its true
Mayhaps I’m a bit confused here, but where is the open floor discussion, Champale? I mean, when I read this it came off as a rant – not an open topic, so HOW are we supposed to respond? Well, in all your greatness as an OUTSTANDING blogger, (and sexy to boot) you’re entitled to a few random, non-targeted posts, so it’s all good.
And as a side note…
You have a GIRLFRIEND? How dare you!! You KNOW I have a crush on you!! You no-good evil bastid! Even though I’m engaged, there could have been a chance for us! (She said facetiously) Love ya, Champale!
i find it interesting that you were confused on how to comment, yet you managed to do anyway. lol.
you’d be the rapper who just rapped about rapping huh?
LOL, it’s very…what do the kids say…”meta”.
*finger*
thank you, redbeanz.
btw, do i send your cash through paypal, or would you prefer a check?
You’ve very welcome, and cash only please.
when the show initially came on, i thought that it would show real NBA wives, Juanita Jordan, Turqois Ervin etc., only to see a veritible Skeezer training camp. I just have 2 words for this crew…Cookie Jordan. Her life is a testament to what happens when groupies go wrong. Constantly living in fear of my HiV status is waaaay too much.
Juanita Jordan, Turqois Ervin etc., only to see a veritible Skeezer training camp. I just have 2 words for this crew…Cookie Jordan
we need to get you an updated wiki page so you can get the names right, lol
@Neighborhood Hussy
“Skeezer”
The last time I heard someone call a woman this I had a high-top fade.
We mean Cookie Johnson right?
There isn’t another Cookie in the world? There couldn’t POSSIBLY be a grown ass woman named Cookie anywhere else in the world RIGHT?!!!?!?
Things I’ve observed:
1. Only one is actually a wife, and she’s getting a divorce.
2. They are only attractive in the “post club/post waffle house” type of way.
3. Maybe they wouldn’t be so unhappy about the lifestyle of their husbands if they actually had lives of their own.
4. They dress horribly and I guess they think they are fly in the fact that it cost them three game checks.
2. They are only attractive in the “post club/post waffle house” type of way.
Done!

In the words of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, “Bazinga!”

Now that’s a show I wouldn’t mind discussing! Lol!
These have got to be the fugliest chicks on TV. I feel like I’m watching a bootleg Real Housewives show but about “im important bc i sucked off/had a baby by a baller” basic chicks! The only chick I “know” is Shaunie O’neal and they don’t even show her much so it doesn’t count. Royce needs to take her flat-chested “i can’t mention my baby daddy’s name bc he might sue me AGAIN” self on somewhere. This show should be called How to go from Jump Off Status!
That’s it! The new name of the show should be “Baby by a Baller”….no?
Ok how sad were they going to that “OchoCinco” party in the rain & realizing that is was just a groupie casting call.
And #5 on this list has to be that this show clearly shows in no uncertain terms that some groupie I-can’t-ball-by-myself woman will screw anything for a few dollars.
Eric Williams anyone? That dude is fugly…my husband who has never commented on a dude’s looks in his life had to co-sign this one. This dude is so fugly that even HE knows why this chick is with him. And just for shyts & giggles he confirms his fugly nickname “jabber jaws”, confirms that it’s a “man thing” to be fooling around, and made “plans” that don’t include her (most likely with some random hoping to be the next Mrs Fugly) while laughing about it!

This shyt is awesome!!!
“Eric Williams anyone? That dude is fugly…my husband who has never commented on a dude’s looks in his life had to co-sign this one.”
And he seems to have an inflated ego which only makes his fugness that much clearer. I mean, wow, his TEETH could serve as dayum cheese grater.
As I was watching last night I was thinking “Please, please let tomorrow’s VSB post be about this garbage” and here it is! Thanks, Champ, you just made my Monday.
2 things:
“It is like these females are trying to hate on the groupies when they were once playing that exact role.”
and
“This show should be called Promoted Groupies, because that’s all they are.”
The “wives” seem to me as if they went from garden variety groupie status to upgraded groupie status and most were downgraded (i.e. note their titles “ex-such and such” or “__________’s former fiance”). Unfortunately, they didn’t get the memo, email, text message, BBM, or Facebook comment to inform them of said downgrade. I don’t know why I’m watching because I don’t know these women–literally, I can’t put together names and faces (oooh the faces) until it’s time for the next week’s promos. The only ones I can readily recall are Shaunie and Royce.
Speaking of Shaunie, she reminds me of that weird clown dude from the Saw movies. She hardly ever appears on screen yet she controls the other “wives” interactions with one another and when she does appear she’s so stiff and rigid. She frightens me because I can’t trust people whose lips barely move when they speak!
Damn…that’s what’s wrong w/ Shaunie…her lips don’t move. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. And the irony is she’s the puppet master for the rest of those chicks!
What’s “BBM”?
Blackberry Messenger
I didn’t watch the show. So I don’t have much to say. I do have a question after looking at the pic above. Why is it that 4 of the 7 women look the same? The “typical” look for a professional athlete’s wife hasn’t changed much huh?
“Why is it that 4 of the 7 women look the same? The “typical” look for a professional athlete’s wife hasn’t changed much huh?”
You bring up an interesting point! Why do they all look like knock off’s of Vanessa Bryant? IMO, it’s like these nobody NBA players can’t be Kobe on the court so they wanna be like Kobe off the court and have the exotic looking chic on their arms. I willing to BET when MJ was the man to be in the NBA the ladies that looked like Jaunita Jordan were the ish, same thing for Majic and Cookie Johnson. SMH at a certain “types” of woman being a trend and even sadder these “trends” trickle down to the average Joe. No hate, but I’ll be glad when the Cookie Johnson’s of the world come back in style.
..In all fairness to these ladies. I am sure a few of these women were in the trenches with these guys before the money and the fame….and now they are reaping the benefits of the lifestyle. Beyond the glitz and the make-up they are dealing with the same issues as alot of women out here..infidelity, etc..except these men have more options and its probably 100% worse for them..I dont envy them. In fact, I feel a little sad for them…all these groupies, the loneliness….money don’t buy happiness…they don’t look happy.
You so accurately described this show, great Good Fellas borrow, and very true….the cost of that life, SMH, and not just for NBA gf’s/wives but almost any entertainer, famous, perceived “powerful” individual, and or hood star, HOT boi’s etc, the cost is more than most bargain for.
There’s only one that ever catches my eye consistently: the one who’s theird from the left in the above picture. That’s the main reason aI can’t watch this show. Not enough of them are really that dope.
Bravo!!! I totally cosign on this entire post! Last night was my first time watching the show, and I was deeply disturbed. ALL of these heffas are painfully BASIC!!! I was in disbelief. The one beesh that attempted to give Royce a makeover actually got into a pissing contest with a GROUPIE at a party…C’MON SON…seriously? Now that’s what I call CLASS!!! Then had the audacity to say we need to leave because there are no “notables” at this party….ummmmmm…who the funk are YOU???!!! I could go on and on about this snafu of a show…it’s just really really sad.
Man… i watched this show for the first time over the weekend.. Man straight comedy!!
OMG that Royce chick.. I didn’t know she was DH’s baby mother. Notice they don’t say that on the show. They just say she was a ‘dancer’ for Miami and Orlando.. Yo when she was dancing in that contest, my freakin JAW DROPPED.. I mean why was she twerkin it so freakin hard???!! That ish looked crazy!! Like friggin psycho crazy like she was about to turn into a demon or her head was about to start spinning or something lol (a la scene from “Don’t Be a Menace” when Loc-Dog is in the back of the mail truck with the chick ‘Keisha’ he met at the party and she turns into a crazed demon after she has a few drinks)
The rest of them… eh. Evelyn while she looked a little tattered around the edges, she seems like she was probably once a nice girl. The others, garbage. Especially the brown skinned one married to “jabber jaws” (ugh).. When they went to that party and no one was there, she’s all like “This isn’t a good look for us” – like who the f*ck are you?? (no Drake) Please gurl, stop that…
And why were they hating on the one chick they went to have dinner with with the kids? Like “She acting like everything’s all good, she’s full of sh*t” .. and then have the nerve to be all grillin the husband (or baby father or whatever) i wish my girls would come to dinner at my house and be all grillin my man like that, show some freakin respect and decorum, they wanna call themselves so “classy”
Plus its like whether the girl is or isn’t full of sh*t, she still got what y’all don’t have… she’s got the kids, she’s got the at least semblance of a “normal” family life.. so just be happy for her that she’s at least got a dude that’s claiming her and the boys and taking care of the family more than just financially… geez f*ckin glorified groupie azz haters

Yo, that whole “don’t you know who I am” groupie epidemic is HILARIOUS to me. I dont know if yall watched the first Real Non-housewives of ATL, but yall remember Deshawn Snow?? She straight up interviewed her staff (this rediculous woman hired a governess and probably can’t spell the word) and got insulted when the woman didn’t know her or her husband. The hubris!! It cracks me up. And the insistence/overstatement of “I’m classy…I’m high society…” paired with language usage fails scattered all over their dialogue just has me throwin’ my hands up at these people. Basketball Wives is like Nene Leakes training camp…these heffers are all gonna be married to some “business man” three times their age who bought their “estate” with a Rush Card.
this whole comment is gold and made me guffaw at the truths more than a few times.
and i thank thee. lol
Yeah those chicks were totally ridiculous.. I mean, all this hating on the groupie chick at the party.. its like GTFOH you were once a groupie too, don’t play yaself..
And in all honesty, yeah Royce shouldn’t have twerkin, jerkin, pop-lockin and droppin like that on nobody’s stage being a mother but hey, she’s just a wild girl.. let her do her. At least she’s being real, not all wanna be boughie and high siddity acting, with the freakin grandiose sense of importance and status like the other chicks. Plus when they were at the party and they were all hating on “plastic surgery” Royce was just chillin. They were the ones hard pressed to go start some mess with her…
And Jennifer straight getting G’d to the max by her dude… and she played herself out by approaching chick at the party about her husband.. You making yourself look bad if you feel you need to do ish like that..
Where is the “LIKE” button?
“OMG that Royce chick.. I didn’t know she was DH’s baby mother. Notice they don’t say that on the show. ”
Just to clarify she can’t speak his name…legally. He has a permanent injunction against her and she can’t speak his name at all….
“Just to clarify she can’t speak his name…legally. He has a permanent injunction against her and she can’t speak his name at all….”
Yeah…he locked that isht down…lmao!!!
Did you not take out the trash or something? Cause, that’s some evil ass shit for your girl to do to you, make you watch this mess.
That said, this is the best explanation of why I do not watch any reality show (except Project Runway, but that’s just a dope ass show and it’s fun (in that not at all kinda way) to watch how CLEARLY talented black designers get cast aside for weirdo white boys and gays).
I watched the very first episode of this show, and decided to never watch it again. A show about wives, and there aren’t any wives? Is there at least one wife? IDK
I agree with the list, though Royce didn’t come across as crazy in the first episode. Just incredibly immature. I had not idea she was 29, b/c she definitely seems like she’s barely 22/23.
Loving the term “World-Weariness”!!! I will be using this, of course giving you credit sometimes. My mother would have loved it too, because she HATED to see young women looking OLD. She would always tell me that has a young women we are supposed to have a youthful glow about us and we shouldn’t look like the world, people, and life in general has gotten the best us. Too bad nobody told these girls that!
Champ, Is your girlfriend okay with you using her as a scapegoat to watch shows YOU already want to watch?
Both place bets and girlfriend wins.
Champ: Okay babe, you win. We can watch basketball wives.
GF: basketball wives? I wanted to watch Lost.
Champ: No, You really want to watch basketball wives.
GF: ???
*snicker*
LMAOOOO!!!
Damn…Royce reproduced? I had no clue she was a mother…smh.
Evelyn and that other chick were funny, saying how Orlando is not for them and Miami is where they belong, etc. I just had to smh @ their notions of being so much better than other people. It’s really disgusting and I feel bad for them.
LMAO @ Royce’s dancing…it’s like a stripper on speed
I don’t understand how Jennifer sounds like she’s in a constant state of gargling peroxide…and why she married that gorilla in the mist thing. She might have the ring (for now) but I’m sure the swamp thing gave those groupies plenty of jewelry too…
Royce….I feel unclean after she dances
Besides the shoe store “owner”..what the heck do they do with their lives all day? All I see is gossip and taking orders from Shaunie…
–side note: what happened to my welcome and sh*t?? lol
Royce….I feel unclean after she dances
LMAO!
I felt the same way after watching Ciara’s Ride video..maybe they use the same choreographer…I don’t think I can handle another va-jay-jay thrust in my face
–side note: what happened to my welcome and sh*t?? lol
i would say it..but it’s not official til its from a vsb ceo/prez/coo-type person. lol.
@Kiesha Brown
lol appreciate the thought though. I’ve delurked a few times and still nothing…my soul cries lol
awww…hush…
there, there….
I had to pick my chin up off the ground when I learned that Royce is DHoward’s baby mama.
And I was also thinking that she must be super stooooopid to be on this show acting like that with a lawsuit and potential custody issues going on.
Cosign on the crazy, next time one of my gf’s do something straight crazy, I’m going to let her know that her ass is gone RoyceReed.
“And I was also thinking that she must be super stooooopid to be on this show acting like that with a lawsuit and potential custody issues going on.”
WHAT??!! She actually is stupid then. Unless this is her way of admitting she doesn’t want her child… *shrug*.
this show should be called “moon over miHAMmi” bc these chix are HAMs to nth power.
Jennifer (you know she doesnt allow for any abbrevs/nicknames) and Co. really are grating on the nerves. I stopped doing all that ra-ra relational aggressive bullish when I was 12. and btw when you confront a girl at the party that you were clearly cruising, it makes you look desperate and crazy, not her. (and the nerve that these chix had to call HER ‘plastic surgery’! hmph!)
royce is a lil hot azz that shouldnt be hangin around with these women that down on her. she’s crazy, but if she keeps their company she’ll be crazy and miserable and have on more makeup than all of the “girls” on DragRace
Seriously, can someone explain to me how or why people don’t use birth control when they are not planning on having kids.
Now, I’d like to pretend that I am higher and mightier than everyone else, but I’m sure I could be brought low. If Halle Berry walked up to me in Ava on saturday, bought me a drink, and then said “if we don’t have sex now the world will end”, and me, coming from a society where lies don’t exist asks “do we have time to get a hotel room”, and she says “no, we must do it right here” and nobody in earshot of my voice has a condom they could throw to me, then you can be sure after we are done, I’m hustling Halle home to make sure she gets Plan B.
So, given that it is infinitely easier to use birth control with most people, tell me, how is it that all of these surprises don’t also result in lawsuits over faulty condoms and nuvarings?
how is it that all of these surprises don’t also result in lawsuits over faulty condoms and nuvarings?
Further proof that the “surprise” is just a clever way of saying “Gotcha!”… Lol!
This show is kind of like the “Real Housewives” franchise on Bravo in that, most of these women aren’t really married and they’re just wealthy from old marriages or relationships or whatever. (That Evelyn one with all the sass was a jump-off for 10 years. Shaunie is the only one with a believable relationship and now I know why Shaq was fucking around on her ass… she’s boring as two nickels on a porch.)
As for Royce? Her dancing is a mess. But I don’t get why everyone hates on her all day. Yeah, she’s cheap. So? Let her ass be tawdry. She is in Miami. Have you seen the way people act in Miami? *rests case*
These women are in the wrong city. They should be the Real Housewives of Detroit or some shit like this because Miami is a little too glitzy and YOUNG for them.
“This show is kind of like the “Real Housewives” franchise on Bravo in that, most of these women aren’t really married and they’re just wealthy from old marriages or relationships or whatever.”
Dit-TO!
“… she’s boring as two nickels on a porch”
Thanks word of mouth for adding a new phrase to my lexicon of witty quips from left field.
??? so because someone is “boring” its ok to cheat?
Should have figured that out before the nuptials…also I have been to Miami quite a few times on None holiday weekends, and never once did I feel it necessary to drop it low in contest and/or get brand new, and I did go topless on the beach LOL…..an international city known for beautiful FLy people doesn’t mean lose your mind and morals IMO but hey some folks love to “reinvent” themselves when they travel *kanye shrug*
I wasn’t intending to say “she’s boring therefore he’s allowed to cheat” but damn. I feel like she has to force herself to stay checked in and conscious.
But then again, that whole clique is boring. I REALLY don’t like that Evelyn one. This aging queen stays dishing out hate and shade like it’s a soup kitchen, knowing her titties (who are apparently embroiled in a battle of epic proportions because they can’t stand being anywhere near each other) are floating around in cyberspace ready to be unearthed by Worldstarhiphop or whoever.
yea like a Real housewife of ATL…produced by the same people who make Canal St. handbags in NYC
Ok, this is my first post on vsb and I’m sorry it had to be on this topic but that’s the way the mop flops.
I saw this show over the weekend and it was like a train wreck. I couldn’t turn away, not in a good way. I totally co-sign with the champ and all the posts about not knowing any of these women in real life, nor ever wanting to associate with these women in real life. They remind me of the “hoe-hoppers” that used to go to Bentley’s and Demerarra’s back in the early ’90s; posers that are just waiting to get picked up. I would NEVER want to aspire to be them…oh and Jennifer with the blue contacts and the nose that looks like a platypus, oy vey!!! And why does Evelyn’s face look soooo chiseled, like a block jaw or rock’em sock’em robot???? I just don’t know.
OMG! A Rock’em Sock’em Robot!?!?
*dead*
i don’t know why i happened to watch last night’s episode but i did. i think i was watching the brandy & ray-j show and it came on after. either way i was appalled at the tall chick. i think that’s the crazy royce chick you speak of. what is wrong with her? when she approached the “groupie” i was surprised she didn’t get cursed out. i bet before she was married or whatever she herself was a “groupie”…i for one will never see another episode of that show.
Misc information: One of the women, Antoine Walker’s ex-fiance (aka ex-girlfriend) has nude pics on Worldstar. She’s actually not bad at all. Titty galore!

F) Vh1 please pay for these girls therapy or put them on Dr.Drew episodes, they think they are famous??? No one knows their men, I know Royce is Dewayne wades baby momma and Shaunie and Shaq but everyone else??????????idk
I haven’t watched the show and from the comments above it doesn’t sound as if I am missing much. However, I am saddened that so many of you do not sympathize with these women. I applaud these ballers for sponsoring these ‘special’ people. With the exception of Shaunie (who has learned to take nothing and turn it into something), these women deserve a telethon, not our derision. It is amazing that these women are able to function so well in society as they are obviously mentally deficient. Their baller sponsors should apply for non-profit status so they can get a tax write-off (but they will only qualify with the IRS if they stop accepting chex from these women in return). But I doubt they will abstain…oh well.

This blog was so well written…summed it up completey. With that said,
WELCOME TO MIAMI
I know tons of girls who look, talk, walk and think just like these broads. It’s really sad living in miami to see women like this and unfortunately…the men who are chose them. I love how they think down on Royce when at some point (and I’d bed good money) they were just like her or worse.
There are so many p*ssy paid pretty (not pretty) no personality girls out here it’s ridiculous. They don’t care if your married, nice, not nice or an abuser….if you got dough or if you look like you got it…they’re there.
I don’t know who started this trend…but I hear prostitution is the oldest female profession.
Oooh typos galore…but you get the point
sup wat is ur facebook site?
Dang Champ you went in on those ladies!
(Late arriving, and not fashionably).
Though I haven’t seen the show, the description of it is almost the exact same thoughts I had when I visited sites like talk-sports.com and lipstickalley.com. Forums where all the groupies congregate together and dish the dirt on athletes and celebs.
It really is a whole other world with these “FEEmales” (borrowing the diva dude term). There’s a totally unidentifiable values system there thats either not agreeable or foreign, like martian foreign for real.
I could not make it through this 30 minute snoozefest. It’s pathetic. Half of these “ladies” (the jury is still out) are lame. #thatisall
