Meeka Claxton Officially Fired From Basketball Wives

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Basketball Wives star or should we say former star Meeka Claxton has officially gotten the boot. After a tumultuous first season Meeka is out of the circle – for good. Honestly Meeka had no chance – she was already the exception to the rule as the only active Wife on the show that’s about wives. But the straw that broke the camels back was when she dared to file a lawsuit against fan favorite Tami Roman.

While in Rome at a nightclub, Roman assaulted Claxton and a scuffle ensued. Tami has since refused to apologize even rationalized she was acting in self defense. Shaunie O’Neal, the executive producer, has since rallied behind Tami stating that Meeka was never a good fit.

TMZ has confirmed that Meeka has not received an invite, call, text – nothing from the producers since the reunion aired.

In a last ditch effort to be an adult and possibly make nice with the circle, Meeka stated she would drop the lawsuit if Tami, “learned her lesson”. The latter has yet to happen and Meeka is out. Don’t worry though, her reality TV career going down the drain hasn’t stopped Meeka from having some fan. Check out some photos of the former Basketball Wive enjoying the labor day weekend in Atlanta. Update – Meeka hopes to do a reality show like La La’s Full Court Life…interesting…

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
