Tami Roman's Return To Basketball Wives Hinges On Evelyn's Return

Tami Roman, the noted fan favorite by Shaunie O’Neal of Basketball Wives may not return if Evelyn Lozada does not return. Did VH1 shoot themselves in the foot by attempting to build unnecessary drama?! If you’re a little lost, Evelyn tweeted she’s considering leaving Basketball Wives behind after VH1 posted a story that implied Evelyn had an affair with Terrell Owens, Chad’s male bestie.

Evelyn has since denied the claim on twitter most recently posting,

“***RUMORS TO CLEAR UP*** I am not pregnant people and me and @ochocinco   are still together! STOP BELIEVING THE LIES ‘THIS’ BLOG POSTS!!” Evelyn tweeted early this morning before addressing hearsay of her alleged tryst with T.O. “OH 1 MORE RUMOR TO CLEAR UP ME & @terrellowens NEVER dated before/during my relationship with @ochocinco. People are sick & karma is a b!*ch!”

Tami confirmed Evelyn’s resistance when she called into Chicago’s Morning Riot radio show,

“If she doesn’t come back, it’s going to take a long thought process on me on whether I’ll come back or not. We kind of helped elevate the level of the show together, and I wouldn’t want the weight of the show on my shoulders.”

Tami continued,

“She seems very upset about something that was put on a VH1 blog. I don’t even know why VH1 would get involved with that because Ocho and Terrell are very good friends. Evelyn and T.O. are friends. We’re all friends with T.O. There’s absolutely nothing happening there, so the fact that they sort of endorsed that pissed her off.”

What would Basketball Wives be without Tami much less Evelyn? Could this be the end of the entire franchise – and we the only ones slightly grinning?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
