Basketball Wives Evelyn Lozada Sues Website For False Story

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

Basketball Wives are still got up in lawsuits. This time Miami star Evelyn Lozada is suing a gossip site for running a story that allegedly damaged her reputation – we’re guessing Evelyn likes to do all the damaging herself. Last month reports surfaced that Evelyn was not only pregnant but she also had an affair with Terrell Owens, Evelyn’s fiance Chad Ochocinco’s BFF.

Both Terrell and Evelyn were forced to deny the rumors on Twitter..Here’s Ev’s response

“***RUMORS TO CLEAR UP*** I am not pregnant people and me and @ochocinco   are still together! STOP BELIEVING THE LIES ‘THIS’ BLOG POSTS!!”

“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!”

Reportedly Evelyn requested the website, mediatakeout.com to remove the story. After her requests were denied, Evelyn and her attorney decided to sue for “consequential damages” due to “defamatory” statements made by mediatakeout.com. Amongst other things, the site is being sued for damaging Evelyn’s reputation “both as a television personality and as a small business owner. They also have caused her to suffer severe emotional distress.”

Interesting…Evelyn is reportedly seeking $15,000 in damages. So does this mean Evelyn is NOT quitting Basketball Wives?? 🙂 Sounds like it..

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.
