Basketball Wives Reunion: Jackie Christie Caught In A Lie

UPDATE-Basketball Wives LA star Laura Govan had nothing nice to say about Jackie Christie after tonight’s reunion. The self proclaimed ‘The First Lady of Basketball” was caught in several lies by host John Salley and further cemented her strained relationship with the ladies….even the audience turned against Jackie. The reunion was taped at least a month ago and both Laura and Imani Showalter still have nothing good to say about Jackie. Laura had a chance to chat with the Rickey Smiley Morning Show and had this to say,

“Jackie is like hella’ old. She’s like 60-something. She’s too old to be like in the juice like that. …She talking about she the first lady. I’m like, in what? Craziness. You got cooky problems.”

“I feel bad for her because I feel like you’re too old to be like that.”

Imani Showalter was equally unforgiving. While discussing what viewers can expect on the reunion she stated,

“I think we all showed who we REALLY are at the reunion. Some came out redeemed, others were exposed for the nut bag they are… You just have to watch.”

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.
