Basketball Wives is slowly but surely losing it’s footing amidst a growing boycott heralded by Alexis M through change.org. The petition began after viewers saw Evelyn Lozada stomp across a dinner table in an attempt to attack her ex-friend Jennifer Williams. Since it’s inception the petition has garnered nearly 25,000 signatures.
In the latest update per the site, Summer’s Eve has pulled all of their ads from BBW AND Lozada’s upcoming wedding special with fiance Chad Ochocinco, ‘Ev & Chad’. Reportedly another sponsor has pulled out but their name will be announced next week.
To make matters worse, Basketball Wives’ ratings is slipping from a season 4 debut of 2million viewers, followed by an average of 1.87M viewers and now 1.74m, per Futon Critic. If the numbers continue to drop things won’t be looking good for Tami Roman and the remaining cast. Of course executive producer Shaunie O’Neal is already working on a ‘basketball’ movie. Will the boycott hurt Evelyn’s other ventures?
WOW… so the petition received traction? —> GOOD! because I signed it TWICE! now can we get back to good sitcom TV for fall 2012!
Tammie and Evelyn should be let go. Tammie is too old to be picking fights.
Tammie valued her job, then she should protray herself in a more positive way.
yes, hopefully this mess will be cancelled.
This show is horrible. Not only did Evelyn run barefooted over a table but she also was wiping snot off her face repeatedly and then she threw that tissue on the table for the waitress to clean up. How disgusting! Tami didn’t say anything about that but attacked Kesha repeatedly for not covering her mouth right when she coughed.
I hate this show. Run Kesha run. You are too classy for this show.
Shame on you Shawnie! You allow Tami to pick on that girl when just two words from you: STOP IT would end Kesha’s misery.
THAT SHOW NEEDS TO BE CANCELED. TAMI AND EVELYN ARE NOTHING BUT OLD BULLIES. IT’S A DISGRACE TO ALL BLACK WOMEN. WHO CARES IF EVELYN AND CHAD GET MARRIED,THEY BELONG TOGETHER. GHETTO ACTING WOMEN WHO NEEDS TO BE OUT OF SHOW BUSINESS.,
I WANT TO SIGN THAT PETITION BECAUSE THE SHOW IS TRASH. TAMI AND EVELYN ARE OLD BULLIES WHO NEED TO CUT OUT OF THE SHOW. I AM TIRED OF SEEING BLACK WOMEN PORTRAYED LIKE GHETTO RATS.
