In an interesting twist of events Basketball Wives star Tami Roman decided to flip the tables on viewers calling her a bully. “I can take any type of criticism as long as you’re respectful to me, but people have a tendency to chastise and belittle us and not really realizing they’re doing the [bullying].” No doubt many will be shocked by Tami’s statement given her behavior on three seasons of Basketball Wives!
“Waking up to negativity on Twitter, negativity on Facebook, negativity on blogs, it’s emotionally and mentally draining, and things people say because they think they know you for watching you one hour of the week, it can weigh on your psyche,” lamented Tami to Sister2Sister.
It will be difficult for Tami to gain sympathizers after viewers watched her essentially pick a fight with Kesha Nichols during their trip in Tahiti. The latest Basketball Wives episode continues to fuel the boycott on Change.org. As of now two sponsors have pulled their ads.
“The way I’ve dealt with things over the course of my life comes from deep-routed issues,” added Tami. “Everybody has to respect the fact that people are going to take the journey and cross bridges when they’re ready to do it. People judge based on how they would handle a situation. They don’t take into consideration how a person was raised. Everybody’s going to handle things differently.” Does this analysis count for people who don’t abide by Tami’s rules of engagement?
“You don’t have to follow me on Twitter. You really don’t. You don’t have to like me on Facebook. You don’t have to do any of that. If you disagree with how I handle something or the way a moment went down, you can say that and you don’t have to call me a b!tc#. You don’t have to call me a lowlife. You don’t have to call me a hood rat. You don’t have to call me out my name to get your point across,” she said. Roll back the tape! Tami? Tami Roman quips about viewers calling her out her name????
Yikes! What do you think of Tami’s statements?
Tami you are a bully. you should be ashamed of yourself a woman of your age pickin a fight, why because she is light skinned and classy and you are not. you and evelyn need to be besties
It’s sad to know that you say your work in progress and that your therapy isnt helping bc you have no progression. Putting your hands on other ppl or their personal proerty is wrong. It is obvious Tammi doesnt know right from wrong. You use respect when it benefits you, and use your upbringing to try and excuse your actions. You dont know how to articulate or communicate your issue snd you cant bear to hear the truth about yourself so you blow up and use your hands like an animal. Thr next time you also want to talk about Jennifer for going to the courts stop…think and remember when you were that same person using the court welfare. Many ppl get more than one job if needed to feed our families so please dont bother voicing that line. You dont know how to communicate articulate or speak your frustation w/o yelling or using physical threats. And as you love to say “this is why we dont respect you”. When you act like an animal ppl treat you as such and thats prob. why they call you out your name……when you act like an animal instead of a human being ppl call it what it is
Tammie, you are the bully. You should have not picked a fight with Keisha. We understand its all TV drama but you should have not got that out of control over something that petty. Taking her purse, be for real. Who does that. I think that you have some inner emotions that you have not delat with.
Tammie maybe you should pick your friends more carefully and not always try to be the bully
Tami…sorry to say but the way it is being presented you and Evelyn are both guilty of bullying… Apparently you do not realize that you both are no longer in junior high (scratch that…even they have more control than you two have shown)… elementary school. To behave in the manner you have is..there are so many words I can use but I am a bit more classy than that. I must say that being a woman in your age bracket, I am really appalled at the way you both have behaved. What kind of an example are you setting for your children, grand children, great grand children… all of these episodes will be available for all to see. Do you not feel some sort of remorse? Grant it that some things happen in the heat of the moment, but seriously, can you not control that sort of irrational behavior!?!?!
I think that its sad that Tami carried on like that with Kisa. I really do think that she need Jesus! After we all viewed this episode you can clearly see that Kisha doesn’t belong on this show b/c she has more class than alot of them on the show b/c she doesn’t want to be apart of the drama. I do see that Kisa is a classier lady b/c she doesn’t entertain the drama. Can you guys plz be known for doing some classier things!!! Tami Kisha doesn’t owe you anything! Tami is actually a bully and the company she keeps isn’t any better for entertaining the mess!!
I think Tami is a bully, and should not even have the nerve to claim she is being bullied. I have tried to watch and support the show, but this Tahiti episode has me done. She was completely out of line and I don’t like the way she says in the article how she was raised is the reason she is the way she is. It doesnt matter how or what you went through, you don’t act that way toward someone and then cry that the public is bullying her. Complete ignorance.
I will never watch basketball wives again, after watching the way Tami acts how inappropriate. Evelyn and shawnie just sat their..Tami is the biggest bully, who needs to grow up because I can’t believe she would hit someone. She is a bully and evelyn and shawnie just sat there.
Tami, I am very sad to watch your behavior on the show. The example you are setting for young woman is shameful and everything you put into the universe comes back to you. Remember there is someone out there always bigger and batter. You too beautiful for that kind of behavior and you are to grown to blame it on your childhood. You will be held accountable for your action and everything you do today comes back tomorrow. I pray you seek peace! I am ashamed to see such behavior as an African American. If you don’t get control of your anger management you will destroy your career and many good opportunities. Enough said!
Peace!
Talk about delusional! She is upset that people are calling HER names yet all she does is call other women names and attacks them verbally and physically with such venom.
I am so sick of the “reality” shows that promote this verbal and physical abuse.
Shaunie O’Neal should be ashamed of herself for producing such garbage and supporting the horrendous bullying from Tami and Evelyn.
get over it!!! we all have issues but that does not mean we can be a bully and a disgusting human being…you have serious issues and need real help..
Tami really needs to take some kind of meds for her delusions. Not only is she a “LOWLIFE BULLY, but a liar as well. She has one of the most filthiest mouths on the show and is always calling somebody out of their name. GET SOME REAL HELP!!!
