UPDATE-VH1’s popular reality show Basketball Wives continues to dominate the headlines as the cast mates and fans react to the seemingly never ending drama. The show’s villain Tami Roman has deleted her Twitter account. Roman was slammed incessantly after last week’s episode showed her bullying cast mate Kesha Nichols. Roman later issued a public apology but perhaps it was too little too late – the fans are fed up.
Royce Reed also voiced her piece when called into TT Torrez of iPower 92. During the interview Royce defended her decision to slam Tami for her actions but insists the other side of Tami is loving and funny. She also blasted executive producer Shaunie O’Neal for refusing to film with her and confirmed that her relationship with Jennifer Williams is growing. Surprisingly Royce is thankful for Basketball Wives for numerous reasons including acting as a catalyst for change in her life and strengthening her relationship with her tough as nails father.
To wrap up the interview the reality star confirmed she and Dezmon are “good” despite the public breakdown of their relationship.

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.
