Wedding of Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco Gets Rejected by Miami Hotels

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Several Miami establishments refuse to host the wedding of Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco, leaving the reality TV couple with nowhere to film the last episode of their spin-off show, Eve and Ocho. The combative couple had hoped their season finale would feature a glamorous wedding, but due to their reputation and love for drama, a high-class matrimony might be out of the question.

TMZ reports that Miami hotels have publicized their distaste for the couple, refusing to condone Lozada and Ochocinco’s untamed behavior. Due to the constant push for high ratings, flying fists and foul language are sure to show their face at the wedding.

St. Regis, The Ritz, and Breakers have all said “No” to hosting the union of the soon-to-be newlyweds, under the impression that a fight will break out once the couple share vows. According to TMZ, each of these locations is worried about their reputations, afraid that something crazy might happen at the ceremony to hurt the name of their establishment. Eve and Ocho will air nationally and is predicted to bring high ratings in its first few weeks.

Despite the challenge of finding a hot Miami spot, Lozada and Ochocinco are set to marry in July. The only question is, Where?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
