Basketball Wives' Evelyn Lozada's Husband Chad Johnson Cut From Team

One month after Evelyn Lozada and Chad Johnson’s wedding there may have been cheating. It was previously believed from an episode on Basketball Wives that Evelyn was OK with her then fiance Chad Johnson formerly Ochocinco getting intimate with other women but the reality star denied they had an open relationship and after the arrest this weekend Evelyn was very serious.

It did not take long for the “new” Chad Johnson and his new bride to create drama straight out of a reality TV show. And it could jeopardize Johnson’s position with the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins wide receiver allegedly head-butted his newlywed wife, Evelyn Lozada, during an argument in front of their home near Miami. According to reports the argument began and quickly escalated after Ev found a receipt for a box of condoms. “It gets pretty heated,” said. one source “By the time they get home here in Davie it’s pretty heated. She alleges he leaned over and head butted her. He says she leaned towards him and that they butted heads. Needless to say she has a good laceration on her forehead.”

Evelyn’s husband was arrested for simple battery, domestic violence, a misdemeanor and has since posted a $2,500 bail.

The reality star was released from the hospital and allegedly told police that Chad didn’t give a two lick about his job.

“I don’t give a [expletive]. I don’t give a [expletive] about my career.”

Dolphins head coach Philbin hope to speak with Chad soon. “I have not spoken with Chad Johnson yet. However, I do plan to meet with him in the relatively near future.”

The Johnson’s have kept off their blog and twitter accounts since the incident. Do you think they should work this out or get an annulment?

In the latest news update, reports confirm that Chad was ordered to say away from the Basketball Wives’ star and he was dropped from the team. “The Miami Dolphins released the veteran receiver after he was released from a Dade County jail, where he was held overnight for simple domestic battery.”

Sadly, many saw this coming….

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.
