Basketball Wives' Gloria Govan Jokes About Smacking Evelyn Lozada

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Call it bad timing. Basketball Wives LA star Gloria Govan did an interview just days before Evelyn Lozada was allegedly head butted by her husband Chad Johnson where she talks about smashing Ev’s face in because it’s ‘irritating’. More on that later.

With BBW Miami’s fourth season completed and Love & Hip Hop Atlanta just ended it’s premiere season VH1 and Gloria hope to fill your 8pm time slot with another drama filled show.

Gloria Govan, Laura Govan, Draya Michele, Jackie Christie and Malaysia Pargo return. Imani Showalter appears to be out with two additional castmembers joining the reality TV show. Malaysia’s childhood friend Bambi and model and video vixen Brooke Bailey.

Earlier this month lead star Gloria revealed that she’s treading a fine line between trashy and boring.

“It’s such a fine line, you know, like you can’t be boring. No one wants to see us skipping down the street” Gloria said. She didn’t reveal too much but says won’t be getting into any fights during Season 2.

Within the same time frame Gloria who’s training for a film role as an assassin sat down for an interview with EurWeb and opted for trashy instead of boring – although we think she’s joking – we think. When asked which Basketball Wives she would use her kick-butting skills on she responded;

“I think I’d use my moves on every cast member in Miami. I would wait for Evelyn. Evelyn would be last. I’d knock out Shaunie first. And then … you know Royce apologized to me after the last reunion. So, I wouldn’t knock her out. I’d just smack the sh*t out of her.” She continued, “Susie I like. Jennifer just gets on my nerves … like her voice irritates me so I would try to take out her voice box. Evelyn’s whole face is irritating…”

The interview was conducted just a few days before Evelyn’s domestic incident…and while Gloria was attempting to drum up drama for the second season of Basketball Wives, the bad timing caused it to backfire.

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.
