'Basketball Wives' Tami Roman Wins Seven Year Child Support Battle Against Ex

“Basketball Wives” star Tami Roman has finally settled a 7-year child support case against her ex-husband Kenny Anderson. The reality star filed a case against her ex-husband after he failed to make his child support payments of $8,500/month. Since 2005 the missed payments grew to $800,000! According to sources, Tami was awarded close to the $800K and will will be paid incrementally through Anderson’s NBA retirement fund.

In addition to the court victory, Tami’s daughter’s Lyric and Jazz Anderson are beginning to spend more time with their father – which is always a good thing!

Roman’s two teenage daughters are both in show business. Lyric is an aspiring model and singer, while the 16-year-old Jazz is a rapper who goes by the name Lady Jazz.

Added to her good news is the ‘Basketball Wives’ star increasing her endorsements including diet supplement NV and NV Sprinkles.

“What I like about NV Sprinkles is, I didn’t change my eating habits much. It just suppresses my appetite and keeps my hunger down,” said Roman to Radar Online after dropping 12 pounds in three weeks.

“I’m not a person who pushes products. This is genuinely what happened when I took it.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
