Basketball Wives’ Evelyn Lozada Wants to Be A Fitness Queen

Evelyn Lozada has moved on from her recent drama and has started a new venture: fitness expert. According to TMZ, Lozada has signed a deal with youthH20, an organic and caffeine-free energy shot. The deal is reportedly worth six figures and will give Lozada a chance to break into the fitness industry. According to sources close to Lozada, she has plans to start her own chain of workout videos and is in talks to be the face of an exercise equipment company.

While Lozada is being secretive about her newest venture, she was recently involved in some public drama via Twitter. A fan asked Tiffany Jack, one of Chad Johnson’s mistresses, about her involvement in the demise of Johnson’s marriage to Lozada saying “Wow! Do u care about his marriage to @EvelynLozada.” Lozada responded to the message before Jack with a snippy “Is this a trick question? #ChildPlease.”

After seeing Lozada’s tweet, Jack went off on a rant against the Basketball Wives star. “Please pull up the heart monitor app on your iPhone & take a deeeep breath before you collapse a lung, grandma. You don’t know anything about me or anything about what you think you’re watching,” she tweeted. “It’s healthy to see you’re spending your ‘new’ time, ‘new’ energy, ‘new’ growth & ‘new’ outlook on Twitter all day, though. You’re quite the muse. I literally don’t have time for your character defects & your energy doesn’t exist in my world. Best of luck to you, I mean that. #allthewaybye.”

Johnson tried to intervene by telling Jack to refrain from tweeting Lozada and while she didn’t say anything else about his ex-wife, she did drop a bomb about their relationship. “@ochocinco phone like grown-ups sir, since you told me you’d propose to me at a stadium, etc. Grown stuff. This tweet makes no sense,” she continued. “Chad Johnson, I don’t live in a vacuum of perpetuated drama …I have reporters calling my parents. You care for me more than adding more of that to my life. There is a stronger, better, healthier man inside of you, I believe that to be true… Grow…C’mon.”

Meanwhile, Lozada didn’t tweet Jack directly again and instead tweeted that she was done with the arguments. “Respond to a fool once bcuz u might change their life! But if u respond twice u become one too! #PsychoStalker,” she wrote on her Twitter page.

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.
