Evelyn Lozada Follows Through on Prom Date with Michigan Senior

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Better late than never … so says “Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada who finally went to prom last night — TWENTY YEARS after graduating from high school, TMZ has learned.

Here’s how it all went down — just a few months ago, a high school senior from Bloomfield, Michigan reached out to the VH1 star on Twitter and threw up a hail mary … by asking her to be his date to the prom.

Shockingly, Lozada ACCEPTED — thinking it would be a fun experience … particularly because she never went to her own high school prom because she was pregnant at the time.

We’re told Evelyn’s date Anthony was quite the Romeo … and even bought Evelyn’s corsage.

She took care of the rest — paying for transportation (in a sick Denali) … and a fancy dinner — plus, she paid for her own plane ticket out from L.A.

We’re told the two had a great time — with Evelyn dancing her face off the entire night … but unfortunately for her date — her prom dress stayed ON after the party.

Still, not a bad night.

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.
