‘Basketball Wives’ LA Season 3, Episode 5

Basketball Wives LA Season 3, Episode 5

“Basketball Wives LA” season 3, episode 5 premieres tonight on VH1.

This week, with the group still reeling from the effects of Jackie’s event, Sundy decides the ladies need a getaway to Palm Springs-but for the good of the group, Brittish is not invited. Meanwhile, Brittish’s fiancé, Lorenzo Gordon, negotiates a deal to play basketball overseas, leaving Brittish behind. While waiting for the other ladies in Palm Springs, Jackie makes it clear that she has no beef with anyone. Is she telling the truth?

The VH1 description of the reality series reads:

“Elbow throwing, trash talking and in-your-face action: forget the NBA, we’re talking about their wives! The successful VH1 franchise “Basketball Wives” just tapped a new team of leading ladies to take Los Angeles by storm on VH1′s “Basketball Wives LA.” The show introduces a group of dynamic women with relationships to some of the biggest basketball players in the game. This 10-episode, hourlong series will dive into the real-life locker room of these leading ladies, giving viewers a never-before-seen look at what it takes to live in La La Land and be connected to a famous professional athlete. For the most part, these women live the life with the best cars, biggest mansions and hottest bling, but living the high life is not all glamour and often there is a price to pay. Cameras will follow these women as they attempt to juggle their relationships, infidelity issues, children and friendships while trying to find the perfect balance between supporting their families and realizing their own career ambitions.”

“Basketball Wives LA” season 3, episode 4 airs Monday March 17, at 8 p.m. EST, on VH1. Check out the sneak peek below.

 

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.
