Evelyn Lozada Fires Off on Tami Roman: ‘You’re Lookin’ Like a Crackhead!’

After Tami Roman made a low blow at her “Basketball Wives” co-star Evelyn Lozada, the former “Livin’ Lozada” star took a dig at Roman’s weight.

Roman drew criticism and some surprising support when she accused Lozada of lying on her ex-husband Chad Johnson when it came to their domestic abuse scandal in 2012.

After that, Lozada took the gloves off and lashed out at Roman for her noticeably slimmer figure.

“You need to worry about something else like your health,” she says at the 2:39 mark. “You’re lookin’ like a crackhead these days.”

“Worry about ya edges,” she adds after Roman claims Lozada looks like Chyna the wrestler.

“Tammy bringing up my incident with Chad is the ultimate low blow,” Lozada says in a confessional. “And it’s dirty. And it’s pathetic. Like, I am actually glad that she said it because right now everyone in this room can see this is how evil this woman is. This is how vindictive she is, this is how nasty she is to try to once again bring me down. And I’m glad I don’t f— with her. She’s jealous.”

Back at the retreat, the barbs continued, with Lozada telling Roman to “eat a vitamin” and saying her legs look like “two mother f— ing candlesticks burning in the goddamn sun.”

“You’re dirty, you’re dirty!” she exclaimed.

Lozada’s “crackhead” diss comes weeks after Roman posted on Instagram addressing her slimmed down figure, which drew some concern from some fans.

“I didn’t lose weight, I lost my willingness to die. DIABETES IS NO JOKE!” the “Bonnet Chronicles” creator said June 14. “I detox, suppress my appetite and make better food choices. So enjoy yourself laughing, leaving negative comments & calling me a ‘crackhead’…but I have two beautiful daughters and I’m gon’ live for them by ANY means necessary. 💯”

Still, viewers found humor in Lozada describing Roman as a drug addict of sorts.

“When Evelyn said Tami ‘looking like a crackhead these days’ I hollered 😭 #BasektballWives #BBWLA.”

“Evelyn said Tami look like a crackhead 😂😂.”

“Evelyn told Tami… ‘She’s looking like a crackhead these days… TAKE A VITAMIN’ lmao I hit the floor when she started talking bout Tami legs.🤣”

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.
