‘Basketball Wives’ Fans Give Evelyn Lozada Side Eye for Directing Anger Toward Tami Roman Instead of Jennifer Williams

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

After Tami Roman unearthed some text messages that showed Jennifer Wiliams was integral in spreading the rumor about Evelyn Lozada sleeping with Shaunie O’Neal’s ex, it seemed Lozada was more fired up at Roman than Williams. And “Basketball Wives” fans want to know why that’s the case.

Roman had hinted at O’Neal that she knew about something that “might affect you.” Once Roman got Williams to admit she heard Lozada slept with one of O’Neal’s past partners, Lozada vehemently denied the claim.

“I would never do that s— to you,” she told the “Basketball Wives” executive producer.

However, Roman spoke to O’Neal one on one and shared a group text thread with her showing that Williams was at the root of the rumor.

“‘Shaunie never got back to me ladies, we need Malaysia to drop a dime to her about her ex and that witch,’” O’Neal read from the messages. “‘You need proof and solid hardcore proof,’” she added of another’s response.

“Ugh, I know. Gotta nail her ass to the cross with this. With no resurrection.’” she then read of what Williams texted in response.

Regardless, Lozada reserved most of her anger for Roman, tweeting several disparaging remarks about Roman when the episode aired and refused to back down from the confrontation.

“You’re a liar!” Lozada tells Roman.

“There was no motive, there was no plan,” Roman replies.  “You sound stupid sitting over there saying s— like that.”

“Why are you always starting something?” Lozada says. “You are not a thought in my mind.”

And although Williams ultimately apologized to O’Neal for spreading the rumor, fans remained confused about why Lozada wasn’t directing her anger at Williams instead of Roman.

“So Evelyn’s just gonna completely bypass the entire plot Jen had against her? To argue with Tami? OK. #BasketballWives.”

“#BasketballWives Why is Evelyn trying to point the finger at Tami when Jen clearly said some PEOPLE told her?”

“Evelyn just tries to find any way to blame Tami…girl Jen admitted she brought the rumor to Tami. #BasketballWives.”

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.
