Basketball Wives” stars Evelyn Lozada and Shaunie O’Neal posted a fun video of them hanging out in the Bahamas and fans are confused.

In the video that was shared by the “Basketball Wives” Instagram page, O’Neal rocking a protective braided style, and Lozada are in a pool with two other friends.

Many fans believe that O’Neal is spending more time with Lozada and less time with fellow cast member Tami Roman to get more viewers to their show. The “Bonnet Chronicles” comedian and O’Neal began to distance themselves from each other after she revealed Jennifer Williams told her Lozada slept with O’Neal’s ex. Fans wonder why she’s so quick to forgive Evelyn and not Tami.

In past interviews O’Neal has called Tami a “sweetheart” and Evelyn a “bully.” 

Fans sounded off.

“I can’t stand Shaunie with her fake ass!!!”

“This whole season has been a mess to me , first off Evelyn is mad at tami for making comments about her #dvcase ,which wasn’t okay but in the same breath you talking about her health and saying she looked like a crackhead knowing she has health issues , no one is right in this whole thing and to make matters worse !! SHAUNIE HAS NO REAL RESPECT FOR TAMI SHE FAVORS EVELYN , she always chooses her over tami which is f*cked up because tami ALWAYS has her back ,”

“I’m not saying she’s fake for hanging with Evelyn. She’s fake because she is messy and has no loyalty when she laughs behind her friends backs.”

“They two grown woman that is not shaunies fault she has the chose to choose who she befriended.. that’s their beef not hers”

“SHAUNIE IS FAKE ASF. GLAD YOU SEEN IT TAMI. THAT’S WHY SHAQ SKEETED ON EVELYN”

 

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
