Evelyn Lozada and Jackie Christie are putting the past behind them. The “Basketball Wives” stars extended an olive branch toward one another on Monday night’s episode, which came after a massive fight between them on season 6.
Christie called up Shaunie O’Neal to see if she could make it to her play at the 4:03 mark. While her son’s prom prevented her from being able to go, Lozada planned to catch Christie’s stage play debut.
“Although Jackie and I have been through a rocky couple of months, I’m just trying to be supportive,” Lozada explains during a confessional. “I’m even more so interested in the play because it has to do with domestic violence.
“Obviously, that hits home for me,” she adds, nodding to her 2012 incident with then-husband Chad Johnson that Tami Roman used against her a couple of episodes back.
Last season, Lozada and Christie went at it after tensions boiled over after Christie called Lozada a b—- in front of her daughter, Shaniece. Outside a bar, Christie brought up the incident once more and told Lozada she read online that Shaniece is a “build-a-whore.” The two had a heated exchange before things became physical, with each of the women being held back as they hurled threats and expletives toward one another, as seen at the 5:13 mark.
“A lot happened between Jackie and I,” Lozada says in a confessional. “But I feel like she’s trying to be a different person the last couple of months and I can only respect it.”
Fans were happy to see their reconciliation.
“Proud of the maturity Evelyn showing Jackie #BasketballWives.”
“I actually like Jackie and Evelyn being friends. I’m not the biggest fan of Evelyn, but this is sweet. #BBWLA.”
Meanwhile, Lozada herself explained why she decided to move forward with Christie.
“Jackie’s actions at the infamous “retreat” showed me a different side of her. This is why im working on moving on #Basketballwives
