‘Basketball Wives’ Fans Irate Over VH1 Not Showing Epic Fight Between Malaysia Pargo and Jennifer Williams

After the latest episode of “Basketball Wives” failed to deliver on showing the stunning fight between Malaysia Pargo and Jennifer Williams, fans of the VH1 reality series aired out their feelings on Twitter.

During a midseason trailer that aired last week, Williams showed up uninvited to a group trip in Amsterdam, which was driven by Shaunie O’Neal as part of some research for her cannabis business. When Pargo arrived, she took aim at Williams — literally and figuratively — for throwing Roman under the bus with the rumor about Evelyn Lozada sleeping with O’Neal’s ex.

“You a f—ing hater, b—-,” Pargo exclaimed before picking up a restaurant table outdoors and tossing it in Williams’ direction.

However, some fans failed to realize that the promo teased all that was going to occur in the second half of season 7, instead believing the fight would happen in the very next episode. “Basketball Wives” can have up to 15 regular episodes in a season excluding the season finale and reunion special. It’s currently on episode 9.

As such, fans were not pleased about what aired instead, which was a show primarily about Jackie Christie’s acting debut and Tami Roman expressing regret to boyfriend Reggie Youngblood about the Lozada drama.

“Umm… I watched #basketballwives to see tables be thrown at Jen. Wtf happened???”

“So am I the only one that was expecting the scene with Malaysia throwing the table at Jenn’s head this episode or nah? Y’all tryna play me? Y’all thought I forgot 🙄#BasketballWives.”

“I just wanna see Malaysia throw the table at Jen #BasketballWives.”

“Waymin … What happened to Malaysia throwing the table? #BasketballWives.”

“Can we skip to the part where Jenny get the table thrown at her? 🤣 #BasketballWives .”

“Soooooo when is Malaysia gonna throw this table in Amsterdam? #BasketballWives.”

When the teaser dropped and went viral last week, Pargo soaked up all the attention from many fans applauding her for not backing down and going back to her old ways. But even though one warned her that stooping to that level was unnecessary, Pargo asserted she “will always defend myself.”

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.
