Fans Think This Photo Proves Tami Roman is Leaving ‘Basketball Wives’ for Spin-off with Mona Scott-Young

Tami Roman has been said not to be returning to “Basketball Wives”  next season, but that doesn’t mean she’s done with reality TV for good. The “Bonnet Chronicles” creator on Friday posted her “squad” which included “Love and Hip-Hop” franchise creator Mona Scott-Young along with her longtime boyfriend Reggie Youngblood. Also pictured was publicist and TV producer Ernest Dukes.

“Living my blessed life 🙌🏽🙌🏽 #Squad @monascottyoung @reggieyb1 @erndukes,” Roman captioned the photo.

The photo op taken at Scott-Young’s offices has fans buzzing that a new reality show with Roman and her main squeeze is coming to fruition.

“Yesssss Tami I always loved you but your ambition is what I love to see from you.”

“Oh God. Mona about to try to turn her life into another 1 of Jerry Springer shows.”

“Congrats Tami on all your future goals. U are truly a person I can look up to for life advice and crazy commentary from @officialbonnetchronicles Keep on shining.”

“I don’t know what you @tamiroman and @monascottyoung got cooking but I CAN NOT WAIT to see it! So proud of this move your making. #blessings😇.

“Y’all bout to have a marriage spin-off???? 👏🏾👏🏾😁😁😁😁.”

“Here we go! Start rolling! Beverly trillbillies.”

The last commenter hit the nail on the head.

Roman has dished before about her reality show featuring her almost-fiancé and their blended families.

“Beverly Trill Billies” will show how Roman and Youngblood’s families, which are from the city and Houston respectively, navigate life together in Los Angeles.

“I’m thankful that the spin-off is coming now because I get to show the many different facets and dimensions that aren’t actually seen on ‘Basketball Wives,’” Tami told Life & Style in July. “You know I have this great guy, I have great children, I have a great career, I do a lot of philanthropy work, I’m involved socially in my community and outreach programs and I have an amazing blended family, and so it felt like the right time to do something like this.”

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.
