‘Basketball Wives’ Fans Dismiss ‘Fake’ Friendship with Kristen Scott and  Evelyn Lozada, Once Again Shame Scott’s Return

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

As filming for the new season of “Basketball Wives” continues, Evelyn Lozada, Kristen Scott and executive producer Shaunie O’Neal were recently seen hanging out together.

But fans are not convinced by their apparent friendship, and they can’t get over Scott coming back to the show.

The ladies all seemed to be bonding together in the silent clip uploaded to a “Basketball Wives” fan Instagram account Feb. 28. But fans deemed each one of them as phonies.

“Fake Faker Fakest🙄”

“The fakery is blinding honestly. Can’t decide with Kristen.”

“All fake and whack. Bring back Mob Wives already.”

“What in Fake birds of a feather kissing ass is going on?”

Then, fans took issue with Scott apparently swooping in to take friend Jennifer Williams’ spot on the show. Williams has not been spotted filming since shooting began on season 8 back in January.

“OG was right about Kristen being thirsty to take Jenn’s place this b—h is a flip flop.”

“The new Jen lol”

This is the second time in nearly a month that fans have voiced their problems with Scott being back on the show over someone like Tami Roman.

One of the first times Scott, who was new to the show last year, was seen filming was in mid-February with Lozada and Jackie Christie.

“I’m pissed that Kristen is back smmh if Tami not on it I’m not watching.”

“Why did they bring boring Kristen back 😂😂 smh I’m not ready,I won’t be watching again I guess.”

“Didn’t we tell y’all not to bring Kristen’s thirsty ass backkkkk !!!!! 🙄”

Meanwhile, Williams’ lack of inclusion in any videos surrounding the making of season 8 is curious. The star has not posted anything relating to “Basketball Wives” on her Instagram page and instead has focused on promoting her clothing line,  Classy Girl Wardrobe.

As for Roman, she also has made no mention of the VH1 reality series on her social media account. However, she was spotted with Ogom “O.G.” Chijindu, who has been filming, at a Los Angeles gym last month. When the fitness center posted the photo, they included a filming emoji in one of the hashtags, making fans think Roman may show up on the show after all.

Roman, however, has said she’s only in talks to return.

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.
