Basketball Wives” star Malaysia Pargo is no stranger to controversy, however, she might be at her wits’ end when it comes to the ladies on the show. 

In the recently released episode of “Basketball Wives,” Malaysia and co-star Jackie Christie are seen hanging out together and Malaysia talks to her long-time friend about a situation that happened in the previous episode.

Malaysia explained to Jackie that she attended Jennifer Williams’ launch party event and brought a friend, Ashlee Monroe, to join her. Little did Malaysia know her friend used to date Tyreke Evans, who shares a child with Malaysia’s co-star Angel Brinks.

In the previous episode while the ladies were all seated, Ashlee admitted, “I used to date Tyreke which is Angel’s baby daddy. Years ago.” 

The comment did not sit well with the other ladies and they all faulted Malaysia for bringing Ashlee to the event in the first place. 

In her conversation with Jackie, Malaysia confidentially let her know how much the situation impacted her. She said, “I had to take a day to myself and really sit and pray. I ended up going to church and talking to my pastor.” 

She further explained how she was “caught off guard” because she “didn’t know I was doing anything wrong. I know that my heart was in the right place.” 

The 41-year-old businesswoman insisted to Jackie, “I would have never ever in a million years did that s–t intentionally.” 

The situation heavily affected Malaysia because she confessed she’s over the group of ladies and done with the drama. 

She told Jackie, “The way that they were disrespectful I don’t ever want to speak to them ever again. Ever again.”

It became very clear to the Compton native that the other ladies are not friends with her. She expressed that when it comes to future plans the ladies can, “count her out” because “I have to protect myself.”

Malaysia is a fan favorite in the “Basketball Wives” franchise and many fans had her back after the episode aired. Malaysia noticed the love she was receiving and decided to shout out the supporters in her recent Instagram post. 

Wearing an all-pink jumpsuit with a Fendi bag, Malaysia posted up for a few photos and captioned the pictures, “I love you guys.” 

Her caption caught the hearts of many viewers, with her comments section being filled with nothing but love and support. 

“You don’t have to be around nobody you don’t want to. Keep shining”

“Girl it was giving jealous but God don’t play about you! Keep shining queen”

“No weapon formed against you will prosper! #teammalaysia”

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.
