UDPATE – Basketball Wives reunion clips are coming in – which all but confirms the show is not cancelled – and the first is of Evelyn Lozada admitting she regrets her bottling throwing incident. Stop the press!! VH1 will air the Basketball Wives reunion in two parts with its usual host John Salley.
Season four has been a trying one for the cast mostly for Evelyn and Tami Roman who have received a slew of backlash for their over the top drama and bullying. In the clip host John Salley asked Evelyn why she held back from tearing up,
“Every time I’m interviewed, I’m asked if there’s something you could take back from all of the seasons, it’s that moment. Not too long ago I was driving with my step-daughters in the car, and they watched that scene and they think it’s funny. But it’s not funny, and I need to be a better example.”
Hopefully this was a serious wake up call for Evelyn and the remaining cast and season 5 will produce something different.
Basketball Wives reunion will air on June 4th and June 11th at 8pm. Watch the clip below:

Outside of the reunion, Evelyn apologized to Star Jones for accusing her of riding on the coattails of the show,
“Know we’ve discussed my comments 2 @VibeMagazine privately but want 2 publicly apologize 4 my words. Ur an amazing example! @JawnMurray @StarJonesEsq @VibeMagazine I adore her Jawn and a change has come. Thank you for helping put us together.”
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.
