It’s one of television highest rated shows, with weekly audiences averaging at 2 million viewers.
However, much to its dismay, VH1′s ‘Basketball Wives’ is under fire- the victim of a campaign launched media mistress Star Jones who blasted the show’s producers for their handling of Jennifer Williams on camera assault, which saw her slapped in the face by a Ms. Nia Crooks.
Accused of misrepresenting African Women for the purposes of ratings, the producers faced more heat last week when reports claimed they were to take legal action against Williams for speaking out against the show and filing a lawsuit against Crooks- the assistant of alleged homey hopper Evelyn Lozada.
So, with Shaunie O’Neal reluctant to speak out against Evelyn and her unruly pet, we ask:
Should Basketball Wives Be Taken Off The Air?

HELL TO THE YESSSSS!!! I AM SOOOO SICK OF TAMMY AND EVELYN AND THEIR MESS. JEN AND ROYCE WILL BE OKAY. THEY HAVE OTHER TALENTS. THEY WILL SURVIVE AFTER BBW. SHAUNIE IS FULL OF S*&%. ALL BLACK WOMEN DO NOT ACT LIKE THEY DO. THEY NEED TO FIND A 9 TO 5 AND GET A REAL LIFE. MOST OF WHAT THEY DO IS FAKE. IT’S LIKE THEY ARE FIGHTING TO BE FAMOUS. EV AND OCHO BELONG TOGETHER. THEY BOTH ARE CLOWNS.

Shaunie Oneal likes to play the role of a business woman but what is she REALLY in the business of.
What’s so business minded about paying a group of rowdy 40 something women to hang out and argue on tv. The show needs better writers to bring out the best storylines in each lady like they do on Housewives.
For example, Jacqueline from New Jersey has NEVER had a feud with any of the other cast mates (until this season) but is interesting because of her family dynamic and the mess with Ashlee.
Phaedra from Atlanta has never had to raise her voice but makes for good tv because shes funny and hardworking and focus is put on her work as a lawyer.
Nene got in ONE fight this season but was still fun to watch because of her wit and business ventures.
On Bwives, the woman are well dressed bums with no real career prospects aside from hosting parties and begging for spinoffs and thats why they have to resort to these boxing matches for ratings. Its not fun its just stupid and so I will no longer be watching.

I’ve heard, seen and experienced some black women with terrible attitudes and this show tends to support those opinions which are actually false in whole.
As a African American\Black woman myself I know that bad attitudes are a reflection of the person and not an entire race of people. Also, I have seen women of all creeds, colors and background with great attitudes and some with bad. Most women choice is not to act belligerent.
So Basketball Ex Wives and Ex Girlfriends STEP IT UP and GET YOUR ATTITUDES TOGETHER.
Royce, Keshia, Jen = Women Suzie = Woman with diarrhea of the mouth
The rest need some help or just maybe they’re content with being a damn, ignorant ass fool.

When B wives first aired it was fun and entertaining. However Tammie and Ev need to get there grown woman on. They act like worse than teenagers, i can’t believe the attitude these 40plus women have it is a disgrace to all women. I wonder what they say to their daughters after acting like an animal on the show.
The bible says, when I was a child i acted like a child ; but when i became a woman i acted as a woman. Shaunie is no better , she likes shit as well and she is ugly as HELL!!! It is a shame how she stood and watch tired ass Ev and gofer mouth Susie put dead fish in that young lady room. I mean really Shaunie what grown woman does that. Susie has 2 faces .
If there is a new season and they continue with this foolishness then yes take those THUGS of the air!!! Our young women don’t need to see them embarrassing themselves on national TV!
