The VH1 Blog is lucky enough to welcome back Royce Reed to her weekly recapping gig where she’ll give us her perspective on all things Basketball Wives 3. Check in each week to hear Royce’s take on the drama that goes down. This week: Fashion, loyalty, and lies told on Twitter.
THIS IS MY BLOG, I SAY WHAT I WANT, WHEN I WANT AND HOW I WANT. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT DON’T READ IT. I DON’T CARE!
Oh how I love writing these blogs episode by episode. Although I didn’t catch the full show until well after midnight, based off of Twitter I was pretty much able to figure out what was going on.
Let’s just get started. I’m definitely not going to write scene by scene this time, but more in general based off of the show itself as well as some tweets that were written within the past 24 hours.
Fashion!
There comes a time when we all must realize not everyone is into what’s in or what’s out, what season you can wear certain colors or if it’s considered illegal to wear white after Labor Day. At some point you realize the more important things in life are not THINGS.
I love myself far more than letting any and everyone get a piece of my goods. Constantly bringing up someone’s clothing as your only comeback should tell you that your mindset is completely shallow and basic. As stated on the show, I can change my hair and my clothes but who I am on the inside and the image I portray to those around me is far more important. I have a three-year-old son who will never think of his mother as being loose in the goose. I own a house, I’m not renting a condo. I own my car (paid in full), not making payments. I have a book that’s out, not lip gloss or an earring line that’s been talked about over a year. I’m going on a 14-city tour for a stage play. I’m in talks to endorse several businesses and I’m about to launch a non-profit organization called Dance To Live. Get your priorities in order ladies. The size of my bank account doesn’t make me act a different way or treat people differently.
Jennifer, as far as you TRYING to help me out, sweetie you still wear colored contacts…I can’t take you seriously. You may want to work on your walk also or wear lower heels. Moving on…
Loyalty!
Since when is negativity, misery and bitterness something to aspire to? When Suzie told me she had a conversation with Evelyn I wasn’t shocked about her squashing the drama, I was shocked about her bringing up the word “friend.” Being a good friend is not just “She’s so much fun to hang out with.” Being a good friend is not “Girl, get you a youngin and have sex all the time!” Being a good friend is not “Repeating conversations held in confidence that the other wouldn’t spread.” Being a good friend is definitely NOT “Calling your best friend jealous behind her back because you have a new man, and laughing that she doesn’t.” A good friend is someone who will tell you when you’re right or wrong, being a bitch or a wimp, lift you up when you’re down, be that shoulder to cry on, and hold your hair while you gag!
Meeka, I didn’t have a problem with you and to see that there was definitely more said that was told, I’m giving you the serious side-eye. I want to believe you, I tried to believe you, but at this point I’m going show by show to see you show your true colors. Thanks for the apology on Twitter tho. Took a lot of pride-swallowing to do that. Maybe you feel bad because you’ve gotten to know me, maybe you see I’m the most forgiving, maybe you’ve realized no one is really feeling you. But at least you apologized and I can respect that so again, thank you! Tami, you are my girl. Who knew we would be the closest and most real…Real yes, closest…lol. I love you girl. I should’ve listened to you and yes, I was an idiot. Lesson learned and fully noted.
Suzie definitely shocked me with her actions on this episode but I can’t say I’m surprised. I have no problem with people making up. Life IS too short, she’s right about that. But I refuse to bring someone back into my life on a friendship level who has vocalized I would never be ish in life because of my speech impediment, called me ugly more than once, pretty much spit in my face, and slandered me all over the radio, internet and national TV. Silly me if I thought Suzie was crazy for allowing that person to be back in her life because she felt she was a “good friend.” Damn Suzie, that makes me wonder if you have ANY real friends or if you are even friends with yourself. I love you, I do, but I can already see you are changing. Don’t forget I was the ONLY one who raised my hand to still be cool with you. Be careful chick!
Also, I never said Jen and I were cool, I said “I dont have a problem with Jen, our issues are based off of an opinion.” Come on Suzie, get the words right. Now on to Jen and Evelyn…As far as me being the one who backstabs or does a complete 360…Ummm, first if you were trying to say I’ve changed, that would be a 180 because a 360 is a full circle. In hindsight you gave me a compliment so thank you. I definitely AM still the same person. Backstabbing is something I’ve never done. I have yet to tell any of your secrets that weren’t on TV and even the ones that were, they never came out my mouth. Now if you’re speaking of the fact I finally said FCK YALL! Yes, I did. I don’t need you in my life to survive. You don’t own the earth, wind, fire or water so until you do “I don’t give a damn.”
I did find it a bit funny that you all were trying to get Suzie to “Drop the Zero” meaning me, as a friend when on Twitter you’re asking why I had issues with her becoming friends with you. Arent you contradicting yourselves? Just asking.
Lies Told On Twitter!
I swear Twitter should write us a check. Have you noticed most of the drama is based off of Twitter? It’s humorous to me how they claim it’s my Twitter that’s the brunt of the messiness but anyone who follows me knows that up until the reckless tweeting last night, I never spoke of any of them. They stay trying to have drama with me because I don’t entertain them and their childish antics. There were a few tweets made last night that I need to clarify. 1. Jen, you told all of us last year Eric was on Twitter, gave us his name and told us to follow him. Don’t start calling me a liar now because you got caught in a tall tale. We laughed and talked about what he was saying after the first season started airing. Granted his tagname has changed several times but it’s STILL Eric. I have no issue with Eric and until I do it’s really not that deep. I guess you think I owe you something after all the ish talking you’ve said about me behind my back when I felt we had a stronger bond back this time last year. Yea baby girl, first time shame on you, second time shame on me, third time…wont be a third time. TRUST THAT!
Evelyn Evelyn Evelyn…When will you learn you can’t give me your reputation sweetie. For the past two seasons it was attempted to make Royce seem like the jumpoff. The whore, the loose one, etc. I stopped fighting because I knew the truth would eventually come out. Staying true to ones self is the best source of defense. I stayed true to me and the REAL Royce shined through. As my profile states “You can run my name thru the dirt and I’ll still come out clean.” Rumors are rumors and truth is truth. You can search on the internet and try to come up with all these random names to throw at me but the truth is we can put the two of us on a polygraph and only one is gonna pass by saying “No, I didnt sleep with him.” I will NOT be your scapegoat. I don’t put my sex life out there for the world to see and call it what you want but my body is my temple. I don’t let everyone in. When I decide to be active, its with my MAN! Its never a one night stand!

Royce very nice recap! Everything you said was on point! I live in Orlando & have heard much about you but never will I not like you because of what others say. Anyway will your play every come to the O??
very proud of you Royce but keep shining and do not worry about Jen and Eve. Love you!
WOW NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM A SMALL GIRL LKE HER ITS LKE A GOOD MESSY GIRL GOIN BAD
P.S. TEAM EVELYN
First is the play based on Eric Dickey book “Cheaters”? Second Even thru u are the youngest, I think u are more mature than all the otha gurls put together. I applaud u for not feeding into der drama n bull, dey r sum unhappy ass female who take pleasure from talkin and tryna belittle others. Its funny cuz da asuming da show is pose to b bout female who r married to basketball players but no of dem r. da only one is Meeka n she jst came onto the show, n she shaded 2. She tries to play both side to fit into the gang cuz “she a wannabe” but if ur as real as u claim u r u wudn’t have 2 do none of dat bak stabbing 2 fit in.
Recap was awesome Royce. Seems the me the circle is very insecure and when people reject them such as you and Tami did they attack. Very immature of them.
Royce, You have to stay true to yourself. Envy and jealousy is a true sin and people are chasing behind the three blind mice because of that reason. They want to be Evelyn,Jen and Shaunie. Why? is beyond me. They have no real loyalty and they feed off of negativity. Now we all know that Shaunie is doing all of this for higher ratings. Constantly passing information and causing drama.I guess the negativity brings in bigger checks. She was barely on the show in season 1, but hey anything for higher ratings. Now real talk and Contradicting myself, I would be the mole too! (Just like Shaunie) Just sneaky and low down, BUT I wouldn’t be fake about it everyone would know, and I would be saying moving on…..to the next scene, Not being fake like I want to be friends. There are guys tweeting you and going for evelyn how dumb are they. As a so called man why are you so rapped up in this show (Sean). Royce you have always been 100 with your feelings and I hope you stay that way. You and Tami are true friends and I hope you guys continue to succeed. Good luck with all your future endeavors. Keep the blogs coming.
I Love Royce! You are so on point with what you are saying. You are my fav on the show and Tami also. The realest. Nuff said
I Love Royce! You are my fav on the show and Tami also. The realest. Nuff said
THEY just plain old empty inside. SO TRUE ROYCE
I don’t understand how grown ass women talk about owning a luxury shoe store, global real estate company, and a lipstick line…but engage in convo that a teenager with no concept of life get into.
Everybody talks about Royce clothes and hair…but unlike the trashy hooker…she is trying to make moves in her life so she can make a name OUTSIDE of this show.
Love ya babe!!!!! Don’t be bothered by the foolishness from Evilyn and her lackey
Very Honest, Very True! I Can Say With Personal Experience You Cant Be Friends With People Who Are Enemies (Playing Both Sides) Because Your Loyalty Will Be Stretched Thin…You Have To Choose! I Am Surprised To See Suzie On The Show This Season Giving That She Said She Wouldn’t Be But ,She’s A People Pleaser (Not Hating On Her) & She Likes Having Everyone Like Her And Thats Fine But You Also Have To Realize You Are The Company You Keep. How Is She Going To Be Friends With You But Trying To Re-Kindle Something With Evelyn (Your Enemy) Not To Mention How Eve Dogged Her Out???Now With Jen & Eve…I Like Jen She’s A Nice Person Keeps To Herself But She’s Talking About How She Tried To Help You With Your Fashion But I Wish She Would Part Her Hair Evenly In The Front (That Irks Me)!!!!!!! She’s Portrayed On The Show As Eve’s Sidekick So Idk…I Use To Like Eve But The Way She Dogged Out Suzie Was Classy-Less And Over The Top She’s Just Too Much & I Think Because Everyone Knows She Has A Daughter It Makes It Worse The Way She Acts….This Whole Chad Situation Seems Fishy & How She Did Tammi And These T-Shirts Are A Hot Mess And Just Plain Rude!Jen & Eve Keep Trying To Recruit Members To Their “Clique” (So Highschool) So Everyone Can Have Beef With You Which Is Very Childish….I Love Tammi She’s Been Real Since She Came On The Show And She Hasnt Changed!I Love Rocye She’s So Sweet & Bubbly & She’s Petite But Will Whoop Your Butt! Now This Meeka Girl…I Dont Care For Her,She’s Two Faced And She’s Trying To Fit In With The “Most Popular” People I Guess So She’s A NO In My Book! And Shuanie Is Funny…Trying To Make Peace My A** Girl Stop You Trynna Get That Check!!! LOL

I LOVE ROYCE…I DINT AT FIRST BUT NOW I DO……I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE EVELYN GET HER A** BEATEN BY TAMMI OR ROYCE….JEN NEEDS TO GET AWAY FROM EVELYN SINCE EVELYN BEEN LAUGHING BEHIND HER BACK THAT SHE DONT HAVE A MAN JEN SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER HUSBAND ..YES HE CHEATED IN THE PAST SO WHAT…NOW EVELYN HAS A MAN AND YOU DONT AND SHE LAUGHS AT U BEHIND UR BACK…SHAUNIE , WELL I GOTTO LOVE HER SHE IS DOING HER THING.

AND OH ONE MORE THING ….I DIDN’T KNOW JEN EYES WERE CONTACTS LMAO….LMMFAO
Why is Royce trying to make it seem like she’s so innocent? Like she’s never said or did anything behind their back.. Jen is right she has no fashion style and half of the time she’s on the show she looks like a hot mess and she knows it. So why come down on someone that was trying to at least put her in the right direction.. And why try to put someone else down for trying to get their life together? Jen is trying to get back on her feet.. This makes me sick, why is it that Royce has to put down other woman for trying to make their money and life the lifestyle they want? Jen didn’t do anything thing to her. If she chooses to follow Evelyn then so be it. Royce needs to get her priorities in order. She said she doesn’t want to be labeled as “loose in the goose”? Did anyone see the MIA pool video she was in? Enough said. Royce can try and fake like she a “good girl” but we all can see by pass shows and the way she acts that’s not really true. As far as Suzie, The girl is trying to make some money by making up with Evelyn and Shauie. It’s about money not making friends. And come on a stage play, you’re gonna be working at least four shows a day making a couple of hundred dollars a day with a bunch of no names… if your gonna brag, brag about opening a business or a spin off show… Royce needs to grow up. Let’s face it, if she wasn’t on the show next season know one would even notice… How about you try being a decent mother, better human being, and bow out with grace why you still can. Plz and Thank you
I really wish royce stop writing these blogs cause it making her look like a hater. the problem with royce is that she think these girl are her friends and no one is really friends on her. you can tell that jen is getting sick of when evelyn talks about her having sex with ppl. royce was hurt when she found out gloria didnt like her and the look on her face when tami was confront meeka bout talkin bout royce waspriceless. she gets hurt easily. royce is just a hurt little girl looking for friends in all the wrong places. she cried on season 1 reunion show. if she worries about evelyn being a hoe one more time ima scream its not like we all dont know this and evelyn dont care she puts it out there. she swear tami is on her side but let get over the shirts ad ex husband her and evelyn would be the best of friends in a heart beat.
Go girl Go!!! Royce is like the only girl on that show that is real, i may not always like her but she is always keeping it real. Props to her
I may not like everything someone wears but it would never change my feelings about who they are as a person.God made Everyone different for a reason!! I can’t believe the (girls) on this show! They need to grow up!! They are not in high school anymore. Every woman should be able to wear what they please.
OH AND ONE MORE THING YES AGAIN….IF EVELYN IS 35, THEN I’M 17…HONESTLY EVELYN IS A GOOD LOOKING WOMAN HOWEVER I HONESTLY THOUGHT SHE WAS 45..LIKE SERIOUSLY THOUGHT SHE WAS OLDER THAN TAMMI..JEN AND ROYCE LOOKS THE YOUNGEST. EVEN SHAUNI LOOKS LIKE 35-37 YUP WAY YOUNGER THAN EVELYN. MAYBE EVELYN HAD TO LIE JUST TO LOOK YOUNG ON TV ..BUT SHE IS OK LOOKING NOT BAD TO THE EYES. BUT DONT LIE BOUT UR AGE MAMA. .#JUST SAYING
You have nonthing 2 worry about Mrs. Rose Royce! It’s obvious that Ev is a lying high class ho. If Ochocino marry her than he’s a damn fool. She had 2 use some form of crack 2 get that boy hooked. She’s is not the hole package.

Basketball Wives is really childish and stupid this 3rd season. Meeka is wishee washee. There’s no theme except degrading and belittling each other and as black women we have enough of that then to go on television and act so ignorant. I can’t even stand to watch the stupidity. Evelyn is in her mid 30′s and fighting????? What??? Meeka is fake. Jennifer and Suzie, poor Suzie!! are the only ones acting like Ladies!! Tammie is the real homegirl though, love ya Tammie but you gotta stop letting people send you.
Royce I watched all the shows, it’s clear that the villains are Jen and Evelyn..Don’t even worry about them especially Evelyn the nasty, she got zero Class. You are def shining girl, keep your head up!
Get em Royce!!!
AMEN! I commend thee Royce, I think that it is well past the time for you to call a spade a spade. It is simply sad the heights and debts to which someone will hate others- obviously you weren’t the common denominator of the drama as seen in the Italy episodes. I think you called it just right- people need to know themselves and work on what is inside instead of focusing on what is on the outside. I find it absolutely tragic that you were placed on the show – and this is my opinion, what I have put together from the obvious devil horns appearing- to be the trophy of what these women have felt they had to wrestle against, I have yet to see you be anyone’s jump-off, release lude naked pictures of yourself, demean your integrity by staying with a man that will use and abuse you you by sleeping with reckless amounts of women just to gain a dollar from a divorce, sleep with a man on the first night on national television and think that he is REALLy going to walk down the isle with you and before marriage is actually consumated, try to impregnate yourself with twins That is the ULTIMATE NO NO and a major hustler move…as though the man can’t see our antics. Nor have I yet seen you talk about your friends viciously and put them down or stand them up for a CHARITY event because the clothing weren’t name brand. I hope that you will move on to greater because it is clear these women don’t want to see you flourish and have nothing but hatred in their hearts towards you-except Tami!
go take care of your son and stop this drama u are too grown for this….instead of writing these blogs all the time take the time to worship god and hang with your son
