Throughout this season of Basketball Wives, we’re happy to announce that Royce Reed will once again be recapping every episode exclusively for the VH1 Blog to give the world her completely unfiltered take on the show. But we also wanted to let you know that Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozada will also be writing their own show commentary on their personal blogs which we’ll be monitoring and we’ll be filling you in on what they have to say for themselves as their drama continues. Here are some excerpts from their recaps of this week’s fiery show, and we’d love to hear from if you their explanations sway your opinion one way or another.
As you heard on tonight’s show, Evelyn is upset with me about a blog that was written by my publicist. Reason being, I didn’t have time to personally do it because I was on vacation in Italy with my girlfriends. I honestly didn’t think she wrote anything awful or harmful. It stated my opinion and I feel I’m allowed to have one. Take a look for yourself. Was this statement really worth all the drama?
“The idea of me being jealous of Evelyn’s engagement is a bunch of crap and NO I don’t mess around with the same type of guys that Evelyn dates. I am just getting out of a ten year relationship and am very cautious about who I go out with.”

What I really have a hard time understanding is that this blog came out July 19th, 2011 and the first time I heard about Evelyn being mad was in November 2011. When we filmed the reunion in July the blog was out and she didn’t mention it then. It is just absurd to me that we are fighting over something so simple in my eyes but I guess not in hers. So be it!
Tonight the world witnessed for themselves the type of evil I am dealing with. These words pretty much sum up the state of affairs.
Her comment tonight, “I can F*** whoever I want to F***, I’m not marrying no damn athlete!” was again, very hurtful. Basically she is still dissing my relationship and my fiance. What type of so-called friend would have the audacity to do that? And why would she contradict herself? Didn’t you just say on the show “I can f*** whoever I want to F***, I’m not marrying no damn athlete!” I don’t get it! Whether you are having sex with, marrying, dating or not you are still sleeping with athletes and my man happens to be an athlete! DUH! That would be the same type of person!
And what is so crazy is that Jen was OUT having “relations” with athletes and trying to play the innocent role on the show. Last season Jen was dating, however, she acted as though she wasn’t to viewers. At least, I give our viewers ALL of me; I don’t lie to any of you guys regarding my personal life, friendships, etc…This is very hurtful to me because I thought she was a true friend, I was loyal and I seriously thought she would have been happy for me. We were friends for twelve years and regardless she has judged Chad and me. Meanwhile, she is doing the same thing. I hope this clarifies a few things for everyone.

Evelyn and Jennifer,
It appears as though this friendship fell apart because at the time Evelyn was falling in love, Jennifer was falling out of love. You both were on opposite sides of the fence which made it hard to genuinely provide support during each others life changing events. Evelyn needed Jennifer’s support as she embarked upon a new relationship but was hurting dealing with her divorce so it makes it hard to be completely supportive. On the same token, Jennifer was going through a sad time in her life an like most women, when we are in a new relationship (Evelyn) and things are all new, we’re happy and want to share our happiness with the world but how rude would it be to flaunt your happiness around your closest friend who coming out of a long term relationship. And this is where it all begins. I feel that Jennifer (as much as I hate to use this word) maybe a bit jealous of Evelyn’s happiness and now cant have her friend to hang around as often as she would like because she is now tied down. I also think that the things she had to say about Chad were unnecessary. On the flip side, Evelyn’s reaction was overboard. I appreciate her for defending her man but once you realize that your questions arent getting answered or that things arent making sense….fall back, smile and keep it moving. I understand the frustration as you both have been friends for 10 years which is heart breaking to the both of you, im sure. But you both should be honest with yourselves and think about what you could be missing potentially from the lost of this friendship. If its not enough to hold on to, let it go. If there truly is a bond and a love for each other there then be big little women, bury the hachett (did i spell that right?) and be there for each other.
P.S. – Im speaking from experience….I was the ‘Jennifer’ in my scenario but one thing i didnt do was speak ill of my friends man. We just simply began to lose touch as i was coming out of a rough time and relationship, my bestie was getting married. We’re still good friends but I barely see her or speak to her now. Some times friends grow apart. It is what it is.

Oh B.S Evelyn ! You’re a fake, you are no ones friend but your own! Jennifer helped you through some really rough times with your last FAILED relationship WITH AN ATHLETE, she was going through a divorce from being married to an ATHLETE. You expect her to jump up and down for you knowing the hell BOTH of you went through? A FRIEND would have taken all of that into concideration, but you expect her to not voice her fears for you or to you, her Friend? Her interview on that radio show, she wasn’t saying anything the public wasn’t already aware of. At this point I’m thinking you’re not good enough for Chad. He loves his women not woMAN, women. He loves being romantic,doing the unexpected. He’s Chad the cad, but a gentleman. He’s the type of man women love to date but know they can NOT marry.
You want to be petty because Jennifer is not being fake pretending she is happy that you are marrying Chad, so you’re being the hypocrite! She told you point blank to your face how she felt, you using some fake blog as an excuse because she is not smiling in your face, lying and telling you how happy she is for you. That is not a friend, your FRIEND told you what she thought. that’s why you acting more stupid and petty. or is it that you’re mad because you know deep down she is right?Jennifer, I hope you read this as well, move on, forget Evelyn. You don’t need a so called friend that turned on you the way she did and talking her mess. With or without Chad. She is no longer a factor, you keep doing you.
Hi Evelyn,
You are such a beautiful girl, I think because of your r/s with your dad you get yourself into these relationships that you settle for. You deserve better, how can you say it is okay to be with a man that is not 100% committed to you. You should have more respect for yourself, especially for the sake of your daughter. What are you teaching her, pls love yourself, don’t settle for less.
Or do you just love the money and be blind to his infidelities?
Eve for real, like she didn’t even mention you. She simply stated she doesn’t share your taste in men what’s wrong with that. And the fact that she doesn’t want to marry an athletes is her personal taste don’t you think she has that right or do you just wanna be surrounded by yes people?
I read the blog Jen wrote and there wasn’t anything offensive in it. I think Evelyn doesn’t want to address her real issues for fear she would loose Chad so she’s taking it out on Jennifer. To wanna punch someone in the face over that but won’t punch Ocho for cheating shows me she wants to have an excuse to have beef with Jennifer for being right. Evelyn knows she making a mistake but that money, fame, and wanting to prove everyone’s wrong is more important than her self worth. Shaunie and Tami aren’t her friends because they want her to fail, so they’ll say nothing so they can talk about her later. Evelyn needs to sit in someone’s chair. I’ve dated athletes too, but I have a self esteem and refuse to stay with a man who will put my body in danger by sleeping around, and condoms are never 100%. I married a man without their accounts, but respects me. That’s more important, but some people equate happiness with money but in the end there’s nothing but pain at the end.
Evelyn & Jen,
Ladies this argument is petty, how would you feel if something happended to either one of you, and the other didn’t get to apologize you would feel real dumb! I shoulda did this, I shoulda did that. Appreciate each other while your here on earth. And Evelyn, I say this out of love, but it seems like its okay for you to raise your voice at folks but when they do it to you its a problem. Don’t get me wrong I like both of you ladies, this little riff/ disagreement is so dumb. Life is too short for bull. Evelyn I hope things work out for you and Chad I like seeing you both together because you are so real, and yall seem to really love one another. And you say what most of us as ladies are thinking. I really wish you and Jen will make up. Evelyn, Jen doesn’t have to be supportive of your relationship she is just being cautious because what she has been through. Her husband treated her like crap when she didn’t deserve it. I couldn’t stand the sight of him talking to her like that! And Jen I say this out of love to you, when Evelyn found out about her brother in-law having cancer you should have been supportive, swallowed your pride and picked up the phone. At the end of the day if you ladies do love each other you will bury the beef!!
Could someone PLEASE explain to me the purpose of this show? Who’s married? Evelyn’s not even engaged to a basketball player so why is she there? For entertainment? I’m not entertained, I’m embarressed for them and for me for being a African American woman! It’s bad enough when we’re judged just for being black, so when BLACK WOMEN get on tv acting like these women, it makes us all look bad. I really wish that tackey Tami would stop with that smushing and smacking of her mouth when she talks! I will not be watching this season nor any other season if it comes back…
all of you were pressuring jennifer to leave her husband and saying bad things about him, that was true. the things about chad as we see are true. why is jennifer getting flax for doing the same things elvelyn shaunie, and the other girls did to her. elvelyn knows what she has in chad and its not fidelity. she did no more to you than you did to her. you’re unhappy, every one sees it. but you’ll hand on to marry chad. don’t blame jen. Yes, she did get slap in the face, it was not a push.
Evelyn, how old are you, you act like a junior high school student. Please grow up,and do it fast.
Stop being petty and catty, jennifer is a good person,unlike yourself. She has been a true friend and a real person. You need to take her advice since she has actually been married before and may have some great advice. You have been engaged how many times and still no husband, you have a pattern going. Get some help and get over yourself.
I was excited to see the show return, but I was so disapointed to see the fighting that is been displayed on the show was discussing. Evelyn mouth is like a garbage can, she is to classy to act the way she does, what example is she setting for her daughter and other young girls who admire her. Jennifer and Evelyn friendship style, laughter and loyalty added such a nice flavor to show they really set the example on friendship hope they will work it out !
If Evelyn and Jennifer were really friends to begin with they should be able to get pass this little kid stuff. PS. When your GROWN you don’t talk about each other because you are no longer “friends”.
OMG You can tell this girl (Jennifer) has no friends. No LOYALTY! How dare you talk about your friend’s man like that?? Regardless if you feel a certain way about him, you need to let her know. Not go around BLASTING it on the radio/blogs. She’s your friend above anything and you need to have her back not make her look stupid for dating the guys she does. Look her you were married to?? Evelyn, truly you remind me of myself. I am such a loyal person and I’ve gotten hurt with “friends” in the past but I’ve realized this happens to ppl like us bc we care too much. A lot of ppl don’t see it like we do and once we call someone a friend, we mean it! Most people ONLY look out for themselves and don’t really care. JENNIFER, GROW UP! And get over yourself. Just bc you have money doen’t mean your BETTER. In GOD’S eyes your just AS equal as a homeless man on the streets. Stop trying to be something that your not just bc u have FAME. && EVELYN avoid giving yourself so much to people that don’t deserve it and I’m sure you’ll avoid getting hurt again. TRUST ME i had to learn the hard way:/
Jennifer, keep doing you! Jennifer is a very classy lady and unfortunately she just happened to take friendship with a miserable, classless, gold digging, #6 train low life who’s looking for company. I things really went south for Jen’s relationship with the girls, but especially Evelyn, when she launched her lip color line. They all showed their hating once they found out that Jen DOES have a mind of her own and was doing more than following that sorry Evelyn around. How dare her be about her business. I’ve lost all respect for Shaunie because she tends to cosign for all of Evelyn’s self righteous indignation toasted all of the other girls. Note: you notice she can’t stand any of the classy and educated women who are moving up and doing things with themselves? Evelyn is just a hood rat…a low lifer hood rat who has the nerve to walk around like her so called “real-ness” is the most important factor in life. What she should do is figure out why she all but told Chad that he can cheat on her as long as he wears a condom and tells her….WHAT? Is fighting her best asset? Why is it that she has no goals? That sorry shoe shop of hers…please….did she sell her dignity instead of a pair of shoes? Please….
This is the most rediculous thing I have ever seen on television. Perhaps in middle school I may have witnessed something so childish. Evelyn, I would have been through with you after the way you performed in Italy (for ratings I’m sure). Grow up and stop acting like you the big bad wolf. It’s nott becomming. You comment over and over about Jen’s contacts yet you have some surguries (alot different that simple contacts) so keep it real and tell the viewers about that why don’t you. Jen, I and many others are proud of you for how you are handling the situation. Personally I am so sick of this show and I am going to start a petition asking viewers to join me in boycotting this show as well as your so-called show with Chad. I have had enough of you. As for Shaunie, I have lost all respect for you. I really admired you and thought that you were ALL THAT but you are just as pathetic as Evelyn. You pretend not to like drama while you encourage it at every turn. Stop hiding behind VH! as I believe the credits show you as the Executive Producer. Well you all betterget you 15 minutes now because this show is a turn off as you will soon see!
Tonights Show was sad, because once again it protraded women in a negative light. All black women don’t fight they have learned how to us their words, too get their point across. I’m so tired of Evelyn acting as if she represent women who’s been thru something but at the same time she sold shoes at a $1,000.00 a pair. And Evelyn don’t get mad because your man is known for getting around and everybody’s aware of that fact, as you say, It is what it is, so sit down and find your lady button and push it. I have no respect for people like you or your assistant, who just wanted more airtime. Good for Jen I wouldn’t want to be around women like you either, try growing up and act like a real women, wife, mother, sister or keep acting like the man you’ve become!
Jennifer, keep being the women you are and let the ghetto animals continue to be animals
Hint (Tami and Evelyn)
I feel that Jennifer has a right not to deal with those getto bunnies how old are you really? are you as young as your children mentally? Who handles disagreements by fighting? If that is how they are know wounder they feel Jenn thinks she is better because she is and on grown up status….who has children that has graduated high shcool and still conduct themselves in that manner. Tammi and Everlynn need to check that ghetto no body is scared of that attitude.
Evelyn you are making a big deal out of nothing. it’s ok if jennifer disagrees with that does not make her not your friend. Please stop making an issue out of this and acting like jennifer really hurt you your man is already the person he is I can see you being taken advantage of. right now you’re only making people hope your marriage tear up worse than anybody because you’re so busy getting fired up at jennifer because she has an oppinion, I think her statement was not at you but a general statement she’s not joined to you at the hip. You think it’s all about you she is divorcing a man who is an athlete and you said yourself with nher how athletes act. You have made youself look like a bully.Are you? And it’s Jennifer’s business if she don’t want to let the world know what’s private to her that’s a choice you all make that makes it 1oo%. You and Chad are hopefully not keeping it real if so you deffinately should’nt marry him he dogs you out what he says is not funny it shows he will not treat you like the woman of his life trust me girl i married a man who was the center of all attention and talked me like chad talk to you . we’er divorced i never felt special to him he flirted in front of me yeah i felt it was no big deal but it was. please slow down with jen it’s like you want her to be your yes girl let her stand on her own two feet. you say she’s not happy for you but you’re not happy for her new life either. i care about friendships and i was’nt going to watch the show if you did’nt come back but your attitude hurt my feelings
