Royce Reed isn’t the only one to take a break from social networking. Tami Roman has been conspicuously absent from Twitter this week, and today she posted a message to her Facebook page explaining that she and her daughters quit the site for the time being as a result of floods of negativity after this week’s Basketball Wives.
I deactivated my twitter for the time being because I have been blessed with a wonderful opportunity to work with phenomenal actors on a new television show. I didn’t want to wake up to the continual negativity from a mistake made over four months ago, which I have openly acknowledged and apologized for to overshadow the blessing of this moment. I plan to reactivate my twitter when a formal announcement has been made about this new opportunity with the hopes of putting BasketBall Wives behind me.
So, like Royce, who has reactivated her Twitter page but has been more scarce on the site this week than usual, it sounds like it’s not the end of Tami on Twitter, but the fan comments have become too much for her to deal with for the moment.

In the aftermath of the Tami/Kesha fight, the only drama that remains is that which needs to be worked out between Jennifer and Evelyn. Oh, right, and the stuff between Kenya and Evelyn. So we’re not in the clear yet after all! Watch the sneak peek from Monday night’s Basketball Wives and remind yourself how happy you are that you weren’t a part of the world’s most dramatic girls’ trip ever.
Basketball Wives airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

At the end of tonight’s Basketball Wives episode, Tami Roman appeared to do some soul searching after her argument with Kesha Nichols escalated and got to a point of no return. Despite her time in anger management this season, her emotions got the best of her and took it out on Kesha. Now that the episode has aired and the conversation about the fight has reached a fever pitch, Tami has written an apology to Kesha on her Facebook page. She says:
I don’t apologize for it 2b accepted — that is ultimately the other person’s right to accept or deny it. My only responsibility is to acknowledge a mistake was made and own up to it. I apologize to my family, my REAL friends, my business colleagues, and my Project Girl ladies 4my recent behavior on BBW. I am NOT a bully as depicted on the show, but I did make poor decisions in handling my differences with my cast mate. I sincerely apologize to all of us, as well as to my castmate who was on the receiving end of my wrath.
Kesha has also responded to the recent episodes with a blog post of her own. In it she writes “As a person who prides myself on turning lemons in lemonade, I had no idea how to turn the negative display of human behavior seen in Episode 12 into something positive, until now. Instead of knit picking, pointing fingers and calling names, I decided to educate myself on the issue at hand. I would like to share some of this information with you now, because when we know better, we do better,” and from there, she simply addresses the topic of bullying. You can read the whole post here.
Whew. From the moment this episode of Basketball Wives began to the moment it ended, it felt like we held our breath and our muscles tensed. We were frozen. For a solid hour we were riveted by the Tami Vs. Kesha showdown that began when Kesha, not interested in fighting with Tami, walked away from her. Over the course of the show, Tami held Kesha’s purse and phone hostage,
offering to release them only if and when Kesha apologized for saying that she “could’ve come at Tami and said whatever I wanted to but there’s nothing I could’ve said that would have made her look worse than she was making herself look.” Knowing how Tami feels about being spoken about and not spoken to, this was maybe not the right thing for Kesha to say, and it was also a bad thing for Tami to find out.

Last night’s episode of Basketball Wives was pretty intense once Tami laid in to Kesha about talking about her behind her back. But even though the fight gets pretty heated, Kesha has piped up to say that the women are over it now.
She tells Sister 2 Sister Magazine that after Tami suffered a heart attack back in March, their own personal drama became less important. “After Tami’s health scare,” Kesha says, “whatever drama was going on between us was out the window…I sent her an email telling her I hoped for a speedy recovery and was praying for her, and that’s the last I heard of it.” It’s not the last we’ll hear of it, since part two of their fight will play out next week, but it’s nice to hear some good Basketball Wives-related news once in a while!
Here’s an idea. The women of Basketball Wives are all serious entrepreneurs, and they also can’t seem to get their co-stars’ names out of their mouths, so why don’t they all go in on Basketball Wives brand lozenges? That’s a freebie, ladies.

Each week on this season of Basketball Wives, we’ve been doing our best to keep up with the recaps and blog posts the cast of the show has been writing to give their side of what’s really going down. This week, Jennifer addresses the continued “BS” and “foolery” (her words) with the fighting, and Evelyn focuses on the positive aspects of the episode like her photo shoot and birthday party, only devoting one sentence to Jen. We also grabbed a soundbite from Tami‘s blog which is pretty great this week as well. Here we go:
And the BS continues…I honestly could not stomach to watch last week’s episode. I had lived through the craziness and to relive it was just too much for me. But I would like to clarify a few things. First up, I never had an issue with “the assistant” up until that day. At one point, we were good friends. We went out together, went to dinner, stayed at each other’s houses and shared plenty of good times and laughs. There had been some incidents leading up to why I started pulling away from the friendship but I don’t feel the need to blast that information. However, the most important reason why I eased up on the friendship is because she started working for someone who refers to themselves as my “enemy.” To me being good friends would just cause the situation to be messy so I rather fall back. No love lost and I like I said, I didn’t have any issue with her until she put her hands on me.
