I initially tuned into the show with the assumption of being impressed with the class and character of ladies who’ve become well off. To say I was not impressed is an understatement. I think watching this show and having the expectations that I did gave me a wealth of insight on how we envision others.
Now the First Lady of our country wears her title appropriately! If we want to look up to someone who represents and is the epitome of how a black woman should carry herself or just a living testament of what any black woman can be, it is none other than Michelle Obama.
Ladies, choose women with substance and authentic class to look up to and pattern yourselves after. These Basketball Wives were a disgrace and total disappointment!
As the Bible say’s….”choose Life!” Ladies if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything!

I am appauled at how ugly of a woman Jennifer and Evelyn are on the inside. Physical beauty fades,but these two women act like the most evil mean spirited people ever to live. They’ve got no moral standards or conscience, and if they were related to me, I”d be embarrassed. Money doesn’t buy class or grace , and you two, have not a bit of these qualities. I would rather be poor and plain than mean and nasty w/ foul mouths like the two of you, both of you deserve men who cheat or use you
I am not hater or anything and I can deffffinitly see things from both sides…. I’m just really tired of Jennifer not making her on decisions she acts like she needs approval from Evelyn! Not even realizing that Evelyn is a bitter sweet kind of person. Come now whats the deal Tightin up
these ladies fright all the time that’s not an good example to young ladies today come on ladies grow up you can do better than that especially those of u that have kids at least set an example for your kids
the basketball wives r no role model for noone evelyn an shauntie is a shit starter jen dont need to be there an now i dont like at it because its jus sad.
we have to realize the show is like it is for the ratings. Jen has a sweet spirt, she i s just influnced by evelyn. yes evelyn has some problems making the right choises,last night jen called it like she saw it. i agree why would eve get involved with chad. he cant even mk up his mind what he wants to be called. he is showing eve what kind of a husband he is going to . pointing hismfinger in her face and telling her what she was going to have to give up once she be becomes his wife and the mother of his children. that was a red flag to me. Her daughter is going off to college , she is a buisness women calling her own shots. Now she is going to be with a controlling man that has already told her what it was going to be like.Jen as a friend told her how she felt before she did the interview, women will flip on each other . I dont fool with a lot of women in my life.Jen if you read this,people are not what they seem to be, dont be so quick to call someone your girl.I believe you were comming from a pure place,right church wrong pew. next time no comment will do just nicely.Eve will find out on her own about chad. I hope before she walks down the isle.We have to experance life on our own no matter how much u want to spare your friend any heart ache,sometimes they cant see what others see because love is blind, they are going to do what they want to do in the end. A real friend would have said something to u before u went on the trip, and just between u and her privately, not bring everyone else into it. keep your head up jen you have a whole lot of living and learning to do. you will be o.k.
I am sorry to see such horrible examples of African American women clown the way Tammy and Evelyn have done.and think it’s necessary to do.They have forgotten that they have children and this will follow them forever.
i cant belive you ladies act like that , and shaunie my mom say show me your company and ill tell you who you are, people mouth was made to say anything its how you make it affects you , meka dint it that girl she throw the first blow remember, youre all on camera this is a classless show its very disturbing , clothes dosent make the man , some of you are good ladies, but guess what, it dosent show .
after lastnite im no longer a fan of this show ANYMORE tammy ur sad and miserable and LOUD U R AMOTHER AND THIS IS WAT U CHOOSE TO PUT THERE FOR THEM TO CU NEED TO GET A CLUE AND KEEP U HANDS TO URSELF..these women keep drama going and da white chic needa a slap to just like she told this its coming bac in full circle again.meaka these women r not people i would to be around, cut the the ties ur life will have peace in it misery loves company……….
First of all none of them are wives .We love drama and I get that but Meeka is the only one that has any class.I’m so glad that she womaned up to that over the hillbully Tammy no wonder her ex dumped her he couldn’t even take her to the projects without her trying to start something. All of them are afraid of Tammy. They kiss her butt and on her wagon just so she won’t start nothing with them . Tammy you met your match with Meeka. Shawnie you are making your money but at the expense of blackwomen. You guys are showing that MONEY doesn’t equal class
I am disappointed in what I witnessed last night, I think Tammy is a disgrace to all women who take a little sip of alcohol .Tammy is ghetto and should not be on the show. I thought we would see a classy show about sisterhood but what we are seeing is a bunch of horny single women with nothing to do but cause problems in each other lives. I also think that if Susie was someone i knew I would have checked her gossiping self long time ago that is why she does not keep people in her life for long. Shuanie I’m disappointed in you , you have lost another veiwer.
Tami needs to grow up and act like a lady and a mother, no wonder her daughters didn’t want her as their manager. Tammy are you sure your not from Detroit?? We have a lot of hoodrats that act just like you with the weave and all and when they get into a fight their weave comes off too. Lol Suzy however u spell her name is an undercover shit starter she needs to get her ass beat. She tries to play this miss innocent role but she knows what she’s doing. If I was Shuanie I wouldn’t take these chics anywhere. Meeka you should have peeped the scene first before you started talking to everyone. True friends are hard to find and you can’t trust anyone. You should have slapped Suzy and I apoligize to you as a woman for the way Tami acts that was real sad when she caught u off guard.
Class is bred, these women are a disgrace, and most of them are uneducated and were poorly raised. It is unfortunate that is what Shaunie O’Neal choose to associate he reputation with, the last episode with that Gigantic girl Tami I cannot stand her she look like a big unhappy, lonely, Alcoholic she is a bully she can’t even fight she punch the girl first and now she’s scarred lying saying she was afraid, if that were the case you were harassing the girl, I will never watch that show again It is pure SHAME.
These women are extremely shallow and insecure!!! I wonder if they think that a large bank accounts, expensive material things, good looks, giving themselves to men who disrespect them by sleeping with multiple partners, and a fantastic body automatically makes them classy and sophisticated? What are they actually doing with their lives besides talking about “he said … she said” conversations? Have they obtained an education past high school? Couldn’t they put some of that “ghetto” raging energy towards some worthy social cause? Or, take some courses in social graces in order to learn how a classy woman presents herself?
I don’t have a large bank account … not in the spotlight … not married to a “baller” … don’t have a lot of expensive things … but what I do have is inner peace; which is something these ladies are lacking. Otherwise, they would not represent themselves in such a demeaning manner. There are somethings money should NOT be able to buy.
these women has no class they would not know class if it bit them in the a-s these women are a disgrace to all women ,Tami a shit starter, Jen just has no mind of her own,Evelyn is so into herself,Suzy also a shit statrter Tami need to put her in her place cause Suzi is undercover with hers.I guess Shaunie feel asll this drama keep up the rating…SAD
I would like to say that Basketball Wive is a disgrace to the majority of the basketball wives and girlfriends. I also very disappointed in Shaunie Oneal. I see why she is not with her husband, she is very messy. I have tried to watch this season, but there is to much fighting. Tammy should be put off, she keeps to much going on. Please cancel this show.
These poor women mak de m selves luuk lik dum fools on tha show only 2ladys stood out
