Shaunie O'Neal Talks Basketball Wives With Wendy Williams

Basketball Wives creator and executive producer Shaunie O’Neal has lost control over Basketall Wives LA and has no interest in regaining any. Shaunie stopped by The Wendy Williams Show where she discussed what to expect for season 4 of Basketball Wives Miami and meeting the cast of BBW LA. Meeka was once again confirmed as fired and on the topic of Evevlyn’s return Shaunie stated Ev hasn’t said she’s quitting directly to her face – whatever that means.

Shaunie added that the ladies will film in several locations spending the first three weeks in New York. Not surprisingly some filming time will take place in Los Angeles. Tami has moved to LA, Shaunie lives in LA and Evelyn’s daughter is attending college in LA – what is surprising is Shaunie’s sharp response by explicitly stating they will not pay a visit to any of the Basketball Wives LA cast! We know Shaunie has called the cast trashy but what’s the beef? Gloria took over her role and was given the freedom to chose the cast for Los Angeles – some of which is still highly questionable. But if there is beef shouldn’t Shaunie take it up with VH1?? Check out the clips below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
