Kimsha Artest Fired From Basketball Wives LA; Artest Denies FB Post

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Basketball Wives LA is one wife short after Kimsha Artest fired off on Shaunie O’Neal on Facebook. Ironically both Kimsha and Tanya Williams are missing from the cast picture and rumors surfaced that neither would be an integral part of the show. After the premiere episode, it was clear that Kimsha was a firecracker and reminded many of Miami fan favorite Tami Roman.

Fans quickly took notice by the third episode that Kimsha was missing. After a slew of posts from fans Kimsha took some time to reply…and it wasn’t pretty.

I’m getting asked a lot of questions. I ain’t got time for the bullsh*t. It is what the f*ck it is. Ya’ll need to take it to Ms Shaunie. I will keep my mouth zipped right now.

So now Shaunie has the power again? Shaunie herself stated she had nothing to do with choosing the cast for the Los Angeles wives, I find it hard to believe that she’s doing much to eliminate only certain members off the show – least of all Kimsha and Tanya. Apparently Kimsha didn’t get official notice she was fired when she later posted,

“i see they cut me off the show and left buckle a— b*tches. Shaunie oneal can kiss my a**, she kisses a** to that Evelyn b*tch and gets the b*tch who f*cked her husband and cut her a check but cant handle a real woman. FOH!”

Wow. People may say Shaunie is a mastermind but the true mastermind rarely gets a finger pointed its way….VH1.

Update: After the dust settled on the alleged FB post, Ron Artest defended Kimsha with his own post on Twitter claiming the FB page was fraud.

“My wife is not [on] Facebook The media is reporting. She loves shaunie oneal and all the cast on basketball show. Don’t believe any negative comments you here about Kimsha Artest. She is happy to be working with viacom and vh1.

Kimsha Artest does not like drama so that’s why yal have not seen her on the show. She doesn’t want to be seen representing females falsely. @kimshaartest is happy on the show and is staying out of drama. Follow her here. She has no drama with shaunie or anyone….

Kimsha Artest on Facebook is fake. I will not post her real fb. But that one is fake!!“

Things just got really interesting. So to clarify, Kimsha is not fired from Basketball Wives LA and she is attempting to salvage whatever relationship she has left with Shaunie – got it….I think.

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.
