Social media has been blazing 🔥 for weeks and today not much has changed.
The hot topic "Basketball Wives LA" is still drawing huge backlash from the public; who expressed disappointment, shock and outrage how retired women’s football player Ogom "OG" Chijindu was deemed as "aggressive" called "ugly" and her overall treatment this Season (8). Many viewers felt that OG was being held to a different standard considering Evelyn Lozada and so many past and present casts have been violent in past seasons.
Polls, social media comments, and many went as far as signing petitions to boycott the show and Evelyn Lozada. Blaming much of the behavior displayed this season on Shaunie O'neal, Executive Producer and Cast Member of the show. Hearing that 'OG' was fired from the show awoke a new level of disdain for Shaunie and Evelyn.
Both reality tv co-stars, and besties Shaunie and Evelyn have been accused of displaying "colorism" and "racism" against OG and past "dark-skinned" cast members. They claimed it is obvious they favored "lighter skinned" cast members.
Other casts who have sided with the two women; Kristin Scott, Malaysia Pargo and Feby Torres were all accused of being bullies, and called "Mean Girls".
During the Reunion OG sat in a room via television as she addressed "The Collective" as she calls her fellow cast members.
Shaunie responded in an interview which aired directly after Basketball Wives Reunion Part 2 on Wednesday saying:

She gets what OG is saying and she didn't intentionally single her out. She hates that OG felt that way, she "feels horrible", that, that was her experience.Despite the uproar Shaunie O’Neal has revealed that it has been renewed for another season.
