OG Fired! - Basketball Wives Season 8 Reunion

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.

Chad is pictured leaving Jail on Sunday

UPDATE::: The saga continues, it is reported that Evelyn Lozada has filed for divorce. Did you see this coming? What ever happened to counseling before ending an ordained marriage? 

Only about a month after she and Chad Johnson were married on the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean. Lozada reportedly filed the documents in Florida today, calling her marriage to Chad "Irretrievably Broken."

It is alleged that a woman by the name of Beverly Shiner, 30 years of age, from Boston, revealed that she dated Chad from January - May this year, during that time Evelyn was certainly planning her dream wedding.

Shiner made her first contact by following him on Twitter, she said that Chad sent a personal message to her with his number inviting her out for dinner.

"I Googled him before we met and saw he was engaged, but at the time there were reports that she had broken it off because she thought he was cheating, so I assumed they had split up."

She also claimed "While I was there he called Evelyn and asked if she could order a pizza to be delivered for him, and even had her pay for it on her credit card." 
"I thought it was odd and wondered if she was really his fiancee or just a secretary."

Interesting, I am guessing Chad Johnson will be issuing a statement soon. Stay tuned.  My! my!

_____________________________________________________


This is indeed a low time in Evelyn Lozada-Johnson's life, just days after dealing with the domestic dispute between her and her new husband Chad, Evelyn's brother-in-law has passed away after a long battle with cancer. 

You may remember on a episode of Basketball Wives, Ev became very emotional when speaking about Anthony Ochoa, who was married to Lozada's sister Sylvia. He managed to walk Evelyn up the isle on her wedding day which was her greatest wish. 

Now, Evelyn has released a statement regarding the domestic violence situation, saying she’s “deeply disappointed” in Chad. 



EVELYN'S STATEMENT: 

“It is with great sadness and much trepidation that I release this statement addressing the domestic violence incident that happened this past Saturday. I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me, it is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles. Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well. I’m grateful to my family, friends and fans for the outpouring of support during this difficult time.”

Many people feel that Evelyn should be the last to speak of violence, due to her persona on reality tv show "Basketball Wives" where some referred to her as a bully. I do wonder if the newlyweds can and will overcome this unfortunate event.

UPDATE::: Evelyn Lozada - Police Report

Evelyn Lozada Hid At The Neighbors To Escape Chad Johnson

UPDATE: Mean Mug:: Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson Mugshot

This must feel like a nightmare for both of them.

Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson was being held Saturday night in Broward County Jail where he will remain until he can appear before a judge, which may not be until Monday. He is charged with simple battery, domestic violence, which is a misdemeanor.

According to reports team officials were "aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering of relevant information," Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene said.

Johnson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined to comment.

Johnson signed with the Dolphins in June, four days after he was released by New England.

On Friday night in the Dolphins' 20-7 loss to Tampa Bay in the exhibition opener, Johnson let the only pass thrown to him slip through his hands.

Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson - Arrested for Domestic Violence

😮😮😮 Chad arrested for Domestic Violence Over Receipt From Box of Condoms, according to Police...

Wow! NFL player Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence tonight, according to the Davie (Fla.) Police Department. 

Following a complaint made by his new wife Evelyn Lozada, a star of the reality show "Basketball Wives".  It is said Chad head-butted Ev during a dispute over a receipt for condoms being found in his car.

A neighbor called police after hearing a heated argument between the Johnsons.

Mrs. Johnson received lacerations to the forehead and was taken to the hospital, Chad claims he accidentally bumped heads with Evelyn. Chad was taken into custody and awaiting a court appearance. 

If you remember they were married just early last month and already it seems there is trouble in the camp. Johnson and Lozada were prominent in the recent first episode of HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins, where Johnson said Evelyn had withheld sex from him last season.

VH1's Basketball Wives is filmed in Miami and also features Shaunie O'Neal, the former wife of former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. Lozada used to be the fiancee of NBA player Antoine Walker.

Did we not see this coming? Marques Houston said it best... "Marriage don't change, nothing but your name unless it's real love"
