“Basketball Wives” Season 4 is almost here and castmember Tami Roman sat down with Egypt to dish on what drama we can expect.
On why she decided to joined the second season of ‘Basketball Wives’
With “Basketball Wives,” they approached me when they did their first season. They contacted [my manager] and I just wasn’t really ready to go on a show, talk about Kenny. I really didn’t want to go back to the reality genre. So, between the year that they had their first season and the second season, my family fell on a hardship. You know my daughters and I had been on food stamps and we had been on medical assistance through the state of New Jersey. And so I was looking for something income wise. I was working a 9-5 job in corporate America. And when I watched the first season of ‘Basketball Wives’ I felt like my story wasn’t on there. I’m sitting here like in the dark. My lights are out. You know that’s not my moment. I’m not champagne brunching and mani’s and pedi’s everyday and I felt that I had a valuable story to tell…to show my particular situation and what me and my daughter’s were going through, so I contacted VH1.
On whether a fight really broke out between Jennifer and Evelyn at Shaunie O’Neal’s birthday party
I can’t really give too much away but I can tell you this. This season is filled with a lot of twists and turns. Alliances that were there or that people have followed through the “Basketball Wives” journey that they thought were solid, some of those fall by the wayside, some of those alliances are re-established. You know everything is kinda all over the place and I have to tell you honestly we end the season and I feel that we’re all gonna at least be cool. That everybody can be amicable for the most part. This is the one time and we’re still taping that I really don’t know how this is gonna end. I don’t know whose gonna be friends, whose gonna hate each other, because it’s really all over the place.
Tami Roman recently confirmed that two new cast members will be joining VH1′s “Basketball Wives: Miami.” Allow us to introduce the ladies, Kenya Bell and Kesha Nicole Nichols.
Kenya is a former Miss Michigan USA winner and has two children, Casey and Charlie. We’re sure Kenya will be bringing plenty of drama as we found out that she tried to cut her husband, Charlie Bell (of the Golden State Warriors), with a box cutter. (Watch out Tami!!)
The second cast member is Kesha Nichols, who is a former Nets dancer, who has never technically been a basketball wife, although she was engaged to ex-Net Richard Jefferson who broke up with her via email days before their wedding.
