John Salley returned to host another reunion with the first ladies of basketball. Unsettled topics included Jen and Eric’s divorce and Meeka hoping to set the record straight on what REALLY went down this season between her and the cast.
VH1.com: Highlights From The Basketball Wives Reunion: Part One :
Part one of the Basketball Wives reunion is over so…What did you think?? We’re surprised it wasn’t more heated (although hearing Evelyn yell for security was pretty hilarious), but no punches were thrown and there were no major attacks to speak of. We did want to highlight a few of the biggest moments though, so just to recap, here’s a list of the biggest issues that were touched on and some of the best images from the show.
1. What’s Gotten Into Royce?
Right off the bat, host John Salley asked the question that had been on everyone’s mind all season, “What was Royce’s deal during the season two reunion?” While Royce speaks to that a bit more extensively in our upcoming interview with her, she “got to the point where [she] was sick of them talking all sorts of sideways” and decided to start standing up for herself. But the real kicker was when she explained “Now that their time is up and my time is now, it’s a problem.” Tell us how you really feel, girl.
2. Jennifer Williams Vs. Eric Williams
After a finale like the one we saw which culminated with Eric Williams throwing a drink in Jennifer’s face, she addressed the issue diplomatically on-air, saying she’s just ready “to leave that life behind.” Tami, always to the point, called what Eric did “a bitch move.” Of course the issue we really want addressed is what Jen said to (or about?) Eric’s mother, which seemed to cause Eric to fly off the handle to begin with. Alas, we won’t be privy to those details any time soon. As I mentioned in my preview post last week, Eric did indeed have a dressing room set aside backstage in case he decided to come to the reunion, but at the last minute, he decided not to.
3. Suzie‘s Foot In Mouth Disease, Part I
It wouldn’t be an episode of Basketball Wives if Suzie didn’t say a little too much. Our favorite example of this during the reunion was when she explained: “Honestly, I care about everyone…even you, Meeka.” Meeka’s like…”Thanks?” It’s not especially dramatic, but that’s our Suzie! Suzie has an even bigger “taking it too far” moment in part two, though, so just you wait.
4. Meeka’s Thirsty and Wearing Bootleg Earrings
“Thirsty means you want attention,” Evelyn said when she pointed out that that’s exactly what she thinks Meeka is. The girls ganged up on Meeka at the end of the show calling her out for possibly hiring her own paparazzi and trying to be a star on the show. And that of course led to the earring conversation. When Meeka started talking about her style, that’s when Evelyn took offense. “You were rocking the same earrings as we wore since season one, you were trying so hard to be a part!” Evelyn said.
“Get your own designs then. Stop. STOP IT! You are not the original of them designs, boo boo! Get off the stage! SECURITY!”
Meeka then claimed all her earrings were custom made by her stylist who she then brought out.
“They’re bootleg, then,” Evelyn said before Meeka actually brought out her stylist to back her up. That didn’t help her case, unfortunately.
5. Tami Hoodrat Roman Vs. Meeka Liar Claxton
“You can ask me 20,000 times if I like you, the answer’s still no!” Tami told Meeka at the beginning of their very special segment. These women, it’s safe to say, will never solve their differences, especially not when they keep having exchanges like this:
Tami: “From the time you came into the situation, all you did was lie! That’s like Meeka Liar Claxton. MLC!”
Meeka: “And you’re THR, Tami Hoodrat Roman
That had me ROLLING!!!
In case you missed it, check it out below! HILARIOUS!

First, I had no idea why Royce was even there??? She’s so HIGH school in her thinking.
Second, Evelyn busting out homegirl on the side was HILARIOUS to me…when she snapped her fingers & order security to take her away….AND she was right Meeka did sport the same type earrings Evelyn wore – I was like dang, where can I get a pair..Jenn’s earrings, to me, were the best!
Tami kep it real as always…love love love her!!!
Shaunie’s dress had me perplexed – like did she just leave Clown College or something..wth??!! LOL

Evelyn busting out on the girl who made Meeka’s earrings was PURE COMEDY. Evelyn is a trip! She won me over with that yesterday.
Meeka’s voice and her whole demeanor urks me! i dont know what it is about her that i just dont like.
A lot of people on FB had great things to say about Shaunie’s dress, but i didn’t like it. i think with her colorful highlights and the dress and purple shoes, it was just to flashy…shaunie was extra quiet last night. LOL – making money off of the buffoonery. I can’t knock the hussle…

First off Royce is tired of all them bitching and hating on her so if you call that “high school thinking”……..you are mistaken.
Tami is ghetto as hell………….her daughters don’t even want her to be apart of what they got going on……………what does that say.
Suzie is stupid as hell, she don’t see that Evelyn really don’t like her.
Jennifer follow whatever Evelyn do………..case in point last night when Evelyn said some to Royce and Jennifer turn around and say the same shit.
Shaunie just like these are some dumb as bitches……. cause they just making her show ratings go up, she not anyone of their friends.
I think Royce is the only one who have shit going for her, and everytime she bust them out they say “Do you hear someone talking.”
Get their fake asses out of here…………….Evelyn and Jennifer.

Yes Miss Xpose I agree with you 100%. Evelyn has grown on me too. Meekss voice irks us cause its fake as she is. She tries to hard. I’m like if your life is half of what you claim why are you trying so hard to fit in, be a leader not a follower. Royce grow up. I like the she standing up for herself yet she say dumb things “you’re not on my level if you cant kick your legs up”. News flash not to many adults can sweetie. Tami is hood. Jennifer NEVER let a gay guy introduce you to man. And Suzie no comment. I am looking forward to part two of the reunion and LA wife’s- let the drama continue!:)

Yes AND I repeat…ROYCE IS SO HIGH SCHOOL IN HER THINKING!! And I second ‘quet33′; she says some really lame shit…and if she’s so real, why not confront them WHILE they were saying it or right after…not one of them hide how they felt about her!!!! NOT ONE!!!! And I would’ve ignored her ‘kicking up legs for a living’ behind too!!
Tami may be ghetto/hoodrat but you better come correct before you step!

Well said BE Real 101…… I actually thought it was childish and grade school on Jen’s part to respond with the “Do you hear someone talking?”………

Evelyn is 100 percent right what she say to that woman…Who are you,you are not on the show,you deserve what you get….Evelyn she speaks her mind…If you don’t like it ,take it or leave it…You have to starts with Evelyn for her to start cussing you out….Evelyn is not a dummy she has her own store trying to do something for her self that’s very smart….
This is for you Meeka you can downgrade Tami this economy is very hard…I know people who had it all and know they have nothing….

I FELT DIRTY AND IGNORANT AFTER WATCHING THIS BUFFOONERY! ALL OF THESE LADIES SHOULD BE ASHAMED HOW THEY ARE PROSTITUTING THEMSELVES FOR MONEY ON TELEVISION BEFORE THE WORLD AND OUR YOUNG PRINCESSES …. AND ALL OF US WATCHING, MARKETING AND SUPPORTING THIS SHOULD EQUALLY BE ASHAMED!
WE ARE THE ADULTS AND HAVE THE NERVE TO TALK ABOUT THE CHILDREN WHEN WE SUPPORT THEIR DESTRUCTION WITH CRAP LIKE THIS!

Meeka you too sweet for the show

Because you speak your mind does not make you right. Just because you speak louder, does not make you correct. Meeka said it best Hood rat. Tammi is classless. Royce was right Evelyn sleeps around. How can you be cool with someone who knowingly and willingly slept with your husband? Ev knew Tami was married to him. Also, Ev said she will sell more than 500 t-shirts in a secret interview. So, take that Tami-in your face. Ev, Jen and Shaunie are so fake. These women are a paycheck because Shaunie hangs with women in L.A. anyway

HAHA! you all pretty much covered it all! lol I will say this, I agree w/ Diva…was NOT feeling that wig on Tami! Also… I was so over Royce’s corny a$$ a whiiiile ago. Do not know why she was at the reunion, if there is a next season I don’t see the point of inviting her back. She irks me. lol
Evelyn is hilarious. Jenn’s responses to some of the questions were corny, but whats new.

I believe EVILyn and JenniFOOL and shady Shaunie are all jealous of Royce and they wanted her to be meek and mild, but Royce is too strong and independent for that.
Kudo’s to Royce for not being intimidated by the ladies.
JenniFOOL was wrong for throwing a drink at Eric, but he showed her. When Eric through that drink so viciously in Jen’s face, I thought I know she wishes she’d let him walk away like he was trying to do. I’m glad he turned around and returned the favor.
Ladies keep your hands to yourselves.
Team Royce
Team Tami
Team Eric

Gdo Bless Royce is hardly dumb… She step to Eve but and gave her the business. When she did a cowardly move and threw a drink at her. She has been upfront and honest about it all. When confronted she has not lied. She is absoulutely right all about JEN, EVE and Shautine they are extremley fake. Tami is just out right GHETTO with Evelyn as a close 2nd. Suzie needs some mouth wash and Meeka needs to tax that a$$ and move on. She truly is a Basketball Wive along with JEN and Shauntie. Everyone else except Royce were Wannabe or should I say a BOTTY CALL. Dont’t hate the game hate the playa~~

Royce may have had a boyfriend each season, she has not slept with them. She just looking for love in all the wrong places. Evelyn is a HOODRAT also. She sleep with anyone. Can’t stand her classless a$$ She will soon be a has been in when Ocho get through with her.

MsGina says:
Aug 19, 2011
Lmao! Football players are the lowest paid in sports first off and the recent lock out didnt help! Evelyn trying to have twins by Ocho is the dumbest move she could have thought of, this nigga already got 4 kids and aint no baby EVER kept no nigga! We could all go back n forth about our favorite BBW but the truth is they are ALL immature, classless to some extent, and two faced! Every last one of them has shown us one of these throughout the seasons……. I watch cause its entertaining but I smh and laugh more than I applaud any of them! I have my favs no doubt but I smh @ them too…….
