  wack as hell

• Michael Scorn Posted: Apr.15 at 9:44 am
  The sense of entitlement by these basketball wives amazes me.

• Boing Dynasty Posted: Apr.15 at 10:02 am
  who are the mouth-breathers keeping all these reality shows centered entirely on trashy jump offs of ballers/entertainers on the air? Whats worse, a groupie with loose morals(not Shaunie, specically), or all the ugly b!tches who cant wait to hear what she has to say?

• NDP Posted: Apr.15 at 10:08 am
  I love the fact that the women parade around as philanthropists or people with actual talent or careers. They met these guys in clubs, or in Shaunie’s case, as a waitress….and can thank them for everything they’ve ever experienced.

  The saddest part of this story is that Shaq used Agent Zero’s stationary to write the letter.

• Jay Posted: Apr.15 at 10:21 am
  Slam, I love your website, but I have been beginning to notice that you guys are super late on a lot of stories. I didn’t notice it before because I was dedicated to Slam and didn’t read anything else. Latley, ill ask my co worker if heard about any particular story adn he’ll say yeah, two days ago on Dime or TMZ…C’mon Slam, SMH

• Boing Dynasty Posted: Apr.15 at 10:28 am
  hahahahahahahahahaha @ “dime or TMZ”

• KulchaKris Posted: Apr.15 at 11:00 am
  Someone correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t Vashaundya (or however her real name is spelt) cheat on her man/first husband with Shaq? I hate to generalize, but I’m pretty certain all the women on this show are no-talent, publicity whores. I guess this is how you become famous in contemporary America (Hello Kim/Kourtney/Khloe Kardashian!).

• Yesse Posted: Apr.15 at 11:23 am
  This show probably sucks. Didnt Shaq give Shaunie money enough and she had to make her own show?

• larrylegend Posted: Apr.15 at 11:26 am
  Statler: This show is awful!
  Waldorf: Terrible!
  Statler: Disgusting!
  Waldorf: See you next week?
  Statler: Of course.

• Allenp Posted: Apr.15 at 11:43 am
  It’s funny how people are so upset at the women.
  Neither the women nor the players are shining role models.

• Anton Posted: Apr.15 at 12:23 pm
  B!tch, make me a sandwhich

• Cheryl Posted: Apr.15 at 12:25 pm
  True that, Allenp. And the worse offender in my eyes is reality TV itself. American lives must be so empty to find their entertainment in such crap.

• riggs Posted: Apr.15 at 12:38 pm
  it sure is cheryl *watches jerry springer*

• Coney Islander Posted: Apr.15 at 2:05 pm
  Birds!

• rob Posted: Apr.15 at 2:17 pm
  She can use “Snaq O’ Meal” instead.

• Jukai Posted: Apr.15 at 2:57 pm
  Let’s throw out all “who hurt who” here… who knows what the players did to their ex-wives… who knows if they did nothing and these girls are just parading around on TV for no reason…
  what’s real here, is that if she DID sign a confidentiality agreement, even remotely, she is in a position to lose a LOTTA money she took outta that divorce settlement. For real.

• Allenp Posted: Apr.15 at 3:27 pm

  I think it’s bogus. Shaunie was in Essence talking about their marriage, we didn’t hear about her getting served.
  If the agreement was that ironclad, Shaq could have acted when she was doing all the promos and other stuff.
  Either it’s ironclad and he was being petty, or it’s bogus and he’s being petty. Either way, he appears to be petty.
  I just have a problem with a show called “Basketball Wives” where only maybe one chick is married. That doesn’t compute.

• Jukai Posted: Apr.15 at 3:58 pm
  Allenp: I have a problem with the entire ordeal. I’m not one of those people who thinks these women are all gold diggin’ sk*nks who just drain the blood of celebrities to get their lifestyle… I think there’s a lot that goes on both ways.
  but the promos I’ve seen are pretty much victimizing the women, “oh it’s so hard being a basketball wife with all the cheating and distance!”
  What about all the basketball wives who are happy? Do they get on the show?
  Could you imagine if Shaq made a show, “all these blood suckin’ h0es be tryin’ to take mah money” or something to that effect? He’d get KILLED by portraying himself as the victim. Must be the money.
  Also, I do think it’s ironclad and Shaq is being petty. I mean… I know I just defended Shaq with everything else I said, but the dude sort of seems like a d-wad!

• Jukai Posted: Apr.15 at 4:00 pm
  You know, lemme take that back… it’s probably NOT ironclad, but there probably was some writing somewhere which talked about what she could and could not say… he saw the promo, went to his lawyer, and the lawyer said “you know, this’ll work, we can twist this”
  All hypotheticals, but a lot of law nowadays seems to be a lot of gray, and not “ironclad or bogus” as you put it.

• ClutchPerformer Posted: Apr.15 at 4:34 pm
  Shaq needs to talk to D12 and how he shut up his Ex, cuz his baby momma is on the show and she cant reference him at all. I dont like the idea of these women dragging their business through the mud even after they mad major money of their players, and ya’ll know they got no talent,

• Allenp Posted: Apr.15 at 5:03 pm
  Clutch
  All these chicks have talents. Some are talents we might respect, others are talents we might not.
  Dwight Howard did shut his baby momma down, and she seems to be a walking cliche.
  Shaq is too guilty to get all sanctimonious.

• Diesel Posted: Apr.15 at 5:13 pm
  @Cheryl – I think what’s bothering folks, or me at least, is that as shady as the players are, they earned their own money by having a talent. These women are glorified groupies whose accomplishments in life are 100% defined by who they slept with. Nothing they have was earned on their own. I have no interest in watching a show about two ladies, who probably would have been working at the DMV had they not slept with a NBA star, meeting up for brunch to talk about shoes…

• Diesel Posted: Apr.15 at 5:15 pm
  @Allen – they most likely don’t have talents that would have landed them the same fame and riches that they currently have.

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Apr.15 at 7:10 pm
  And… cue the misogynistic bullsh!t. Hey, if that makes you feel macho, go for it. SMH.

• Shem Posted: Apr.15 at 9:51 pm
  Guess the show is gone, your not a basketball wife anymore..

• Dave Posted: Apr.15 at 10:29 pm
  @larrylegend: Yup, just about sums it up.

• Diesel Posted: Apr.16 at 12:01 am
  Teddy – I’m not seeing what’s misgonistic about my comments. I think its a fact that these women wouldn’t be millionaires had they not married these guys. Look up their names and see what their jobs were before they met their NBA husbands. No woman hating going on…just stating facts. You keep fighting the good fight though.

• Cheryl Posted: Apr.16 at 9:13 am
  C’mon guys, it’s not like the players are rocket scientists either. i mean, they have perfected shooting a pebbled ball in to a basket and are paid more money than they should to do it. But we buy the tickets, the shoes, and the other gear, so I ain’t hating on them. I’m just saying y’all acting like the guys are really contributing something useful to society and that’s why they’re making their millions and the ladies they decide to marry/have babies with/etc. and useless human beings. Seems a little misogynistic to me.

• Cheryl Posted: Apr.16 at 9:14 am
  And again I say, don’t watch the show. Poor ratings will surely put an end to the ridiculousness.

• Diesel Posted: Apr.16 at 11:02 am
  Cheryl, I agree they’re overpaid for it, but regardless…they’re earning their own money. They spent the time to perfect their game and now their getting paid for it. Now these few women (not the norm by any means) think they’re entitled to whatever they want for the rest of their lives because they slept with the dude for a few months? Call it what you want. If hating people like that, that just leech on to other people’s success, is misogynistic then I guess I’m the poster boy for woman-hating.

  You can’t make a ho a housewife.

• chintao Posted: Apr.21 at 6:18 am
  As horrible as it is, they call it “REALITY” TV for a reason. This is who we are. I hope we can change, but I doubt we ever will.
