Basketball Wives Renewed for Season 5, Promises More ‘Balance’

Mon, 14 May 2012 | Published in ...And These Bitches Will Deal!, Basketball Wives, Featured

The revolution WILL be televised!

Star Jones, Wendy Williams, and all the other Basketball Wives haters probably scheduled a colonic after hearing Vh1 has renewed the drink throwing, table jumping for another season. I know what you're thinking, 'getting a colonic has nothing to do with this situation!' But doesn't everybody who hates on Basketball Wives look like they need one?

From Shed:
“Shed Media US is fully committed to telling the compelling stories of the Basketball Wives in a balanced way. Our producing partner Shaunie O’Neal feels strongly about this, and we fully agree with this stance. We support her as she encourages the cast members to work out issues in a non-violent fashion. We look forward to working with her and the rest of the cast on conveying more balance in the next season.”
From Vh1:
“Our viewers opinions always matter a great deal to us at VH1. Lately, there has been a lot of conversation about Basketball Wives, a series featuring strong, intelligent women with very passionate viewpoints which can sometimes escalate. We at VH1 agree with and support Shaunie and the show producers’ “no excessive physical confrontations” policy on the series moving forward. We are all committed to balancing the candid, bold excitement that the viewers have come to love in the series with storylines and representations they can be proud of. Shaunie has been a strong advocate for a more balanced approach to the show and we, along with our producing partners at Shed Media, are all in agreement about moving forward with that goal.”
Really? Now all of a sudden they want a more balanced show? I guess all these chicks will now have to find jobs and do more than meet at restaurants. If they're serious I'm definitely down for it. Kudos to Shaunie for finally making it happen. I'm sure she remains humble through all of this.
Your Thoughts?

    I won’t even waste my time with Shaunie and her too live crew. Tami and Evelyn are bullies and should have been and still need to be checked. They’ve lost a fan. I can’t see myself revisiting this ratchet a** show.

    Am I the only one that feels as if Shaunie’s finally doing all of this when her finances starting to get in trouble? Let’s be honest, this decision didn’t come from a place of peace. She did it so she can keep her money coming in; if people stop watching the show, she doesn’t get paid. Plain and simple.

      Shaunie has stated SEVERAL times that she has a voice in the big meetings but she doesn’t get the final say in production.

      After the public boycott and advertisers pushed for less mess, Shed Media and Vh1 made the decision to calm down THEN released the above statements like they’ve ALWAYS had Shaunie’s back with wanting less drama.

      …which we ALL know is a lie!
