Tanya Slams 'Basketball Wives'
Tanya Young, who appeared on 'Basketball Wives: L.A" for only two episoded explains that her experience on the show was "sheer hell". She also wrote a blog on the The Daily Beast exposing some of the show's secrets.
“I sat motionless as the women fought over my head and producers worked to break up the melee. However, the cameramen never lost sight of their target: the fight. They captured every moment, from every angle. The footage was the guarantee the producers needed to bait their audience during teasers for the premiere of Basketball Wives LA. As the women pulled out pieces of weave, called each other names, tore each other’s clothing, and struck each other in the face, the producers struck ratings gold—and they knew it.”
She also says that the reason why she only appeared for two episodes was because of her inability to fight with the other women.
“I was also a threat,” Tanya says, “because I told the women that ‘no television show is worth fighting on and disgracing yourself for.’ Despite the fact that legions of fans and supporters wrote to VH1 and on blogs of their desire to see a balanced show, which they felt that I represented, Shed Media decided that a ‘sophisticated’ woman like me didn’t fit into the new and evolving storylines.”
