Stephon and Tasha Marbury Might Lose Their Home

Couple Might Lose Home To Forclosure

Reality News: What is up with these reality stars losing their homes to forclosure? It looks like the only real Basketball Wife this season, Tasha Marbury, might be joining that list thanks to her husband.  TMZ reports her hudband has not paid the mortgage for their NY condo for over three years.

"U.S. Bank International filed legal docs against Marbury, claiming he hasn’t made mortgage payments on his 2-bedroom 2-bathroom NYC condo since March 2010, and currently owes $844,035 on the property … which he purchased in 2006 for more than a million dollars.

U.S. Bank wants Marbury to pay the full amount NOW, or get the hell out … so the condo can be sold at auction."

Maybe her being on the show will help with the bills.

Former 'Basketball Wives' Cast Member Meeka Claxton Has Grave's Disease

Meeka Talks About Illness

Reality News: Former 'Basketball Wives cast member, Meeka Claxton,  has revealed she had Grave's disease while she was on the show.  She wrote a blog entry titled "Letting Go" talking about ending her feud with Tami Ramon when they both reunited during fashion week recently. She reveals that she was battling grave's disease which is the same disease rapper Missy Elliot has.

 "I’m a private person and there was so much more going on with me than I let on. Aside from Speedy, not too many people knew exactly what all I was dealing with.  A little over a month before filming started in Miami, I noticed my right eye was bulging out of my head. Nervous that it was the result of a tumor, I went to the doctor and he ran tests. The CT Scan came back negative, I thought I’d be relieved but I wasn’t.  I was 31 and I knew my body, something was definitely wrong. I saw a few specialists including an Opthalmologist and they couldn’t find anything. It wasn’t until I went to NYC’s top Endocrinology Specialist that I was diagnosed. 2 weeks before filming, I was officially diagnosed with Graves Disease.

I went through 2 months of radioactive treatment and had to have my thyroid removed. My hair fell out and I lost a lot of weight. I needed something to take my mind off of what I was going through with my illness/treatment and I thought being on the show, new experiences, and working to expand my Atlanta based real estate company to Miami was the answer.  Needless to say, I was dead wrong.  Evelyn made fun of my bulging eyes every chance she got, Tami picked a fight every time we were together and Shaunie cackled at every bit of it all the way to the bank.  They made my experience miserable but I never showed it. I never wanted to give them the satisfaction of knowing that they were essentially “breaking my spirit”. I dreaded filming each day and wondered what happened to all the “showcasing of the lifestyle of basketball wives” like I was told by the producers was supposed to the premise for season 3".

The situation with Tasha, the young lady that is new on the show, this woman knows everything there is to know about me. We’re five seasons in, I knew nothing about this person.

Tami Addresses Her Advice

Reality News: Tami Roman is addressing her domestic abuse advice she gave to Evelyn during the season 5 premiere of Basketball Wives this week for the first time to Gossip Game's Sharon Carpenter. Many viewers were not feeling her advice she gave to Evelyn, especially Suzie  basically saying to stay with him and give him another chance.

She tells Sharon that she does not condone a man hitting  a woman and reveals she has been abused hers herself.

“I don’t condone a man putting his hands on a woman… I’ve been an abused individual as well. Definitely though, if there is some validity to the love: children are involved; families are involved. There are a lot of facets within a relationship and within a marriage and if those things are worth saving, take the time apart. Do what needs to be done and come back together and try to make it work,” said Tami who is all for second chances, but won’t go farther than that.

“Now, when you get back together and if he busts you upside your head with a frying pan, then now you need to go ’cause that would be a third chance and he’s not warranted that.”
