Meeka Claxton Calls Out The Supporters Of The 'Basketball Wives' Boycott

Meeka Speaks On The Boycott

Former Basketball Wives star Meeka Claxton, who was on the show last season, blog about the boycott surrounding the show on her site Itsaboutalifestyle101. The blog title is called "Am I Less Of A Human Being?" She is disappointed that there was no public outcry for her when she was being attacked by the other castmates.

Am I mad? No, more like I’m disappointed. When I was attacked everyone thought it was funny.  No one thought her actions were disgraceful. As a matter of fact the very same ladies (for lack of a better word) that are “hurt” by the backlash,  joked about me being attacked. They laughed and even called me names for taking a stand against her.

I thought pressing charges was wack?  Oooooh, I get it…it’s wack when it’s not you!

They all (except Royce) stood behind her, co-signing her actions.  But now you want everyone to believe you want balance?  As much as their hypocrisy bothers me, I expect it because now their actions threaten their money.  So, I knew the crocodile tears weren’t far behind.

What really hurts me are all of the talk show hosts and journalists that are suddenly disturbed by what they are seeing.  Taking stands, boycotting, signing petitions etc…Isn’t this what I contacted all of you about last year? I asked for your support, none of which I received. But now it’s a problem? So, it was ok for me to be physically assaulted?  Where was all of this “Call 

VH1access Update Interview- Justin Derke (Ton Of Cash)

Update Interview

I'm planning to some update interviews this summer. I got to chance to do an interview with fan favorite Justin Derke, who was on Ton Of Cash. He talks about experience on the show and what is he doing now.  Follow him @JustinVH1







1) How are you Justin?
I'm good, just living and loving life! :)




2)Let's talk about 'Ton of Cash'. What made you decide to audition for this show?
I decided to audition for it because of the flyer and it basically asked if I wanted to win money and I was like HELL YEAH!!! 




3)How was your experience on the show? What was your favorite challenge?
My experience was amazing! It was difficult and challenging, but well worth it. My favorite challenge had to be the finale, because I had never been to Vegas before and it was such a rush to be running through the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino looking for the bundles of money.




4)Do you still keep in touch with the other contestants on the show?
I do! I actually moved in with Amie who won the show, and our friendship has completely grown and been an amazing time. After the show aired and everything I had a couple falling outs with a couple others, but the others I keep in contact with via facebook and twitter.




5)Have you audition for other reality shows before 'Ton of Cash'?
I tried to audition for the real world, but I got sooooooo lost looking for the place where they were holding the auditions I gave up haha




6)How you feel about VH1 poorly advertising the show?
It was sad. I didn't understand why they didn't do much for the show. I didn't know what was going on, so it left me confused sad and agry.




7) Did you regret being on the show after seeing the ratings?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Granted the ratings were awful and the show didn't do well, I met Amie who is the love of my life (figuratively), got to experience areas of the world I never would have gone otherwise and even tho we weren't as big as the basketballwives, I still got recognition and had a good time riding on the small time of fame I had lol.




8)I've seen pictures of you in drag. Do you still do drag?
I do! I don't do drag as hardcore as the girls on Rupauls Drag Race, I just like to go out and fun in drag because I feel powerful and I'm beautiful so of course I have to.




9)Let's talk about what you are doing now.  What are you doing now? Do you have any plans in the future? Would do another reality show?
Right now I live in Salt Lake City Utah with Amie trying to get everything in my life together (because I was on the show for being in debt). My plans for hte future are to just live life to the fullest and be happy and just be successful basically. And of course I would DEFINITELY do another reality show! I had so much fun, and all the attention, the cameras, the lights the everything about it was my calling, just wish it would happen again soon!!! I'm waiting on Bad Gays Club....like Bad Girls Club, just more fabulous ;)




10)Thank you for this interview. Do you want to give a shout out to anyone?
I want to give a shoutout to Amie! If I hadn't done the show, I wouldn't have met her and Amie has been the bane of my existence, and shoutout to my friend Megan who helped me get through it all!

Tami Roman Deactivated Her Twitter Account ; Leaving The Show?

Is Tami Roman Leaving 'Basketball Wives?'

Tami Roman recently made a public apology on Twitter for her behavior on the show this past week, but with the recent abuse she has been receiving from fans she deactivated her twitter account and hinted that she might not return for the next season 

via Facebook Page

"I deactivated my twitter for the time being because I have been blessed with a wonderful opportunity to work with phenomenal actors on a new television show. I didn't want to wake up to the continual negativity from a mistake made over four months ago, which I have openly acknowledged and apologized for to overshadow the blessing of this moment. I plan to reactivate my twitter when a formal announcement has been made about this new opportunity with the hopes of putting BasketBall Wives behind me,"

Somaya Reece Talks About Her Weight Loss and 'Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta"

Love and Hip Hop star talks to RealityAired.com about her weight loss journey, music, breast reduction surgery and she also shares her thoughts on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta

Q: What made you finally go through with the surgery? 

A: “I’ve been living with this for years. I just got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t really want to talk about it. That was a big part of my mom telling me that she thought it would be very uplifting for women, that’s what I’m all about. I think that women who get breast implants, who want big boobs, don’t fully understand what people like myself go through. Girls who want to enhance, it’s such a different movement than people who live with them. I have permanent bra scars on my shoulder blades. It gets really tiring. I could never close my blazers. Running was never an option for me. I’m glad I did it. Everything scared me about it, the pain, the scars. I was never worried what men thought about it because I just don’t care (laughs). I would have rather guys just stop looking at me unless they were my gay boys. Actually, when I was filming “Love & Hip Hop” I had talked to the show about it and they were like “What!?””

Q: How was the recovery process?

A: “I thought it was going to hurt more than it did for the first two days, I think it was because of a lot of numbing medicine. I could never do anything by myself. I had a nurse and a relative with me at all times. The one time I got up to go to the bathroom by myself I felt like someone was stabbing me repeatedly in the breasts. I thought I popped my stitches. I was crying for like 3 hours. That was really tough. I literally thought I was going to die. In that moment I regretted doing it. It was really scary. But I’m fine now.”

Q: How has your style changed?

A: “I’ve always wanted to wear so many things and I couldn’t especially dresses and t-shirts. All buttoned down shirts would never button all the way. A simple t-shirt fits very well now.”

Q: How much weight have you lost so far? 

A: “I’m trying to stay away from the scale, I’m trying to check by inches. But that last time I checked I lost 25 pounds.”

Q: Will you be appearing on Season 3 of “Love & Hip Hop”?

A: I’m not prepared to answer that question yet but no one’s coming back man! (laughs)I think we all mesh well whether we had beef or not. Now there’s a majorly differently tone going on now. That’s pretty much going to be very obvious when Season 3 comes around. You know the producers know what they’re doing, so I’m sure they’ll find some other interesting stories that other people might be interested in watching.

Q: What do you think about “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta”?

A: “I’m rooting for my girl Rasheeda. I’m glad she’s getting the shine she deserves. We’ve done a record together and she’s a really good person. I don’t really know how people mix over there in Atlanta. It better be good! (haha)”

Q: On the last season of “Love & Hip Hop” we saw you give a pair of shoes to Olivia. What’s your relationship like with her now?

A: “There is no relationship with her. Her arrogance won’t allow it. Her and her manager keep talking negatively about me.”

Q: What about you and Chrissy?

A: “People didn’t get to see me and Chrissy make peace because they didn’t want to show that. Me and Chrissy are cool. I don’t have beef with her.”

Q: How has your brand evolved since going on the show?

A: “Something that was always disappointing for me was me having to fight to have them show my Latin roots. I was not allowed to show the full potential of my brand. I now have a real management firm. I have a whole team and a label. It has been a really good stepping-stone for me to reach out to the companies I want to work with…There are no shenanigans or funny business from my team now.”

Details On Basketball Wives 4 Reunion Show

The reunion show of the 4th season of Basketball Wives was filmed this past Saturday and Shaunie addresses the negative feedback the show has been getting. 

“As a producer and also a cast member we hear it, we know what’s going on. Me myself, it really is a personal struggle for me because I’m not one to fight. I’m not perfect by any means, I’ll get mad, I’ve seen myself on this show get upset and get out of character. Us as cast members we can kind of use this show as a mirror. There are things that we see about ourselves we like, that we don’t like. It’s a work in progress to change. I feel that all these ladies, I hope I’m speaking for them correctly, I feel all of them take responsibility for what their actions are. Sometimes after it you’re like “wow, I really shouldn’t have gone there, I really shouldn’t have done that” but we take responsibility. After talking and seeing ourselves-this season was bananas. It definitely was a lot more bad than good. Even when we did have the good the bad seem to outweigh it ’cause we did have some good. We had Tami and Evelyn’s mammograms and my daughter’s birthday and things like that, that were positive. Though we had some rough spots but we take responsibility and now, I’m just glad-I’m one person in a room full of many, I’ve tried, the ladies know I’ve tried to just preach “lets get some balance” and now I think my voice is being resignated.”

Emily B Says She Is Not About The Fighting Lifestyle



Emily B, who will not be returning for 3rd season of Love and Hip Hop says she wants to put a postive image on her kids and think women of reality TV should fall back rather than engaged in a fight.

“There are a lot of women who fight on television and I promised myself that I would never do that. My advice to women who are put in bad situations in front of their kids is to shut down! You don’t have to participate in the madness. … One thing I teach my daughter is to have patience. I’m always calm and I speak to my kids in a calm tone. I never raise my voice to my daughter. Once you raise your voice, kids stop listening. If I ever need to raise my voice, my kids know I mean business.” (The YBF)
