Basketball Wives Episode 13: Tami Roman Needs Rehab, Seriously

Basketball Wives Episode 13: Tami Roman Needs Rehab, Seriously

It takes a lot to shock us. As you know, living in Miami, well, you see some things. Then you go home and watch reality television for your job, and you see some more things. Let's just say our skin is pretty damn thick.

But while watching Basketball Wives Monday evening, our jaw was on the floor for a good portion of the program. The reason? Tami Roman and the fact she is bat-shit crazy.

Also shocking: the Vh1 series has hit a new low. And that's really saying something. The entirety of last night's program focused on one of the dumbest situations we have ever seen, and we're defining "dumb" by reality TV standards, which is the dumbest kind of dumb.

We will never get those 60 minutes back. Thanks, Vh1.

Last week, we left off moments into a familiar scene: Miss Roman verbally assaulting Kesha Nichols once again. Having guzzled some liquid courage from the bar, Tami needed Kesha to hear (once again) that she hates every inch of her tiny body and that until she hears the words "I'm" and "sorry," bitch isn't getting her purse back. (Mental note: don't leave your personal belongings in the presence of Tami Roman.)

As the other ladies watched this tussle go down, they were, for once in their lives, speechless. To see Evelyn Lozada have nothing to say is almost like seeing a unicorn poop diamonds. It's impossible. Then, to add more strange the stew, the ladies start defending Kesha. Maybe it was because of all the nonsensical "reasons" Tami started to list to explain how and why she won't be giving the purse back. Obviously, all that anger management she has been doing is totally working out.

When the women arrive back to their hotel after the Kesha vs. Tami showdown, they break into Kenya Bells' room to continue down the road to destroying everyone's self-esteem. Because that's what rational, grown women do. Ok, moving on.

Have you ever seen an episode of Intervention? Where the full-blown booze found constantly speak to her friends and family in a manner that resembles someone speaking in tongues? Yeah, that was Tami in Tahiti.

Back at the resort, the girls somehow talk Kesha into apologizing to get her belongings back. Tami insanely responds that Kesha should actually be thanking her, because she left her bag behind. Um, do you mean when Kesha stepped aside because she was about to be popped in the mouth?

Slowly but surely, the scene turned from an episode of Intervention to merely a sad display of a mean girl doing her best to break down someone's sanity.

In Tami's defense, she watched the show with the rest of us and offered Kesha a public apology on Facebook last night, saying, "I am NOT a bully as depicted on the show, but I did make poor decisions in handling my differences with my cast mate. I sincerely apologize to all of us, as well as to my castmate who was on the receiving end of my wrath." But how much can a belated Facebook status count, really?

We watch Basketball Wives because of the drama, its true. But if episode 13 is an example of what we can expect from future episodes or even season five, we are going to have to ask you to hide the razors. Last night's episode sunk to lows we've only seen previously in Kenya's wardrobe: beyond dreadful.

Please Vh1, get your shit together.

Tammi and Shaunie and Eve need they ass kick for the things that they did to the new ladies on the show.Shaunie could have put a stop to a lot of things that happen this season but instill she join in and in the end she wanted to act like to her pastor as if she was not down with the bull shit now that her pastor seen the show I wonder what he think about her. She put on this big front like she really is all that,but all she is,is a hood rat with money. She never embrace the new ladies on the show if we look back the only person she embrace is Tammi is it because she is scared of her or what.

I.O

Tami was my favorite...but now I can't stand her. She's a BULLY!!! Tami is just an unhappy lonely woman trying to make others scared of her big ass. Shaunie and Evelyn should have told Tami to leave the hood in Miami. Tami thinks she's all grown by confronting Kesha over something so stupid but really Tami you made a fool of yourself. Shaunie you should know better but you are just the same as Evelyn, Tami and Suzzie ignorant, stupid lonely bitches. Tami, you are never going to get a man until you get it together YOU BIG BULLY. I hope these ladies all get kicked out of the show...I thought basket wives should be about classy women...not these hot mess, ugly, uneducated, lazy, hoes....they are not even wifey.

All the females at the table acted as cowardly as Tami 'Queen of Bullies and Classless People". I despite violence, but this sorry excuse for a human, deserves a good session of slapping and insuts; right to the point of humiliation she puts others under. By the way I did not see the apology. Also the shakily ex as a producer should consult with a lawyer to get a shallow idea of how many legally abiding acts took placein her presence and her approval. Yes I said approval! Bunch of cowards, specially Suzie"Slave, Rat and Ass Kisser to all

Tammi is like a shark. If she smells that you are afraid of her thats when she attacks.

REALLY... Tami you need to be in rehab, you are a drunk. BBW, proves that low class, no class, stupidity, trashy, fake, unstable, loud, no morals, disgusting, cruel, heartless, bitter females are in all races. VH1, should have never aired that episode. Thumbs up for all you suppose to be females on BBW, for letting the world know how not to act. Thanks. Tami, project girls, parents should be a bit concern when she is in the presence of those girls. Tami should not be around anything unless it does not have life. Tami & Evelyn are both bullies, thugs & drama queens. Tami that was not your pursue or personal items. I can only imagine the things you did for money, back in the day. I hope Tami gets legal action taken against her & that place that the stupid shooters put the fish, whales, sharks & all the other sea animals take action against you all, also. Don't do or say anything to hurt anyone, unless you don't mind someone hurting you. BBW are grown in age but act like infants. BBW need to act like women & stop thinking like a child. Most of you BBW are a waste of skin. Tami is a BULLY, thief, criminal. All uncontrollable animals(Tami), should be caged.

Folk who have never had money! They still do not have money even when their bank accounts are loaded. Forget BBW!!! Try Ghetto Girls Gone Insane!!!! Project tricks can hide in the closet better than these ????? Knock off shoes,purses, and ginormous earrings!! He'll you can't tell BBW from Hood chics!!! Who released these mad women?

Tami, Evelyn, Suzie, and Shaunie should be ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!! Especially Tami for yesterday's episode the way she bullied Kesha. I CAN NOT STAND THE SITE OF TAMI, EVELYN, OR Suzie (she runs her mouth like a freaking puppet). Shaunie you have become one of them! You continue to allow this stupidity to take place when you know millions of girlis may be watching. Is this a show you are proud of? It sickens me that you have continued to keep this show on the air and all of you ignorant childish women are profiting from this! I would never ever allow my child to watch this show, as a matter of fact I 100% agree with the boycott of this show and I pray that you go off the air!!!!!!! Everyone please do not support Evelyn Lozada, Tami Roman, Shaunie O'neal and Suzie (whatever her last name is) anymore!!!!!!!! Even though Evelyn was crying with Kesha she is still as fake and as big of a bully as Tami is! I pray to God that this show is CANCELLED AND THEY STOP PROFITING OFF OF BULLYING AND ACTING LIKE ELEMENTARY KIDS! Shaunie you are no better than them because you are right there in the middle and continuing to let this happen. If anything YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRESED THAT YOUR DAUGHTERS KNOW YOU A BULLY! You are going to meet your match one day and I hope they get your good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
