Basketball Wives' Evelyn Lozada Clears Up the Rumors, From Weddings to Jennifer Williams and Wine Throwing

Tell me about your new reality show, Chad & Ev.
It's really different from Basketball Wives, thank God. I think the world will get to see a different side of me and a different side of Chad. People will get to see everything -- from the planning to me walking down the aisle.

TMZ reports that no Miami hotel will you let you get married at their establishment.
That's not what happened at all. A lot of high-end resorts are wary about letting camera crews film their staff. It's not because we are Evelyn and Chad, it's that they are looking out for the well-being of their staff. That is what the issue is. It has nothing to do with Basketball Wives. They just aren't comfortable with any reality show filming there.

So, we have finally reached the finale. What are your thoughts on season four as a whole?
I thought season four -- I mean, oh my God. After every season I think, "Wow, that was crazy." Whenever you start filming, you never know what's going to happen. You don't think to yourself, "We are going to do this and this!" All of the situations that happened were real. But did we handle them the right way? Most of the time, no. But I think this season a lot of us have reevaluated ourselves after a few things that happened. I don't think we realized the impact our show had, especially on young kids. We are taking a step back and realizing we need to do better.

Can we expect to see a different Evelyn Lozada Ochocinco in season five?
Evelyn will always be Evelyn. I will always say crazy things. But with things like the wine throwing incident, I really could have killed someone. That was one of those moments where I look back and think, "I could have gone to jail. God, why didn't I handle that differently?" You will never see things like that ever again.

It seems like Royce Reed and Tami Roman have fallen apart.
You can kind of see that at the end of the show and on the finale. Tami has been super supportive of her. Last season, Tami was the only one who would film with Royce. She gave her a story line. She's one of the main reasons Royce remains on the show. Not that Royce has to agree with everything Tami did.... But, the friendship has definitely changed.

Is it safe to say that you, Shaunie, and Tami are actual friends?
Yes. That's an understatement. We aren't just friends for Basketball Wives. We check up on each other, talk weekly, everything. I haven't filmed with Royce for two seasons -- there is no reason to. It is what it is.

Am I stupid to hope for a Jennifer and Evelyn BFF reunion?
You know what? I don't know. I know that is a safe answer. But after the reunion, you will see what happens. I wish you were asking me this next week cause if I tell you too much, Vh1 will be on my ass. The relationship is definitely in a very weird and strange place. There is a lot going on at the moment, outside of the show.

Does time heal all wounds?
Time does heal all wounds. But that doesn't mean you are going to be friends. It means time heals the wound, you shake hands and move on. I am not angry at her. All of that happened months ago, but a lot did happen. If we were ever to become friends again, it wouldn't happen overnight.

F*ck shaunie, tami & evelyn, i dont know what chad sees in that whore except for a piece of azz, she is definitely not marriage material, she slept with T.O. have some pride chad (SMDH). Jennifer is the classiest chick on the show, and like she says we all have skeletons in our closets, but just based on what we've learned on this show alone, i'd have to say evelyn has a fucking cemetery in her loft, a closet is too small for all her sh*t! Tami, you're tired, you're a bully and you have no class. shaunie, you're cute, but your attitude makes you unappealing and a bomb thrower who hides her hands once she starts sh*t! You stated you had a problem with people filing lawsuits, but you dont have a problem with ignorant bitches walking on tables, hitting people in the head with purses, throwing vases & wine bottles, or big bully bitches hitting abusing people half their size. I dont blame shaq for cheating on your azz, who knows what drama he put up with at home... PS: Tell punk azz john sally to pick on a male half his size and stop doing you, evelyn & tami's dirty work on the reunion specials. He was quick to attempt to check Jennifer but gave the rest of you trifling bitches a pass!

Oh, I forgot....as for the Miami hotels not filming the wedding. Be honest, it wasn't about the employees, the hotels main concern was their "imagine". I have a friend that works at one of the hotels and they have catered to many high-profiled weddings. Really, it's has to do with sponsors bailing out, the boycotts, the bullying. If you owned a 'five-star" hotel, would you want that type of publicity associated with your establishment? I doubt it?

I have to give it to Evelyn and and PR. They have reached out to almost every publication to clean up all the negativity Evelyn and her other possee (Shaunie and Tami) have created. This whole season has been a joke!!! As for her relationship with Chad. It's going to be interesting to see how this spans out. Now, that he is a free agent....my thought are is she still going to want to be with him? Chad doesn't strike me as a person who would let Evelyn be the bread winner. I honestly believe that won't last. Watch out ....Evelyn will be hit having to pay Chad's child supports payments, this is going to be interesting. Lastly, Evelyn is looking for sympathy. She has as Shaunie states: "a ghetto hot mess".I was really believing Evelyn was trying to clean up her act until I view the reunion when they had a surprise for Jennifer (polygraph test). Evelyn, why surprise Jennifer in front of viewers? Did you see the on "Shaunie, Evelyn and Tammi face? (Viewer...check it out!!!) Why couldn't you take the test together(seems fair to me) You still haven't changed and that's "SAD." Is this the lesson you really want to teach to your "Step-daughters?" That life is about being sneaky and dishonest?
