The ratings dump that has been ‘Basketball Wives‘ latest season has been rocked by more unfortunate news.
News, that may force VH1 to fire one of its stars Evelyn Lozada.
Lozada has been accused of bullying and harassing the black women who appear alongside her on the TV series.
Now, big wigs at VH1 are under pressure to pull the plug on its relationship with the Reality TV royal after she racially abused a Filipino cast-member by calling her ‘Lee Lee’….a clear reference to cruel Asian stereotypes.
A petition named Help Relieve Ms.Lozada Of Her Services from Basketball Wives appeared on Change.org and has been signed by over 5,000 people around the world.
It reads…
If Evelyn is brought back for another season, I don’t see myself (Jia-Jiselle Dominique) and many other people supporting these group of ladies, and some of their great business ventures anymore. It’s disrespectful to the consumer, which is us. The people. We fund their checks, so this is our simple request. Remove her, she must be held accountable, just like Roseanne Barr, and everyone else in 2018.
Evelyn’s attempt to apologise fell flat.
Why?
VH1 is yet to make a decision.
