The lawsuit Evelyn Lozada filed against her ‘Basketball Wives’ co-star OG Chijindu has found its way to the public and sheds new light on just how much Lozada’s decision to liken the African athlete to a monkey has damaged her brand.
Insight into the 42 page feud below…
Lozada has been feuding with Ms. Chijindu since the dawn of the show’s latest cycle and has spent the last few weeks trying to put out fires caused by remarks she has made about her on and off the screen.
Remarks, many of the show’s viewers are rooted in colorism, elitisim and featurism.
It’s a play on both…Colorism also go hand & hand with featurism. OG got the African nose lips and facial structure. While Malaysia& Kristen got eurocentric features the narrow nose and Barbie doll looking features. So, they think OG is not worthy to be around them.

Featurism describes the act of discriminating against someone on the basis of their physical features. In cases relating to black people…features which sit outside of Eurocentric beauty standards.

If u look at Nazi propoganda, they installed the false idea in people’s minds that Jews were ugly and had big noses. The idea was a complete fraud; the Jewish nose is a myth, it’s not biologically true. U can see parallels across the world in how people are racialised – “Chavs”?

When OG learned that Lozada had placed a monkey emoji at the bottom of an Instagram targeted at her, she took to Twitter to condemn the remark which, according to Lozada, sparked the fire which is currently scorching her brand.
Now, the lawsuit she filed to sue her co-star for defamation of character has surfaced.
In it, Evelyn blames OG’s condemnation of her post for the breakdown of a business deal she was close to signing with a social networking app, or “mobile solution”, designed to connect women who have children of similar ages.
The offer above was made on September 17th 2019.
Hours later, the company sent another email to the mother of two rescinding their invitation, citing the negative media attention she was receiving, and not OG’s tweet, as their reason for doing so.
After speaking with the brand they don’t feel comfortable moving forward due to the recent press around Evelyn.
See a few examples of the media coverage the star has received in recent weeks below…

She is also suing for the “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

Evelyn. Go away. You’re not going to win this lawsuit in the court of justice or the court of public opinion
I’m about to have my people call OG if she does not have an attorney to defend herself from this BS. I’ll pay OG’s legal fees. This is ridiculous! It should be OG suing Evelyn & Shauni for racial discrimination and VH1 through vicarious liability for allowing Evelyn and Shauni to do so on the tv show
Exactly what I said I would drop everything. To send by OG
I agree. Shaunie is an executive on the show, helps to target and bully specific cast members, stirs up drama to keep it going and has had helped to get them fired when they attempt to defend themselves. Several have left targeted. bullied and in some cases physically and mentally abused before being sent on their way. And there was definitely racial discrimination with OG They attempted to blame OG for the things they did. And Evelyn is not black did make racial slurs against OG and should be held accountable for her actions, along with Shaunie and VH1 for allowing such actions to continue each season, and to escalate to this point this season. I stand by OG and Cece. And Evelyn’s claim to be a battered women’s advocate is an insult to battered and bullied women/people. She is a hypocrite as she bullies women all of the time and has for years now.
Evelyn is delusional. I wish her and the Gina Rodriguez’s of the world would keep silent in the presence of Black women.
For a group of women that everyone ‘hates’, every freaking group steals from them.
Black women are the most disrespected woman on this planet and if anybody tries some a few years of Holocaust false equivalencies to 400 years of slavery, I. Will. Eviscerate. You.
most disrespected women*
The jokes are writing themselves for little Ms. EVIL-LYN?…. I DO NOT feel bad for her! The way she talked MAD TRASH, harrassed, bullied, abused and lied on the show, it was all bound to catch up with her. And Shaunie is just full of sh!t. Now SHAUNIE has NO substance at all! Like why is she there ??? You’ll be always known as a ballers EX WIFE who lucked up (on an allstar weekend more then likely), had a sh!t load of sponsors, I mean KIDS by him, later divorced and I now you’re still reaping the benefits of his name. I can’t stand Shaunies ass! She’s another one that needs her ass beat!
Evelyn, we are still made about the Amber Guyger trial! Now was not the time to pull this s***!
Amen
Bloody hell evelyn is a malignant narcissist. She will never accept taking an L. OG is a mirror to all her negative traits and the bih can’t handle having to looking at her nasty reflection. I mean despite being a bully she literally thinks she is not a bully that’s how delusional these people are….
Evelyn Lozada is so RAN THRU, and irrelevant, Chad is her abuser when she wants sympathy, but her friend and ex husband of 15 minutes when she clapping. Killed Chad’s whole career, how he even speaks to her now is suicidal to his future.
Evelyn needs to learn she is not better or more beautiful than any if the other ladies, all of the ladies are beautiful and represent who we are as women. OG is gorgeous!
I agree. I also love that OG does not try too hard to be liked by them. Evelyn should be fired. Not OG.
Evelyn has nobody to blame but her damn self, he stated all this by calling OG a m*****, Evelyn is no beauty queen, with her filthy mouth and things she say about people, now she want to file a lawsuit against OG for something she started, get real. Evelyn should know KARMA is a b****. Suck it up Evelyn, you started all this BS, now you have to live with it. What goes around comes right back at you, ok.
You get what you give Evelyn. Don’t cry now, you should have considered the outcome before you engaged in such ratchetness. You met your match. Go OG!!!!!!
Lozano is ghetto garbage and a freakin bully. I don’t understand why she is still on the show! Reaching out to her Ex and acting like his texts are the truth LMAO. She hasn’t learned a damn thing from her mistakes and she looks real stupid!
You have to be careful what you say about people, especially when you claim to be a victim of abuse when the way you talk to and treat some individuals is a firm of bullying and physical, verbal, and mental abuse, believe it or not chickens do come home to roost.
OG will use any and everything to go after Evelyn!!! She went after her ex-husband, she joined the show solely for that purpose, she save all her messages from Chad!! It’s obvious she wants to have what Evelyn has…or had.
It’s good she had them. I don’t think there was any way she knew she’d come up against Evelyn when she kept those messages for one. To me it’s obvious she didn’t want Chad but that he is a friend or associate. Are we watching the same show? It’s clear to me she didn’t want what Evelyn had but they like others still kept in touch. Evelyn, in another attempt to bully OG got put in check with facts.
VH1 ASAP Fire Evelyn Lozada; she has committed a crime; Hate Crime: She is a racist.
#Basketballwives
No judge in their right mind going to believe Evelyn. She did the most on film. If the m***** wasn’t meant for OG why didn’t she put a picture of a fish or something up there. OG out did her this season and she was trying to say OG look like a m***** and get away with it you got caught so suffer the consequences
