Shaunie O’Neal is stepping up to defend herself against the ‘Basketball Wives‘ production insider who leaked information about the future of the show to the reputable blind items website ‘Crazy Days and Nights.’
The business woman’s response?
Wait and see.
Full story below…
The ‘Basketball Wives’ TV empire is owned by Viacom (home of VH1) and is powered by ratings/money generated by viewers.
So, when said viewers used social media to slam the conflict of interest the show presented by allowing O’Neal to stand as both star and producer there were fears the series would follow in the damned footsteps of ‘Basketball Wives Miami’.
On Friday, a story published by ‘Crazy Days and Nights’ startled the entrepreneur’s fans by sharing a story, said to have been delivered by VH1 insider, which revealed that the company had its ear to the digital streets and planned to rescue the series by draining the power out of production role so that they could steer it in a democratic direction.
The leak read…
She is going to have to give up that producer title (or at least all the power she had with the title) to stick around for another season. Shaquille O’Neal/Shaunie O’Neal “Basketball Wives”.
It seems, the alleged move was to be made to quietly to reprimand the Reality TV star for her mishandling of the show’s colorism and bullying scandal while protecting her from the backlash she would face if her detractors learned that she had become a “lame duck.”
a person in a position of authority in a company or organization whose power is reduced because theirtime in the job is about to end.
It didn’t help that OG Chijindu, who Shaunie is feuding with, is said to have been asked to return to the show for a third season. A clear sign, as far as some saw it, that Shaquille O’Neal’s ex-wife was no longer calling the shots.
The fact that OG came on the scene and broke that mean girl shit up was all the satisfaction I needed.Shaunie can keep her title but OG revealed the bullshit that Shaunie do. #basketballwives

I hope the rumors are true that shaunie may get the boot as a producer. She’s been holding it against these women for too long. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. #basketballwives

If Shaunie weren’t a producer, she would’ve only lasted a season or two. She uses her title to intimidate the cast, is boring & never has a storyline outside of promoting her weed business that I’ve never heard of. Time to pull your weight now, nostrils! #basketballwives pic.twitter.com/0LkZDkTvfm

i swear i was the only person who agreed with brandi. if shaunie cant take the heat, she needs to stay a producer and not be apart of the show. https://t.co/BP8tL2ejbh

I don’t understand how shaunie is even allowed to be part of the cast when she uses being the executive producer as a way to scare the women away from calling her out for being messy. Notice what happened to Brandi when she called shaunie out. #basketballwives

LOL on this reality show, they are telling this girl Brandi she needs to apologize to Shaunie because shaunie is the executive producer of the show and therefore her boss ??????????

I’m so proud that @VH1 is finally gonna stop supporting the favoritism, elitism, colorism and unfair biases that @ShaunieONeal thrived on. Time’s up sa-weetie! @iHeartOG, you truly shook the table this season sis! ??

Shaunie’s response?
It’s all a lie.
She told concerned fans…
Wait for the credits my love. #BeBlessed.
Unfortunately, some aren’t convinced….as they believe the leak holds weight because of the platform it emerged on and because it anticipated her denial by adding..
She is going to have to give up that producer title (or at least all the power she had with the title) to stick around for another season.
If shaunie o’Neill lose that producer roll in basketball wives yall can kiss my view goodbye@BasketballWives

Will OG’s return to the series prove that O’Neal has been demoted by her VH1 bosses?
Share your thoughts below…
It’s a vanity title Mariah huq already broke this down on m2m she came up with the concept of the show she shopped it bravo took it she had a hand in casting FIRST SEASON!!!! That is all
Two words. Vanity title. Whoever leaked the story really did a number on her by adding that extra highlighted part. They knew she’d lie.
B**** I love Shaunie …so y’all can just can’t hating …I don’t like a lot of people…b****** don’t watch the show …OG can take her ass to another show ..nothing against OG ….
Yesss
I agree
Did Evelyn lie though when she alluded to OG looking like an a**… regardless of racism… she does have a**-like features
youre a moron how do you compare people to animal. you just like evilina
I agree, go look at something else. #BBW #bossbitch #thatsmsshaunie
What demographic watches this show? This s**t is stupid
I think OG was not innocent in any of the drama
She had a real messed up altitude and everyone can criticize the other ladies but I hope she isnt returning and thats just my opinion. Idk about all the colorism but she had a big ass chip on her shoulder and her attitude was s***** a lot of the times. I hope the other ladies return.
THANK YOU!!!!! I don’t condone everything the other ladies did but I wasn’t on the OG bandwagon either. A lot of her approach and arguments were reaches but people loved the narrative and ran with it with this whole “colorism/bullying” thing. I saw right thru that sh*t.
Yes! I do not care to see OG back On the show at all
None of the women were innocent. But wow. People like Shaunie truly now how to pick & choose their battle. Shaunie, Evel-lin, Malaysia & etc. got what they put out & then couldn’t handle it. They all admitted that they took a lost. “A lost”, coming from grown women. A lost is equivalent to President Donald Trump. I was always team Shaunie. Until I saw her true colors…
Shauni should retain her status all around and OG should be made to leave.
I think Shaunie should be demoted I stopped watching after I saw how OG and CeCe were being treated how she let Evelyn,Feby and Kristen bully them and she laughed and thought it was okay but when OG stood up to them she said she was a threat to them,Tami was supposed to be her friend and she turned on her for Evelyn, I think the show should get rid of Shaunie, Evelyn, Malaysia,Feby and Kristen
That trash Shaunie needs to get taken down a few notches. To use her position to intimidate and lie about other cast members would have her worthless self sued in the real world.
I can’t stand OG I think see is a bully and a mean person and i hope she doesn’t come back to the show and I don’t think there was a race issue or a bully issue I agree with Evelyn and shaunie
right….and she. look like she was supposed to be a man
OG, is not a good fit for Basketball Ball Wives. (My Observation). It appears she has underlying colorism issues with women of lighter hue, ( threaten by what she believes is Beautiful) and needs to seek counseling. If, it wasn’t so, she would be her natural self, and wouldn’t n’t try so hard to look like them. Remove the Blondes Wigs/Straight Hair. Stop the Foolery! IJS
I Really like and respect O.G. I believe part of the reason they seperated her at the reunion is so they could attack CeCe without being checked. Kudos to CeCe for not falling into that trap. OG’s interview just enhanced my admiration for her.
Sad that envy and overall disrespect is still alive and well, do easily pitted against each other for corporate gain. Having two sides to every story is good for ratings. Why can’t both sides stand for themselves. Mean girls to sociopath is not a good look for anyone especially black women. Bias is everywhere that does not mean that everything is going to be either or, at what point do we display our strength by working together even if we disagree to make some of the bags made off of US. YOU can disagree without being disrespectful and damaging to each other!
Ugh… why even give this colorist the light to shine. She’s nobody but a ballers baby momma who invested the money she reaped from his name. I can’t stand her! No substance at all!
Well ppl are to damn invested on this show…Og was f***** messy..just like jackie but it’s a tv show yall m*********** are crazy.. wats yur real life hitting for
she has Shaq back…..wtf do she give a damn if that show make it anymore?
Shaunie never said OG couldn’t return to the show, so if she comes back doesn’t mean s***, also basketball wives is a good show so if Shaunie and Evelyn goes the show wouldn’t last at all….people are such haters
If it’s TRUE the cherry on top would be to bring Brandys badass back to the show…?????
Damn Queens, we want to be the ones in charge..Now theres going to be a bunch of white people telling black people how to act and portraying us as ghetto and ignorant. We are supposed to uplift each other. More African Americans in charge create more opportunities for others.Seems to me y’all are the mean girls.smh
OG’s nasty ass needs to go
This OG girl!!! Is getting on my Nerves and she need to Stop her sh#t!!! None of these women are Racist!!! I’ m really sick of hearing about OG!!! Why doesn’t OG get her one Story line. Running off of Chad & Evelyn that’s Dead move on sis!!! At this point. OG. looking like a Thin Line between Love & Hate!!! Move On OG!!! Go head Shaunie don’t let this OG run you & your Queens Show y’all Created. OF with that colorism, racism bullsh# there’s Not a Racism Bone in you girls bones❤❤ as a black women that I am I know what you tmean Evelyn, you Love your Black people we love you too❤❤ My Blessings to my Queens
Everybody jealous because shaunie is smart and liked by everyone OG just look like a man
Girl you are trippin.
Soooo y’all obviously were watching a totally different show because BBWLA wasn’t it. They talked about OG from the start. About her hair and the way she dresses. It was Malaysia and Shaunie I believe but for sure about one the people being Malaysia. If someone is constantly talking about me behind my back then yes my attitude towards them is going to change. They never gave that girl a chance period.
I think there is a lot of favoritism on this show. I feel like the producer should be someone who is not a basketball wives in the show so people can freely speak their mind without backfire. I love OG, she is not afraid to speak her mind and does not tolerate anyone BS. If she is fired from the show, it would be because she voice her honest opinion and some people cannot take heat
No she doesn’t look like an a**
Yall complain about Shaunie but, you still watch! Sthu!
I admire OG’s intelligence. Very impressed with how she expresses her self. However I feel She may Be one that has “Colorism” issues. There are other brown beauties on BW & I dont Hear them complaining??♀️
I love all the ladies on BBW, with the exception of Jen. But if I have to choose it would be OG all day. Only because she stands up for herself and she is telling the truth about how she gets treated unfairly for doing the exact same thing that everyone else on the show does. I don’t know if I agree with the “why” she gets treated because I don’t like to assume, but anyone who isn’t lying to themselves can see that they complain about what OG says and does when they themselves have done the same, and continue to do so. If they don’t like you and they see you’re strong and can’t bully you, you become a threat to them. Especially when you do to them what they do to you. It’s pure B.S.
Well if they change O’Neal and she not on BBW then I won’t be wanting it anymore
Shaunie should hav left that ugly b**** off the show bullying nall thats was tammy job she ran all previous ppl off that were timid she was the bully old faced asss but if shaunie leave we all leaving make it the ugly show
I think that all y’all is doing to much… this is a tv show and ya’ll act like ya’ll know these people personally… wow get a life. . OG is a s*** starter and a bully… she’s the one who needs to go..ppl just don’t wanna she other people make it… serious ya’ll if you don’t like what goes on, on the show!! Stop watching it that will solve your problems..
Shaunie was warned several years ago to not do these Reality TV show if she wanted to be a Business Women BUT NO she took her ass and did just what she said she would not do. So whatever mess she finds herself in dealing with the Housewives she deserves. Shaunie don’t think you are better then the other women on the show when you get good advice TAKE IT!
Shaunie, acted like a clueless fo when it came to issues of bullying. You (Shaunie), is so far up Evelyn’s a**, she couldnt see the light. I really once like Evelyn a lot but that b**** is a real bully. In it messes with me that Shaunie aloud that to go on.
Shaunie was a so far up Evelyn’s a** she could not see the light of the bullying. Evenly should be kicked in the a** as well as kicked off the show. I once liked Evelyn but she turned into a real bully.
I believe Shaunie is a bully, always threatening folks that don’t agree with her..I thought Evelyn had grown up, but of course a tiger never loses their stripes. She always trying to fight somebody, except OG!! Because OG would’ve busted that ass. That’s why they were scared to be on the same reunion set. Shaunie you got a nice family, loads of money focus your negative energy into uplifting ladies vs. tearing down those who won’t kiss your behind!!
I’m glad because she is a mean girl ! You can’t go around think that you are better than anyone and misstrat them. God doesn’t like ugly. It will come back 7fold.. she was so dirty this year ! My question is will she come back? Maybe because she has a contract and then Cece ,and the good girls will beat her up
It will be good for Shaunie to finally get what she deserve. It was a huge mistake giving her that “executive” title in the first place.
LASONDRA NEEDS!!! TO BE O.U.T!!! PERIOD THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND FROM READING THESE COMMENTS ITS ONLY ONE PERSON IN FAVOR AND ITS PROBABLY A FRIEND OF HERS….GURL BYE!!!✌✌ YOUR SERVICES ARE NO!!! LONGER NEEDED???????????????????
KARMA IS A B**** HUH LASHONDRA O’NEAL??????????????
I think she should be removed. The way she treated OG was terrible. She supported Evenly in the whole situation. She knew Rvenly posted that m***** to mark OG and the comment she stated about believing what Evenly said it wasn’t about OG that was a lie. We all know she was making fun of OG. Then they had the nerves to put OG by herself during the reunion because through she a treat to the other case members was crazy. Evenly is the danger one and she should have been remove too. REMOVE HER!!!!
