‘Basketball Wives‘ royal Evelyn Lozada made headlines earlier this month when she claimed that her feud with co-star OG Chijindu was to blame for the erosion of an endorsement deal she was close to signing.

The deal fell through after the brand learned that Lozada posted an image of a monkey following a Instagram message directed at Ms. Chijindu who is an African woman.

Since then, her message (and the allegedly racist and featurist language she used to berate Chijindu and co-star Cece Gutierrez on camera) has seen thousands take to Twitter to declare that they will pull their support for any company which aligns itself with her.

The latest company who will soon be forced to choose between its profits and relationship with the TV star?

Khloe Kardashian’s.
