Matt Barnes, one of ‘Basketball Wives: Miami‘s first stars, has claimed the show’s producers (said to be led by Shaunie O’Neal) used dubious means to force his ex-wife Gloria Govan to remain on the show….even after she requested to leave to focus on raising her family.

Gloria and her sister Laura were invited to join the series to drive ratings because the latter was accused of bedding Shaunie’s husband Shaquille O’Neal. Ostracised by the infamous Miami group, the sisters were then sent to launch the successful  ‘Basketball Wives: Los Angeles’ which would go on to be colonised by Miami’s wives after their show was cancelled by VH1.

This week, Barnes has revealed why much of the show’s success came at the expense of his marriage and his ex-wife’s happiness.
