Tami Roman Says “Millions Will Suffer” if ‘Basketball Wives’ is Taken Off the Air

May 8, 2012 by The Master Chief

For some time now, “Basketball Wives” has been the subject of major scrutiny, and various online petitions are calling for its removal from airwaves.

But at least one of the show’s cast members seems to think that if the show were yanked off the air, it would be detrimental to society and will cause “millions of people” to suffer.

Tami Roman — one of the stars of the hit VH1 reality show — is being sued by Creme de la Creme hair products on claims that she went against a contractual agreement, and failed to promote their hair products on the show, instead choosing to promote her own hair line.

The company has asked the Texas judge to put in a court order to stop VH1 from showing any segments where Tami promotes her hair line, instead of theirs.

However, according to court documents obtained by TMZ, Tami claims that the company didn’t pay her on time, thereby breaking any contract previously agreed upon.

Furthermore, Tami said that preventing the show from airing would affect “millions of people,” and the harm Creme de la Creme claims to be suffering “pales in comparison.”

She’s also asking the court to let the show air as is, and wants her name and likeness to be removed from the brand’s products, and she also wants the company to pay her court costs.

Hopefully, the judge will allow VH1 to air to show on regular schedule so that “millions” won’t have to suffer.

    Most African American women do not behave this way. Still, if the networks were not aware that there were impressionable minds watching, the shows would air without commercials. Of course they do air with commercials because they know people with impressionable minds are indeed watching. I’m not against reality tv. I enjoy some reality shows just like everyone else, but this one in particular has taken a dark and violent turn.

    Critics of the cancellation movement repeat the age-old, “change the channel if you don’t like it” mantra, failing to recognize that the core issue is the perceived disrespect that is inherent in the networks’ refusal to portray productive examples of African American women in their current programming.

    Tammi is a hood rat and should find better things to say and do on the show, who is she to tell anyone what they can say out of their mouth, leave Kesha alone u bum bitch and find a new hair style

    Tami is a mess. 40 something yr old girl in a women’s body. I’ve lost all respect for her after Monday night’s episode. She made her self look very classless and i really wished that girl Keisha stuck up for her self. I’m sick of all these women… Correction girls* on tv now with sooo much money but yet soo angry because their talked about and yet they talk about everyone themselves. Is that really your only problem? Are you women that bored that this what you choose to do. I am only 24, and I’m disgusted. So what does that say about you Tami. Maybe you need a new therapist or seek guidance from else where(God always help), because that anger management is not working at all! Courts by all means do what you have to do. I will not be one of the millions who suffer.

    Can you say “exaggerated sense of self worth”?

    Who cares for real?

    Who cares. This show is a disgrace! If the show is going to be continued, please find an ex-
    basketball wife or girlfriend who grew up in the “HOOD” who will not backdown and has a
    backbone. All the new cast member will have to do is just know how to “bob and weave” and I
    GUARANTEE, those other brown nosers won’t be afraid of evelyn anymore. As for tami, if she
    hasn’t gotten over anger issues by now (age 40), she never WILL! Those sessions with that
    therapist aren’t helping not one bit!
