Jennifer Williams, Royce Reed and Kesha Nichols FIRED from “Basketball Wives”

June 15, 2012 by The Master Chief

“Basketball Wives” creator Shaunie O’Neal wasn’t kidding when she said in an interview earlier this week that if she had the choice, she would get rid of three cast members next season. Sources close to the show have revealed that (SURPRISE!) three of the ladies will NOT be returning to the hit VH1 reality series for the upcoming 5th Season.

According to TMZKesha Nichols, Jennifer Williams, and Royce Reed have all been fired so that the show can drop what sources describe as “dead weight.” It’s unclear who will replace them, but the trio will be getting their pink slips any day now.

Royce was cut because she isn’t legally allowed to talk about her baby daddy Dwight Howard, on account of a 2009 gag order that blocks her from mentioning her ex in any way. She also can’t get along with some of the women on the show, who have reportedly “ostracized” her, and refuse to shoot scenes with her.

As for the other two … producers think Jennifer is a liability (after she sued Nia Crooks last month for slapping her on the show), and they say Kesha is just way too boring.

In an interview with The Insider, Shaunie O’Neal said that being with some of the women on the show makes her feel “uncomfortable,” and if she had the choice, she would drop “three” of cast members from the next season.

“There would be three who are out immediately in Miami. No questions asked. Not in anything personal, just not where I’m trying to go. Not on the same page,” she said.

Looks like Shaunie got her wish.

Are you going to miss Jennifer, Royce and Kesha? Why or why not?

      Shaunie, is really fake, she said after talking to her pastor that she will distant herself from some of the girls.  The ones that was causing all the drama was Tammy and Evelyn and you had the nerve to keep them.  Shaunie, I thought had a little class but when this show started airing, I saw a side I didn’t know.  I could see why her and Shaq is divorced, and yes sweetie, you are a hot GtHETTO mess.  I can’t believe you go along with all of Tammy and Evelyn ghetto bullsh.t, I’m wondering if your scared of them.  You co-sign on every wrong thing they do as if you don’t know they are wrong.  You scared to speak up to them, you sat right there when Tammy took that girls pocketbook, and did not try to get Tammy to give it you, so you could give it back to Keisha.  And the whole time you were around when they jump up and wanting to fight you sat there and just looked.  I was waiting for you to just stand up and say, “wait a minute Tammy and Evelyn now you can’t and will not be acting like this in my presents” and your pastor need to ashame for not telling you.  I was in church a few weeks ago and the Pastor said ” Haters will stab you in your back, but a real friend will punch you straight in the face”  they will tell you when your right and when your wrong, that is what a real friend would do regard less, because if I’m your friend I could tell you the truth. Shaunie you make me sick to my stomach, your such  a punk.  What ever church you go to, I can’t believe none of those church women are not telling you, that you need to fix that problem.  Yes, I know that your pastor said that you need to leave some of those friends alone, but it was the wrong ones.  YOu have lost a lot of viewers and will lose a lot more with that decision.  An then you get on the reunion show and make it seem like Jennifer was wrong for pressng charges on that girl, No you was wrong for sitting there and letting it happen.  You and the rest of them know that Jen and Keisa is not fighters so that makes yall BULLIES!! and for Royce she will tell all of yall about yourself and will fight you if you put your hands on her, and all of yall know it, that is why your dis-missing them from the show. And you Shaunie, like that mess, you don’t put your business on there, But you know what I would like to see that show mix it up a little, but BASKETBALL WIVES FROM THAT SHOW WITH SOME OF THEM FROM L. A. and I bet they wouldn’t be jumping up in JACKIE, Malaysia, Kimsha,OR Imani they wouldn’t try that mess with them.  Them women got more class but don’t forget were they came from because if you bring it to them, they are going to bring it right back.

    See shaunie tries to act as if she’s sweet but unnder all that she gets rid of the girls who don’t want to fight and talks of how she is stressed from all of the fights but the main people that are fighting are her so called friends who makes the show an embarrassement she might as well cancel the entire show the only thing it is good for is the fights because obviously everyone doesn’t have a husband to talk about

    Shaunie is super fake and really stupid, jennifer was your supposed friend but she off the show bc you up evelyn ass, i wouldnt have come and hung out with you either bc you would say im not in it, im not taking sides but you always took the side with evelyn…as far as Royce i would rather her go on bout her life and get it together, she has a little more sense than these bitches to just stay out the DRAMA, you deserve better honey…get your shit together for you and yours..and the BITCH was just a waste of space on the show, you might as well had put Carmelo little wife on there, she aint that lame….

  • Kortni fields

    Shouldve just canceled that MESSY shit……….just a waste of space they could be putting something more important on…Not Love and Hip hop either!!

    Oh no I love Jennifer Williams! I hate to see her leave the show. Really BBW’s you will boot Jennifer and keep Tami say it ain’t so! If Jennifer goes I am turning the channel for sure. I use to like Tami but she is NOW way too over the top for me. If anyone should get released it should be Tami. I am so dissapointed in this decision. Goodbye Basketball Wives!

  • Thats a Shame

    I had NOT planned on watching it again this season and now to hear this, I know there is no reconsidering. Why she chose to get rid of the people who were trying to avoid the drama is beyond me. They can have that ridiculous show, I wont be watching.
