For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
One of the world's most well known Basketball Wives, executive producer
Shaunie O'Neal is a force to be reckoned with. Beautiful, confident,
ambitious, and compassionate are only a few adjectives that can describe
this devoted mother of five, who began her career in film marketing.
Shaunie's goal with her series was to shed light on the complex lives of
the women who stand beside these larger-than-life professional athletes
and to show that it's not all glitz and glamour. An emerging
entrepreneur set to launch her own shoe line, as well as a
philanthropist who dedicates her spare time to helping others
(especially women and children) Shaunie shines both on and off the
screen. Having been married to one of the most famous basketball players
of all time, Shaquille O'Neal, Shaunie is Queen Bee to the rest of the
wives, who swarm to her for advice and guidance.
RoyceRoyce has been in the spotlight nearly her entire life. Born and raised
in Orlando loving all things sports, she is a former gymnast,
competitive cheerleader, and dancer for professional basketball teams in
both Miami and Orlando. Recently she started her own Burlesque Dance
Company Fantashique which travels all over Florida. The only thing more
colorful than her Fantashique dance moves is her personality. She is a
firecracker, a strong-minded, driven woman who is no stranger to
confrontation. While she's a sweetheart most of the time, Royce can turn
it on in a hot second and rarely bites her tongue. In the future, she
looks forward to pursuing her acting career, finding a new man, and
mixing with the rest of the basketball wives. Her hardest task with the
other wives will be debunking the negative stereotype that the wives
have against team dancers.
JenniferJennifer "Red Carpet" Williams is no stranger to the highlife having
grown up in South Orange, NJ, an upscale suburb just outside of New York
City. So it didn't surprise many when she ended up marrying a wealthy
and successful professional basketball player, Eric Williams, whom she
first met in 2000. Her glitzy lifestyle extends into her professional
life in being a high-end real estate agent and wildly successful
business owner of the upscale women's work out company Flirty Girl
Fitness. Behind all the bling, however, Jennifer supports several
charities and even founded Project Save the World to help fight several
different causes. Jennifer keeps her friends close and guards them
viciously. Her mercurial relationship with hubby Eric shows the unique
challenges and hard work it takes to be the wife of a professional
basketball player.
SuzieNo party in Miami really begins until Suzie Ketcham arrives. Having
lived in New Jersey, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and now Miami, Suzie is
connected all across the country and is the social butterfly of the
basketball wives. She met professional basketball player Michael
Olowokondi while attending college at Pepperdine University and was
pregnant with their first child her senior year in college. They would
have two wonderful children and be together for 10 years before finally
splitting. Having been with an athlete for that long, Suzie knows the
ins and outs of the "game" and is extremely protective and loyal to her
friends. If she senses that one of her ladies is being attacked, she'll
be the first girl on the scene ready to have their back. Now, fresh off
her break up, Suzie has her eyes set on her multiple charities, her
amazing children, her luxury real estate agent ambitions, and of course,
tackling the nightclub scene with her best group of basketball wives.
EvelynEvelyn Lozada was born in Brooklyn, raised in the boogie-down Bronx and
is always in a New York state of mind. Raised solely by her mother, this
Puerto Rican beauty always aspired to break out of her relatively small
world and always dreamt of something bigger and better. Evelyn had her
first taste of the entertainment world when she took a job as an
assistant to a well known entertainment attorney to the stars and would
eventually meet and become engaged to the basketball star, Antoine
Walker. Evelyn moved to her adopted hometown of Miami in 2007 and now
co-owns Dulce (and dulceshoes.net) an upscale shoe boutique located in
Coral Gables, Florida. Dulce now allows Evelyn to live out her childhood
dreams of fashion. In addition to being a socialite that supports many
charitable causes, Evelyn takes great pride in being a devoted mother
and businesswoman. She is highly regarded as a fashionista and style
trendsetter. Even before she founded Dulce, Evelyn was photographed not
just because of ex-fiancé's game, but because of her own impressive
"shoe game".
GloriaThrough her sister, who was a highly touted basketball player, at the
age of only 12 years old, Gloria Govan would meet the man whom she will
soon marry, Matt Barnes. After several years apart, Matt and Gloria
would reconnect when he played near Gloria's hometown of Oakland. The
two fell madly in love and now have twin 16-month-old boys. At the young
age of 24, aside from planning the upcoming wedding of her dreams,
Gloria is also focused with businesses outside of basketball and is
heavily involved in several charities including Matt's very own Athletes
Vs Cancer. Her storybook relationship always seems to be questioned by
the rest of the women who feel that it's maybe "too" perfect to be true.
Her hardest task is fitting in with the rest of the women who are
several years older and who constantly question her naïveté. Whether she
even cares what the others think is another matter!

Permalink Reply by Carla Jenkins on May 16, 2010 at 11:12am Being that Suzie nor Eve never made it down the aisle, it baffles me that Jennifer takes "marriage" advice from them... um, find a person with a marriage that works, and seek advice from them... or leave him...
Ph@tty said:Did you guys see the part where the girls were encouraging Jennifer to cheat on her husband. With no shame too and Jenn was down with it too. I know every baller husband looked at his wife across the table a little differently. I bet it never crossed their mind that their wife could be and is ENCOURAGED to be just as shady and scandalous as they are. There will be some fighting going on in those households over this show.

Permalink Reply by ABsolute Privilege on May 16, 2010 at 11:46am I cannot stand how hypocritical both Gloria and Laura are in this episode. Now I know why Gloria has no friends! We all know that Laura was sleeping with Shaq. Why is Laura trying to act as if she is so humble and down-to-earth. I hope that both Gloria and Laura get what's coming to them!

She was the very one telling Royce about how fake Gloria was being, and did y'all hear the comment she made about doing the charity work with Royce? "I don't mind doing it, I just don't wanna do it with her azz..." WTF?? B**** please!!! And then the face she made when Royce hugged her?? I am so over her uppity ass; and she's wondering why somebody is harassing her via email??? BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAKE, SELF-RIGHTEOUS B**** EVELYN!!!

Permalink Reply by JustMe on May 17, 2010 at 8:13am I wonder does Eric disrespect Jennifer because he knows deep down if not for his money she wouldn't have given him no play? Cheating while dating and on the honeymoon? That marriage was doomed from jump. I think Suzy keeps encouraging Jen to cheat, because she wants Jen to be just like her and Evelyn, no rich man footing the bill.
Permalink Reply by JustMe on May 17, 2010 at 8:14am Ok so first-- is "throwing drinks" the new "punching a b**** in the face??" I can't wait to see next week's episode when Evelyn confrots the stalker chick. I hate when the girls talk about Royce cuz I like her, but in the interview Jen & Eve did on necolebitchie, they all get along now so I don't pay attention to it as much. I couldn't believe that Suzie was tellin Jen to cheat on her husband, but I would probably be saying the same thing to my girl (especially if I'd been thru the same thing with my ex like Suzie has). Eric acts like he doesn't give a s*** about Jen, but I can tell by the way she looks at him that she still loves him. And that's why she's keepin it real and not stooping to his level.
