[upbeat music]
- Welcome, everyone,
to the "Basketball Wives" reunion.
I'm your girl, Tamar Braxton.
The ladies are in the building looking grown and sexy.
Please welcome the superstar basketball wives,
Jackie,
Jen,
Brooke,
Brandi,
Brittish,
and Angel.
And joining us virtually,
please welcome Duffey.
- Hi, guys.
- Duffey, we wish you could've joined us here in person.
How are you?
- I'm a little under the weather,
and I didn't want to get y'all sick,
but don't worry about me.
- Well, you look absolutely gorgeous,
and everybody else looks amazing.
[together] Thank you.
Y'all brought y'all best game today, okay?
Now, Jen, you're very boug, honey.
[laughter]
- Uh, yeah. - What's poppin' in your world,
mama? Did we do all right by your hotel?
That's what I wanna know.
- Yes, my hotel is fine.
It's on Park Avenue. Thank you very much.
- Okay. - She has a really new boo
that she don't wanna tell y'all about, but I see...
- Damn, Brittish. - It all on her timeline.
- Spill the tea 'cause I was gonna say
what happened to Jelani? How y'all doing?
Y'all not doin'? - [laughs]
- Bye, wig.
- Jelani is a great guy.
We're friends.
We're just not aligned in certain areas
of our life, and he's just not for me.
- Okay, so sis spilled the tea just now,
so tell us about this new boo.
- Oh, my God.
- How you meet him so fast?
Jesus on a mainline.
- I don't wanna jinx it, but he's amazing.
He treats me like the queen that I am.
- Well, I'm happy for you. - Yeah.
- All right, now we gonna mention you
over here, Miss Brittish.
I don't see nothing on these ankles.
- [laughs] [all squealing]
- Free at last. - Free.
- How do you feel? You feel lighter?
- I feel lighter on the ankles,
but every day I have to go back and forth
if I'ma go on a Kanye rant or I'ma stay Beyoncé
and not say nothing, so I don't know.
- [laughs] - The blogs have been posting
about me, about the prosecutor putting more charges on me.
- How do you feel about the new charges?
How is it affecting you?
- They haven't given me any new charges.
The prosecutor threatened to do it
because my lawyer hadn't responded to her
in the time that she wanted.
She didn't put any new charges on me.
- I know it's something you don't really wanna talk about--
this [bleep] come up on the blogs every other day--
but you took it with such grace,
and I just applaud you for that.
- Me too. I'm proud of you. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Yes, I'm proud of you.
Congratulations. This season started
with an eight-woman squad,
but now we're down to seven.
Obviously, there's one basketball wife
who is not here today, and that is Malaysia.
We let her know this reunion was taping,
but she showed no interest in participating.
Jackie's ponderosa was supposed to bring everyone together,
but instead it drove one of the wives
to walk away from the show.
Take a look.
- I have mixed emotions about Brooke's event
because half of these women don't like me,
but I definitely will give it a go to support Brooke.
What is the harm?
- Malaysia seems different than last time we saw her.
I felt like she was trying to be more open.
- She's always sayin', "I'm just goin' through a lot.
I'm just goin' through a lot."
I guess so. You're losing your house.
- I feel like if you are real
about [bleep] you are goin' through,
we would have compassion for you.
We all sit around and have vulnerable conversations,
and you sit there quiet as a church mouse.
- I haven't had no vulnerable situations with you.
- We all know your house was foreclosed on.
- No, bull[bleep] aside. - Okay, what?
- At this point, I won't be coming around
your group of friends anymore permanently.
- Oh, my [bleep]ing God.
- I enjoy doing "Basketball Wives."
It's been ten years,
but at a point you have to realize and say,
"I love a baby that don't love me back,"
so I have to walk away from this group
and this show.
- Bring out the Emmy.
And the award goes to...
Malaysia Laquisha Pargo.
- Ugh, there's so much to unpack here,
and I wanna hear from everyone.
Does anybody wish she wouldn't have quit?
- I wish that she would've never quit.
After the ponderosa, we actually had a conversation
because it was weighing, you know, on my heart
of, like, "What can I do to help you?"
- I wouldn't have let this group of women
run me away from my money. - No.
- Period, and if I am having financial issues
and this is one of my main sources of income,
I'm not gonna give it up
just because I'm in the hot seat
because we have all and will continue to be in the hot seat.
- Absolutely.
- These group of women
could've really understood her more
and stepped in to try to be the support that she needed.
- Do you all feel like she was in a position
to trust that, though?
Because she felt like--
I know when she confronted you about talking to her ex--
- Mm-hmm. - So I feel like she was
a bit apprehensive.
Do you-- - I didn't appreciate that.
- I've been havin' issues with Jannero.
Somebody told him that I said
that he wasn't paying child support.
[dramatic musical sting]
Was it you?
- How she implied that I have a vendetta
and I did that,
and she know damn well that that wasn't the case.
And she was playin' a lot,
and she was working them lenses really well.
- Mm.
Jackie, I wanna hear from you.
How did it make you feel when she walked away from the show?
- It hurt my feelings a lot.
I had been--a lot of things
was happening behind the scenes.
We were talking on the phone every day,
two, three times a day, and I kept trying to tell her,
"No one's out to get you."
But I had no idea what was going on
as far as with her house.
The whole thing just really
hurt my feelings a lot.
- So does anybody else feel like Jen was out of line
for saying that at the ponderosa?
- I feel like we're on reality television.
We're all sharing uncomfortable situations.
Did you think I wanna come on TV
talking about my husband's a cheater?
- If that's your reality,
then I think you need to be transparent about that.
- Do you regret airin' her out like that, though?
- No. - You don't?
Okay. - We're on a--
- I mean, I'm just-- - People have said
worst [bleep] about me. - Of course.
I was just asking, you know.
- No, I--what I regret is that happening to her...
- Yeah. - If it's true.
But do I regret me saying it? No.
If that's your reality and we're on a reality show,
let's keep it reality. - Everything is--okay.
- I don't think that we created a safe haven for her.
- Okay. - I've been
in that situation before, you know?
Because you don't wanna share things with people
that you know they just don't like you.
And I think that that was part of the problem.
I've seen her friendships with people,
and she looks like a good friend,
but unfortunately some of us didn't have that experience
with her, so we didn't really open up ourselves.
- I think with Malaysia
she wants you to only see the good things about her.
She wants you to think that she's walking on water,
and none of us are walkin' on water.
- Stop, stop with the cap.
It just wasn't a comfortable space
for Malaysia to share
that her home was in foreclosure--
even if it is in foreclosure.
I don't know if it was a rumor or not.
- Is it a rumor? Does anybody know?
Is it a rumor? - Nothing's confirmed.
It's not like I saw a document,
but I've heard the same thing that Jen has heard,
that she was losing the home.
- So does anyone talk to her outside of Jackie?
- Yes, I have. She actually reached out to me
to send condolences when my daughter passed.
- We talk every day. - Okay.
- Duffey, quit playin'. - Wait, what?
- She said she playin'. - I--[laughs]
- Just stop playin'.
- You know, we don't talk.
We don't hang out, despite what Brandi may think.
- [snorts] - Excuse me?
- Ooh.
- Baby, I swear to you, I don't care who you talk to.
I didn't care how good of a friend you were.
I didn't care.
You are coming at me or came at me
with what other people had a problem with you about.
So you have to take that... - I came at you
from your statement. - With other people.
- And you said "I would never be friends
with somebody that's friends"-- - Okay.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't want you to spill
too much 'cause we gonna get back into this.
- Can I just add one thing?
So I felt like at the ponderosa,
I really didn't even wanna get into it
because I felt like it somewhat was a safe place
for people to put out there what their issues were.
- I feel bad about saying "Say it,"
but I wanna make it clear I wasn't forcing anybody
to get into an argument.
- But you've been called a meddler
in the past. Do you feel like
that's what you do, though?
- No, I get paid to meddle.
- I mean, I get that.
- Jackie, I have to know,
why did it irk your soul
that these ladies called you bored?
Why did it hurt you like that?
- It wasn't the ladies, it was just me.
Everybody thinks that you are a little bored.
[tense music]
♪ ♪
- I'm bored?
- You back stirring [bleep] up.
- When Brittish told me that,
it just touched me the wrong way 'cause it's like,
"Look, I'm trying my best to keep us together."
- But Brittish, why'd you call her bored?
- Jackie be bored sometimes. - Oh, please.
- Oh, the shade is starting early.
[laughter]
- I got a call from Malaysia prior to the ponderosa
that these ladies were going to try to throw me under the bus.
And at first I got angry and my reaction--
- Wait, what? - You said--wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait. - Just--just--just--just--just.
See, this is what I'm talkin' about.
In the basketball world... - Mm-hmm.
- We don't do this to each other,
and I don't understand why they would do that,
so now I'm more determined than ever.
We gon' get to the bottom of all this
'cause this kiddie [bleep] I can't deal with.
- But that's-- - So--so wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait. - It was definitely my idea
to put on a--for the ponderosa
for us to be like Jackie...
- Over the years. - And dress like Jackie.
We had our fans, the fanny pack,
and we had, like, you know, outfits...
- Black. - That we were gonna do.
- So wait a minute, Duffey, I wanna ask.
Duffey, what was the plan so everybody's clear?
- Ooh, I'm hot. Ooh.
- Okay, it was more of to pay homage to Jackie
because I knew she was upset that she heard
that we were saying she was bored.
- Right. - So it was more of
to pay homage to Jackie,
not to make fun of Jackie. - No.
- So you came in-- - That never showed.
- So you came into the ponder-- - She came in with security
pulling out her chairs, and she was on one.
- Duffey, do you think these ponderosas are effective?
- I don't think that one was effective.
I hope to go to more Jackie Christie ponderosas
in the future, though.
- Oh, there'll be many more. Standby.
- Nothing was accomplished.
Malaysia left the show.
We didn't get to hash nothing out.
- I don't think y'all realize something.
- What? - We havin' a ponderosa
right now. - Yes, we are.
- Thank you, Jackie. I'm enjoying myself.
All right, everybody, there's still a lot more to unpack.
More "Basketball Wives" reunion next.
- Your actions show, Brandi...
- No. - That you also had a problem--
- My actions was you're getting on my [bleep] nerves.
That's what my actions were.
- And I do have receipts for that.
- She's outta control at this point,
out of control.
[upbeat percussive music]
- Welcome back to the "Basketball Wives" reunion.
It's been a hot minute since the last reunion,
and the fans have a lot of questions.
Let's get to a few now.
Okay, Summer has a question for Brandi.
"You made it crystal clear that you wanted Jason
and Jason Jr. in Los Angeles."
- I talked to the girls.
I was just telling the ladies how I want you and baby Jason
here to support my dream.
I think I need y'all here 90% of the time.
- "What is the update?"
- Mm.
So we will be in California
because my son has a situation
that has to be addressed and handled right away
or it can cause fatal or cardiac arrest.
He's having heart surgery next week.
And we're gonna be doing a lot of recovering in California.
- I'm so sorry to hear that. - So I hate
that we're moving here under those circumstances,
but...
we will be in Cali a lot more.
- Well, everything isn't good, but it works together
for the good. You have to know that.
- Just keep my baby in y'all's prayers.
- Good vibes and all the wonderful light.
All right, y'all, let's lighten the mood a little bit.
Now Tanya wants to know, Miss Jackie...
- Mm-hmm. - How's ghost doing
with his humping issue? - Oh...
- Ghost is so cute. - My God.
- Don't jump up and no humping.
We gotta get him to cool off of that.
- Ghost is doin' amazing.
He humps a little bit now,
but it's on other dogs... - Okay.
- Instead of humans.
But he's awesome. - I'm scared of Ghost.
He too big for me. - [laughs]
- Ooh, Ghost be a man in my future, amen.
[laughter]
Okay, movin' on.
After nearly 20 years of friendship,
Brandi and Duffey had a communication breakdown.
But when Duffey said that she owed Brandi
no loyalty,
the message was received loud and clear.
Take a look.
- Would I be friends with your enemy?
Absolutely not. - So Malaysia was your enemy?
How can you say that when you just was talking to her?
- Maybe "enemy" is a strong word.
- You're trying to make me seem like a fake friend
and one that I am not.
- I saw that Duffey posted
on social media yesterday
Malaysia working out in her-- - Oh, I saw that.
- I'm not feelin' it.
Why would you post the bitch on Instagram?
- She ain't did nothing to me.
- That just means your loyalty don't mean nothing.
That's all that mean.
- My loyalty is not in question here.
- But you guys are still friends.
- It's not about Brandi
and us not bein' friends,
so I don't owe no loyalty to Brandi.
- She was like, "I don't owe Brandi no loyalty."
- Whew. What the [bleep]?
She don't owe no what to me?
- I didn't care about the reposts.
That's nothing to me, but the loyalty comment
is everything to me.
That's the [bleep] that I don't [bleep] with.
- I would like to tell you that the comment I made
to Brittish doesn't depict on how I feel about you
and my loyalty to you, and I apologize.
- I will forgive you, but I won't forget what you said.
- Aww.
- Duffey, how is your friendship now?
- Finding out today
that baby Jason is having surgery
and I'm the last one to find out...
has been extremely hurtful.
I think it's been the most hurtful thing
of this entire experience.
- My obligation is not to hurry up and call Duffey
about anything pertaining to my child.
- Watching this show, you can see
I--I--I didn't do anything to Brandi.
The way I was treated, it's almost like
I'm just some girl from the street.
- Brandi, what has you so upset?
- The whole time that I've actually watched the show,
she's like, "I called her a fake friend."
I did not. "I talked about Iman."
I did not about Iman.
"I am mad about Malaysia." I am not.
She was not listening to me.
- You made numerous comments that showed
that you felt a negative way towards me.
You brought up not only my man, but also therapy.
It was very insensitive.
It was wrong.
I have supported for the last 19 years.
- Really? - I have showed you loyalty.
- Really? - You showed me no loyalty.
- You have not been loyal to me,
and so when you made that comment,
you solidified everything that I felt
and what I've heard, so you can't go...
- Girl, well, if you-- - And hold yourself--don't.
First of all, don't keep "girl"-ing me.
- I'm sorry. I'm confused because in Mexico
where we all left off,
it seemed like y'all was in a good place.
- I love you more.
[snorts] - Aah! [laughs]
- I have not-- - How did we get back here?
What has aired, it doesn't look as bad,
but what was came back to me,
she went into explanation
of why she didn't owe me no loyalty.
I don't even see her that much.
I don't even hang out with her that much.
I owe you, Brittish, more loyalty
with Brandi and all this other stuff,
but y'all just see these little clips,
and it just make me just look crazy.
- Duffey did say that.
She said, "Brittish, me and Brandi
"have known each other for a very long time,
but we are not that close"... - Oh.
- "I do not talk to her every day.
"I do not see her all the time.
"I talk to you more than I talk to Brandi,
"so if that's the case, I owe you more loyalty
than I owe her." Something that we really all
didn't know is we all thought that Duffey and Brandi
were super close. - That's what I'm sitting here
trying to figure it out 'cause everybody keeps saying,
"Oh, I got love for you.
I got love for you. We friends. We cool."
And this don't feel like y'all friends.
- Now the reason why I made the loyalty comment
is 'cause loyalty is showing a strong support.
I felt like I wasn't support from my "sister."
- Stop using the "sister" word
when it holds convenient for you.
Like, stop bein' fake on this show.
You say you don't owe me no loyalty.
[bleep] son at my house.
- Your actions show, Brandi... - No.
- That you also had a problem--
- My actions was you're getting
on my [bleep] nerves.
That's what my actions were.
I don't care who you're friends with.
What y'all don't get to see... - Okay.
- Is Brittish asked me a question
about "Would I be friends with Duffey's enemy?"
- Yes. - And I said,
"No, I wouldn't do it,
but I don't care that she does it."
And I quickly changed the word "enemy"
because I don't think that Malaysia is a enemy to me,
and what I felt that Duffey did is try to twist
and make it about a situation to try...
- [sighs] - To make me look bad...
- Oh, my God. - And that is not
what I was doing.
[sighs]
Baby girl, you've done a lot for these cameras
and for you to put that on me,
I felt like she kept trying to play with me and play on me,
and I don't appreciate that. - Oh, my God.
I don't even care anymore.
We can agree to disagree.
- Stop comin' for me on this platform.
Hold that accountable and--
- How am I coming for you, Brandi?
You are coming for yourself.
I haven't done nothing to you. - No, I'm coming for you.
- You keep attacking me. - I'm not--
- You keep attacking me. - The attacking,
attacking, attacking. - You keep attacking me.
- Hold yourself accountable for everything.
- [sighs] - Hold on.
I wanna get everybody else involved.
Like, what do y'all think the core issue is
between the two of them?
- I think it's the loyalty.
Once you tell me
that you don't owe me any loyalty,
everything else is off the table.
- I think their friendship has expired...
Or I don't know.
- All right, well, time will tell, everybody.
Coming up, is Brooke a free agent,
or is she giving her marriage a second chance?
We'll get the answers next.
Where does the relationship stand--
- Well, my final decision--
- What? I ain't even know this.
- Oh, my God. [laughs]
[upbeat percussive music]
- And we're back. I'm your girl, Tamar Braxton,
chatting with the basketball wives.
Now we've got another fan question for the ladies.
Jada wants to know, "Angel, we saw you juggle career
"and motherhood all season.
"Are you still going to the support group?
Was that helpful for you?"
- Well, I found this support group.
- Mm-hmm. - Every woman that you're gonna
meet has been through postpartum in here
or are still going through it. - Okay.
I feel good. I'm back to--to me,
and I'm ready to take over the world.
- Yes. - Good for you.
- That's amazing. - Thanks, ladies. [laughs]
- Do you have any advice for any other women
who's going through the same thing?
- So I do think that, you know,
if you are experiencing these things,
tell someone about it and get the help that you need,
whether it's with a doctor or therapy
because, you know, if we keep things bottled in too long,
then we're just gonna explode.
- A lot of people don't talk about the other side
of coming back. You eventually come back.
Good for you. - Yes, you do. You do.
- I wanna dive into something else.
After uncovering her husband's infidelity,
Brooke was calling divorce attorneys
and removing tattoos.
But did Mexico change her mind?
Take a look.
- [sighs]
When I found out that my husband was cheating,
I felt devastated,
but I'm just taking it day by day.
- So how have you been, Brooke?
- Taking care of things for my divorce, so--
- Oh, you're getting a divorce?
- It's just time to move forward.
I'm gonna remove my soon-to-be ex-husband's initials
off my ring finger
and my married name off my chest.
[laser humming]
Ooh, a little spicy.
You know, I told you
that I definitely want a divorce.
[tense music]
- I don't agree with that.
I don't think we should. I believe that
if we take the right steps now,
we could get back to a great place.
- I haven't changed my mind about divorcing my husband,
but I have been spending a lot of time with him.
Once he comes and we have a good time
and then he leaves, I'm reminded...
- Mm-hmm. - Of this is what we were,
and now this is what we are.
- Now I know you took a beat.
Are you havin' a change of heart?
- I don't know that I'm having a change of heart...
- Yeah, she is. - But--
- That man is trying and he is trying.
[knock at door]
- One second.
[light music]
What are you doin' here?
- Surprise.
- I definitely did not think that this man
would follow me all the way to Mexico.
I feel like it's love here,
and maybe we'll be able
to rekindle something
from this point.
Woof. - Aww.
[both laugh]
- Y'all was really cuddled up in Mexico,
and it seemed like y'all was working things out.
Like, where does the relationship stand today?
- Whew.
So when we spend time together, it's amazing, you know?
It doesn't negate his infidelity.
But I was open and willing to say "Okay, let's see,
you know, where this can go if we're able to fix it."
And my daughter passed away,
and he has definitely been amazing backbone,
him and his family.
I do love him, but, you know,
at the end of the day, my final decision...
um, was to continue with my divorce.
- Oh. - Whoa.
- What?
- So my divorce papers are filed,
my wedding ring goes in the box,
and my ring says "[bleep] off."
- Okay. - Oh, okay.
- Wow. - I ain't even know this.
- I know. - Did you know?
- I didn't know. - No, I didn't share it
with anyone. - [laughs]
- I can feel your energies,
like, on my back. You're like, "Oh, my God!"
- We don't know what to say.
My only thing is I told Brooke is,
dating is real ghetto, so-- - I'm not worried about dating.
It's not about the dating. - I was still hoping
that it was gonna work, and I knew that he,
you know, from her and talking to him
at that moment, that he was really trying.
I'm really happy for you.
You are taking responsibility to take care of you.
Brooke was on the gas, you know...
- Yes, she's like, "I'm filin' the papers."
- And I was like, "Slow down.
Feel this moment."
I believe that she's making
the right decision for her.
- Jackie, what do you have to say about this?
- I'm shocked.
I really like him a lot,
but I understand where Brooke's coming from.
She has to do what's best for her.
- I know that everything happens for a reason,
and I know that, you know,
my main focus is to turn my pain into power.
I'm not ready to jump into a new relationship.
You know, I don't know if I want to date women,
men, both. I don't know.
- Now you don't know if you wanna date women.
Y'all said that I was crazy.
- I'm sayin' I might wanna have a relationship
with a woman and a man. I don't know.
- Told you, yeah. - You figurin' it out.
- I'm figuring it out, but as of right now,
he is my comfort zone,
and we are there for each other
as friends and as family.
And if, you know, we might... - I understand exactly
what you talking-- - Hit it a couple times,
but you know what I'm saying? Like...
- Yes, my cousin's baby daddy is one of the best things
that ever happened to me. - You feel me?
[laughter]
- Listen.
I love the energy.
My thing for you is, Brooke,
I just want you to be happy. - Yeah.
- Me too. - Thank you.
- What that means to you
only you know... - Exactly.
- But you have handled it so well.
- I think the final consensus
is that we are all proud of you.
- Thank you.
- On that note, we'll take a break.
There's still a lot more to unpack.
More "Basketball Wives" reunion next.
- If I hurt your feelings, I apologize.
- [bleep] your apology 'cause it ain't real.
- Shut the [bleep] up.
And if it wasn't for me
nobody would be sitting on this couch.
- Ooh. - [mouthing words]

- Welcome back to the "Basketball Wives" reunion.
The rift between Jackie and Jen grew all season long, y'all.
Can they find a way to move forward,
or is Jen trying to cease and desist
their friendship? Take a look.
- I think Jennifer has a quiet competition going with me.
A lot that Jennifer does isn't seen by everyone,
and so my way of dealing with her sometimes is
to be a little bit more harsh.
[all cheering]
Move, move!
Move! - What are you doing, Jackie?
Stop trying to steal the spotlight from Jen.
- Do you remember the phone call that we had
after you went with me to my open house?
What did you say to me?
- What'd I say? - "I don't know
"why you would do a open house like that.
"They give the white girls
on "Selling Sunset" way better open houses than that."
- Okay, so-- - That hurt.
You don't come here talking about nobody hatin' on you.
- Okay, first of all-- - I'm at my mother[bleep]
husband's job. - Who are you pointing at?
- I'm yellin' at you. - Who are you pointing at?
- Did she help you with the production
of your documentary?
- No. - Okay.
- What? - Why are you tellin'
these ladies that you're a producer
on my show? - I didn't never say I was
no [bleep] producer. That's a goddamn lie.
- Okay, so stop taking credit for my [bleep]!
- You lie. - I lied about what,
my [bleep] car being stolen, bitch?
- You [bleep] lied about [indistinct]
and [bleep], bitch. - Okay.
I do not want people making false statements,
and I have had my attorney
draw up a cease and desist.
[tense music]
- Here you go.
♪ ♪
- I don't deal with stupidity.
- This has gone too far.
I don't think there's any room to repair their relationship.
- I'm gonna go ahead and bow out right now
before I do something
that we will not come back from.
Bitch, I'll see you in LA.
- [exhales] Whoa.
There's so much to unpack here.
Now have you guys spoken since you all have finished filming?
- No.
- My first reaction is, like,
"Bitch, I don't need to lie on you.
Who are you? We not even in the same tax [bleep] bracket.
But at the end of the day, she's on the show
that I've been on for ten years.
- And if that means me and her paths have to cross,
that's what it means.
It's a sisterhood, and it's something that we respect.
- Jennifer, what do you think the breakdown
in y'all friendship was, 'cause it sounds like
y'all was pretty close?
- I mean, honestly,
I have no idea.
I feel like it started at the fashion show?
- Yeah, but you talked about her real estate listing first.
- That was--first of all, that was a private conversation
that I had with her that was not on camera.
And my thing is,
if we're friends, we should be able
to have a real conversation.
- It's just hurtful. It's like, "Damn,
who can you trust nowadays?
If you can't trust that sit
and call your phone and that you and her talk
and you think you on the same page
with this person, you think you in the same world
with that person-- I actually really liked her.
My real estate is important to me,
and she asked me why did I want to do real estate,
and I said to help our people
get out of the oppression that they're in.
And for her to say, "Why would they, you know, do this?"
or "Why would you do this?" and "That house was bull[bleep]"
and all that, it hurt my feelings,
so I'll be honest.
When I came to the fashion event
the next day, I felt like I always support y'all.
I support what you're doing.
I was [bleep] with her.
That was intentionally just to show her
how it feels for someone to be considered your friend
but ain't supporting you in something you're doing.
- But you called your friend a giraffe and a donkey, though.
- Yeah, I did. - Exactly.
- But Angel, do you feel like, being a fashion designer,
do you feel like she crossed the line?
- Well, yeah, I would be upset as a fashion designer
because I'd want every-- all eyes on the model
walking down the runway.
I definitely would've been mad.
- I'm gonna say this.
If I hurt your feelings about
the "Selling Sunset" comment, I apologize.
However, if you call us friends
and we were having a private conversation,
why didn't you say it then?
- A lot of people had been telling me--
and I'm just gonna be straight-up with you--
"Jackie, you got a big heart.
"You always try to love everybody.
Jennifer's not to be trusted."
I chose to be your friend anyway, Jennifer,
regardless of people telling me
that known you longer than I.
- Why you didn't tell me when I hurt...
- Because I was upset. - Your feelings in that moment?
That's all I wanna know. - I was upset.
- Okay, that's fine. - Maybe me and you could've
had the conversation, but listen.
We're shooting a show, I was dealing with my emotions,
I got Malaysia over here mad about the [bleep]
y'all is all going through, I'm trying to help her.
I'm trying to be the bridge to bring all of y'all together.
I know who I am.
- Can I please--um, because my heart is pounding
100 miles a minute right now listening to this
because you sit here and you say, you know,
how great of a friend you've been to people, but...
- Mm-hmm. - I really feel like
you're not.
- Okay. - And the reason why
is because when my daughter passed away,
you didn't even send one flower, you didn't--
you've been in LA. You didn't knock on my door
to give me a huge or just to sit next to me quietly.
[dramatic musical sting]
You showed absolutely no support.
- First of all, I didn't know what to say,
and I am so sorry. - Most people don't.
- Well, Jackie, tell her why. What happened?
- It wasn't that I didn't show support.
I called you, and I talked to-- is that Tyler Renee?
Is that your friend or your sister?
- You didn't show me support. - I'm glad we're having
this conversation because I'll be honest with you.
I knew that it would be a touchy situation
when I saw you again.
It hurt my heart to hear about your daughter.
I sat and I cried for hours.
I have two daughters.
I didn't call you, but it hurt my heart
that this happened to you.
You had been through [bleep] with your [bleep] husband.
I sat in your house and I talked to you for hours,
so don't sit here telling me "Oh, I'm not a friend"...
- First of all. - 'Cause that's a lie.
- What me and my husband went through...
- I am sorry. - Had nothing to do with
the death of my daughter. - I know.
- No comparison whatsoever. - But Brooke,
I didn't know what to say. - Okay.
You don't have to say much. - I didn't know.
- Everybody was going through emotions.
- I know. - Brandi showed up,
Duffey showed up, Brittish showed up,
production showed up. - I showed up.
- Angel designed my baby's dress.
- I think we all expected more from you, though.
- With your saying that you're the leader of this group.
- I appreciate that. - And you take great pride
of saying that... - Thank you.
- And expressing that,
I think she just expected a little bit more from you.
- A lot more. - Lemme say something.
I wanted to give you the space to deal with the grieving.
I've never lost a child, Brooke.
- I grieve 24 hours seven days a week,
so what space do you think that I need?
- How am I supposed to know?
You just lost a child.
You wouldn't have known what to do if it had
have been one of ours. - Yes, I would have!
- Okay, well, you'd have did it your way.
[both arguing]
- Hush, Brittish, 'cause I gotta be able
to make her understand this.
- I--I don't understand it... - Well, then if you don't...
- And I'm not gonna understand it.
- I'ma leave it like this. - I don't give a [bleep]
about you raising your [bleep] voice.
- Okay, ladies. - I don't give a [bleep]
about-- - Period.
- Don't put your [bleep] hand in my face.
- Jackie, Jackie. - [bleep] your apology
'cause it ain't real. How you gonna apologize...
- Okay, hold on-- - But you didn't know what
to say then? - Hold on.
Hold on. - I don't give a [bleep].
What? What? - No, come on.
- I'm sitting right here. - She has to move, yeah.
- Girl. - I'm not [bleep] movin'.
- No, come on. - This wasn't even something
that I planned on addressin', but me sittin' here
listening to your... - Can we take a break?
- Bull[bleep]-ass story about friendship with Jen.
It's some [bleep] bull[bleep]. - I really want
to take a break. - Like I said,
I apologize, Brooke. I'm sorry you feel that way--
- [bleep] your apology. - Brandi, you should go over
on your side. - No.
This is for your safety, please.
- Girl, for whose safety? - Stop, stop, stop.
- Yours. - No, it ain't for mine.
- No for real, for real. - It ain't for mine. Get up.
Brandi, I ain't worried about-- - Can we go to break?
- Yeah, no, for real. Can we go to break?
- We're gonna go to break, but I just wanna hear this
real fast because I think it's important.
I think it's pretty important for her to verbalize to...
- I don't too. - Jackie. One mine, Jackie.
I need you to be quiet. - Okay.
- Okay, so where do we go from here?
- I don't know. - 'Cause we can't do anything
about the past.
- It just kind of made me take steps back
because it just left me feeling like
you're not the person, a friend on the outside,
that I thought that you were.
- If you feel
that this platform with me
isn't something you wanna be a part of,
then maybe it ain't the place for you.
- Oh.
- If it wasn't the platform for me, then I would exit.
What are you talkin' about? - I think it's time
for everybody to go get some water
and take a break. - I agree.
- Brooke, just focus-- - We'll be right back.
- Just focus on-- - I do too.
- Emotions are very heavy.
- And it's just getting started.
[tense music]
- Jackie, I don't think you taking this as--
- Mm-mm. - That wasn't--
- I'm not--I'm not-- I don't take that,
and I am apologetic.
[indistinct chatter]
- What the [bleep]?
[dramatic music]
Not a [bleep] tear.
- That's why I kept-- you see what I was doing?
Why I kept looking like I was waiting for a tear to fall.
- And then she still tryna puff her chest out
and then you gonna say "If you feel like
this ain't the platform for you," bitch,
you don't [bleep]--like, what are you talking about?
- When you don't have anything else to be mad about
or talk about, you make up [bleep],
so it's just another waste of time to me.
You want a flower?
I'll send you a whole bouquet of flowers.
I can't bring your daughter back.
I can't bring back the fact that I didn't do
what you wanted me to do.
I mean, you shouldn't wanna bring your daughter
into a situation like this.
If I lost my child I probably wouldn't even be here.
- I don't understand why Jackie can never take accountability.
Doing all this explaining and fake tears,
you're reaching and you're making it worse.
- So how are you feeling?
- I--literally, my heart felt like
it was gonna jump out of my [bleep] chest
and I'm still trembling.
- I was so shocked, 'cause I'm like,
"Is this really happening?"
Like, I was so shocked I cannot even fathom
the fact that Jackie wouldn't even call you or do something
or say something or send a prayer.
- You can't tell Jen that she's not a real friend to you
and she's not a part of the sisterhood
and all this [bleep] that you're saying,
because you are the epitome of everything
that you're trying to say that she is.
You're not the [bleep] matriarch of this group.
You're not the [bleep] leader,
'cause you don't know how to lead.
- I'm not gonna sit and feel no type of way
other than the fact it's really disappointing,
but I'ma leave it where it's at
and we gonna deal with it however we deal with it.
I don't play games like that. - [laughs]
- Like, this is getting stupider and stupider to me.
- It's about you respecting people.
And you don't respect me.
- Welcome back.
Now we needed a moment to calm things down.
Everybody's good now?
- Fantastic. - Okay, good.
Let's bring it back to Jackie and Jen.
Jen, Jackie invited everyone to Sacramento
for a fun girls' weekend,
but you delivered the quote of the season.
- Jackie, I have a serious question for you.
- What?
- Do I look like a deluxe bitch to you?
No, I'm definitely not deluxe. - Oh.
- Yeah. - Okay.
- I didn't pick no rooms, first of all.
I just got the keys and gave 'em to everybody,
and she ended up with a small room.
- Why you roll your eyes? You don't believe that?
- No, I don't. - Wow.
- You did pick the room, like, just be real about it.
Because I'm a OG around here,
and you gonna respect my goddamn name.
You didn't start "Basketball Wives."
- Oh.
- Like, let's keep it 100.
And if it wasn't for me, nobody would be sitting on this couch.
- Oh! - Oh.
- Because I started "Miami." - Okay. "Miami." All right.
- And then "LA" came. - That's true.
- It's always she trying to son me.
You can't son me.
- I'm not here for this bull[bleep],
so I'm not gonna keep going back and forth with it.
It's a room, for God sakes.
- It's not about a room. I travel the world.
I could buy my own room anywhere in the goddamn world.
It's about you respecting people,
and you don't respect me.
You sat up here, you tried to say,
"Oh, we not in the same tax bracket."
No, we're not in the same tax bracket.
You're absolutely right.
You have a [bleep] husband. I am a single woman.
And you return [bleep] to Neiman Marcus.
[dramatic musical sting] - The day I return what?
- Jen, how you be knowing about everybody?
- You have a 70% return rate,
and I do have receipts for that.
Because I have your profile at Neiman.
- She's outta control at this point.
- Do we need Sam to come out with the receipts?
- Oh, he's got receipts right there.
♪ Oh, y'all petty ♪ - And even if I did return it--
- Lord, God, the man of God-- - [laughing]
Not Jackie Christie purchase history.
- [gasps] - Hilarious.
- I know you didn't return--
- I'm actually a preferred shopper at all the stores.
- Oh, really? 'Cause they're about to ban you.
So everything in the red, you returned.
The green you keep.
- How you be finding out all of this stuff, Jennifer?
- Yeah, Jen. - I'm a shopper.
- Jennifer, have you ever
bought something and it didn't work
and you didn't want it or you didn't like it?
- I actually didn't wear it on the show and then return it.
- Even if I-- - Okay, let's clear it up.
Jackie, do you return clothes? - Uh, no.
What I'll do is if I have boughten something
and I didn't like it, I return it.
I'm sure every woman on this couch has.
- Jen, what does this prove, though?
- She always trying to talk about somebody's fashion...
- I wish I had all that [bleep].
- And tryna belittle somebody, so let's go.
- Maybe they let her borrow it.
- That's got nothing to do with being in the same tax bracket.
- The point she's making is that she wants to be petty
'cause she feels like you're being petty.
- Yeah, but I'm not being petty with her.
I was acting weird with her
at the fashion show.
That was it. - Okay.
Well, let's talk about the cease and desist
that I mentioned before.
Like, do you feel like you took it to a whole new level?
- No, I don't feel like I took it to a whole new level
because guess what.
This is something that I was really going through.
I have confided in you about this whole situation,
and so because you're upset for whatever reason,
you're gonna make these false statements?
No. Shut the [bleep] up,
don't talk about my case, and that's it.
- I could care less about Jennifer's project.
That was something that I felt she was pushing forward
as a ploy to get more attention for it.
I get it. We're on reality TV...
- [scoffing] What? - You make a big-ass fuss
about it, people gon' pay attention.
I don't know what that little piece of paper was
that she didn't hand me.
Brooke said, "You know what? I'll just do it,"
and handed it to me.
And I put it on the table, so I never read it.
I don't know what the hell it is.
I don't play games like that.
Like, this is getting stupider and stupider to me.
- So you wasted a good, delicious champagne.
- [chuckles]
- So where are we now with y'all friendship?
Is this no room for reconciliation?
- I mean, I have her blocked on my phone, so.
- I'm sorry if I'm a shining, bright light sometimes.
I just feel like it's a misunderstanding
sometimes with the group of the ladies.
- I don't feel like it's a misunderstanding.
I feel like each and every one of us
are able to stand alone on our own.
That's why we're here sitting on this stage.
- For sure. - No light shines
brighter than the other.
I feel like it's equal, you know, across the board
because we're all here because we do know how
to do a great job, and if we didn't,
we wouldn't be sitting on this stage today.
- Hence, misunderstanding.
- Nobody chooses anything that I do.
I have my own voice and I speak it properly.
- Choosing to be quiet... - That's your choice.
- And that's what I'm gonna do. - Well, then do that.
- So I'ma do that. - 'Cause you talkin' a lot.
- I'ma do that. - Great.
- [softly] Okay.
Things are getting a little heated, so we'll be right back.
- Welcome back to the "Basketball Wives" reunion.
Before the buzzer sounds,
I wanna give everyone one last chance to say their piece.
Is there anything that didn't get said tonight
that anyone wants to address?
Jackie?
Jen?
Anybody?
- I don't know. I'm just very grateful
for these relationships and friendships
that, you know, are just building stronger
and stronger every day and I'm looking forward to,
you know, what's next.
- I really love this group of women,
and they really took me in like a sister.
- Definitely. - I really appreciate
all of you for that.
I just wanted to say that.
- We respect you, Angel. - Yes.
- Yeah, definitely.
- I would like to say something.
- Okay. What's going on, Duff?
- Brandi, I love you, I've known you for 19 years,
I have respect for you and everyone in your family.
I hate that things got so ugly
with these tough conversations.
I'm here to support you any way I can.
I do want to be there for you and I love baby Jason.
And I'm sorry that y'all had to go through that.
- I receive that. And I love you so much too.
And you know it. - I love you.
- And I apologize for any kind of way that I've hurt you,
and I've always thought so big of you.
- So beautiful. Ooh, I'm so glad to see that.
- Are you crying, girl? - [laughs]
- I can't believe she apologized.
It's gonna make me cry. [laughter]
- Listen. The fights were explosive,
but seeing y'all come together
and have such an amazing time together,
for me, was everything.
That's what a real sisterhood is really, truly all about.
- Yes. - How about everybody
have a toast? both: Yes.
- To an amazing season. - Yes, we did.
- That's game over for the reunion.
Thank you to the beautiful basketball wives
for coming though tonight and everyone at home for watching.
Until next time, I'm your girl, Tamar Braxton.
Cheers! all: Yes.
- Clink, clink, clink, clink. [laughter]
- You gotta look in the eye. - Yes.
- It's tasty!
