[upbeat music]
Happy reunion day!
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
So, how are you feeling about today?
Huh?
Today's gonna be a great day.
I'm ready to see what shade these bitches is throwin' me
so I can throw the whole tree.
Hm. Oh, Laura.
Hey, Mama.
[Jackie] Oh, no.
[Jackie] I will for sure, and you get better, Mama.
Buh-bye.
It's been so much stuff goin' on between Jen and Christian
and his restitution.
I mean, I know what it feels like to go viral with your man.
But, like, as my, as that bein' my friend, like,
I am a little worried for her.
Listen, I am in full bride and wedding mode.
-I cannot be bothered. -Yes, in Paris.
I got y'all.
Y'all finna get the real tea. Okay?
I'm here to help us be together, galvanize us as a sisterhood.
Jackie just try to make it seem like
everybody always against her,
but it's like, Jackie be talkin' about everybody.
[Woman] What?
The, what is it, bestiality? What is it?
[Evelyn] If that was the case, I would have a horse at home.
[Female MUA] Oh my God!
My blood is boiling.
[Nina] Why throw this in another woman's face?
'Cause I don't like Jason.
You need to get a divorce.
'Cause we not gon' put my husband in it.
-[Brandi] Hey, how are you...? -'Cause that's some bull[bleep].
-Get your hands off me. -[indistinct]
[Jackie] Don't be, Brandi.
I know that there have been some cast members
who may not have directly addressed it with you,
but do have their own concerns.
And I do want you to take a listen
to some audio from this season.
Wow.
[dramatic music]
[upbeat music]
Good evening, and thank you for joining me for
the Basketball Wives LA Reunion.
I'm your host, Nina Parker,
and tonight is gonna be a full-court press
as the women unpack this drama-filled season.
We wanna know where they can go from here.
So, make sure that you're joining us by using the hashtag
#basketballwives.
We're gonna have a special guest visiting a little later.
But for now, I gotta say, hello, beautiful ladies.
[All] Hi!
[Nina] Everybody looks beautiful.
So, I gotta start with you, Evelyn.
-Alright, it's good to see you. -Why me?
-Hi. -[Nina] We're both in fashion.
-Yes! -[Nina] I need to know where
I can get a maxi dress.
Girl, SG by Evelyn Lozada.
[Nina] Okay!
Brandi, can I just say, every scene I watched,
your hair was laid.
Thank you!
-It is, it really is. -Yes.
[Nina] I mean, you went hiking, y'all was in Mexico.
Not a hair is out of place.
Alright, Brooke, the tattoos this season...
-Yes. -[Nina] Was the accessory.
That was the extra that
-[indistinct]. Yes.
[Nina] Especially the tribute you made
-to beautiful Kayla. -[Brooke] Thank you.
-Jac'eil. -Hey.
-[Nina] You look beautiful. -Thank you so much.
Or should I say Mrs. Howard?
That sounds so much better.
-Jennifer. -Hi.
[Nina] The wedding is comin' up.
-Yes. -[Nina] Alright.
-Yes, yes, yes. -So, how are you feelin'?
Are you gettin' nervous?
'Cause I'm ready to see these five dresses.
Uh, I'm gettin' a little anxious, but I'm excited.
Now, Jackie, I heard that you got a talk show.
I got competition.
[Jackie] Listen, you already know.
-[Nina] Listen, listen... -Everybody know
you are Miss Talk, honey.
Well, thank, thank you very much.
Alright, well, it sounds like everybody is doing well.
I love the updates. Let's move on.
Throughout all of the years on the show,
the ladies have had some memorable lines;
some good, some a little spicy.
So, we're gonna start with a game called...
Now, in this game,
you will be given cutouts of each of your faces.
Then I'm gonna read a quote,
and you have to cover your face with the face of the person
you think said it.
Does that make sense?
-Yes. -Mm-hm.
[Nina] So, we're gonna start with
the first quote.
"I own nine Rolexes.
It doesn't matter, I'm a big boss."
So, put your faces up.
"I'm a big boss."
Of course, that was said by none other than Jackie Christie.
That's when your diamond fell out.
[Jackie] Okay, my real diamond, y'all.
I own nine Rolexes, real ones.
Your diamond fell out your ring.
It doesn't matter.
Hm.
I'm a big boss.
[Nina] Alright, let's move on to the next one.
-"I got kids..." -I already know.
-[Nina] "I got A+ credit..." -I do.
"I got a wet..." Boop, boop, boop!
I do.
-I hope I did it justice. -You did it justice, girl.
Alright, the correct answer is Evelyn.
I got kids, I got A+ credit, I got a wet mother[bleep] pussy.
[Woman] Ooh!
[Nina] Alright, the next quote is,
"Someone needs to put a number on this bitch
and let her go race around the track,
because she's acting like a animal."
-That sounds like Jen. -Yeah.
[Jackie] That's definitely Jennifer.
-That is definitely Jennifer. -You said that?
-[Nina] You guys got it up? -Bitch, I was talkin' about you.
Okay.
And the answer is Jennifer.
Someone needs to put a number on this bitch
and let her go race around the track,
because she's actin' like an animal.
-I don't remember. -Look at us now.
Oh, gosh.
Y'all ready? This is the final quote.
Oh, Lord.
It's new, but it's newly iconic.
"I'll beat your ass while I finish this taco."
We already know who that is.
That... That is Brooke Bailey.
-You bitch. -[Jackie] This ain't nothin...
[bleep] you, bitch. And do somethin'!
I'll beat your ass while I finish this [bleep] taco,
-bitch! -[bleep] you, hoe.
[Nina] You guys did pretty well.
So, even though y'all have your ups and downs,
you know each other very well.
This season, Evelyn Lozada took her passion
for digging up the facts to the next level
by trying to make private investigating a career.
I have this desire to pursue bein' a private investigator.
So, what does that look like as far as, like, training?
California, you have to have 6,000 hours.
[Evelyn] One person specifically,
she's just not to be trusted.
[Man] I'd like you to send me everything that you found,
'cause I gotta search my database.
She's got 15 total names.
[Evelyn] Jackie Marie Wilson was arrested for prostitution
for October 20th, '87.
It looks like she was convicted.
Holy [bleep].
Are you getting your hours?
-I am getting my hours. -[Nina] Really?
Yeah, I would love to permanently become
a private detective.
I'm glad that you're clearing it up,
because there were a lot of comments online
that felt that this PI thing was just a ruse
so that you could look into Jackie's background.
No, it's really somethin' that I've always wanted to do.
[Nina] When you first get on the keyboard,
what did you think you'd find?
When I saw the arrest record
and that she was arrested for prostitution...
And I'm not judging anybody.
You know, I was just surprised and shocked
as to what I found.
I'm really glad we're gettin' right into this.
-[Nina] Yeah, yeah. -Because my blood is boiling.
Because for one,
I want all these ladies to know I'm not a prostitute.
I've never prostituted in my life.
-Say Bible. -Um, I don't know, ever...
-Say Bible. -And...
-She's gonna say Bible, girl. -[Jackie] On, on, on God.
[Evelyn] Brandi, what you think?
What do you think a ponderosa is?
That's when pimps get they hoes together...
It is?
She ain't lyin'.
[Brandi] You always givin' signs.
Not of a prostitute, like me callin' you...
-But I know the life. -[Brandi] Yeah.
[Nina] But you do deny
-that that is not you? -[Jackie] I definitely,
and I wanna say this.
I've done a lot of things in my life as far as fighting
and as far as trying to survive.
And I said some mean things about Evelyn...
-And I shouldn't have. -Like that I'm into bestiality?
That, you said that was...
You know what, worse than that.
I've gotten dirtier than that, Evelyn.
When I seen the dog limpin', I'm tellin' you.
I don't know how bestiality entered the chat,
but it did.
Bestiality is a thing.
-Wait, hold on, wait. -[Jackie] Okay.
[Cheyenne] What's she doin' with the dogs?
Ask her.
No, she has a lizard, too. A big one.
-Oh, Lord Jesus, there it is. -[Cheyenne] I seen it.
-It was on her car. -She done moved on
from the dogs, then, if the dogs wasn't good enough.
I didn't make those allegations, one thing about me is
-I only speak... -[Nina] Someone said it to you?
I speak facts, and what was shared was she was into that.
Oh my gosh.
I'm gonna say to her right now, I was wrong.
Whether it's true, whether it's not true,
I don't give a [bleep].
I mean, she can say whatever, I was never a prostitute.
[Jackie] And she can say I was the prostitute.
She ain't a bestiologist,
and I ain't never been a prostitute.
Okay.
Alright guys, we are gonna move on.
Jackie Christie is no stranger to secret recordings
causing drama on the show.
This season, she was heard on calls with
a former business partner,
saying some rather unsavory things
about her fellow basketball wives.
She's sick of hearing your voice.
She also said no one's interested in
you and Christian getting married.
Oh, she sent your nudes.
I expected more from Jackie.
Yeah, I would never talk about
you not bein' able to have more children.
The way that she's able to talk [bleep],
like, "Girl, you really are a evil [bleep] bitch."
There's an hour of audio of her talkin' [bleep].
You're a lunatic.
You said I was a narcissist, I'm wild, I'm mean.
[Brooke] I have the recording from nine days ago
saying that I'm using my daughter for a check.
-That's not, no, no. -[Brooke] I was on the phone!
There is a question from Denise from Wilmington,
who says, "Brandi, you tried really hard
to get Jackie back in the group.
So, how did you feel hearing Jackie weaponize the fact
that you can no longer have children?"
As a NBA wife,
we're supposed to have a sisterhood and code.
But then you go and talk about me
just like everybody else.
Sundy said, "She would either have to be getting a divorce
or havin' a baby to be relevant."
-You need to get a divorce. -Because...
Because that's why she wasn't here.
-You need a divorce. -That's what I said.
So, Brandi's correct in the conversation that
-me and this other person... -[Brandi] Free Doug.
-Stop! -Free Doug!
[Jackie] Leave my husband...
No, I'm not gonna leave your husband...
-Out. -Out [bleep],
because it's how you and Doug...
What we not gon' do is you not gon' put my husband in it...
-[Brandi] Hey, how are you...? -Because that's some bullbleep].
-[Brandi] How are you...? -[indistinct]
-How are you and Doug...? -Listen...
Listen, that's what you not gon' do.
-That's a goddamn lie. -How are you and Doug?
-And I'mma keep sayin' it over. -[Jackie] [indistinct] you lie.
[overlapping voices]
[Brandi] Get your hands off me.
You better get your hands off me, Brandi!
-[indistinct] -Here's what you gon' do!
[dramatic music]
I don't follow Evelyn, I'm not scared of Evelyn,
I'm not scared of Jackie, you, nobody.
Boo!
What in the hell?
We need a 51-50 straight jacket on set.
We're gonna have a special guest joining us.
Bring in that special guest.
[tense music]
Whew, Lord!
[tense music]
Get your hands off me.
[Jackie] Get your hands off me, Brandi!
-Here's what you gon' do! -[indistinct]
-Don't do that, don't do that. -You not gon' put
-my husband in it. -[Brandi] Hey.
-'Cause that's some bull[bleep]! -How are you and Doug?
Okay, uh, guys, come on.
We need a 51-50 straight jacket on set.
I just want y'all to keep your hands to yourself.
-She's not a threat to me. -Okay.
I can sit here and still say
-what the [bleep] I gotta say. -Brandi...
-Shut up. -I'm not gonna shut up.
-But you don't... -Shut the [bleep] up.
You don't get to say these things about my relationship.
[Jackie] Girl, girl, stop.
Jac'eil, it doesn't seem like you're taking sides.
What could help benefit your relationship with Jackie?
I don't have nothin' against you, Jackie.
You shouldn't, 'cause I've done nothin' but love on you,
-Jac'eil. -I can never finish talking.
-[Nina] Go ahead. -Nah, Jac'eil.
-Give me your hand. -[Jac'eil] Nope.
-Give me your hand. -You won't let me talk.
-[indistinct] give me your hand. -Listen,
what I'm tryin' to tell you is...
-You ain't gotta caress me. -[Jackie] Jac'eil...
[Jac'eil] You talk about me and everything.
[Jackie] When? I said your voice.
My voice sounds husky.
I say you sound like Daffy Duck, I sound like Daffy Duck, too.
-Oh my God. -[Jackie] What else I say?
-[Jac'eil] Jackie... -[Jackie] What else I say?
They say so many good things about her,
why I can't experience that side?
[Nina] I have a question from a fan,
Corey from Jackson, Mississippi.
"Let's set the record straight. Do you actually record others?"
-No. -Eyeroll.
-Jackie... -My God.
-Jackie... -[Jackie] I'm, I'm not finished.
-Damn. -[Nina] Jackie, the ladies
actually caught you red-handed tryin' to record them at
-the bachelorette party... -Yes.
-Absolutely. -[Nina] In Mexico.
Now, were you recording,
or were you checking your messages?
-I was recording. -[Nina] Okay.
[Woman] Oh, my...
[cheering]
They're filmin', look at her filmin'.
Put them bitches in here!
You know, honestly, I do think Jackie and Evelyn,
you all could join forces.
You like to record, you like to get information.
You know what?
[Nina] Why don't y'all start a company?
That's a great idea.
Basketball Wives PI.
The prostitute and a bestiologist.
That would be a spin-off.
Well, on that note, Brooke, at the start of the season,
we saw you making your divorce from Stephen a real thing.
And while you said you were looking to take things slow
in the dating game,
the lie detector decided that was a lie.
You have known me for over ten years,
so where's my flowers?
[Fred] I couldn't do flowers, so I did somethin' better.
Really?
This is how you treat a single lady.
This man, Kevin, popped up in LA on a flight.
He has swept me off my feet.
My man, my man, my man. [laughing]
[Jennifer] Is that him?
-Hi, baby. -[Kevin] How you doin'?
Good, how are you?
He look like Bobby Brown.
[laughing]
We gotta talk about this,
because the ladies wanted to throw you an independence party.
But by the time the party came, you was...
-Right. -You wasn't independent.
Well, Leah has a question for you from Columbus, Ohio.
Hi, Columbus, Ohio Leah.
[Nina] "Brooke, after only three weeks with Kevin,
the two of you had set a wedding date.
Did you think that was moving too fast?"
Now where I'm at in dating is that
wherever the conversation takes me is where I go.
-[Nina] Right. -You know, it's no rules
in this for me.
Were you just a little dick-drunk?
No, no.
I'm, I'm grown enough to be in a space where...
-[Nina] Okay. -I don't get dick-drunk anymore.
It doesn't happen. You got the repellant?
-[Brooke] Yes. -Sell it to me.
Jamila from Tampa, Florida asks,
"How many of you honestly believe that
Brooke was moving too fast with Kevin?"
Go on, Brandi. Raise your hand.
I, I would think that excludes me.
All of us said she was movin' too fast.
Except for Evelyn. Evelyn was like, "Have fun!"
-[Woman] Yeah. -"Let's rodeo!"
If it lasts three months, three years, then that's that.
-Yeah. -Like, she's a boss bitch.
She's gonna bounce right back.
I am dating someone else [indistinct].
Who you with now, Brooke?
-Who is it? -I'm not tellin' y'all.
You not gon' tell us?
No. No wedding date set yet.
Just a couple trips.
Just a couple of trips.
I'm here for that.
Okay, so moving on.
Brandi, you came back this season,
you opened up, you shared a lot,
and you had a lot of your personal life
kind of really out in the forefront.
My son, in January of 2023,
he was diagnosed with Anomalous Right Coronary Artery.
It still breaks me that I could've lost my baby.
Am I wrong for takin' Jason back?
You and Jason stuck it through,
and you stayed there because that's your safe space.
I think what you doin' with Jason is fake as [bleep].
Fakin' like you happy.
I just wanna apologize to you.
You have my word that I will not bring up
your husband's name ever again.
I'm moving to LA officially, and I'm bringing our child.
Mm.
[Nina] Well, listen, you were determined
to focus on your needs this season.
-Yes. -[Nina] So, I guess I wanna know
why was it important for you to discover that
you needed to put yourself first?
I think it's just important before I leave here on Earth
that I really find myself;
happiness, peace, and all of that.
-I love that. -[Brandi] Mm-hm.
So, how are you and Jason? Where do you stand?
I love Jason.
You know, the humiliation part of it really bothers me
because I carry myself in a certain way, with integrity,
and at times I do feel like I deserve better.
-[Nina] Yeah. -You know?
And then, um...
Other times...
-Good. -You know, I want my family.
-That's right. -So...
I noticed, obviously, you got really choked up about that.
Does the thought of the three of you guys together
feel like something you wanna go back to?
I go back and forth with it.
I think what I'm more upset about is
my son is at a age where he has friends that
Google his dad or YouTube, or, you know, stuff,
and those are the first clickbaits that they see.
My son gets pissed off. I hate that for him.
You know, at first it was just me,
now it's our son that it's affecting.
Well, I know circumstances have changed,
because you have decided to take a beat from your marriage
-while you figure things out. -[Brandi] Mm-hm.
I do believe in divorce,
but I also do believe in workin' it out.
Like, exhausting all options first.
Yes, all options.
[Nina] So, Evelyn, we do have a fan question for you
from Gina from Saint Louis, Missouri.
"Evelyn, whenever you and Brandi got into arguments,
the first thing you said
was something about her husband's infidelity.
You know what it feels like to be cheated on,
so why throw this in another woman's face?"
'Cause I don't like Jason.
[Nina] You don't like him?
-[Evelyn] No. -[Jennifer] Oh my God.
Did you know that?
I don't think either one of us care.
I do know firsthand what that feels like.
So, it's more about him and not her.
But you not liking Jason
and keep throwing the digs at me...
-[Evelyn] No, I know. -Does what for you?
Well, a lot of those times when we got into it,
we're arguing.
And when we're arguing, you talk [bleep].
It wasn't the right card to pull in an argument,
but that's why I apologized to you.
It's not something that will happen again.
Brandi, do you accept Evelyn's apology
and explanation for why she used that as her low-hanging fruit
-in an argument? -I accepted it
four different times.
But I don't know her.
I took more personal from my friend over there, Brooke.
When I first heard Evelyn say something about Jason,
Brooke, you stood there and didn't say anything to her.
[Jennifer] I had a conversation with Brandi,
and she was like, "Well, you know,
Brooke should be questioning
Evelyn's friendship with Cheyenne."
You should be questioning your [bleep] dude
-that slept with 300 bitches. -[Jac'eil] Oh my God.
[Evelyn] That's who the [bleep] you should be questionin'.
Bitch, you should've checked that right then and there.
I know I didn't go to the degree
that Brandi would've expected me to go to
or that I would've expected her to go to.
So...
[Nina] Brandi, do you accept that?
I accept it, but I still don't think that that's enough.
But you also were there with me
with everything that I went through with Jackie.
-[Brandi] Mm-hm. -[Brooke] And still invited her
to your cooking class without telling me
that she was going to be in my space...
-Yes. -[Brooke] When I didn't wanna
-be in her space. -But that's still me
-looking out for you. -I just want y'all to talk.
What?
Y'all was once friends before.
I will never be friends with her again.
I mean, I hope I didn't make a mistake.
You did.
I know what I did was wrong.
How is that you looking out for me?
I would never let no one sit in front of my face...
-[Brooke] Mm-hm. -And ever disrespect you.
In the space that you and I were in at the time that
Evelyn made the digs with your husband,
we were not in a great place.
So, we're sticky, you let anybody say anything?
No, not because we were sticky.
I just was not in a space to do that.
That was you and Evelyn's situation,
and she's my friend and you're my friend,
and that's a situation I didn't want to put myself
-in the middle of. -Noted, I got it, I receive it.
I'm not gonna pick sides,
the same way you didn't between Jackie and I.
You know what? I love you, Brooke.
Cool, cool.
That's my feelin', I'mma stick to it, cool.
[Nina] Listen, putting your relationship out there
is incredibly difficult.
-Yes. -[Nina] So, Brandi,
I wanna say thank you for showin' that.
-Thank you. -[Nina] And we're happy
-you're back. -Thank you.
And on that note,
we are gonna take a little bit of a break.
But stick around for more Basketball Wives LA Reunion.
Our special guest, Cheyenne, will be joining us
when we return.
Bring in that special guest.
Let's get ready to rumble.
You stayed in your seat like you doin' now.
-[Brooke] No, I didn't. -Yes, you did.
-Actually, I didn't. -Yes, you did.
Christian has never asked me to pay any of his restitution.
He can pay it. We're good.
Welcome back to the Basketball Wives reunion.
I'm your host, Nina Parker.
We are now joined by Cheyenne Bryant.
-Cheyenne, you look beautiful. -How you doin'?
-Thank you, thank you. -Thank you so much for
joining us today, how you feelin'?
-I feel good. -[Nina] You feel good?
Thank you for having me. Absolutely.
-[Nina] Yeah! -I feel really good.
-[Nina] Okay, good. -[Cheyenne] Yeah.
Well, you guys, Cheyenne came in to mediate,
but she wasn't afraid to mix it up
with the other women, either.
It seems like she brought as much drama
as she did resolution,
and one thing is for certain.
The show was never dry when she was around.
[Jackie] Cheyenne Bryant is a good friend of mine,
and she might be able to help bring
some resolution to this mess.
[Cheyenne] Anything where you had to use credit,
I want every single woman to stand up who has done that.
Brooke, you never got a credit card or a car?
Yeah, that's why my hand's up, baby.
You called me out in front of all of your guests.
-I did. -That's rude.
-I did. -[Cheyenne] I thought it was
tasteless and classless.
I don't care what the [bleep] you thought.
[Cheyenne] She needs to go. She needs to go.
I ain't goin' no [bleep] where.
It is what it is.
It is what it is, right.
Just 'cause you look like a boy, bitch, you still a bitch.
It did seem like digs were bein' thrown,
and she's just, like, minding her business.
I did mean what I said when I said
you're tasteless and classless.
And I should've added nasty.
Jac'eil, are we talkin'?
'Cause she gay bashed, she's low-functioning.
So are you, you're low-functioning.
You're classless and you're tasteless.
[Nina] You and Brooke do know each other.
You both admitted that you knew each other from the past.
Yeah, we knew each other from mutual friends, yes.
[Nina] But you guys have never been friends.
-No. -[Nina] Okay.
Evelyn, you know, you in the hot seat a little bit,
because you did get upset with Brandi
for inviting Jackie to her event.
Mm-hm.
[Nina] But then you invited Jackie and Cheyenne...
-I did, I did. -[Nina] To Mexico.
"I did, I did."
I do need to ask, Brandi and Jac'eil,
because you both kinda got
the brunt of trying to do the kumbaya.
Were you offended that she extended the invite to Jackie?
I was really offended,
'cause I'm like, Evelyn, you was the one tellin' me,
"I'm not [bleep] with her, I don't believe her.
You fallin' for that [bleep]."
[Brandi] This whole group is hypocritical.
I just feel like when Evelyn has the floor
or when Evelyn feels a way,
y'all all kinda, like, gravitate to Evelyn.
And when she ease up, y'all all ease up, too.
Are you sayin' they follow Evelyn?
-That's not true. -[Brandi] I think so.
And the next person on that list...
It goes Evelyn, and then Brooke.
Everybody scared of Brooke.
Nobody's scared of me.
[overlapping voices]
-[Jac'eil] Brandi. -[Brandi] Yeah.
First of all, I don't follow nobody.
I'm not scared of Evelyn, I'm not scared of Jennifer.
-Jackie, you, nobody. -Boo!
-Nobody. -You know you scared.
Bitch, what the hell?
I'm not scared of Brooke.
I don't get in Brooke business, that's the difference.
[Brandi] Well, I said what I said,
and I feel like, still, again, Evelyn and then Brooke.
I would like to address this.
I feel like you were trying to
find your place back in the group.
With me even having these new relationships
with these ladies that you really don't know
that I have taking a liking to.
Well, your assessment is wrong.
Okay, guys, I know this is, it's a lot,
because you guys have a layered friendship,
and it's a very long friendship.
We gotta talk about Mexico, okay?
'Cause...
Cheyenne, let me ask you,
were you shocked that you got the invite to Mexico?
-No, not shocked. -[Nina] No?
Uh-uh, I figured if Jackie was invited,
that she was gonna make sure that
she wanted me to come along.
-And tell me about this luggage. -Ooh...
Do you have your face on your luggage?
I do.
-The bag is wild. -[Brooke] Everything is wild.
[Jennifer] She be marketing herself, though.
It's a really good marketing tool.
When I came to Mexico, Jen asked me,
"Where'd you get that from?"
So, I mean, there you go right there.
[Brooke] I think you were being a little facetious.
Yeah, 'cause I had never seen no [bleep] like that.
[Nina] Obviously, tempers were hot in Mexico,
and we do have a question from Shiray in South Jersey,
and it's for you, Jac'eil.
"When Cheyenne accused Brooke of gay bashing,
the two of you had different takes on it,
and it spilled into Mexico.
You felt as if Brooke said nothing wrong.
Do you still feel strongly that Cheyenne had it all wrong,
and that Brooke was not gay bashing?"
I don't feel like Brooke was gay bashing nobody.
She just said, "You a woman and I'll beat your ass like one."
She said, "You look like a man."
No, I said, "You're dressed like a boy,
-but you're still a bitch." -[Cheyenne] Regardless of
what was said, it was derogatory.
-And I'll beat your ass. -It was derogatory,
and that's what you wasn't gonna do.
-Period. -[indistinct]
You wasn't gonna do none of that to nobody.
You don't know what I would've done.
-The same way... -[Cheyenne] You stood up and
-shouted, didn't do anything. -I would've drug her...
-You stayed in your seat... -[Brooke] No, I didn't.
-Yes, you did. -[Brooke] Actually, I didn't.
-Yes, you did. -I didn't.
Yes, you did, she wasn't gonna put her hands
-on nobody. -I'm not gonna apologize
-about that. -[Cheyenne] And if she would've
put her hands on anybody, [indistinct]
-[indistinct], ever. -It would have been.
I don't think we're gonna get anywhere at this moment.
I already told her I don't like her.
-[Nina] Okay. -So, that's the end of that.
Alright, well, uh, let's move on to...
The less fortunate can't like people who are fortunate.
I'm, there's nothin' less fortunate about me
like that fake-ass watch you have on.
But Nina, go ahead.
Alright guys. We're gonna take a break.
But the drama continues when we return.
She was in stance, squared up behind Jackie.
I stood up behind Jackie to have Jackie's back.
If somethin' would've went down physical...
So, you would've jumped me?
[tense music]
Honestly, I think we're tip-toeing around the subject
with her and Christian.
-There's other things... -We don't have to tip-toe
around anything!
I know the truth. We're good.
Welcome back to the Basketball Wives LA Reunion.
Let's get back into it.
The girls' trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,
was meant to be peaceful.
It was supposed to be a getaway for the ladies,
and there was some peace.
But also people giving a piece of their mind.
[Jennifer] Viva Mexico! Love and light, ladies.
-Yes! -And tequila.
Okay, we're finally here.
[Ladies] Ooh!
Ahh!
[screaming]
[Jackie] This feels orgasmic.
[laughter]
And my husband is callin', callin' me!
Good, I'm glad he callin' you and no one else!
Get you one, so you can find somebody.
[Evelyn] I wanted to play something.
[Shaunie] "'I just saw all your messages to my husband.'
'Oh no, this has got to be a mistake.'"
Oh my God, who's she talkin' about?
Apparently, she's talkin' about me.
[Jackie] There was rumors
Evelyn and Shaunie's ex had had somethin'.
Shut the [bleep] up.
See? That's what I'm sayin'.
I brought it the [bleep] up! It's over!
Don't yell at me.
It's not [bleep] yelling, because it's [bleep] over!
Take your aggression somewhere else!
It's over, it's over!
I ain't doin' this [bleep].
I dare you. I dare you.
Oh, watch out!
-[shouting] -Brandi...
[tense music]
I can't keep [bleep] playin' this [bleep]!
I hate that bitch!
[Nina] Alright, you guys, things really did take a turn...
-Yeah. -[Nina] ...at the last dinner
in Mexico.
And then you two kinda get into it.
Yes, because she yells at me!
[Nina] Yeah.
She's yelling at me, Laura's yelling at me.
I heard Jason's name, I heard the marriage stuff,
I've been hearing it even with, uh, Evelyn.
I've been hearing the dig, I've been hearing it all.
And I had just about enough of it.
-[Nina] Yeah. -[Brandi] And I think
you just hurt me the most.
-You know? -And I'm truly sorry, Brandi,
because at the end of the day, you're right.
I did say somethin' very mean about the whole Jason thing.
I am truly sorry.
-Jason is an amazing... -[Brandi] And I apologize, too.
Thank you.
But I didn't expect my sister,
my NBA sister, to do that [bleep].
-And that's how I felt. -[Nina] Okay.
-And I stand on it. -[Nina] Alright.
It happened fast, watching it happen fast.
-[Brandi] Yeah. -Cheyenne, you got involved.
Why did you decide to kinda
-get up and get involved? -I don't even notice
Cheyenne gettin' involved.
-Brandi stood up. -[Nina] Okay.
Jackie was still kinda sittin' for a few seconds, and I waited.
And then when Jackie stood up...
So, what, you tryin' to fight me?
No one's tryin' to fight you, Brandi.
I jumped up to kinda get in between y'all.
-That's not what I saw. -What did you see?
She was in stance, squared up behind Jackie.
-[Cheyenne] No, she's right. -[Nina] Okay.
-I stood up behind Jackie... -[Nina] Okay, okay.
To have Jackie's back.
If somethin' would've went down physical,
would I have made sure that
-I had her back? -So, you would've jumped me?
Brandi, you goin'...
No one's talkin' about
-jumping you. -You said to have Jackie's back.
-Yes! -Well, that is to have her back.
You're standing up in the stands...
-Brandi, because, Brandi... -[indistinct]
In your mind, to have her back is to jump you.
In my mind, having her back was to stand up
to get in the middle.
Let's change gears a little bit to lighten the mood.
How 'bout your kiss?
That was spicy.
"Tongue kiss the closest person next to you..."
-No, no. -"Or take, or take two shots."
Give me my shots.
Come on, come on. French kiss.
Tongue out! Oh, oh my God!
What was goin' on here? What led up to this?
Tequila, tequila.
Basically, I pulled the card,
and the card said to kiss the person next to me.
-[Nina] Yes. -I had Jackie to my right,
and I had Brooke to my left.
-Listen here... -[Evelyn] And I said,
"Ooh, Lord, I don't wanna be on camera kissin' Jackie!"
She was respecting I'm a married woman.
Did you respect that you were a married woman
when you kissed me?
How much more real can I get?
You feel like you're chokin' me.
[Jackie] Yeah, you want it! You want it!
-Now, you liked it. -Now shut the [bleep] up!
That was different.
-That was different. -I mean, I'm not gonna lie,
it looked like y'all enjoyed the kiss.
So, Brooke and Jackie, I wanna talk to both of you.
because your issues seem to fester all season long.
I'm glad that you guys ever able to come to a middle ground.
My issue is every excuse that comes along with
you saying, "I'm gonna be accountable."
I take full accountability. I, I [bleep] up.
Because if it was me putting myself in your shoes,
I would feel the same way.
I don't have an argument for it. You are [bleep] right.
I hold myself fully accountable for it.
[Brooke] Us being friends is a reach.
Us being able to be in the same room together is easy.
Where do you guys stand now?
I know you guys had the conversation in Mexico,
time has passed since then.
I forgive, I hope you forgive.
What are you forgiving me for?
For everything that we've been through.
[Brooke] I'm not angry with you.
-[Jackie] Good. -I'm not upset with you.
I have, like, absolutely no feelings, actually.
I am at a point where I do not want her
or anyone else to speak on
anything that has to do with Kayla.
Is this something we can all agree to?
This is Brooke's wish that this is no longer brought up.
-Yes. -[Nina] That looks like
collectively everybody wants to agree to that.
Yes.
Hopefully this'll be some closure on this show for you
-for that. -Thank you.
Cheyenne, thank you so much for joining us.
I'm glad that you were able to come to this,
-kinda speak your piece. -Thank you, absolutely.
-Thank you for having me. -[Nina] Thanks for joining us.
You guys, we have to take a break,
but there is plenty more Basketball Wives LA Reunion
when we return.
We are back with the ladies of Basketball Wives.
Let's get back into it.
Jac'eil had been living the life of a basketball wife
for some time,
but finally made it official this season,
tying the knot with WNBA star Natasha Howard.
They were apart for a lot of the planning,
but they made the most of their time together,
and their wedding day was a thing of beauty.
As we gather in the presence of God today,
we bear witness to the sacred union
of Jac'eil Ducksworth and Natasha Howard.
I love you, and I can't wait to start this new chapter with you
and with our family.
I never in my life seen myself gettin' married.
But you changed that for me.
And I love you.
[Natasha] I love you more.
[Brooke] I now pronounce you partners for life.
You may kiss your bride.
[cheering]
[laughter]
So, Jac'eil, first of all, congratulations.
Thank you.
How is your new blended family?
It's amazing.
Natasha, um, saved me from a lot, like, mentally.
Well, can we talk a minute about wedding etiquette?
Y'all was eatin'.
Yeah, they were.
-[Nina] Y'all was eatin food. -They were.
-We were. -Before the ceremony.
Let me get a drink.
[Brooke] I wanna get food.
[Evelyn] Are we supposed to wait?
[Brooke] I'm eating.
I need to eat before I get in front of all these people.
[Jennifer] I feel like we're supposed to wait.
The one thing about Jac'eil, she is not formal.
[Brooke] Exactly, and Jen over here tryin' to be all proper.
[Evelyn] Yeah.
I knew in my heart Jac'eil would be fine with it.
Were you, were you okay with it?
No, I, I wasn't okay with it.
-Oh, you weren't?! -She wasn't!
[Jac'eil] I wasn't, I wasn't mad,
but it was the fact that I didn't want plates on the table
while she, while the photographer
was shooting, that's all.
-The food was amazing. -It was.
I definitely asked, though.
I was like, "Guys, are you sure we're supposed to eat?"
Well, I'm glad it all got cleared up for
at least the photos.
Alright, Jac'eil wasn't the only one with plans
to walk down the aisle this season.
Ever since Jennifer got engaged
to her fiancé Christian last season,
she has been planning for her dream wedding in Paris.
But even a dream wedding
can get a little hard dose of reality sometimes.
[Jennifer] ♪ Here comes the bride ♪
Oh my God!
♪ Looks just divine ♪
[laughter]
"I promise to love you for richer or richer."
The budget it gettin' crazy.
It's so many different tedious things.
And then, of course, you know, the situation with
me still paying a little under $250,000 in restitution
that I have to give to them
in order to make sure there's no hindrance on me
travelin' outside the country.
I'm up for termination at the end of next year.
I hope we can make it to Paris and, and get married.
This is ridiculous.
So, we gotta jump into this, Jennifer.
The wedding is around the corner,
how are you with the planning?
I'm good, honestly, I have an amazing wedding planner.
She's on the ground in Paris,
and I was in Europe for three weeks.
-Oh, wow. -So, I feel good.
I'm just gettin' a little anxious
because, you know, you just want everything to go right.
We have another fan question,
this is Sheila from Lubbock, Texas.
"Jennifer, a video came out where a lawyer said
she did some digging
and found out Christian's restitution wasn't 250,
but $12,000.
Have you seen proof that the amount was 250,000?"
First of all, these people doin' all this diggin',
they have no idea what they're talking about.
That was the initial amount,
but there's motions that get filed.
-[Nina] Okay. -[Jennifer] So, there was
an additional motion that got filed for more money,
-which was hospital bills. -[Nina] Okay.
Like, I know the truth.
The restitution is paid,
so he's done with this case, we're...
Is that something you guys did together?
Or did he pay this off on his own?
Christian has never asked me to pay a thing.
-[Nina] Wow. -So, let's, like,
clear all that up right now.
He's definitely never asked me to pay any of his restitution.
He can pay it. We're good.
Evelyn, you look a little uncomfortable.
Was it the restitution number?
I'm only... I'm not.
I don't care about the restitution.
But I do feel some type of way.
[Nina] Why? What way?
Because there was a domestic issue,
I don't know the specifics.
That's not accurate,
'cause Christian was acquitted of anything domestic.
So, like, I, I don't want that false narrative
to be out there.
Can you tell me what he was actually convicted for?
-False imprisonment. -[Nina] Okay.
Does that still make you uncomfortable, Evelyn?
It's triggering for me, hearing those things.
We had a conversation with her,
and I just think Jennifer was talking fast, but she said,
"You know, it probably would've been better if she would've..."
Somethin' about a car crash.
If you say, "Don't leave, let's work this out,"
that's considered false imprisonment.
I ain't never sayin' that.
He would've been better off just lettin' her go
get in a car crash,
and whatever happens to her.
Well, yeah, because that's what his attorney said.
And it, it wasn't...
I, I was not bein' insensitive to you.
I understand.
You're really emotional,
and I do understand you bein' defensive and protective.
You know I love you and I want the best for you,
and the majority of us have experienced
domestic violence situations.
But when we hear you defend him
and speak about the victim publicly,
that's triggering for some of us.
And whatever it was, we cannot tell her story.
-Right? -Listen, I'm not tryin' to
tell anybody's story.
I know, don't, don't be defensive with me, I know.
No, no, no, listen.
It's behind him, we're moving on.
The restitution is done,
I'm not gonna continue to talk about it.
[Nina] Listen, Jennifer,
throughout all the years on the show,
the ladies have had strong opinions
about each other's love lives.
So, I know you all have tried lovingly to,
to talk about that.
I know there have been some cast members who have,
may not have directly addressed it with you,
but do have their own concerns,
and I do want you to take a listen to some audio
from this season.
[tense music]
Welcome back to the Basketball Wives LA Reunion,
let's get back into it.
Jennifer, I wanna ask you about how you feel about
what you just heard.
Well, I mean, I think it's unfortunate.
And honestly, I feel bad that he gets all these attacks,
'cause he really doesn't deserve it.
Brandi, I, I know when the audio was playing,
it seemed like you had, like, a smirk on your face.
-Mm-hm. -What are you thinking?
Honestly, I think we're tip-toeing around the subject
with her and Christian,
because we are cautious and gentle with Jennifer
because we do love her
and we don't want you to be mad at us.
-There's other things... -You don't have to tip-toe
around anything.
Just like I don't have to agree with your decision
with you stayin' with Jason,
you don't have to agree with my decision.
It sounds like you were concerned about your friend.
Yeah, and I never investigated him because I don't want this
to ruin my friendship with her, because I love Jennifer.
Like, I genuinely love her.
So, I have to kind of just be quiet
and find the, the right words
'cause I don't want her to, to be upset.
[Brooke] But, you know, as friends,
we do wanna be able to say how we are really, truly feeling
without her feeling like we're busting her balloon.
I appreciate the concern,
and I wouldn't expect for my friends to do anything else.
But I do think the main, uh, common denominator
is that you all love Jennifer.
And I know this is very real for you all,
so let's move on.
[bass-heavy music]
Oh, we're really almost about done, huh?
We are.
You guys, don't look in, don't open 'em yet.
Let's get back into it.
We wanna wrap things up with more fun.
So, the ladies have brought gifts
for their fellow basketball wives
to help commemorate this season.
Let's go around the group,
and we're gonna explain what they mean.
So, Jennifer and Jac'eil, we're gonna start with you guys.
So, Jac'eil, I bought you a gift.
Okay.
Oh! I need this.
-[Ladies] Aww. -What is it?
So, I bought her a devotional.
[All] Aww.
It's for couples.
I just wanted to gift her a little gift
from bride to bride.
[Nina] Oh, that's so beautiful.
Wishing you a lifetime of bliss.
-Thank you so much, I need this. -[Nina] Oh, that's beautiful.
Okay, so Jac'eil, who did you get a gift for?
Brandi.
Okay.
What's a mirror for?
[Jac'eil] It's because I want you to reflect on
everything you've been through,
because you've been through so much,
and you still just show up.
[Brandi] Thank you.
[Jac'eil] And I don't know how you do it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
But I want you to reflect on who you are.
-Thank you. -Because you beautiful.
-Aww, I love that. -[Brandi] Thank you!
-That's very sweet, Jac'eil. -Thank you.
-Okay. -[Nina] Okay.
Brandi, who did you give your gift to?
[Brandi] So, I gave it to Brooke.
Okay. Go ahead, Brooke.
Aww! This bitch.
-"I told you so!" -[Brandi] "I told you so!"
[Ladies] Wow.
-It's funny, but I love you. -That's hilarious.
-I know. -[Brandi] And everything I do
with you is pure intention,
and I want the best for you.
I appreciate you and I love you.
I love you.
Okay, Jackie, who did you give your gift to?
Evelyn.
[Ladies] Oh...
Wait! A sex toy?
[laughter]
-What? -[Brooke] Oh, my...
It's a rose because not only are you beautiful,
your spirit's beautiful,
and I know that you aren't with anybody right now.
So, this will keep you busy...
-Okay. -And away from them dogs.
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm just playin', I'm just playin'.
I gave it to you because I, I adore you,
and I hope you enjoy it.
-Thank you. -I got one too, so...
I appreciate it, thank you.
-[Jackie] You're welcome. -[Nina] Evelyn,
who is your gift for?
My gift is for Jackie.
-Oh... -Oh my God.
[Nina] I'm nervous.
Aw, "Support your..." Oh, [indistinct]
"Support your local sex workers."
Evelyn. Evelyn!
No matter what you've done with your coochie, Jackie,
-I love you very much. -[Jackie] Oh...
Thank you, Evelyn.
Now the last gift, Jennifer?
-It's from me. -[Nina] That's from Brooke.
[Ladies] Uh-oh.
Oh God.
It's a roller skate.
-Wait, is there...? -[Nina] Okay!
-[Brooke] Yes. -You know what?
What is...?
Not a red flag.
So, the roller skate is because
I feel like Jen roller skated through this whole season...
Right.
[Brooke] Without any bull[bleep] on her back.
-[Jackie] Right. -That's not true!
And that is not fair.
And the red flags were for the obvious,
we've talked about it,
and I'm not gonna go down that road again.
I wanna say that it's always better
to give gifts than throw shade, so...
I think some of these were shady.
This is a wonderful way to wrap things up.
Ladies, I have to say,
I know you have your ups and downs,
but I get why you continue to be around each other,
because you are a pleasure to be around.
-[Brandi] Thank you. -And I really enjoy
sharing space with you guys today,
and thank you so much for putting your lives out there
for us all to witness and sometimes judge.
[Ladies] Yes! [laughing]
I am your host, Nina Parker.
Thank you for joining us for another
Basketball Wives LA Reunion.
We're wrapped!
[Ladies] Woo!
Another one down in the books!
You, y'all some shady bitches!
[laidback music]
[music]
[whoosh]
[cymbals, fingers snapping]
