Ogom “OG” Chijindu, one of the stars of Basketball Wives, has been at war with Evelyn Lozada and apparently, that tension has spread to other members of the cast. After accusing the show’s members of mistreatment due to her darker skin, show producer Shaunie O’Neal has disputed those claims.


TMZ
reports:

A little background … the colorism accusations surfaced during one of the reunion shows. Host Marc Lamont Hill told the cast OG feels like she gets treated differently because she has a darker complexion.

Shaunie scoffed at the accusation … saying OG’s aggressive and violent behavior is what pushed the cast away from her. In a clip from next week’s reunion show, obtained by TMZ, Shaunie addresses the accusations head-on, saying she’s sorry OG feels like she’s being mistreated but vehemently denies the colorism claim. The episode airs Wednesday on VH1.

If one thought that simmering beef between Evelyn Lozada and Ogom “OG” Chijindu had died down, think again. Lozada has filed a lawsuit against her Basketball Wives co-star after OG shared a social media post that took huge swipes at her rival.

According to a report from The Blast, Lozada filed the lawsuit after Chijindu reposted one of Lozada’s Instagram posts with an explosive caption last month. It read, “WOW, SO NOW BLACK WOMEN ARE MONKEYS? EVERYONE BOYCOTT THIS TRASHBOX YOU ARE DISGUSTING.”

The outlet also wrote that OG added,”AND THERE IT IS.. YOU SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS YOU RACIST BIGOT.”

The tweets in question are still on Chijindu’s Twitter timeline and we’ve shared them below.

Lozada is suing for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, framing the tweets as defamatory statements that are damaging her bottom line. She is asking for unspecified damages.

Evelyn Lozada Urged To File Restraining Order Against ‘Basketball Wives’ Co-Star OG

The drama is high with the cast of Basketball Wives, this after a taping of a reunion show went awry. Evelyn Lozada apparently has some beef with co-star Ogom “OG” Chijindu, prompting some close to her in advising her to take out a restraining order.


The Blast
reports:

Sources tell The Blast, the reunion show for “Basketball Wives” was shot last week. We’re told production constructed two different sets on the stage. They wanted to avoid any confrontations and keep ladies apart who had issues.

The main set was for Shaunie O’Neal, Evelyn, Malaysia Pargo, Jackie Christie, Kristen Scott and Feby Torres. The smaller set was for Tami Roman, Cece Gutierrez and Ogom “OG” Chijindu.

We’re told Roman called out sick days before the taping. Sources on set tell The Blast, once OG arrived to set she “lost it”. Sources say she went off on production and cast members, upset she wasn’t seated at the main stage.

OG allegedly told producers she refused to tape the reunion. She walked away from set and the reunion went along filming. We’re told she eventually came back and filmed the reunion, after seeing the show was going on without her.

Following the reunion, OG began barraging Lozada with angry messages on social media. The posts about Lozada have been nonstop with some retweets mentioning violence.

Fans of the show have sided with both ladies in this simmering feud, with some noting that Lozada has insulted Chijindu’s looks in the past, but that was countered with chatter that OG herself has engaged in similar comments alongside Tami Roman.

The outlet adds that sources say OG has been a problem for cast members and even got into it with the host of the reunion taping.

Damon Wayans Jr. & ‘Basketball Wives’ Aja Metoyer In Custody Battle

Damon Wayans Jr. is currently in the middle of a custody battle with the daughter of his mother, Aja Metoyer, and she’s preparing to fight back. Wayans has requested primary custody of the pair’s two teen daughters, which Metoyer, who stars on Basketball Wives, says is a ploy for the actor to pay less in child support.

The Blast reports:

Sources close to Metoyer tell The Blast she’s lawyered up and is prepared to square off against Wayans, who is requesting primary physical custody of their teenage daughters. He claims Metoyer isn’t taking the kid’s education seriously, and believes she’s doing them harm.

However, Metoyer’s legal team tells us they find it “curious” Wayans is making a request for more custody right as he’s also launching a new “lucrative” primetime network show, “Happy Together.”

We’re told Metoyer and her legal team believe Wayans only wants more custody to avoid paying more in child support, because in California child support is commonly established based on the income of the highest earning parent and the percentage of custody they have.

Some might know that Metoyer is the mother of a son she gave birth to in 2013 with Dwyane Wade.
