Everyone knows by now where I stand on this whole Basketball Wives series..it’s like watching Jerry Springer. Royce Reed has really grown on me this season and I have genuinely taking a liking to her. She has her issues like being overly emotional but we as women usually are sometimes. 
Royce Reed wrote on her VH1 blog and I loved it because she tells it how it really is and she kept it one hundred (as the street says). Read below what she had to say about this past Mondays show about the girls and their Tahiti trip. smh
“I was honestly just hoping Kesha didn’t say her skin hurt. Tami seemed as though she was trying to find something to get upset about and she chose a cough. From the way the girls were seated in the car, to laughing and making faces behind Kesha’s back if you take a screen capture from that scene and mine from the van in Spain, it’s almost identical.
I’m not sure what happened to Tami, but this isn’t the woman I’ve gotten to know. To see these women gang up on someone who has done nothing to them is embarrassing. I say ganging up because NO ONE did anything to stop it. If you don’t say anything you then become part of the problem. Who cares if Kesha was scared to get in the ocean with sharks and stingrays, I don’t believe I saw any of your a**es in a swimsuit jumping in the water either. How are you going to call someone else scary when at least they put on the attire instead of saying “Oh Hell NO” in confessionals?????
I applaud Suzie and Kesha for appreciating what Tahiti had to offer and attempting to stay drama free. I find it amazing when alcohol is used as liquid courage and an excuse to turn into the HULK. Most times I drink, I get emotional, horny, and just want to dance…..:side-eye: lol. But if you know that drinks cause you to have a temper, why indulge just because everyone else is? The whole scene with Tami and Kesha I shook my head. At some point you have to look at yourself and say “Damn, that wasn’t a good look. I need to change the way I speak to people and handle things because I look crazy.” If you don’t see it, your “so-called” friends have and should tell you the same. Tami, if Evelyn and Shaunie found no problem with Kesha’s questions, it wasn’t up to you to find one. Tami, if you HEARD Kesha said all these things about you, why not call out the person who told you so you can get all three parties together.
I’m sure THAT PERSON was probably sitting at that table. I have an idea of two people who could’ve said it. One is known to talk a lot, and the other is a snake in the grass. If you’re going based off the footage that was shown, Kesha said “I seriously had to just NOT go off…and honestly, like, I could’ve came at Tami and said whatever I wanted to but there’s nothing I could’ve said that would’ve made her look worse than she was making herself look…Tami is like acting a fool” …She never said she wanted to, so why are you asking her to now??? The smirking on the side by Evelyn and Shaunie is a DAMN SHAME. Grown as women talking about a damn position! Grown ass women wanting to fight with no repercussions!I HEARD about what happened in Tahiti but seeing it now is an embarrassment and the sh!t is PISSING ME OFF!!!! GROWN ASS AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN feeding into the stereotype already placed on us…plus two!!!!!!!!”
What do you think of Royce’s letter about the ladies?

Wooow. I’ve liked Royce since last season because she let them all know that she isn’t afraid of them, when they come at her she gives it right back and she doesn’t get involved in the going back in forth with the ‘I HEARD” and “SHE SAID”. The entire show is a hot mess and I don’t think they fully understand that the country is laughing at them and they are perpetuating stereo types that will only make things harder on other black women, their daughters, and themselves when this show is over (who wants to do business with someone that doesn’t know how to act). But just as dope dealers push drugs to their own community for a dollar, most rappers push ignorance to their own community for a dollar, these women also push ignorance and the glamorization of lose morals and low ethical standards to our community for a dollar. How are you gonna be 40 wanting to punch and slap people……really?! Good on Royce for keeping her distance from the mess and being smart enough to “use” this show as a catalyst to get her career going in the direction she wants it to go.
