Blame it on the Alcohol: Basketball Wives S2 Tami & Jenn's Food Stamp Dust-Up


By Alicia Cruz

If you haven't caught the latest episode of "Basketball Wives" on VH1, you missed an amusing one.
Season two heated up with the addition of The Real World: Los Angeles (1993) Tami Roman Anderson, the former wife of retired NBA player Kenny Anderson.

On the Sunday, January 16, 2011 episode, Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozado crash Ashley Walker's charity event. These two were not invited to the event and decided to go anyway (classy, huh?).
Anyway, for those of you who may not know, Ashley is an entrepreneur and the girlfriend of Houston Rockets point guard Rafer Alston.

OK, so, as Jenn and Evelyn stroll into the party, the man at the door asks if their names are on the list and Evelyn, true to form, says, "Uh, no we’re not on the list. F*** outta here," and keeps walking past him.

At some point, Jennifer and Evelyn ask why they weren't invited to the event and Tami tells them. While Tami is explaining why they were snubbed, she tells Jennifer how she rubbed her the wrong way when they first met with her "I don't even know what a food stamp looks like" remark from four episodes ago. See it HERE

That sets the stage for Tami's shoes-off-I'm-a-whup-that-tail outburst. And she went o-f-f! If you missed the episode here it is:

Ashley left this tweet following Sunday night's episode: "I want to say one thing tamiroman apologized to me on camera (which wasn’t shown) and off camera many times. I have respect n luv for her."
Tami, who admitted in a tweet, that she was not a drinker, said the producers did not show her apologizing to Ashley for her behavior: "they didn’t show that. It is what it is-reality TV."

More of Tami's Tweets:
"I went overboard-my bad"

"I spoke on the issue and it escalated out of proportion-when I get pissed it goes left sometimes-venue couldn’t b helped"

"At the end of the day, I was standing up 4myself. YES I was on food stamps once-but u NOT gonna disrepsect me because of it. Final answer."

Later in the episode, Tami has "Smart Liposuction" performed and is shown in pain and bleeding while she is all alone in a Miami hotel room. A knock on the door surprises Tami, and when she tells the person to come in, guess who walks through the door?
Awww!
What a big and gracious move on Jenn's part. She walks in hugs Tami and hands her...a couple of ancient food stamps that looked like they were from the Depression Era, and adds, "Now I know what they look like." She and Tami have a good laugh and exchange hugs as the scene ends. I really thought that was very nice of Jennifer and big of Tami to accept her peace offering.

Truthfully, I don't think Jenn meant any harm towards Tami with her food stamp comment. Perhaps it shouldn't have been said in front of all the ladies, but I really don't think Jenn meant to scorn Tami. Tami is sensitive about her struggle (as many of us may be) and perhaps a bit embarrassed and the comment hurt her.
Either way, I'm glad they're all past that trash. Now if only Evelyn would "Bitch-Boo-Bye" (as Royce says) her issue with Suzie, we could see these two get past that appendage.
Now, back to Jenn: As if she didn't have enough to worry about with an emotionally and physically unavailable husband who agrees to a divorce as if he were agreeing to ordering Lo Mein off a Chinese Food menu, now there are nude photos taken with Jenn's cell phone that have surfaced. But you guys already know about that.

Twitter fans say they think Jennifer leaked the photos herself in order to garner attention, but who knows. In one of the photos, it looks like Jenn has an implant in her left breast that appears to be slipping. Yikes!
