Girl Bye: Tami Roman Has The Nerve To Say She’s Being Bullied By ‘BBW’ Viewers

I wonder if anybody can get Dr. Sherry to venture over from We TV to VH1 and help Tami Roman work through her issues because this child–actually this 40-year-old woman—clearly has some sort of complex her current therapist has not been able to break through.

I’ve respected Tami’s crazy for a while, but what I can’t stand is that she expects other people to adjust to her crazy and approach her as such—which isn’t doable for people who are not actually crazy like she is. Her victim game has been evident in her arguments with Keisha on “Basketball Wives,” when she attacks the poor girl for not confronting her in the same ghetto way she wants to be, and now she has the nerve to say viewers of the show aren’t being respectful of her and her issues. She told Sister 2 Sister:

“Waking up to negativity on Twitter, negativity on Facebook, negativity on blogs, it’s emotionally and mentally draining, and things people say because they think they know you for watching you one hour of the week, it can weigh on your psyche.

“The way I’ve dealt with things over the course of my life comes from deep-routed issues. Everybody has to respect the fact that people are going to take the journey and cross bridges when they’re ready to do it. “People judge based on how they would handle a situation. They don’t take into consideration how a person was raised. Everybody’s going to handle things differently.”

Does she want to run that tape back and see how sympathetic she was not to the fact that Keisha wasn’t raised to call a woman a b**** and steal her purse because she wouldn’t cuss her out in public (sorry, spoiler)? Tami then proceeds to read off a list of things she should be telling herself when it comes to dealing with conflict in her little clique

“You don’t have to follow me on Twitter. You really don’t. You don’t have to like me on Facebook. You don’t have to do any of that. If you disagree with how I handle something or the way a moment went down, you can say that and you don’t have to call me a b****. You don’t have to call me a lowlife. You don’t have to call me a hood rat. You don’t have to call me out my name to get your point across.”

Interjection: Is this the same woman who addressed Keisha with b****, b****, and more b****? OK, just checking. Carry on.

“I can take any type of criticism as long as you’re respectful to me,” she continued, “but people have a tendency to chastise and belittle us and not really realizing they’re doing the [bullying].”

Mmmmkay Tami. If you say so.

    Tami is full of excuses. Should every one take into consideration how Adolf Hitler was raised??? Would that excuse his atrocities, and the murder of millions of innocent people??? Tami is just a selfish, ghetto, psychotic BULLY!!! The only contribution she has made to television is having an Abortion on The Real World, and getting the only Black guy, David kicked off the show. Tami is a mean, cruel, evil, ignorant, immature person! Shaunie, and Evelyn are just as responsible for not telling Tami-the-terrible, that she was wrong. Poor Kesha, to have to endure that kind of Bully Abuse. I would have called the Police on Tami so fast her weave would have fell off!!!!!

    there is not enough crazy folks in the world to support Tami’s behavoir–she is wack and is bringing the show DOWN!! She is acting like she has feelings when she never considers anyone elses

    Hope she saved some of the money she has made, because no one wants a Tami on their show–BBW is probably considering letting her wack butt go now….and her kids are too old for her to go back to her foodstamps and welfare checks..so she better get her anger management in check so when she works at Mikkie D’s she doesn’t get fired from flipping burgers..

    I have never seen a grown woman that acts like  low class trash. Nothing but a BULLY. She need to step at a woman that is not scared of you. Intimidating people who are afraid of you  makes you a coward. I feel sorry for your children they have a mother that acts like gutter trash. Youre a excellent roll model. TRASH

    Tami,
    Just when I thought your behavior could not get worse…you proved me wrong.  What makes you think that  you can take someone’s personal belongings and not be held accountable?   Hell you would not want anyone to do that to you.  Your behavior was  criminal and to get angry because you were being reported to the authorities is ludicrous.  This mindset that you have of settling things in the street shows pure ignorance.   You have daughters that I assume look up to you for guidance and clearly you are setting a horrible example.  Shame on you. You need a team of psychiatrist working around the clock.  Although I am not a physician, I think it would be more than appropriate to prescribe you Prozac in golf ball sizes.

    Its embarassing how tamy behaves. She is a hoodrat in heels, last week and tonights episode she acted like and animal…..she is a disgrace to human kind. Ie hope her daughters realize how ridiculous their mother looks and never, ever act like that. She needs to be caged.

    Tami Roman has got to be the most disgusting human being on reality tv today. I am absolutely ashamed for her and her family….. what she did to that poor girl was inexcusable and just sad, very sad and for Shaunie and the others to sit back and watch this grown woman reduce this girl to tears and humiliation….I’m just beside myself with anger and loathing for these women. The world was watching tonight….let reality begin….for all of you!!

  • Ivy970

    Tamy is crazy, she needs a shrink quick. She is dellusional……

    Tami……..You are delusional! You need to apologize to that woman.  Suzy.  Grow up and shut your mouth!  Stop going back and forth and starting trouble between and with everyone. Wow!  She needs to be accepted and to fit in that bad, that she would hurt someone else? Believe me……..they have no respect for her at all. None whatsoever!
    My opinion and feelings for Shaunie have changed drastically. She allowed that woman to be humiliated like that on national television and contributed to the madness.  So sad. Then they all try to feel bad for her after they took part in it.  They should all be ashamed of themselves.  Yes Tami was wrong, 100% wrong. All of this because Suzy opened her mouth once again to create disharmony and discord. Her turn will come soon. watch.

    The fact that Tami Roman would actually make a comment that she is tired of being bullied. WOW! She talks about everyone and anyone when she wants to, but it’s ok. With her and Kesiha as well as it has proven to be with everyone that she has bullied.  ”damn if you do and damn if you don’t”.  What is sad that no one will tell her that she is wrong. Shaunie who is supposed to be the matriarch of the group won’t open her mouth and when she does, what does she say? She feeds her and adds fuel.
    ” THE SEED YOU SOW IS THE ONE THAT YOU WILL ALSO REAP”.  That is such a true statement. Then to take this woman’s pocketbook…….Wow!, and this is ok? These are supposedly grown behind woman.  Instead of the other woman being true friends, because a true friend would tell you that you are wrong. Suzy, who is the most toe faced person in the world, should be ashamed of herself.  All to fit in to the group.  How insecure can you be?  To behave the way she is behaving (Tami), demonstrates her immaturity, her insecurity and her lack of integrity as a woman.  Yes, we all understand what you have gone through in the past and we are sympathetic and empathetic.  Believe me.  But that does not give you a passport to mistreat anyone.  Many woman have been through the same things…..we get help. Aren’t you supposed to be getting help?  You sit there to talk and listen to the therapist, yet you do the opposite.  That’s sad.  Just act like the bully that you are and stop wasting everyone’s time.  Stop trying to gain sympathy from your audience without making an effort to change your behavior, which is totally reckless.
    For someone that does not want to be bullied,  she certainly demonstrates her ability to do it well. People have killed themselves over being bullied.  It’s not a joke and it is hurtful.  Bottom line Tami..treat people the way that you want to be treated. If you don’t want to be talked about and bad mouthed, then don’t talk about and bad mouth others.  If you don’t want to be bullied, don’t bully others. TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY THAT YOU WANT TO BE TREATED! What is very offensive is the behavior of Shaunie. I’am sooooo disappointed! Tami taunted this woman until the end.  She humiliated this woman on national television, and not one of them did a thing.  Not one of them said a word.  Not one of them.  That was the saddest display of human behavior that I have ever seen. If they were Tami’s friends, they would have stopped her.  Someone needs to tell her that she is wrong.  Someone needs to tell her the truth and stop condoning her behavior.

    You cant expect people to take your life story into consideration, when you dont even do that yourself. You know Kesha was not raised as you were. Shes literally being attacked because she WONT cuss you out and WONT get in your face. Thats not her. She doesnt throw drinks. She doesnt leap across the table and use alcohol as an excuse for terrible disgusting behavior. If you know you have all these issues, then why arent you working them out somewhere. Why are you on a tv show where people judge you.

    Every one seems to forget how she did Meeka Claxton also. Since MTV’s real world Tami has been the spokeswoman for Rachet behavior
