Meet Brooke Bailey, The Newest Member of “Basketball Wives LA”

A new face seen hanging with the crew of “Basketball Wives LA” this weekend will be a permanent one on the set of the reality TV show during the second season. We already knew at least one or two ladies would be added to the cast since Metta World Peace’s wife Kimsha went MIA after about two episodes, as did Tanya Williams, and VH1 confirmed that the new person is Brooke Bailey.

Keeping with the trend of not having actual wives on the show, Brooke is not married. I’m not even sure she’s in a relationship, because according to Sister 2 Sister, she sounds more like a former sidepiece.

“[I]t’s her affiliation with NBA baller Rashard Lewis that likely qualifies her to co-star on “Basketball Wives: L.A.,” they wrote.

“Back in 2010, Brooke was accused of coming between Rashard and his girlfriend, who was pregnant with his child at the time.  While Rashard may have been discreet about his dealings with Brooke, she’s said to have been quite overt, sitting on the sidelines at games to root for her man.”

Considering the way the cast came at Draya when they first met her, Brooke likely didn’t receive a warm welcome to the group, although from the looks of photos during her birthday pool party at the Bikini Swim Club in Los Angeles, they appear to all be buddy-buddy at this point. All that’s known about Brooke is she is a video model who previously appeared on E!’s reality show “Candy Girls” back in 2009. She’s also appeared in music videos by 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Mims, Akon, and Rich Boy. So yeah, Draya 2.0.

One person who’s missing from the photo above is Imani Showalter, and according to VH1′s blog she’s reportedly not returning to the show. Three ladies down and one new replacement? Maybe less girls will mean less drama. What do you think?

  • Sunshine

    • alwyzaladee

      Ha! ha! ha! I went there too. You said it right girl

    • Pimkcotton

      Yep went to pacific beauty school with her. And yes that’s lashawn. She been a rat!

  • Losh

    I used to watch these shows, but the side effects of chest pain, headaches, and nausea and dizziness were too much for me.

  • Treacle234

    Gloria’s body is fit! I cannot wait for this season to start.

    • Kaay

      Agreed, but she should consider savinf the two-piece for family functions and not TV. The bottom of her belly only reminds people she has four kids and no husband.

    • Kaay

      Woops! I’m confusing Glo for her sis. Forgot her name. Yes, Glo looks good.

    I am so glad Kimsha and Tanya has the sense to leave this foolishness. This is just as bad as the Miami version. Some of these women were not wives,not even finacees, just mainly a side. piece. These reality tv shows, can really stoop low to name a show with the word “wife” in but nobody is even or actually been a wife. So, now you have to screw some athletes and be classified as a wife on these show when they are not. How crazy that sounds. Just more women acting ignorant and foolish just to make a quick buck. All it take now to flash $$$ in the face to be in a reality tv show and you are on. It is really sad. I won’t be watching this foolishness. I suggest to people not to watch this or the Miami version. Shaunie O’neal ( i believe she is the one of the executive producers of this show as well) is continually getting very rich off these women being ignorant and foolish.

    Why do any black women lower themselves to appear in or watch this filth. We need to examine why the media wants to push such negative stereotypes about us and why we buy into it.

  • realadulttalk

    WAIT!!! They brought Crazy Jackie back??? WOW!!! Why did they not airbrush Laura’s stretch marks?? Why is someone with that many stretch marks in a 2 piece?? Brooke and Malaysia may wanna start buying their swimsuits as separates…they are about to expose their breasts.

    • sammi_lu

      lol..if she was confident enough to rock that two piece with those tiger stripes on full display kudos to her for embracing her body’s imperfections. She just seasoned with the gift of childbirth =)

  • NikkitaMichelle

    Laura looks like a man. Glad she lost the weight, but she’s still not cute.

  • mindypatterson

    oh joy!! another pair of ranchey hood rats,to join a show that proudly embraces stupidity,foolishness,children being born out of wedlock and hyping up the tacky,trash behavior while still trying to claim themselves as.”classy” women.

    • Angel

      I dont think (with this show atleast) that the media is trying to hurt black women. I mean most of the women on this show arent black and they behave horribly. The only black women on this show are Jackie and Malaysia and(despite Jackies issues) I loved both of them…idk….

    • Leila

      “ranchey” LOL
