Get Out Your Brooms: Basketball Wives L.A. Is Cleaning House!

October 28th, 2012 - By Drenna Armstrong

Listen up: If you’re currently having intimate correspondence with an NBA player, current or former, you might want to send an application in to VH1.

According to TMZ, the producers of Basketball Wives: LA will be giving walking papers to FOUR cast members. That’s right, Gloria Govan, Laura Govan, Malaysia Pargo and Brooke Bailey will be told, “Thanks but your services are no longer needed” as it pertains to their roles on the show.  Wait, do you see the “will be” in the previous sentences? Yes, that’s because the producers apparently haven’t even told the women that they no longer have a job. Ohhhh, the “scandalocity” (yes, I made it up) of it all!

Sources told TMZ that the primary catalyst behind this – the straw that broke the camel’s back, if you will – was when Gloria skipped out of town to have a quickie Vegas wedding to now husband, Matt Barnes.  She didn’t let producers know that it would be happening so, of course, they weren’t able to film anything.  They felt very disrespected by it and because they felt like she, along with the other ladies weren’t allowing “all of their reality to be filmed,” they had to go.

So, that only leaves Jackie and Draya while producers look to find replacements “wives” for next season.  They probably should go ahead and make the decision to cancel the show altogether since the ratings were so terrible.

But for the sake of entertaining ourselves, do you have any replacements in mind? Please note, that if you nominate yourself, we’ll all be up in the comments asking for “the tea” on who you’re creeping with. Let’s hear it!

    I haven’t really kept up with this season of Basketball
    Wives simply because it has been pretty boring. My roommate on the other hand
    is devoted to anything that has the word “housewives” in it. So our Hopper has
    been set to record every episode of the show this season and she usually
    catches up after work. In my opinion this show should have gotten the axe as a
    whole after three or so episodes. All the women on this show are crazy and don’t
    really have anything to offer other than the drama. How can you justify keeping
    this show on the air when the ratings have abysmal? My DISH co-worker is pretty
    excited that the Govan sisters may be on their way out. Either way, I don’t
    care. This show wasn’t on my must-watch list anyway. I do have to say that I don’t
    blame the network for being angry about a secret wedding, There isn’t a whole
    lot of reality going on if they can’t film it. Maybe someone should explain to
    Gloria the concept of reality TV.

    I like both Gavon sisters, Gloria has come a long way she does not come off snooty to me anymore. I her sister as well what you see is what you get. I like how both stand there ground and they are coming into there own as women. Not getting into all the he say she say. I just think they are cool. Malaysia is a sweet heart. What no drama, there men stepping up, what they are getting on with real life NOT TV drama. Come on guys we can do better

    This show simply needs to go!

  • clove8canela

    Why isn’t Jackie on this list?? She looked absolutely ridiculous trying to fight a child. Smh…

  • Tamz

    Just cancel the show. This season is so wack anyway, who’s going to miss it?

  • Patrica

    I wish they would stop using the term “wives” when the majority of them are not wives either in Miami or LA. They need to cancel both shows in my opinion.

      I guess called it Basketball Groupies would have been offensive to them.

    • ms lisa

      yeh they need to call it basketball girlfriends, jump offs, and baby mamas!

  • Mel

    No sane person puts their marriage on reality tv, it looks like Gloria finally realized this. If it means she gets dropped from the show, that’s probably best in the long run. Who wants to be associated with backbiting, gossip, bitterness and foul language all day long? There’ve got to be better ways to make a buck.

    Better yet, stay home and raise your kids.

  • queenietoo

    The Govan sisters think they are way too pretty for words and Jackie she’s just all out and out nuts, they all need to go they all have the worst attitude of them all.

  • Yea…Ok

    How do you actually give the WIVES the boot, when the show is entitled “Basketball Wives?” .. Lemme find out Shaunie a Bitter Betty now.

    Just to think, If I was a little fast in the behind girl in high school like the others I could be on TV for dating Mr Almario Chalmers. Too bad I thought he was cocky and his “friends” gave me hell in high school.

  • Meyaka

    Wow,I don’t see why they want the Govan sisters and Malaysia out,if anything Brooke,draya and Bambi are out of place.

    • JaneDoe

      I agree.. At this point the show should just be cancelled.

  • Kenda

    Lmao that the high & mighty Govan sisters are out. They need to go. I think it should just be canceled. It’s been boring since the beginning compared to BBW Miami.

      the govan sisters get on my nerves

  • http://mommaused2say.com/ Mommaused2say

    The fact that they kept Jackie says it all! They like the crazy factor and that one there is off the rails! I tried to watch but I get too irritated and have to switch.

  • Reese

    I have never gotten into BBW and I have found myself watching “reality” TV shows less and less. It’s the same drama just a different show.

  • Guest

    Hmm, I liked Brooke and Malaysia. The two sisters can go. I don’t know if I’ll watch the show now because I don’t even really like Jackie and Draya that much…oh well.
