More Changes To The BBW Cast? Evelyn Says She Doesn’t Know If She’ll Return
Try to hold back your tears. After a very rough fourth season of “Basketball Wives,” the cast went into overtime trying to make sure they’d keep their jobs for at least one more round, crying and apologizing everywhere they went. But despite that sorry show, Evelyn claims she’s unsure about returning to the franchise.
In an interview with radio host Egypt on V-103, Evelyn spoke on the likelihood of her returning for season five and said:
“You know, I honestly don’t know because we don’t know what the cast is going to look like. Negotiations start I think August, September.”
Although we think we know at least some of what the cast won’t look like, considering the news that Jen, Royce, and Keisha got the axe, Evelyn cautioned:
“That wasn’t really confirmed just yet,” she said, adding that the cuts would make sense though. “You know I heard the same thing. After a while, your storyline starts becoming repetitive. People get bored. I open up all aspects of my life so you see me happy, sad, you know. You see everything about me, but certain cast members don’t open up like that, or can’t due to legal reasons.”
One thing she didn’t expose on the show was how Chad proposed but that’s likely because it wasn’t all that special. She told Egypt:
“I wish I had a really romantic story to tell you, but it’s not so romantic. A jeweler came to the house, had a few rings. He had my ring in a separate box. I, of course, chose that one. (Chad) had a headset on and he was like, ‘You like it?’ and I was like, ‘Yep’ and I put it on and he goes, ‘Okay cool,’ and he started playing Call of Duty.”
That may have actually been entertaining to see.
Although there hasn’t been much buzz at all about the couple’s upcoming spinoff show lately, Evelyn insists it’s still on. I imagine having her own show is about the only thing that would keep her from returning to “Basketball Wives.” After all she’s the biggest emm-effing factor, right?
Do you think Evelyn is bluffing about not knowing if she’ll return?
