Shaunie O’Neal Addresses This Season’s Controversies And Promises A More Balanced Show!

It’s hard to ignore the tension between the women in the cast of Basketball Wives this season, and the subject of fighting amongst the women was brought up at today’s taping of the reunion special. Shaunie O’Neal, creator, producer, and occasional bystander and witness to this fighting addressed the issue head-on. In this exclusive clip which was taped just hours ago at the Basketball Wives reunion, Shaunie spoke out about the situation and said “I feel that all these ladies take responsibility for what their actions are…and after seeing ourselves this season, it definitely was a lot more bad than good.” She continued “I’ve really tried to preach the whole ‘Let’s get some balance’ and now I think my voice is resonating.” Watch the clip above to see the full statement Shaunie told the audience today. In addition, VH1 and Shed Media who co-produce the show have both released statements about the current media attention the show has received. From Shed: “Shed Media US is fully committed to telling the compelling stories of the Basketball Wives in a balanced way.
Our producing partner Shaunie O’Neal feels strongly about this, and we fully agree with this stance. We support her as she encourages the cast members to work out issues in a non-violent fashion. We look forward to working with her and the rest of the cast on conveying more balance in the next season.” VH1 also weighs in, saying: “Our viewers opinions always matter a great deal to us at VH1. Lately, there has been a lot of conversation about Basketball Wives, a series featuring strong, intelligent women with very passionate viewpoints which can sometimes escalate. We at VH1 agree with and support Shaunie and the show producers’ “no excessive physical confrontations” policy on the series moving forward. We are all committed to balancing the candid, bold excitement that the viewers have come to love in the series with storylines and representations they can be proud of. Shaunie has been a strong advocate for a more balanced approach to the show and we, along with our producing partners at Shed Media, are all in agreement about moving forward with that goal.”

OF COURSE I LOVE THIS SHOW, BUT I HATE BULLIES DEF WHEN THE BULLIES GO AFTER PHYSICALLY WEAK PEOPLE (JENNIFER WILLIAMS & KESHA). I MEAN EVELYN & TAMI IF YALL REALLY WANNABE BULLIES, BULLY SOMEONE WHO YOU KNOW IS GOING TO BE STRONG AND FIGHT BACK. BECAUSE ME, IM A REAL WOMAN AND IF I FIND MYSELF BEING A BULLY (WHICH I WOULD NEVER BE) I WOULD FIND SOMEONE MY OWN SIZE, AND WHO WILL BE A CHALLENGE. UNLESS YOU LOOK STUPID, IGNORANT & A COWARD BASICALLY BEATING UP A DAM DEAD HORSE, WHAT FUN IS IT IF ITS JUST LAYING THERE NOT FIGHTING BACK. AND MOST OF ALL WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT OUR SOCIETY. MILLIONS OF KIDS EVERYDAY COMMITS SUICIDE BECAUSE OF THE BULLYING GOT OUT OF CONTROL, AND WE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHOM WATCH THESE KIDS CRY OUT FOR HELP ON FACEBOOK & TWITTER. AND WE ACT AS IF WE CARE AND WANT TO HELP THESE KIDS, BUT HOW IN THE WORLD CAN WE STOP BULLYING IN THE SCHOOLS WITH OUR KIDS IF WE AS ADULTS CANT STOP BEING THE BULLY OR BEING BULLIED!
