The most controversial and odd cast member on the series Jackie Christie. The lady who considers herself a mentor to the women as if there is something major she’s achieved to giver that title. Despite the attacks and digs that the other women make towards her on a regular off camera cast members Malaysia, Draya, Gloria and Laura admit they keep in touch with her and occasionally get together. Jackie’s smack talking might not get her the most likes but it’s done something to keep her on the series for the third season. VH1 reportedly offered her over $100,000 in the third season.

She was born Jackie Lee in 1969 in Seattle Washington. After high school Jackie had done modeling. Her oldest daughter Takari Lee is not the daughter of her current husband Doug. She was born in 1990 and is Jackie’s first child. Jackie did not have a relationship with Takari’s dad but Takari claims she kept in touch with her father growing up. It was Jackie’s mother who passed away in 2012 that took care of Takari while Jackie was on the road with Doug. They eventually had two children together Chantal and Douglas Christie Jr who was home schooled until he was 11.

Takari currently has two sons. She had her first when she was 22 and her mom Jackie allowed her to stay in one of Jackie’s homes that she owned in California.

Jackie and Doug met when her daughter was 3 and he proposed to her in 1996. They married just three days later.

Jackie and her husband former NBA player Doug Christie have been married for 19 years. Each year the couple celebrate their anniversary with another marriage ceremony. Fans got a glimpse over their over zealous ceremonies on the first two seasons of the show. It’s rare to find relationships, especially with professional athletes, last but Jackie says she knows how to take care of her man. During the height of Doug’s career he loved her so much that he even asked Jackie to travel with him. I guess he was not feeling any groupie love.

During Doug’s NBA career rumors circulated that Jackie was extremely protective of her man attending every game. So much so that she wouldn’t let female reporters interview him.

The two of them met through a mutual friend named Stevie P. Stevie went to high school with Doug and told Jackie he would be perfect for her. She was modeling at the time and Doug was really into fashion. In her story Stevie talked about Doug’s reputation in school, how he wore nice cologne and clothes and was smooth with the ladies. He was a basketball star and at the time he was in college. When Doug came back home to Seattle to visit family during the Winter break Stevie called Jackie to meet them at a local Sports Bar. They had their first date at the movies.

It was a match made in heaven and Doug was open to Jackie’s daughter Takari.

She claims the secret to their marriage is their friendship. Jackie and her husband do everything together, shop, watch movies, workout and party. She also believes he’s never cheated on her and swears she’s never been with anyone else during their marriage. Doug is the love of her life. Jackie’s purpose for joining the show was to change people’s perception of basketball wives. She has her own business and success outside of her man.

Jackie and Doug had their own reality series on BET called ‘The Christie’s Committed.’ The reality series documented the couple balancing their personal lives with business endeavors. The show only survived for 6 episodes being cancelled before BET could air the official season finale. The short stint on television encouraged Jackie to become a television producer. She pitched several show ideas to various networks but nothing caught on.

Jackie became a book publisher in 2007. She and Doug co-wrote their first book “No Ordinary Love” detailing their relationship. She had also began writing 4 other books that never published.

In 2011 Jackie was approached by VH1 producers to be on Basketball Wives LA. At the time Jackie claims she never watched the original version with Evelyn and Shaunie. Now in it’s third season Jackie has milked just about every business venture she could. She started her own fashion line, began writing more books and even developed a porn with her husband Doug. TMI!!!!!!!!!!

We are now in the third season of VH1’s Basketball Wives LA. After watching the premiere episode in 2011 I was sure that might be the last season of the series. Three years later the show continues and Jackie Christie, the most hated cast member, is still around and earning big bucks. Although ratings declined in season 2 VH1 cut a few cast members to allow Draya Michele and Jackie Christie to return with a pay raise. It was reported Jackie and Draya’s salary is over $100,000 this season. But Jackie is doing so much more than airing her dirty laundry on tv. She’s come along ways in her career from being just an NBA player’s wife. Today she is running multiple businesses, even though most of them have failed, Jackie is still pushing forward with something new every minute. Talk about chasing money!

1. Jackie was the third person cast on the series.
2. The craziest groupie moment during her husband’s NBA career happened during the height of his career. She and her husband were checking into a hotel and someone had already checked in as Jackie Christie.  The woman was allegedly planning on meeting Doug Christie by herself hoping she would be sexually persuasive enough to get him to have s-e-x with her. Jackie walked with Hotel security to the room to see if the woman was there. Surprisingly she was standing outside the room door trying to enter with the key but it wasn’t working since it had gotten wet in the lady’s purse.  Jackie claims she didn’t get physical while security was there.
3.  Despite her altercations with cast member Tanya from season 1, she still keeps in touch with her. Does anyone remember Tanya? She was the annoying muscular one with the red and blonde braids, ewww! Yeah it was her.  Jackie says she and Tanya were friends before and met each other in NY but their relationship escalated around the cameras and the other women.
4. Her daughter Chantal dated Draya’s current boyfriend Orlando Scandrick. It is one of the  most talked about moments on the show when Jackie explains the situation to Draya. It escalates into a brawl that is sooooooo petty. But today Draya is still with Orlando and Jackie claims she is still good friends with her.
5. Draya gave Jackie her first sex toy. It happened during filming on season 1 Draya gave Jackie a sex toy for her and Doug to use and she claims the toy has gotten major action from her. YIKES!! TMI
