I’m a little shocked that Malaysia is still on the show but she is a fan favorite. She is one of the few in the series to be actually more than a Baby Mama. She is married to Jannero Pargo and the two have three children. She named her three beats Jewelry line after them. They represent her three heart beats. It’s a children’s jewelry line.

1. Malaysia took Brandi’s spot on the first season of Basketball Wives LA.  Although we are just getting to meet Brandi surprisingly it was Brandi who got Malaysia on the series in the first place. Malaysia and Brandi were close friends and it was Brandi who auditioned for the show. Basketball Wives producers felt she needed a friend to be considered for the series. Well unfortunately Brandi was still turned down and the producers went with Malaysia instead.
2. Her net worth is $3 million. The majority of her earnings are from her husband NBA player Jannero who currently plays for the Charlotte Bobcats.  He’s been with over 11 teams in his 12 year NBA career which is not a good look. He’s played overseas and recently was cut from the Atlanta Hawks and is playing for the Bobcats who currently have one of the worst stats in the league.  His current salary is $1.3 million. Over his career he’s only earned $17 million which is what the average NBA player makes a year.
3. Her current salary on the series is over $100,000. The show is in it’s third season and has went through some major cast changes. It was initially reported that the cast was changed to bring new drama to the series but there was already enough beefing and cat fighting going on in season 1 and two. The real issue was Laura, Gloria and Brooke wanted major pay raises and I’m talking about NeNe Leakes stuff. Since the show’s ratings were not enough to give out bonuses for the cast the producers felt it would be better to cut the beef and in turn pay less for fresh faces. Jackie, Draya and Malaysia currently are paid over $100k for the current season.
4. Malaysia met her husband Jannero at a party in Los Angeles. He was recently drafted to thee Los Angeles Lakers and she was living in Compton California at the time.  Now almost 12 years later she has the ring and the three children to prove their legitimacy of their relationship. She is one of the few on the current season married to an NBA player.
5. Her little brother Jeremy Pargo lost his contract with the 76ers in 2013.  After just 3 years in the NBA he is now in Russia with a much smaller contract. He was earning $2 million in 2012 with the 76ers and is now earning $200K.

Let’s keep it real, the only reason we watch these reality shows is for the drama. It’s like watching real life turnt up to a 1000. But sometimes we forget these are real people. The ladies have all admitted that Brandi is the most boring and most bourgeoisie of the cast. And Draya says the only thing she can say about her is she’s tall. So I’m not sure if she will be returning next season. Outside of how the girls feel about her Brandi Maxiell has more going for her than we think.

1. She survived Ovarian Cancer. Her diagnosis maybe the reason why she’s put up such a wall when meeting the other girls. The cancer started in her reproductive areas and affected her eggs. She was fortunate to be diagnosed with stage 1 which made the treatment much easier.

2. Her net worth is $2.5 million. She is currently a housewife but her net worth and earnings are shared between her husband Jason who is in the NBA. In 2013 according to his current contract he earns $2.5 million from the Orlando Magic. She stays in LA with their children while he is in Florida during the regular season.

3. She has fertility issues. The reason Brandi and her husband moved to Los Angeles was to go through fertility treatment. Because of the damaged cause when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer Brandi was told she couldn’t have children anymore. But with the plethora of breakthroughs in the healthcare industry there were a few centers in and around Los Angeles that was known for having a high success rate for pregnancies.

4. Best friends with Malaysia Pargo. After salary demands from former cast members Bambi, Laura, Gloria and Brooke VH1 was forced to make some cuts. They gave the show’s vets Jackie, Draya and Malaysia pay raises and added the newcomers. The girls were also asked to give suggestions for new cast members. Since Malaysia and Brandi were close friends and also a wife of an NBA player it seemed like a perfect match. But unfortunately the chemistry with the other ladies is not there. Brandi claims the others weren’t as welcoming of her.

5. Married to NBA baller Jason Maxiell. Jason was drafted to the NBA in 2005 and he met his current wife Brandi when he was in high school. He was an all star athlete and garnered major attention during his high school career. He was initially signed to Detroit Pistons who he played with until 2013. He was then traded to the Orlando Magic who he currently plays.

Season 3 of Basketball Wives LA has just begun and unlike the original Basketball Wives this franchise might have some lasting power. Last season of Basketball Wives was a complete disaster and newcomer Tasha Marbury did nothing to help boost ratings. But LA newcomer Brittish Williams might become a fixture on the series and a new fan favorite. Brittish is on her way to becoming a wife to boyfriend Lorenzo Gordon, she has several businesses so she does more than sit on her a**. Most reality stars suddenly start working on music careers, acting or begin writing a book as soon as the cameras are turned on but Brittish’ career has always been turnt up. Her net worth is $300,000. She wants to be known as more than just a wife.

From interviews with castmates Brittish can get a little turnt up. Draya and Malaysia describe her as loud, ghetto and even ratchet. Ouch!! She says she gets her temper from her mother who had a bad temper. But Brittish claims its just a respect issue and if she doesn’t feel she’s getting the respect she deserves she will let you have it. Another problem she’s only 23 years old which might explain her behavior.

LoveofLabels.com, is an online store that caters to a large demographic. The store sales clothing and fashion for affordable prices. But there is a little problem which might slow her online store from growing. She was reported to the Better Business Bureau. The company has an F rating with the Bureau. On the site it claims shipment takes 14 days but clients have reported that they have waited 9 months for their items. In her defense Brittish says the online sales have grown tremendously and she didn’t have the staff to ship things accordingly dealing with the high demand. Which is complete BS. Customers have also complained about the poor quality of the merchandise. The stuff is poorly and cheaply made and to charge $50 for a sweater that was made in a Chinese Factory for $1.00 is completely absurd. Customers also say the customer service is poor and despicable and it’s almost impossible to get a response from the online retailer. Lawd so drama already girl?

She started Love of Labels to create online retailer for her shoe line that she’s been working on. But honestly if the shoes are going to be as cheap as the current merchandise I think it’s best to hold off. Brittish has been a fan of fashion since she was a little girl. She is currently working on a shoe line called Privia couture. Williams is making the shoe line which prices will be comparative to Steve Madden between $50-$100.

Williams says the name comes from the Russion word for Hello privet. I don’t understand where she gets the privia out of privet but okay. She has a lot going on and fans will get to witness her busy life while she filmed season 3 of BBWIVES LA.

We are now emerging into the third season of Basketball Wives LA, the spin off franchise of Basketball Wives which originally took place in Miami. The original series featuring Shaunie and Evelyn seemed to lose major ratings in it’s 5th season and unfortunately VH1 had to give it the plug. The ladies didn’t even get to have a reunion. But VH1 is hoping the LA cast will continue the franchise as Love & Hip Hop seems to be VH1’s hottest show. The show returns with it’s regulars Draya, Malaysia and Jackie but there is a few newcomers. Sundy Carter of all the girls might be the most interesting. She’s had the best career with over 20 years in the acting biz. Also Sundy was not a wife to an NBA player but a MISTRESS! OH LAWD! So who is this woman?

Sundy Carter was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1972. Although her age isn’t public in a small interview she did following the release of State Property she stated she was then 21 in 2002.

Sundy began acting in her 20’s. She got her first movie role on Damon Dash’s film State Property and returned for the sequel. She worked with A listers in her brief movie career like Queen Latifah, Steve Martin and Kevin Hart in Soul Plane. She played a stripper in the outrageous comedy. She went on to do independent low budget films but began modeling in men’s magazines to pay the bills.

In 2007 Sundy Carter got pregnant by then Charlotte Bobcats player Larry Hughes. At the time Larry was married but he never claimed the child or admitted to having an affair with Sundy. In 2010 he flew to Los Angeles telling his wife he was going to Nelly’s album release party. He did show up on the red carpet but according to Bossip Larry was visiting Sundy and their three year daughter Kennedy Carter. If this ain’t dirty then I don’t know what is.

Sundy also has two other daughters Deja and KK Carter. Deja is her oldest, and currently works as a back up dancer for Disney star Zendaya Carter. She and the Disney star are best friends and hack each other twitter accounts. Sundy’s second daughter KK is trying to be a singer, she recently posted two covers on youtube. She’s a big Usher Fan.

In 2013 while Basketball Wives LA was in hiatus the producers asked the cast to scout some fersh faces for the series. Jackie Christie was close friends with Sundy and had known for since she began dating Larry Hughes. This season with the new cast members and all the drama she might be Jackie’s only friend and because of that she is constantly the target of many of the attacks. This season we can expect to see all her dirty laundry air dry on television.

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

Since her ascension from stripper to reality star Draya Michele has rarely spoke about her personal life, besides who she sleeps with, and her son Kniko. The now 11 year old has grown up and almost a teenager. Draya refused to release any pictures of her son or even mention him on her social media pages. Lately she’s been more open responding to the reports of her child neglect allegations. Draya has even posted pics of the young man Kniko on her instagram.

On season 1 of Basketball Wives LA Draya made her arrival late in the season. After VH1 producers didn’t see an interesting story line with a few of the cast members they dropped them and added a younger and more controversial replacement. She had dated several basketball players and her son Kniko’s father is Gilbert Arenas.  So it was pretty perfect.

Although you have heard all about the police report following Draya’s arrest for child neglect and abuse most people don’t know what’s been going on with her growing son Kniko. Well Draya lately has been more candid with her relationship with him and claims she’s become a better parent.

Kniko with Orlando’s twin daughters!

1. Orlando Scandrick treats him like his own son. Although people see Draya as another jump off for Dallas Cowboys player Orlando Scandrick he has a lot of respect for her son. He has twin daughters of his own and has welcomed Draya’s excess baggage and son Kniko into his family. During the off season which started early for Cowboys who lost a chance at the playoffs, he babysits. Orlando takes Kniko shopping for back to school and he’s even helped Draya enroll him in school in Los Angeles while Draya lives with him. Before then Kniko was living in Pennsylvania with Draya’s mom who had custody of him. Orlando’s own mother has met Kniko and already calls him her grandson. So is Draya really a jump off?

2. Gilbert Arenas is the real father of Kniko. Although it was very sketchy early on who was he father of Draya’s neglected son, the reality star admitted Gilbert Arenas was the father in 2011.

3. Kniko is a basketball fan. Being that his father is an NBA legend and his mom stars on a show called Basketball Wives it’s almost inevitable that Kniko would take a liking to the sport. At 11 years old he already has a lot of height on him which would make him a perfect basketball player. Kniko starts middle school in fall of 2014 and Draya and Orlando are already looking for a middle school with a good sports program in the Los Angeles area.

4. Draya still is not listed as his guardian. After the incident in 2011 when Kniko who was 7 called the Philadelphia police at 2am stating he was home alone, a judge ordered Draya’s mother to be granted full custody of her son. The report alleges Kniko called his mom 20 times and she told him she would be home soon. He was left at home for three days straight. I’m pretty sure Draya has plans to get back custody of her son since she seems a little bit more mature now.

5. Last but not least Kniko gets $40,000 a month. In 2012 Arenas’ last reported salary in the NBA was over $20 million. He signed a three year contract with Orlando Magic in 2011 reportedly worth $62 million. But in 2012 Gilbert is currently inactive in the NBA. If he were still under his contract he would have earned nearly $23 million this year. After one year with Orlando his contract was voided. But since his career started in 2001 he has made over $70 million in the NBA which is why the courts awarded Draya $40K in child support. In 2014 he has the option of getting it lowered since he is no longer employed but I highly doubt his bank statements would prove he couldn’t pay it.
