In today’s episode we have got one of the hottest wives on the Basketball Court on, Eva Marion! Plus Elle Stonewood and Kathy Irvine rejoin Tyler, and TT to dish on the hottest thoughts since they have been gone! All that and more starts now!

Tyler Newman, Jac Carter, Kathy Irvine, Taylor “TT” Thompson, Elle Stonewood

Elle: HI HI HII! HEY HEY HEYY! We are BACK for another AMAZING episode of Reality of Roleplay! I’m your panelist Elle Stonewood and I am SO happy to be back! Thank you once again for Tre holding down the fort last week with our incredible panelists TT, Tyler.. and Jac! Kathy I know the fans missed you but I know you loved your week off! How are all of you today? Obviously we’re missing our girl Jac but..

TT: Happy Jac isn’t here! I’m ready to dive in!

Tyler: *laughs* It’s always great to be with sister Tre. And happy to see you two back! Me and Taylor been holding down the fort.

Kathy: Oh I got lots of messages on my vacation about Jac’s behavior. It was something to say the least! I was glad Tre freed her schedule to come by and hang with you girls! We were excited when she agreed to a cameo! I’m also ready to dive in today! I think we should go ahead and bring out our special guest today! What do you girls say!

Elle: Yesss!!! I am ready to get into it!

Tyler: Do it mama!

TT: We are ready!

Kathy: All the way from the basketball courts to the streets it’s Eva Marion from Basketball Wives Twitter! Let’s welcome her out!

TT: *claps* oh Lordy! Not Eva!

Eva “THEE Diva” Marion from BBWT

Eva: *struts out and flips hair* Hello ladies! *hugs each of them* Thank you so much for having me! *sits*

Tyler: *claps and stands to hug Eva* Welcome doll! Great to see you! You look amazing

Kathy: Oh hello blue! *hugs Eva* have a seat over there by Elle!

Elle: *scoots chair out* Yass Eva the DIVAAA, over here by meee!

Eva: Thank you, thank you ladies!

Kathy: How are you feeling after the reunion special has aired? We are going to dive into the season a little bit more in a bit!

Eva: It’s bittersweet! I definitely enjoyed filming this season, but it being my last reunion there’s definitely some sadness there for me

Kathy: Well you looked fabulous at the reunion! We’ve got some topics to get into. Are you ready for a jam packed episode!?

Eva: Always ready honey!

Tyler: Let’s dish. *sips my coffee cup and laughs*

Elle: Let’s dive in! This week was the Baller Wives finale which left a lot to be discussed… Obviously, one of the biggest takeaways was Brittany saying that she is ready to file for divorce. What are you guys think of that? I am honestly not crazy surprised.

TT: I’m confused by that. They were here last week saying they had 3 more episodes! I do think however, Brittany has been cheating on her husband for a while and it’s not shocking she finally is calling it quits.

Gwen saying there is three more episodes left of Baller Wives on last weeks episode of Reality of Roleplay

Kathy: I was also confused by that too TT, I am wondering if there’s a reason production got straight to the point and ended the season, so abruptly. *laughs*

Eva: I thought the season was longer as well. I heard from Dana she filmed a lot more than what was shown. But it’s always sad seeing a marriage end, hopefully the divorce isn’t volatile

Tyler: After watching the season, it makes sense to see her getting a divorce. She had the cheating with Serenity Wilson’s “cousin,” she had scenes with Gwen and Riley that showed some tension — *looks at TT and Kathy* Maybe that wasn’t the end. *laughs*

Kathy: I don’t think the divorce should be a shocker to anyone who has watched Brittany since the beginning! I’m just surprised it took this long for them to get divorced!

Elle: As her friend, I think that I don’t think she wanted to end it. I think it was just running its course. With that being sad I hope and pray that they do things amicably, and there’s not a lot of scandal in the media.

TT: The network didn’t seem to be a big fan of this season it seemed in my opinion. The short and cut episode count, and the inconsistent airing schedule…that and the cast not really doing much promotion until like last week…too little too late it seemed?

Eva: Sounds like it! They filmed it in the beginning of the year too, there was a long space between filming and airing.

Kathy:At least I’ve got it on good word that Chicago is going to make up for Baller Wives Twitter this year!

Elle: Oop! Now that we’ll be tuning into!

Eva: I love the Chicago wives! They know how to put on a show

Tyler: Elle, you were out last week, let me ask you… as her friend, do you think Brittany cheated on Wyatt?

Elle: I think that.. neither of them.. were exactly staying within the same bedroom, and that’s all I’ll say on that.

Eva: You think it was an open marriage? *sips tea*

TT: *laughs* I don’t doubt they were both fucking other people! She was just constantly getting caught! *laughs*

Kathy: I have been watching that Secret Lives of Mormom Wives. Maybe Brittany and her man they might have been swingers who caught feelings for other people. *laughs*

Tyler: I heard Kathy and TT were swinging on MomTok with Wyatt. *winks*

Eva: Not swingers. This isn’t Mormon Wives it’s Baller Wives *laughs*

TT: *laughs* oh yeah baby Wyatt and I had a steamy night. Just kidding!

Kathy: *looks at the ladies* Well on that note let’s switch gears to Basketball Wives Twitter! Eva, I want to talk about in the finale you and Ana got into a pretty heated fight where you almost spit! Eva, why did what Ana do lead you to almost spitting in her face. Isn’t that a bit disrespectful?

TT: *Nods* I was shocked by that behavior.

Eva: Well let me say I was never going to spit on her. I motioned to it to let her know what I thought of her in the moment. I would never spit on another woman.

Kathy: I thought that was a bit unbecoming of you if I’m going to be honest! I’ve always thought highly of you!

Eva: I agree, definitely not my proudest moment. Ana and I have a long history and I’m very hurt by things that have been said and done.

Elle: Do you think you guys could have resolved it differently maybe?

Eva: Oh absolutely. Maybe in the future we’ll come to some resolution. I don’t hold a grudge.

Kathy: I always say with some time away from the cameras can always fix things!

Eva: You never know! We were good friends for a while before the show…

Tyler: I’ve also always said time heals all wounds! I live by it.

Eva: My main thing is you guys, Ana wants everyone to bow down and she doesn’t like that I’m friends with other people in our group. She was very upset with Bre and I got close. If you aren’t fighting with who Ana is fighting with, she takes it like you don’t have her back and I am exhausted with that.

Kathy: Do you think she’s a professional victim? It seemed at the reunion a majority of you ladies pointed out she was…

Eva: I think she definitely has a mentality that she can do no wrong and everyone else who has an issue is in the wrong. It’s not a coincidence she fought with every single cast member this season.

Tyler: We already know this is the end of your time on Basketball Wives, do you think Ana may be getting a pink slip to follow you out the door? *sips tea*

Eva: I may not be on good terms with her, but Ana adds a LOT to the show and the fans love her. I don’t think we will see her going anywhere, and I think she has an interesting story to tell too. I try to look at things from a producer standpoint too and put my personal feelings aside.

TT: *Nods* I think every show needs a villain and she’s that shows villain because she’ll fight with everyone.

Eva: That’s true, she doesn’t care about who she’s fighting with. Which makes it hard to keep a friendship with her. I will say, we have a great plan for the upcoming season and I think the fans will love it!

TT: This week the third and penultimate episode of Girls Trip Fiji aired and man was there a lot of drama — The biggest of which was Teairra and Tanya battling with Victoria and Clara. Producers had to calm Victoria down. Whose side are you all on in this vicious feud that has overtaken social media this week?!

Tyler: I love love LOVE my girl Teairra, but she and Tanya have been a hot mess express so far on Girls Trip…it’s hard to see where they’re coming from a lot. It’s great TV but I think I’m leaning Clara/Victoria. Though I’ll always ride for my Lady, Teairra.

Eva: *laughs* Tanya is another one who can’t help herself with fighting with everyone. Tanya and I are on good terms but I think she needs to tone down the fighting and try to get to know the women. I personally adore Clara and I’m on her side with this one.

Kathy: I am going to have to take Clara and Victoria’s side… I think both Teairra and Tanya’s behavior towards Clara and Victoria was atrocious! It just seemed like Teairra and Tanya wanted an issued from Clara and Victoria.

TT: *laughs* I’m not on a side I am just living for the mess and drama!!

Kathy: This was a masterpiece TT! It’s my Sunday guilty pleasure!

Eva: It’s definitely a great show! I think the was the perfect group to put together

TT: Thank you ladies, it was a journey to get it to air! *laughs*

Tyler: It’s been so much drama, I’m loving it too! Sister Taylor knows how to cast and produce for sure!

TT: Thanks babe, you all are too kind!

Elle: I have been loving the feud but I am saddened that they still are online fighting! I hope they can find a way to resolve things but honestly I don’t see any hope.

Tyler: Online fighting can sometimes get nastier than the fight itself.

Kathy: I agree Tyler, it was the one thing I regretted doing when I was on Ladies!

Elle: I didn’t regret mine that much.

Eva: I certainly don’t regret it on my show *laughs* Those bitches ask for it

Tyler: Now Eva, we’ve got some questions for you girl!

Kathy: We are gonna kinda rapid fire them at you! *laughs*

Eva: Bring it ladies! *laughs*

Tyler: One of my burning questions is about your marriage to Penelope, one of your cast members. Now I was watching GRT this week, and I saw something about you two being separated according to Ana and Bre. What can you tell us?

Eva: I mean we haven’t been living together but I’ve been open about that. She wanted to spend time in Poland with her family which I completely understand. As far as being “separated” that’s not true.

Kathy: So you’re still planning on moving to Poland to be with her right?

Eva: Yes! That’s partially which I chose to step back from the show

Tyler: So if you’re not separated and you’re not living together, what are you two doing? *winks*

Eva: Well separated to me implies there’s something wrong with the marriage or divorce is coming.

TT: Why did Draya Parks say that Penelope lives in England? What’s that about?

Eva: Penelope travels but she’s in Poland mainly

Kathy: So I’ve got a question regarding your departure. What is the real reason you’re leaving Basketball Wives, is it too much for you? Was there a cast mate that you couldn’t stand to be around anymore.

Eva: Honestly, there were many factors as to why I left. The entire season I had to hold back because I couldn’t really show my personal life and this is reality tv, that’s the whole point of it. I’ve been doing this for such a long time and I have felt drained from it. I don’t have much more to really give to the show. As far as leaving because of cast members? Nobody scares Eva Marion *flips hair*

Kathy: Well alrighty then! You heard it here!

TT: *laughs* I didn’t think she left on a particularly bad note with anyone!

Eva: We have some AMAZING casting for Season 10 and I’m not worried about the show performing poorly in the slightest. When I left after season 5, the cast was weak. I left this time with a strong cast, they know what they’re doing.

TT: I have a question Eva; what happened to your personal storyline this season? I’ve heard it was edited out by production. Is that true?

Eva: There unfortunately was a lot that was edited out that I wish made the cut. I also couldn’t show everything I wanted to. But I’m not an editor, I’m a producer, I don’t make the decisions on what makes the cut. I’m definitely a little annoyed about it though.

TT: As you should be! I saw a lot of cast members dissing the editors this season on social media!

Eva: I share the irritation with them! There’s been a lot of bias in the editing room.

TT: Well ladies, I think it’s time for TT’s Tea Spill!!!

Kathy: Do spill! I always look forward to my dose of your weekly gossip! I missed it last week!!

Tyler: I need my dose! Fill me up sis.

TT: *sighs* I am hearing the Beverly Beach ladies are gearing up for their reunion and Violette Beauchamp who hasn’t promoted the season at all has no plans to appear at the reunion. Production was hopeful she’d change her mind, but sources are saying there is no chance.

Kathy: Damn poor girl, she still hasn’t shown up… I really hope she’s okay!

Eva: Not showing up to a reunion is pathetic. Do what you signed up for.

Tyler: Oop. How tacky…One lackluster season and you can’t finish it?

Kathy: I wonder if Jean Luc is in trouble with the law??

TT: *laughs* She certainly did have a lackluster season; she wasn’t the star that I think her and production thought she was. She got center of the cast photo and didn’t promote the season at all. Whew!

Eva: Disgraceful. If you pulled that shit on BBWT you’d get fired.

Elle: I’m saddened by that. I think in order for a reunion to be a successful reunion, We have to have the whole cast together in order to get every perspective because what tends to happen is we lose understanding of why actions were made. I also think that she won’t want to be there due to her personal feelings. However it leads to chance for further accusations to be made with no defense.

Eva: That’s her problem then if she’s not gonna show up to defend herself. She is inviting more accusations in basically.

Kathy: I agree she should’ve shown up to clear the air and try and not allow more accusations on her name.

Elle: I think she’s making it worse is my point unfortunately…

Eva: Boohoo, people who act like that should grow up.

Kathy: And, I am going to end it there. This is the end of another episode of Reality of Roleplay. I am glad to be back in the studio with my main girls and I hope Jac comes back with a revitalized outlook on life when she returns next episode! Thank you Eva Marion from Basketball Wives Twitter for coming and dishing on all the hottest things this season! We will be back in two weeks with Draya Parks host of Getting the Real Tea! Until next time I’m your panelist, Kathy Irvine!

Thank you so so much for tuning in! :) We’ll be back in two weeks with Draya Parks!
