Evelyn Lozada Boycott Gaining Steam: Major Advertisers Being Contacted
It looks like the boycott against Evelyn Lozada on “Basketball Wives” is starting to take hold. The legendary wild woman has been getting major heat for her behavior on the show, which many claim is promoting bullying among young women. Thousands of fans have signed an online petition to have Evelyn’s new show, “Ev and Ocho” cancelled before it even begins.
Alexis M, who has organized an online campaign against the show, has been reaching out to advertisers to bring the madness to an end. She has been approaching major corporations, including GM, Burger King and others.
“I’m currently waiting on Burger King’s president to return my phone call. I sent him all the video footage of the ‘Basketball Wives’ violence,” Alexis says. “Burger King didn’t even know what ‘Basketball Wives’ is. The secretary was polite enough to view some of the video footage of the violence.”

This sounds like a great conclusion to the madness. We should be able to protest on what we want and don’t wanna see on tv. I must admit that I do sometimes catch a episoid now and then but not a big fan of the show. I don’t believe they should reward them with show.

my neice told me about this show after watching i was disgusted by the anamial behavior of this woman that should be an example to other women. What is she teaching her daughter and other young ladies that see this and thinks it cute. Anyone that walks accross a table, is just nasty with no maners what so ever. It really makes her and all those that participate look like idiots. the only ones that do look as stupid is Royce, Jennifer and the two new girls. Eventhough Shaq’s ex-wife doesn’t fight you are just as guilty because you keep company with fools. But you can have the last laugh all the way to the bank while your friends are acting the fool. If you guys were trying to be positive, where is the charity work that you are doing or working with young girls to promote successful business and how to conduct yourselves as you women. mentoring, did anyone think of that as your basis? What are you doing? What is your purpose? You may have been born in poverty and the streets but you don’t have to keep that mindset. All of you ladies are beautiful but the attitude only shows uglyness. Is this the real life of black females that you desire the world to see and believe that we are all angry…that is what they already think of us. IS THERE ANYTHING POSITIVE THAT YOU HAVE TO SHOW THE WORLD?

I’m not the biggest fan of Basketball Wives, but I find it entertaining. I am a bright, well-rounded individual who occasionally enjoys nonsensical shows, like most people out there. There are far worst shows on television that people could/should boycott. This is just a case of people simply disliking Evelyn and attacking her and her money. If you do not like Bball Wives, don’t watch. I would love for the Kardashian show to be pulled, but guess what? Millions of people watch and enjoy it. Just because I think it promotes idiocracy and superficiality, means i simply shouldn’t watch (and i don’t) – not ruin it for everybody else. Until we decide to improve the moral and social value systems in the country, we can’t get upset when art imitates life.

Thank goodness!!!! I thought I was the only one that that Evelyn was staight nuts and should be locked up. Shaunie keeps this mess going buy holding reconcillation meetings. Team Jen – that slap would have landed a lot of us in jail for assault. Contract or no contract. Each of you have daughters – teach them to resolve conflicts better than what you show on your show. I had to let go of the series after the fight. Can’t support this foolishness any longer.

I fell the boycott is crazy. I happen to like E. I don’t think she is a bully. For all you people who say she is bullying the girls, watch the show. It’s not bullying it’s a simple concept “KEEP IT REAL AT ALL TIMES” (if you did or said someting own up to it). Everybody that E. has fought has done something to her in some kind of way. She don’t just hear something and start beating up people. She ask them first to get their side of the story (sometimes more than once to give them a chance to tell the truth)then when they lie to her face that’s when things get ugly.(goes back to the saying “KEEP TI REAL AT ALL TIMES”) So it’s not like she just pick with people for no reason. Yes I do agree that she can handle to situations better but people get tired of the fakeness around them. Why are we depending on the T.V. to raise our young women? I thought that young women suppose to learn that at home from their MOTHER OR GARDIAN not T.V. not Evelyn not the BBW not the BGC. So for a boycott to be going on to cancel her show is crazy to me. Evelyn has a daughter that looks like she is doing ok to me and in college. She doesn’t even fight like her mom. She raise her daughter now all the other women out here need to raise theirs, and not get mad at the t.v. because you dont’t like the way t.v. is raising them. For all of us who watch the show know that E. has other positive things going on in her life. Want to know what it is? Watch the show. Futhermore don’t get mad at E. for being the way she is, get mad the producers cause of the way the show is aired. They only show us the negitive part cause that’s what get the rating. You can’t start in the middle of a problem to solve it you have to get to the root of it. I’m just saying people, we need to raise our kids not the entertainment industry.

1st of All Evelyn’s not even a b-ball wife. She’s tryin to be anybodys wife..of course “He gotta be in the lime light”. She played herself with Antione an now she’s about to play herself again..this time wit Chad. She claimed she was done wit those type of guys an workin on her independece an all..she lied. Thats really why she’s mad at Jen. They was suppose to be on the same page but Ev went far to the left. Chad is a media whore! Dont act like you the dont know this Ev..especially since turned into one also. Showin your ass bullyin ppl..you ought to be ashamed! Your own daughter would not like you or want to be your friend Ev. She will probably be bullied just because of who her mother is an how she handles her biz to the world. We dont wanna “Be Bout Your Fake Phoneyass Life Ev!” Every sista got a lil Tammy in her.. so you can try me if you want to! I cant wait for your 15 min to be over..just like Chads NFL career. “Ocho Stinko”

I’m doing a search to find where I can sign this petition. Bless Alexis M and all those working to derail this demented show and the spin off. How Shaunie can even be friends with such a vile creature as Evelyn is beyond me.

these “so called” reality shows would make “Amos & Andy”, “Steppin’ Fetchit”, “Bojangles”,
“Mantan & Mooreland” and every other old show entertainer TURN OVER IN THEIR GRAVES! -these shows are the true definition of buffooning/clowning for the man!
PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS

Its not just E that has an issue. its also Susie starting much of the problems w/ her two face bx. Then you have Tammy who can be her own bully. The show needs to be off the air! Let’s put something about women of color more +. E and Och don’t need a show, they need counseling and they should never get married. The man is a cheater! How sad.
