*Over the seasons, “Basketball Wives” has received a ridiculous amount of attention, mostly bad. But Laura Govan says that’s exactly what fuels the popularity of the show.
The reality television star says people should lighten up about the show, explaining that it’s simply entertainment.
“For people to boycott only brings more attention to the show. It is entertainment. Take it for what it is. Go into the urban communities to see what’s going on instead of trying to criticize us. It is what it is,” she told Uptown magazine.
She cautioned audiences not to take anything on the show seriously.
Now that she and her family have relocated to Miami, some wonder if she’ll stick with the show. She assures location isn’t a big deal, so “Basketball Wives: LA” is where she’ll stay.
“I am not a show hopper. I started in L.A., and that’s where I plan on staying. Me and my sister [Gloria Govan] pitched that show in L.A. I will always be there to support that show,” she said.
Speaking of her sister, the two have had some rough patches in their relationship, but Laura insists there’s nothing for fans to worry about.
“There were times where I didn’t talk to my sister. We’re not trying to sugarcoat anything. I think most people can relate because a lot of people go through what we go through,” she said. “If we are beefing or not, I still have her back.”
As far as the new season and her fellow cast mates, Laura has squashed the beef with Malaysia Pargo, who she had a physical altercation with last year. This time around, she’s going in with a clear mind and no beef, but will keep her guard up.
Oh by quiet Laura your LA version is just as bad as the Miami one, fights, namecalling manipulations, etc- take your pick. whether it is scripted or jsut entertainment as you call it the show just shows AA women in such a bad light period.
correction- be quiet
I don’t see anything ‘entertaining’ about watching a bunch of self-centered and spoiled moneyed women acting a fool on the world stage. If I had cable, I wouldn’t watch it. The only reason why anybody pays this silly woman any attention is because this kind of mindless junk sells and the public eats it up. Why do I want to watch somebody else’s dysfunctional life when mines is just as jacked up? My life is my own reality TV! For women claim to have this, that or the other, they come off as a miserable, angry bunch who like to live in constant chaos. This bimbo was better off keeping her mouth shut and admit that she likes to act like a trained monkey because she gets paid to do it. I’d rather go to the circus or watch paint dry then watch this crap.
Well you should do a reality show and make some money…
There’s nothing entertaining about these train wreck shows. It’s pure ignorance and sends out a false reality for Black women at large. The only ones who are truly in tune are birds like them who are thirsty and hood boogas who think this is a soap opera. Anyhows, if I’m not mistaken there are only one or two who are actual wives and not baby mamas or jumpoffs. Who takes pride in that????? Women with low self esteem. Real basketball wives are people like Cookie Johnson, Tracey Mourning, Monica Brown and they can’t hold a candle to these three and others who exude class and.proper etiquette skills. These broads think they are into something just because they have high end fashion, bags, cars, homes and industry invites. As the saying goes, you can’t take the rachetness out the rat because it shows.
Don’t forget about Vanessa Bryant. She claims to be a real BBW too. She would fit right in with the cast because she was mexican trash who lucked up.
