TV Series Basketball Wives all set to make a comeback; Where are the former Castmates now?

Basketball Wives is returning for its 8th season this year.

'Basketball Wives' has been a staple on VH1 since 2010, the premise is simple, a show about the wives and girlfriends of famous basketball players. But what has really kept it on screen for so long is the petty arguments and stupid beef plus drama that would make day time soap opera jealous.

The show created by Shaquille O'Neal's ex-wife, Shaunie O'Neal, returned to VH1 for its eighth season on June 19, 2019. Longtime cast members Shaunie is returning to the show along with Tamy Roman, Kristen Scott, Cece Gutierrez, Jackie Christie, Jennifer Williams, Ogum Chijindu, Malaysia Pargo and Evelyn Lozada plus there is a new cast member Feby Torres.

Conflict is still at the heart of the series, and cast members including Roman, Pargo and Williams will be dealing with unresolved confrontations and unsettling rumors.
