:: When Keepin' It Real Goes Wrong ::

When Tami Roman joined the cast of Basketball Wives in Season 2, she added a much needed hype and drama about the show. The fact that she took on the show's anti-heroine Evelyn Lozada gave her the backing of many reality TV fans like me (I know, it's horrible. But I'm addicted to it LOL). Tami's attitude and the way she "kept it real," quickly made her a fan favorite.

The Season 2 Finale showed Tami FINALLY going toe to toe with Evelyn--physically. While many fans enjoyed Tami's addition to the show, plenty of fans did not saying that Tami was yet another stereotyping Black woman--angry, upset at the world, loud, obnoxious and always ready to physically fight.

During Season 2, I actually liked the role Tami played. She seemed sincere, as if she knew how quickly she can be angry but was trying to change. She had, had a hard life after her divorce from her ex-husband, Kenny Anderson, and was basically showing that it wasn't all glitz and glam being the wife and former wife of a basketball star.

Now we fast-forward to Season 3....

Where the sincere Tami has turned into the hostile Tami... ready to pounce on anyone that has a difference of opinion about herself.

WHAT HAPPENED?!

Did the Tami that the fans all knew and loved in Season 2 let celebrity get to her head, and now, like Nene Leakes from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, is actually comfortable playing the part of the Angry Sister?

As much as I love Tami, I've got to admit that her actions in Season 3 is not the actions of a woman in her 40s. You can be hostile and angry and ready to fight in your 20s, but by your 40s there should be some level maturity involved.

Tami, we know you like to "keep it real", sweetheart. Everyone woman keeps in real sometime in her life, but you don't have to be physical in order to "keep it real".

Now, we Basketball Wives fans have just heard that Meeka Claxton--the new girl in the "circle"--is suing Tami for physically assaulting her during the next episode of Basketball Wives.

My guess is that Meeka will win because the evidence will be broadcasted on national TV come Monday...

I guess this is when keepin' it real goes wrong....
