Basketball Wives, Season 5

Basketball Wives returns for a fifth season with plenty of personal drama to share, beginning with Evelyn Lozada’s first steps toward dealing with the media firestorm surrounding the altercation with her husband that threatens to end their marriage. Back with their own passions and problems are Tami Roman, Suzie Ketcham, and executive producer Shaunie O’Neal. New to the scene is Evelyn’s friend Tasha Marbury, whose marriage of 17 years to a prominent player has had its share of scandal, the lingering whispers of which make her entry into the group a controversial, pot-stirring delight for viewers. Other surprises in store for the fifth outing include the return of a controversial wife from seasons past, a confrontation with a woman whose purported relationship with a player puts one of the wives in an awkward position, and yet another girls’ trip to remember as two of the ladies take their simmering feud abroad.
