Basketball Wives Recap: Damage Control
A bittersweet melody plays as we're treated to a photo montage of Evelyn and Chad Johnson's wedding peppered with redacted police reports and Chad's mugshot. A somber Evelyn tells of her brother-in-law's death two days after she learned of Chad's cheating and the subsequent head butt that left her with several stitches in her forehead. She feels like people blamed her for ruining Chad's career. Is this Basketball Wives or the lead in for a 20/20 special?
Blaming the media for her negative portrayal as a hothead, Evelyn has taken a break from Twitter in an effort to collect her thoughts, and she is prepping for two interviews that will share her side of the story. She's meeting with her publicist to discuss her story, and dare I say I'm actually feeling sorry for Evelyn? On the day of her televised sit-down, a very conservative and demurely dressed Evelyn is prepping for her interview. She calls her mom for words of encouragement.
A teary Evelyn goes to visit her mother the following day, and she's still mourning the loss of her brother-in-law and her marriage. Damn! I'm getting teary. Thanks a heap, VH1. Evelyn is concerned that people are going to think she provoked his behavior, and her mother reveals that Chad has been texting her. He tells her mother that he was trying to restrain her when she was going off on him for cheating after three weeks of marriage. Evelyn's mother responds to Chad that she is extremely disappointed in his behavior, and Evelyn knows she's secretly hoping that her daughter and Chad will work out their problems. However, Evelyn is still livid with Chad for not publicly taking full responsibility for the incident and allowing her to look like a loose cannon in the media.
Tami and Shaunie are meeting up to discuss how they are consciously aware of how their behavior effects others. Tami wants to pause before she does or says anything rash, while Nostrils is ready to shed her quiet, soft spoken (oh please) demeanor in favor of being much more opinionated. A very calm and robot-like Tami (is she medicated?) is under a lot of financial hardships due to her ex-husband not contributing and her mother's illness. She wells up, sharing that the doctors aren't giving her mom much more time. Man, VH1 is certainly working overtime to make us feel sympathetic to the mean girls!
Evelyn goes to visit her daughter, and Shaniece inquires as to whether Chad has signed
Shaunie is baking and playing therapist to Evelyn. Evelyn explains that she knows Chad loves her, and she's no longer mad at him. She just can't forgive him. Chad is still vying for Evelyn's affections. Shaunie is proud of Chad for not giving up, although she thinks he needs to work on himself. Evelyn feels like her soul is intertwined with Chad's, and I do wonder if she'll ever entertain a rekindled relationship with him.
The fierce foursome is meeting for drinks, and Suzie is talking about her extensive jaw surgery. Right out of the gate, Tami jokes that she's not sure if she's on board with Suzie's new face, and Suzie admits that she's been celibate for ten months…probably because her mouth has been wired shut. Thanks for the update, Suz! Let's cut to the chase, though. Tami wants the down low on Evelyn's divorce. Her friend will open up to Iyanla, but she's yet to tell Tami the whole story. Shame.
Basically, it wasn't finding out that Chad was cheating that upset Evelyn the most, it was that he didn't tell her. If he was going to be a crappy husband, he needed to be more discreet so she wouldn't be humiliated in public. Evelyn reveals that Chad is trying to get to her via subliminal Twitter messages. Did Shaunie just say that was sweet? Tami encourages Evelyn to give him a second chance, and she has to rely on faith since she has no guarantees that Chad won't get violent again.
Suzie can't believe her ears–no man should ever head butt a woman! She thinks her friend could do so much better. Unfortunately, she can't vocalize this since she can barely move her mouth. Who knew that Suzie would be the voice of reason? I'm not sure I'm on board with this change of pace! Shaunie asks if Tami would give her daughter the same advice. Of course, she would! She wants to see Rihanna and Chris Brown back together too. Who is this woman? Tami believes that Chad now knows there are repercussions to his behavior since she did leave. He made a mistake, and he's trying. Oh Lord, Tami. I think I liked you better when you bat shiz violent. Suzie agrees with me.
TELL US-WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE? DO YOU THINK THE WOMEN HAVE CHANGED? COULD YOU BELIEVE TAMI'S ADVICE?

Evelyn
Lozada’s split from Chad Johnson was the focal point of the Basketball
Wives Season 5 premiere, rehashing the developments of last year.
Ones that are clearly still raw, despite time partially healing the wounds.
Accused of infidelity after she allegedly found a condom receipt in the car, Chad Johnson head-butted her during the ensuing, heated argument.
Monday's Basketball Wives premiere showed Lozada deciding togo public with her story and meeting with her publicist to schedule a series of interviews.
There was a dramatic dinner with her castmates to discuss her relationship and a heart-to-heart between Lozada and her daughter Shaniece.
It was Shaniece who advised her mom not to reconcile with Johnson.
“I don’t really think that’s a good idea,” Shaniece told Evelyn, who was considering doing so, adding that, “I didn’t like him from the beginning.”
Lozada’s daughter added later that her decision tofile for divorce immediately after suffering bruises at her then-husband’s hand was the right one.
“I’m proud of you,” said Shaniece.“And I’m sure there’s a lot of other women who are proud too. Starting over isn’t so bad. We’ll start over together.”
Not that it was easy. Evelyn Lozada has admitted that had the domestic violence remained private, she likely would’ve stayed with her husband.
“I had physical scars. Obviously, I had to go to the hospital. I’m going to admit if there wasn’t, I probably would have went right back in that house."
"Would have brushed it under therug . I wouldn’t have wanted the world to know,” she told Access Hollywood. “It’s still difficult even though it was a year ago."
"That was right after it happened. It was hard. I’m trying to move on with my life and now the show’s airing, so just having to deal with it all over again…”
Though Evelyn shared that she was a bit relieved when Chad took responsibility for the incident, he recently suggested that he was just playing his part.
As for reports that the two may still reconcile, Lozada says that while she and Johnson are on better terms these days, there is no way it's happening.
“I’m moving on with my life. He’s moving on with his life,” she said.
“I’m glad things are where they’re at.”
