Vh1's "Basketball Wives" recently taped their reunion special, where all cast members where present except for one. Plus see what Shaunie O'Neal said as she apologized for the past season and promised more balance below:



Jennifer Williams, shown above, looked gorgeous in an alluring red gown.







But where was Tami Roman? In a tweet posted a few days ago, it seemed as though Tami might not be coming back next year. It has not been confirmed....but we know missing a reunion taping is a big "contract" no-no.

And perhaps the most shocking moment was Ms. O'Neal coming clean and basically apologizing for the way the women were portrayed on the show. She owned up to the "bad" outweighing the "good" but did highlight that there were some positive things shown this year. But the question is.....do you buy it?

Watch Shaunie express her disappointment here:


Also, Shed Media and VH1 both released statements about the negative feedback the show has gotten.

Shed Media said,

“Shed Media US is fully committed to telling the compelling stories of the Basketball Wives in a balanced way. Our producing partner Shaunie O’Neal feels strongly about this, and we fully agree with this stance. We support her as she encourages the cast members to work out issues in a non-violent fashion. We look forward to working with her and the rest of the cast on conveying more balance in the next season.”

And VH1 said,

“Our viewers opinions always matter a great deal to us at VH1. Lately, there has been a lot of conversation about Basketball Wives, a series featuring strong, intelligent women with very passionate viewpoints, which can sometimes escalate.

We at VH1 agree with and support Shaunie and the show producers’ “no excessive physical confrontations” policy on the series moving forward. We are all committed to balancing the candid, bold excitement that the viewers have come to love in the series with storylines and representations they can be proud of. Shaunie has been a strong advocate for a more balanced approach to the show and we, along with our producing partners at Shed Media, are all in agreement about moving forward with that goal.”

Do you think "BBW" will survive without the drama?
