Basketball Wives returned for yet another dramatic episode on Monday, June 6, 2022 at 8.00 PM ET on VH1. The episode focused mainly on Angel Brinks' gender reveal party, however, it wasn't the gender reveal that caused the drama.
Nia Dorsey stirred up emotions after her post on Instagram didn't sit well with fellow cast members, leading to multiple arguments and a dramatic ending.
The hit series was renewed for a tenth season after tremendous success from its previous installments. This time, the show explores the everyday lives of women, romantically linked to famous basketball players as they navigate their personal and professional commitments, deal with broken friendships and relationships, and try to maintain cordial dynamics with fellow cast members.
The official synopsis of the show reads:
"The MVPs are reuniting for an epic comeback complete with new business ventures, growing families, relationship woes and old scores to settle."
Basketball Wives star Nia Dorsey rattles cast dynamics after a shady post
Episode 4 of Basketball Wives was all about new beginnings. While Jennifer Williams tried her hand at dating Jelani from the meat market mixer thrown by DJ Duffey on last week's episode, Angel Brinks was basking in excitement for the upcoming gender reveal party for her and her partner Roccstar's baby.
The event was extremely high scale, with the reveal taking place through a helicopter shooting smoke and coordinating swimmers. Guests invited to the party, including the ladies, had to pick either of the two colours, pink or blue, to wear.
The evening was a jubilant one, with everyone celebrating the couple's baby boy reveal. However, the drama was just waiting around the corner to rattle up the cast members.
While seated with fellow cast members, Brooke Bailey read something on her phone that shocked her, following which she decided to confront the issue. Someone had passed on a message stating that co-star Nia Dorsey had put up an Instagram story which hinted at her taking a jibe at Angel and her party.
The post stated:
“I got a taste for some outta wedlock baby shower food!!!!”
On top of that post, Basketball Wives star Nia had captioned:
"Can't wait to get some today. LOL"
This didn't sit well with Brooke, who read it out to fellow co-stars DJ Duffey and Brandi Maxiell, who echoed the sentiment. All the ladies felt that it was extremely disrespectful and they decided to confront Nia together.
In a confessional, Brooke said:
"I can't believe Nia would post something like this on social media. I really feel like its really disrespectful not only to Angel but also to all the single mothers out there."
When Nia was confronted by the ladies, she denied all claims of her post being insulting to Angel and insisted that was not her slightest intention. She confessed that she would never do something like that as she also had a baby out of wedlock.
However, the ladies decided to take it up with Roccstar, who thought it was "unbelievable" that someone would decide to post something like this about his partner and come to their party to celebrate.
The Basketball Wives ladies conveyed the issue to the host of the evening, Angel, who found it difficult to digest as Nia was one of her good friends. However, the star was disappointed because of the same that led to Roccstar escorting Nia out of the party.
Check out what fans had to say about the incident.
