Basketball Wives aired yet another dramatic episode on Monday, June 27, 2022 on VH1. The episode documented tense moments between the ladies as they tried to sort out their personal relationships and manage their work-life balance. However, the series managed to offer a heavy dose of theatrics in a one-hour episode that made for some good content.

This week, Malaysia revealed that she was thinking about taking ex-husband Jannero Pargo to court because of his lack of commitment to their kids and his reluctance to pay child support. While looking for houses in the city, she talked to her friend Lala about leaving the decision to God and seeing how it goes from there.


Fans react to Basketball Wives star Malaysia talking about taking ex-husband to court

In the past few episodes of Basketball Wives, Malaysia has been vocal about the issue of her ex-husband Jannero not paying child support and not helping with raising the kids. The duo share three children who have been with Malaysia now for quite some time. They live in a small house in LA, and the star felt that it was time for a bigger house.

While looking into the house with a real estate agent, Malaysia was accompanied by a friend, Lala. When the latter asked if Malaysia's ex-husband was helping out with the house, Malaysia said that he wasn't. She then confessed that she was thinking of taking him to court and sorting out the child support issue but would first pray about it and wait for God's decision.

Fans had their own opinions on the issue and took to social media to express them.
