“Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada and Shaunie O’Neal called out their co-star OG’s antics during the reunion taping.
The first part of the “BB Wives” reunion aired last night and was filled with drama. The show started with Lozada talking to O’Neal about OG tweeting about her ex, Chad Johnson, prior to the reunion. Shaunie even revealed OG had issues with crew members during filming.

We then watch the reunion host, Marc Lamont Hill, tell OG she will be sitting on a separate stage due to “security concerns.”
OG throws a fit over the news and refuses to sit on the other stage. Hill said Tami Roman had asked for the second set.

OG was not having it and refused to sit on a different set. The main set was for Shaunie O’Neal, Evelyn, Malaysia Pargo, Jackie Christie, Kristen Scott and Feby Torres. The smaller set was for Tami Roman, Cece Gutierrez and Ogom "OG" Chijindu.

The episode showed OG and CeCe throwing a fit backstage about the seating arrangements. OG threatened to leave with CeCe. Producers tried to calm her down but she rushed to her car throwing her mic pack off.
The ladies continue the taping without OG, where the topic eventually ends up on OG’s anger. Shaunie O’Neal recalls certain incidents during production and Lozada backed her up.
Shaunie then called out Jennifer Williams over rumors about Shaq. Shaunie had to get up from the couch to take a minute.
OG then finally comes back to the set and sits on her separate stage. She talked to the cast via satellite.
Malaysia and Shaunie get into it with OG about her antics. The second part of the reunion airs next week.

Earlier this week, Lozada sued Ogom “OG” Chijindu for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
She took issue with a series of tweets by OG which accused Lozada of being racist and a bigot. In the suit, Lozada says “This entire defamatory statement is false as stated” by OG. She claims her co-star even her statements were false when she said them.
In the suit, Lozada points out she is of Hispanic descent and her 2 children are of African and Hispanic descent. She also is the chairperson of the Evelyn Lozada Foundation which raises money for domestic violence victims.
As a result of the statements, Lozada claims she has,” sustained serious financial harm through loss of income as well as serious and permanent injuries.”
She is suing for unspecified damages. The lawsuit was filed by powerhouse attorney, Corey Boddie.
As The Blast first reported, Lozada was advised to also take out a restraining order against OG, following her co-star’s alleged reunion show meltdown.
Sources close to Lozada told us she was concerned about OG’s "mental state".
