14 DAY TRIAL // Evelyn Lozada, star of the hit reality show “Basketball Wives,” became a mother for the second time over the weekend, giving birth to a healthy baby boy, her first child with fiancé Carl Crawford. On her latest show, Wendy Williams congratulated her on the arrival of her new “cash register.”
As you may imagine, Evelyn is anything but happy at the implication behind Wendy’s comment – and she’s making sure she gets a piece of her mind via Twitter, where she’s been posting her response in short messages.
First of all, for a bit of context: Evelyn has a 20-year-old daughter, Shaniece, which was born when she was only 17 years old. She’s also been involved in a very mediated relationship with Chad Johnson aka Chad Ochocinco, which is the reason she was on the aforementioned VH1 show in the first place.
Williams, as you can see in the video below (past the 5:50 mark), tried to use Evelyn’s past history with men against her, saying she’d been around the block a few times to know how to do this thing properly. She uses the wording “Evelyn has lived” but she still makes it crystal clear that she believes she’s using the baby to “lock in” her current man.
“Evelyn gave birth to a cash register, I mean a baby boy. I didn't mean to make that cash register joke, but you see why it's easy to be said. Evelyn girl, congratulations. [Crawford is] not a bad looking man, but he certainly wasn't getting the likes of Evelyn Lozado [sic] if he wasn't playing baseball,” Williams says on her Hot Topics segment.
She even goes as far as to offer suggestions to Evelyn on what she should do next with her life: retire from reality television, do charity, open a new shoe store, and pretty much “take care of your cash register,” with the term now used for Crawford, not the baby.
But Evelyn is not taking this lying down. After seeing the segment, she went on Twitter to tell Wendy that she never did anything to her that would warrant this type of judgment and, more importantly, this kind of bashing on television.
If anything, she was nice to Wendy when she had the chance, even sending her flowers when she made her Broadway debut. Our guess is this was a nice gesture she regrets now with all her heart. You can almost feel her bitterness in her next tweet, in which she goes after Wendy just like Wendy did after her.
“Since u want me 2 open Dulce [a shoe shop] n LA. Maybe ur man can come 2 that store & purchase shoes 4 another woman like he did @ my Miami store. Bloop!” she writes. “Oh...BTW...he purchased the Casadei suede over the knee boots triple platform just in case you wanted to know. #DontComeForMe #INeverBotherU.”
Burn.
