‘Basketball Wives LA’ star Jackie Christie is blogging for HollywoodLife.com, sharing her thoughts about each episode! Read what she has to say below!
Last night’s episode touched home for me in more ways than one! From Imani sharing with me that she felt that she had given all of her love away to the wrong person, to my lunch date with Draya – that, I wanted more than she did by far — to the MMA [mixed martial arts] cage battle that’s etched into my mind and I’m sure the other girls’ too … it was fierce!
I’m not sure who Draya was talking about in her interview regarding the “everyone was scared” comment. That was hilarious to me, but then again she is funny anyway. No hard feelings Draya!
I got a few tweets to me @jackiechristie asking me why I hate Draya and why are we all so mean and gang up on her … all I can reply to those mean spirited tweeters is WATCH THE SHOW! Maybe, just maybe, you can catch a quick glimpse of me actually warning her to protect herself when she got into the MMA cage because I felt like she really wasn’t getting it that she needed to actually fight back. But all is well and everyone left fully intact. Oh, and my and Gloria‘s time in the cage was a lot of fun too. I’d do it again anytime!
The scene where Malaysia explained to Draya what she had told her about attending my wedding was entertaining because I really believe Malaysia wasn’t trying to start any drama … it just came across that way. No love lost! However, the wedding was beautiful and the main person I needed to attend, other than my children, was my mommy — and she was there and happy for us, so everything was perfect!
And lastly I was surprised to see Laura say to Gloria that Draya had been telling her ex all of her business, but I guess all is fair in love and war, right?
Oh! And the three girls: Laura, Gloria and Imani seemed to have a blast at the gym working out. Working out never looked so good. They did keep it sexy though for sure!

I think all of those women have problems. But i’m like jackie, PUT IT ALL ON THE TABLE. They didn’t do lke jackie. Imani is a joke. Draya is a wanna-be and the rest are just gold diggers. Having afairs with other women’s husbands, she should be happy that jackie was her friend. I think jackie is a very straight up person and people cannot take the truth, oh well. IT IS WHAT IT IS. THE TRUTH. Keep up the great work jackie.
Ashamed of the Govan Sisters
Posted at 2:09 PM on October 11, 2011
These women are so pathetic. First of all who are the Govan sisters to go around passing judgment. Has Gloria forgotten that her sister had an affair with Shaquile Oneal when he was still married to Shanie??? Doesn’t that make her a slut/home-wretcher??? And Gloria forgets that a year ago police was called to her home because of domestic violence???? Talk about skeletons in their closets.
THEY ARE JUST JELAOUS OF DRAYA BECAUSE SHE IS THE YOUNGEST OF THE GROUP AND THE SEXIEST. JACKIE IS A SAD INVIDIVUAL AND AN OLD FART WHO IS SO AFRAID OF HER FINE HUSBAND LEAVING HER. These women need to get a life and stop being so fake. I wonder what their children are going to think of all these women when they see this footage in the future. They will be ashamed of this mothers.

frst of all you all act as if you all don’t have a past. Yall pick on the weakest link. Let the first one without sin cast a stone. Hell bound yall all will be. Think about yourself and what’s really in your closet. Yes Draya has a past that’s not so good but all of yall do. One is a HOME WRECKER and you know that but noone never speaks on that. stop pointing the fingure at other people untill you have fix yourself. Mrs. Jackie you keep a lot of mess going you really do. Read your King James Bible and see what it says about marriage. i believe you want be so quick to talk so much. No don’t be ashamed but you should realize then noone is perfect and that we all have fallen short of the Glory of God. You dont suppose to remarry if any of your husband is still alive. well the very first one. And God has the last say so.

Jackie,jackie,Jackie…you sound like an idiot. I think the real question is,do YOU watch this show. Do YOU see yourself? Do YOU see your behavior? In your dumb *** statement above,you try and come off as if nothing bothers you and that u are oblivious to u all’s ignorant behavior.Come on now,you know u all are being ridiculous.You know you ladies are washed up. Burnt up and turned out. this girl has probably been bullied all her life. pretty girls usually are. You all are bullies and complete hypocrites. come on now all you hoes have some dirt. you all have just mastered the art of disguise. Draya goes in to all of this innocent and naive. and there you all are lying in wait to attack. Get your SOUL together you are not good people,you are making fools of yourselves. The worst part is your getting doggie treats. The puppeteer holding the strings Shaunie Oneal and producers at VH1 are laughing and raking in the dough off of your silly and disgusting antics. Ladies! Grow the hell up!!

It just goes back to my personal saying if you put more than 3 females in a room there will be drama. I was very dissappointed in the way the women treated Draya. Regardless to what she’s done there was a more tasteful way to approach the situation. That may have meant lower ratings but something greater could have been achieved. Everyone has a past, who give anyone the right to berate someone for what you ‘believe’ is true. I would love to know what skeletons live in most of these ladies closets. It baffles me how the ladies allow Jackie to lead them around by the nose, the so-called friendships seem forced and most of them are basically kissing Jackies arse. The ladies are afraid to offend Jackie so whatever Jackie thinks dictates what the majority thinks and acts on. Malayshia, I tip my hat to you for being the only one in your group of ‘tough girls’ to have a backbone and opinions of your own. Jackie, if you haven’t had the chance to watch yourself please do, I’m sure if you’re the decent wife and mother you claim to be you will dissapointed in what you see. Imani, I know why you’re single…..I’ll leave it at. Laura, if the rumors are true you have no room to judge you could have simply chosen not be around Draya it’s not hard you all were ready to do it before when Jackie had her wedding. Gloria, you love throwing terms like jump-off at people but words are just like boomerangs sometimes they come back, if you didn’t get read it again. Last but not least Draya, whatever you’ve done be it true or not no one has the right to treat you like that I believe they are jealous because you represent everything most of them will never be. You’re young make good decision and live your life.

I see my post was deleted. Too much real talk for them to handle, I guess. Well (to whomever is over this site), delete my other correction comment, too. No sense in keeping it, when the main entry is missing.

CORRECTION: I meant to say Laura, not Gloria, when I said she squeezed another one out before getting the boot. Sorry. I’m sure you all know that was Laura. Sad. I was really liking Laura and feeling sorry for her. I even began to believe her rumors of her breaking up Shaunie and Shaq to be faked. Not anymore.

Last night was a sad day for women of color. These are not ladies they are bullies. Jackie, is the oldest of the group, yet she is the person that creates a bad image. To me her priorities are not with her mother and her illness and being there for her, she is on a computer getting dirt on Stays. Jackie, you should be taking Draya, and helping her with parenting skills, instead you and your groupies are tearing her down. Everyone, has skeletons in their closet, and instead of forgiving people, you are casting stones. To me the show should clean house starting with you Jackie, and the rest, because this not how I want to be protrayed on tv, insecured and unhappy bullies.
Done with the show
Posted at 1:55 PM on October 4, 2011
You are so right. I am done watching this. I’m sad that her mom passed, but Jackie is the most childish one. She clearly has shown that on the show, as well as all her other past public antics. She keeps saying, Laura too, they were trying to save Draya and help her. Did anyone see that actually happening? Jackie could have said that maybe Draya didn’t come because of an accident, maybe she was sick, or maybe she needed to stay for her son. No. She asked is Draya laid up under someone, with 5 guys, is she stripping, and other negative stuff. Yet, she sits there and pretends she wanted Draya at her 19th wedding ceremony? Come on! She wasn’t fooling Draya. She saw right through it. Draya did the right thing by not coming. She even handled that MMA situation with class, all to find out later that it was a set up. These chicks (minus Draya,Malaysia) are hopless. Tonya & Kimsha I don’t know enough about. They are not around anymore for a reason, and I think it’s because of those other females.

You are a disgrace to black women everyone, including your daughters. I am ashamed of everything you ladies stand for with the exception of Tanya Williams who is noticable missing from the edited shows. Of all the ladies, you are the worse given your age and the fact that you have daughters who you are setting a very bad example for. All the work of our ancestors has been significantly damaged by the ignorance displayed on this show. Do us a favor… do not continue production of this show!

JACKIE,You should be ashamed of yourself. i gather you are someone the girls look up to and you are throwing a rock and hiding your hand. you always talking about being real and straight up with people and you are a intergator. if you know that Draya is a young mess up girl . then you should help her to turn a life around for the good. when people know better they do better. perhaps she has not had any home training and need a little guidance from you. you try to be so honest but you messy. i think you like being that way

Jackie, jackie, jackie shame on you. aren’t you to old to be acting like this? you have a mother who needs your attention, why are you so focused on Drya? you all look like bullies for real. if you were real instead of talking about beating her down you want to help her and in turn help the kid. Laura and Floria you are both from the suburb stop acting like you were raised in the hood its a dishonor to your parents

Jackie is an old ugly trouble maker. Her life surrounded by the yearly nuptials and her harsh treatment of her daughter is sickening. She and her “CIRCLE” minus Draya are truly a bunch of losers. Compared to the Real Basketball Wives – Miami who are really beautiful and has much more going on in their lives than these losers who manufacture silly things to do……
If Jackie’s wedding was so important and she wanted to share with friends and loved ones …. how come she was so upset because Draya didn’t show? Afterall…she just met this girl. All in all she looked a hot mess at her own wedding and Malasia and Imani and the two sisters are trash…no one is a real wife (Malasia…is I guess), so what’s with having Wives in the title??? Just asking…….

I could not agree with you more, I really believe that some of this women are jealous of Draya who still has some growing to do, but she seems more mature than the haters. Please somebody tell me why does everyone keep telling Laura she’s beautiful -WHERE-?, she is hood, ignorant and childish, fighting three weeks after giving birth and with four children, Gloria is so perfect with the perfect life and all, I wonder why can’t she and Laura get this men to marry them and stop shacking up and producing all of the babies out of wed lock.

Thank you for saying that. Gloria is shacking up, trying to show how she is such a good cook or always cleaning up. She even started the season by talking bad about LA girls wearing heels at the grocery store, and she don’t have to. She was on the Florida version of BW, claiming her relationship to be solid and how the others should take lessons from her on how to keep a man. The next episode has her saying Matt wants marriage, but she has other things she is doing so she is not ready. Whatever! It’s Matt who is not ready, or he would have did it by now. You were the one in Florida saying it was going to happen. Once again, Gloria is trying to make herself look like the strong and perfect one. How did Laura manage to have another baby, when she had been moving in and out with Gilbert Arenas? They have been on the rocks for years,after that rumor. She know she could have protected herself. That last baby was probably a final attempt to save the relationship or add to her monthly check. She knew what she was doing. Now we are supposed to feel sorry for her and all her 4 kids? Laura should stop acting like she is so broke. I’m sure Gilbert is the poor one, right now. He would have been even more poor, had he actually married her. Whether you cheated on Gilbert with Shaq or not, you chose to have all the babies before actual marriage (like so many others).

So true Pebbles….Laura is nowhere near beautiful…she looks like a tranny. The only ones, in my opinion, who can be put into that category are Draya & Malaysia. I use to think that Gloria was pretty, but the more I look at her the more she reminds me of a termite or some weird looking insect. And as for them marrying their baby daddies…like my mom always say…”why buy the cow when you can get the milk free….these dumb broads have played house with these men for too long so why does marriage matter anymore!!!!

You are speaking nothing but the truth, they are the true jump-offs as they like to call it. And Laura should be at home taking care of the those 4 babies that under the age of 5 instead of speaking on someone else’s parenting skills. Where do they get these people?
