Basketball Wives LA Recap: The Episode Is Brought To You By Non-White White Parties

I do.

Bambi and Gloria start getting into it and it’s all just exhausting. Laura finishes with the fact that Jackie is gross. Jackie ends it with telling Laura that she needs to be a more mature mother. Laura interviews that she’ll be more than happy to discuss parenting with Jackie at another time.

 I didn’t wear my bangs, so why you gotta be frontin’.

The next day, Jackie and Bambi meet up to discuss the white party fiasco. Bambi tells Jackie that she can’t make it to New York Fashion Week because she has to go to Atlanta to finish some music stuff (read, VH-1 wouldn’t buy her a ticket). Jackie explains that her daughter’s really want to go but they can’t either because they have to work. (Yeah, that’s why they’re not going.)

 At least no one tore out my bangs this week.

 Oh Jackie… you’re like the grandmother I always needed. Mentor me.

Draya joins them both and they get into it about Laura and how Draya doesn’t like Laura but that Draya “be’s a bigger person”. (Where are all the mentors?) Jackie interviews that Laura must have psychological and mental problems because Jackie hasn’t done anything to warrant this abuse. Nut job.

Gloria, Draya, and Brooke go out for drinks and they briefly are talking about Laura and Jackie. Brooke says she is starting to see more of where Laura is coming from and that she sees that Jackie might be a bit of a show whore.

 So, did you guys get Hep-C from the piercings too?

Gloria invites them to Laura’s birthday party and they agree to go. Gloria says that Jackie won’t be invited. They start getting more into it when Brooke gets a phone call from the editor of King Magazine, Sean. She immediately puts it on speakerphone and he tells her that she got the cover. He makes a comment about Brooke’s professionalism compared to the diva that walked off the set. (That diva would be Draya, who is sitting right there.)

 Vernon, hey… Listen, I got Hep-C, are you cool with that? It won’t affect the STD you gave me.

He keeps talking, Brooke is excited and Draya is kinda pissed that Sean would badmouth her to Brooke. Now, at first I think that Draya was actually happy for Brooke. Or it appeared to me that she was. But then after Sean started talking about how unprofessional she was, she got pissy and started insinuating that the only reason Brooke got the cover was because she had left. And granted, that’s not a nice thing to say… but it’s kinda what Sean was saying too. But it moves into a fight between Brooke and Draya, which will continue next week.
