Shaunie O' Neal Discusses Basketball Wives and Shaq

In preparation for tonight’s Basketball Wives Finale, Shaunie O’Neal stopped by the Breakfast Club Morning Show to chat about Season 2 with Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee and DJ Envy.

While there, she discussed whether Evelyn was leaving the show, if Royce was really fired, Shaq’s relationship with Hoopz and more.

Check out some highlights and video below:

On Whether she would be kicking Royce off of the show
That was all rumors. She can’t talk about Dwight Howard that is very true but Royce has established her own fan base. There are some people out there that love Royce. Even when that rumor came out people were like “No, don’t get rid of Royce!” I did think Royce was like the wild card at first and she kind of was. We opened up season 1 and she was doing the booty dance and after she did that it was when the world saw it and had stuff to say.
On Evelyn and Tami’s fight
When I’m in a scene, I’m not anywhere in the producing seat. I found out that night at the dinner table. It was just like I get Evelyn’s side….I do. She and I have talked about it and she’s like “well, remember this person was there, this person is normally not there, remember when this was said, what if this happened…” Those things, those pieces she is right. It was a couple things that were fishy about the evening but no one told me to do or say anything.
Why did she even admit it?
I don’t know and that’s where we are now. Evelyn is my friend so we talk and some friendship stuff. I said, “Ev you know, you didn’t have to say it but she felt for whatever reason from some where that she did need to talk about it. Ev is my friend, friend. That’s the one that I’ve been closes with from jump from when we were in Miami. I’ve known her the longest and I feel really bad because here we are now and she’s getting so much back lash on Twitter and FaceBook for something that was ten years ago.
Let me say this, It took about 10 people to pull Evelyn away. It was so many people on Evelyn. After Tami had got her little bit out, she kind of let it go but Evelyn, it took about 10 minutes and 12 people to hold her back.
Is Evelyn leaving the show?
Evelyn hasn’t told me that. We were talking and I’m being as supportive as I can as a friend and holding her down. No, she’s hasn’t told me she’s leaving and everybody has signed up for season 3.
Are you going to have anything to do with this alleged spin off show that Evelyn and Ocho Cinco are supposed to be getting?
That’s an alleged thing but that depends on the legal side. If it the same network.. that whole thing is how if I have any parts.
How do you feel about Hoopz being engaged to Shaq? Are they really engaged?
I really don’t know. I have no idea. We don’t talk about that.
