Producers of VH1’s “Basketball Wives” have more to deal with than boycotts and petitions now that its stars are continuing to drum up on drama online. The latest “wife” to raise Cain is Royce Reed, the mother of Dwight Howard’s toddler son. Over the weekend the dancer and now ex-girlfriend of NFL player Dezmond Bricoe decided to delete her Twitter account after complaining about the “toxicity” it was bringing into her life. “Toxic people make for a toxic life… Remove them even if it’s hard. U will feel better & be better in the end!” she wrote on the social network leaving her 400,000 plus fans in the dust. Her deletion was short-lived, however, and a day later she reactivated her account with this message; “I’m am back. Not by choice. I’ll be gone again after the reunion. #MovingAlong @VH1 #BBW #BasketballWives #RoyceReed #ThisSh—IsCrazy!”
With her Twitter account back online, more than likely at the orders of VH1 execs, Reed appeared Saturday at the taping of the “Basketball Wives” reunion. She was photographed onset alongside producer Shaunie O’Neal, Suzie Ketchum, Keshia Nichols, Jennifer Williams and, of course, Evelyn Lozada. Lozada was photographed by her fiancé, Chad Ochocinco, while being fussed over by her glam squad. “Yeah she fine but I just want her money,” Ochocinco joked about his wife-to-be online.
