So a debate is on our hands ladies and gentlemen. For the last week, we have been teased with a preview of the upcoming episode of the “The Basketball Wives” that shows Eric Williams bullying his estranged wife Jennifer by throwing a glass of liquid in her face at a dinner meeting.
Judging by the lead up, it appears that Mr. Williams was being a brute and was being abusive to his wife. Or as so VH1 wanted us to think. So the full episode has been released and we see what led up to the event. Jennifer arranges a dinner meeting with Eric to discuss their divorce. Eric arrives cool and collected and speaking very peacefully to his soon-to-be ex-wife, while she on the other hand started almost immediately flying off the handle, yelling and making accusations against him.
After their back and forth conversation seems to go nowhere in regards to resolving their divorce settlement, Mr. Williams decides to leave and as he does with his back turned, Jennifer decided to vent her frustration and throw a glass of liquid on him. He in turn, did the same.

Now here’s the debate – was he wrong to retaliate? Here’s my opinion… Let me first say, I believe that women should be treated as equals and we need to assign them due honor as the weaker\delicate vessel that she is, it is not in her design to be matched toe to toe with a man physically or emotionally, we are definitely two different animals.
With that said, if a woman wants to be treated as such she needs to act like a lady to be treated like one. Clearly, we saw that Jennifer instigated the situation. She decided to throw not just the liquid but the cup itself which shattered at him and in turn she received a due reaction. However some say, that as a man he should not have responded that way. Well, you can’t have it two ways. Even when striving to give honor to females, there are some gray areas. I don’t think he went overboard at all. He didn’t hit her, he returned the favor, so to speak and in turn threw the liquid, but not the glass as she did.
Now if he would have hit her that would be totally different, because again she is the more delicate person, it’s in her design not to be able to stand up physically to a man. The both of them need counseling for their own issues before they proceed in any new relationship because obviously their tumultuous marriage left them very bitter people. Both of them were very wrong and because they reacted the same, no one person can be held accountable. I’m just glad he didn’t two-piece her because he was being driven to that point.
The beautiful AND talented Mrs. Alani “LaLa” Vasquez-Anthony isn’t quite down with the reality circuit. After the success of her previous series, “LaLa’s Full Court Wedding”, VH1 will be chronicling her ever-exciting life again in the new series – “LaLa’s Full Court Life”.
I love LaLa and what I love even more is her drama\tabloid-free lifestyle. Even when haters and nay-sayers try to drag her through the mud, even making accusations against her husband, NY Nicks player Carmelo “Melo” Anthony, she still rises above the rumors and presents herself with class, now that’s the epitome of a TRUE basketball wife! Shaunie O’Neal, take notes!

Once Indie, now major label band “Kings of Leon” have officially cancelled their U.S. Tour. Honestly, I am really tired of their lead singer Caleb Followill being such a high maintenance diva! I was done with him after he commented that he didn’t like that the majority of their fans came onboard when they were signed to a major deal and “Use Somebody” became a pop hit, rather than their indie material.
Then there was his rant on Ryan Murphy, Creator\Executive Producer of Glee about not wanting their songs on the show. Then recently it was the Dallas incident where they cancelled the show because it was too hot for him to sing, and now the U.S. tour is canceled because he needs vocal rest. Hey Caleb, how about you if you would just shut up, stop making immature remarks about people, stop bad mouthing fans and just sing – you know the job you’re paid to do! It’s bad when your own band mates have to apologize for their lead singers antics because he is such a douche! Grow a pair dude!

And Ms. Lauryn Hill spits out her latest seed and keeps it truckin’! I’ve heard of getting back to business, but dang ma, it was just several days ago when you gave birth and she’s already back performing this past Sunday. Should she be putting on shows yet? Then again a single mom with six kids does gotta keep the rent due on time. *Kanye shrug*
