#Breaking #News #BasketBallWives: MEEKA CLAXTON SUES TAMI ROMAN FOR ASSAULT

 Basketball Wives star Meeka Claxton has sued cast mate Tami Roman for assault and battery.

According to TMZ.com, Meeka is suing Tami for a fight they had last month at a nightclub in Italy. Early reports claimed that Tami punched Meeka in the face before they were both escorted out by club security.

According to the suit — which was filed last week in New York under her real name “Khameka Claxton,” Tami “assaulted, battered, beat, threatened, menaced, attacked, jumped on, pushed to the ground, thrashed, punched, and shoved” Meeka — causing serious injury.

• Meeka is asking for unspecified damages and has claimed that the incident cost her a day of filming and put her through emotional and physical hell.
• Tami responded via Twitter, “Y, Y, Y me Lord???” She later wrote, “To my twitter fam: I was unaware of this pending lawsuit until getting word from my publicist, to which I have no comment.”

'Basketball Wives LA' cast revealed: by Alla Byrne

Gloria Govan, fiancée of Laker Matt Barnes, bitterly feuded with other cast members during season one.

A new team of basketball wives will soon be holding court in Los Angeles.

"Basketball Wives LA," premiering August 29 as the latest installment of the popular VH1 reality series, will follow five women as they navigate the ups and downs of their relationships with NBA superstars -- and each other.

The cast includes Kimsha Artest, wife of Los Angeles Laker Ron Artest; Jackie Christie, wife of Doug Christie, former player for the Los Angeles Clippers; and Imani Showalter, ex-fiancée of Charlotte Bobcats' Stephen Jackson.

Fans of the original series, which takes place in Miami, will recognize Gloria Govan, fiancée of Laker Matt Barnes. Gloria bitterly feuded with other cast members during season one, but this time her sister Laura Govan will be there for back up.

If its predecessor is any indication, "Basketball Wives LA" is bound to bring drama.
