Lozada, 36, is gearing up to star in her new reality television spinoff show that will serve
as a prelude to her marriage to NFL player Chad Ochocinco. After receiving backlash for
her violent personality on “Basketball Wives” and publicly apologizing for them, the reality
television star recently said she is blessed for the opportunity to star in “Ev and Ocho”
which is set to debut on VH1 in September.
“It’s unfortunate the world doesn’t get to see every side, but I’m also so thankful that you
know God blessed me with another show, which is the ‘Ev & Ocho’ show, cause you get to
see a totally different person of Evelyn,” the reality television star told radio personality
Egypt Sherrod recently. “You get to see what I’m really like, so I’m happy about that.”
Lozada, who is currently promoting her first novel, Inner Circle, was the subject of a
change.org petition signed by 32,107 who called for an end to “Basketball Wives” and her
spinoff show. While Lozada may not be ready to confirm her return to “Basketball Wives,”
she told Sherrod that her soon-to-be stepchildren made her think twice about her role on
the show.
“I was with my step-babies and they’re young – 8 and 7 – Chad’s kids, and I’m in the car
with them Easter Sunday, I’ll never forget this, and they are literally reciting to me every-
thing that happened on the episode with the bottle throwing,” Lozada revealed. “I mean
I really sat, I was so embarrassed. I was like oh my God, that was that moment for me
where I said you know I need to do better.”
