*“Basketball Wives” Evelyn Lozada is suing one of her co-stars for defamation, claiming she has lost out on several endorsement deals after being accused of being a racist.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Lozada is coming for Ogom “OG” Chijindu’s pockets after labelling her a racist bigot on social media.
We previously reported… fans are calling for Lozada to be booted from the reality TV series because of her racist rants against women she has conflict with on the hit VH1 show.
BBW viewers are supporting several petitions that have been launched on Change.org calling for the termination of the longtime cast member, RollingOut reported. It seems folks are not entertained by the conflict between Lozada and co-stars Jennifer Williams and CeCe Gutierrez on earlier episodes this season.

In one episode, she referred to Gutierrez as “Lee Lee” because she’s Asian. When asked who Lee Lee is, co-star Malaysia Pargo noted a girl from the nail shop.
Lozada is also under fire for calling co-star Jackie Christie a cockroach and equating Chijindu to a “monkey” in an Instagram post.
Chijindu responded to the comment on Twitter, writing: “AND THERE iT iS..SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS YOU RACiST BiGOT.. YOU CALLED CECE “LiNG LiNG” JACKiE A “COCKROACH” & NOW ME A “MONKEY” MAY GOD TAKE CARE OF YOU WELL WELL..EVELYN LOZADA..@vh1 NOT OK” (see her post above).
