TT Torrez talks with Tami Roman of Basketball Wives about her ugly marriage with former basketball player Kenny Anderson. She also discusses single motherhood and living the reality show life. Check it out…

Highlights:

  • Tami says she decided to do “Basketball Wives” because she wanted to share her story because after watching the first season, she didn’t think her life/journey of being a basketball wife was really represented.
  • Once divorced from Kenny Anderson, Tami said she had to go on government assistance to provide for her children.
  • Kenny Anderson had not seen his two daughters with her in 10 years. Since the show aired, she says her daughters have spent time with their father but there are still communication issues that need to be solved.
  • She said she’s just like everybody else and has her “moments” on the show. She said she went off on the show because behind the scenes it was brought to her that people were making jokes about her being on food stamps.
  • Her and Jennifer Williams have talked their differences out and they can now be cordial to one another.
  • She was never bitter about the prenup because she was in love with Kenny and never thought they would be divorced. She says she IS bitter about the way their marriage played out and that he didn’t do the right thing after their divorce.
  • She said during her 6 year marriage with Kenny Anderson he had TWO children while they were married with his mistress.
  • She doesn’t reach out to the other baby mothers except for DJ Spinderella (from Salt-N-Pepa) because most of the other women came about while they were married. Spinderella was with Kenny before Tami and Kenny were married.
  • She says she doesn’t know if Kenny Anderson is actually broke but she knows he doesn’t pay her child support.
  • She says she works at a finance firm now and she can provide for her daughters. She also said she’s in the process of writing a book.
