Basketball Wives’ Reality Star Talk Lawsuit

In case some of you were wondering why Meeka “I got my own money and my husband was a basketball star” Claxton would need to file a lawsuit against anyone over a fight, she wants you to know it’s not the money.

I never respond to negativity on Twitter, but I do see a lot of people saying things like “Why are you doing this? Is it because you’re broke?” This has nothing to do with money – it’s all about the lesson. There are consequences to every action. And it may be cool for Tami to go around hitting them, but don’t touch me. I’m about my business, I don’t bother anybody.

I can’t believe that a woman could actually sit in a club – in Italy where we’re the only black women there – and perpetuate the already negative stereotypes that other people have of us. At the time, I was very upset. You can’t run around doing that. We’re not 16, 17 years old anymore. I’m not getting someone to “jump” you. I don’t do that anymore. I’m going to handle it like an adult. As mad as I wanted somebody to do something back to her, that’s not going to solve anything. She needs to learn her lesson. And if I do win the lawsuit, all the proceeds will be going to charity. It’s not about the money, it’s about teaching young women a lesson that when you do things like that, nothing good comes of it.

Word Meeka? You’re the one teaching young woman how to act? That’s why you watch the show with your kids, right?

We wanted to show that I’m running a business but I’m not just trying to sit on the couch and have my nanny take care of my kids. But when the first show aired, I sent my kids out of the room. That’s when I realized this wasn’t going to be a show they should see. I won’t let them watch it because they’re eight and two years old and I don’t want their perceptions to be tainted. My older family, they know the real me, the 99.9% that you don’t see of me on camera.

My number one job is being a wife & mother. I’m my kids’ role model before anybody else so I need to be the one to show them how to do things. You’re not going to be fighting in clubs, or any of that. If you’re dealing with a bully, go tell somebody. Don’t sit there and cry – you have to know yourself. The things Tami says on the show don’t bother me, because I know who I am.

Wait, this was Meeka CLAXTON talking, right? SMH.

At least it doesn’t sound like she’ll have to worry about being portrayed in the wrong light on the next season of Baskeball Wives.

Family over everything – my family and my money come first. You’ll see me on a few things. I can’t say anything about season 4 yet, but I have tons of upcoming projects I’m working on and you’ll see about them soon.

Yeah, in other words, Tami’s tough talk worked and Meeka hasn’t been invited back yet.
