Per the Huffington Post: A petition boycotting Evelyn Lozada's violent outbursts on "Basketball Wives" has garnered massive support just as news breaks that the reality show is being turned into a movie.
The creator of the petition writes: "Evelyn Lozada is a bully. The
violence on 'Basketball Wives' is horrible and disgraceful. Physical
assaults, threats, verbal abuse, and harassment. VH1 is rewarding this
behavior by giving Evelyn a spinoff. Don't reward negative behavior."
The petition calls for the boycott
of "Eva and Ocho," a new VH1 spin-off show featuring Lozada, who lives
part time in Miami and owns shoe store Dulce in Coral Gables, and her
NFL baller fiancé Chad Ochocinco.
Over 20,000 people have signed the petition, which states "This is
not a hate petition against Eveyln Lozada. We simply will not support
violence. It hurts to see violence amongst women on television for
entertainment purposes. It is not ok for women to hit each other on TV."
Meanwhile, BET reports that "Basketball Wives" star and producer Shaunie O'Neal just signed a deal with Fox Searchlight to make a "Basketball Wives" movie with "Jumping the Broom" producer Tracey Edmonds.
