‘Basketball Wives’: Reality Star Evelyn Lozada Has New Oprah Winfrey Network Docu-series, 'Livin' Lozada'
Evelyn Lozada is set to star in a new, Oprah Winfrey Network-produced docu-series, "Livin Lozada."
MadameNoire reports the former "Basketball Wives" star will mark her return to reality TV on July 11 in a show promoted as following "the lives of Evelyn Lozada, of 'Basketball Wives' fame, and her 21-year-old daughter Shaniece."
Lozada is further described as having moved away from the heartache of her highly publicized divorce from former NFL Chad Ochocinco "in a big way." Currently, she is engaged to L.A. Dodgers star outfielder Carl Crawford and the two have a 1-year-old son together.
Beyond learning to become a mother to a young child again, Lozada largely spends her days setting up a new home for her family in Los Angeles and working on getting the sequel to her first book published.
Meanwhile, her daughter's schedule is billed as almost just as full.
Shaniece is purported to have "a blossoming modeling career" and is working on starting her own bikini line.
In addition to "Basketball Wives," Lozada also previously starred alongside Ochocinco on a VH1 reality show, "Ev and Ocho." In 2102, network execs quickly pulled the plug on the show after the couple was involved in a highly publicized domestic abuse incident.
According to People, in August of that year, Ochicinco was arrested in domestic abuse charges following a head-butting incident that ended with his newlywed wife nursing a huge gash to her forehead.
"Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series 'Ev and Ocho' from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it," the network later said in a prepared statement.
Formerly known as Chad Johnson, Ochocinco played 11 NFL seasons with his best coming with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2005 when he had 97 catches for 1,432 yards and nine touchdowns.
"Livin' Lozada" is set to air each Monday at 9 p.m. ET.
