We all watched in horror, excitement, embarrassment and shock the Vh1 reality series "Basketball Wives" food stamp fight between Tami Roman and Jennifer Williams. It appears that while Vh1 is going outside the boundaries that were in place the first season; they're having second thoughts about it each time. First there was the apologetic story they posted on Shaunie about the gang-up on Gloria scene now they are trying to soften the blows thrown from this latest episode with a reenactment of the food stamp fight. The clip below was posted on Vh1.com today for a bit of comedy and to I assume show the ladies don't really hate each other. Just in case you didn't already know that reality TV is also scripted to a degree, any who check out the clip and the issued statement from the network:
To provide a bit of comic relief to a scene that has sent viewers� fingers typing (furiously at times!), here�s a scene-study exercise we performed when Jennifer Williams and Tami Roman were in the VH1 Digital office. We transcribed their epic, public fight over food stamps from this week�s episode of Basketball Wives and then had them read each other�s roles. (All thanks go to Chris Periera in Video on Demand for inspiration.) We hope you�ll find that the resulting role-reversal clip above is deliciously meta and sufficiently absurd. After all, what good is living life if you can�t laugh at it�especially when it is being beamed into living rooms across the world as a form of entertainment.
