Matt Barnes is a certified cornball for going in on a bunch of women. Where they do that at? He played himself HARDBODY! www.yuregininsesi.com

i like Gloria and I dont think its any of the other houswives bizness what is going on in their relationship...if he is cheating all will come to light until then Gloria shud be happy with her hubby and her kids. i like Matt Barne of course a real basketball fan wud know who Matt Barnes is!!! These other houswives are just sour apple bitter bitches that are hating on Matt & Gloria's relationship...they need to get a man and a life and leave other ppl bizness alone! LONELY HOES!!!

@ Gloria, hun if you knew what I know you would not be defending Matt! and he is very wrong for saying these things about these women! and the girls was not saying not love your sister they were saying don't act like you innocent and it was right because it was not! All u should have said was if she did it then that was messed up and i'm sorry! like at least acknowledge that it was messed up, instead you act like it was whatever and that was wrong because both you guys called her your friend! anyways Karma is a mug is all i can say! have a good one everybody!

GLORIA IS THE ONLY RESPECTABLE WOMAN ON THE SHOW. ALL THE OTHERS ARE TRICKS....

Everyone can say what they want but the "Basketball Wives" show is reality. That's why they call it reality T.V. Everyone wants to JUDGE these ladies and call them immature hoes and b*tches and disapprove of there behavior BUT I'm 100% sure that everyone is this world has been involved, witnessed and or worked with people who are immature in there ADULT LIVES. Immature behavior is not an isolated behavior for children. Please recognize that children are reflections of there parents and peers. Everyday that I wake up, go to work, go shopping, go to the gas station, go to social events, go to the grocery store, go to the club, read gossip online and the comments made etc. I encounter at least one ignorant person. Therefore if you live in a perfect world where the weather is perfect and everyone is a "Stepford Wife" (programmed to perfection), and everyone around you is drama free and perfect then you must be dead and commenting from heaven. AS FAR AS THE WIVES GO: 1. SHAUNIE - is not a H*e, B*tch, immature or dumb for creating this show. Nor did she ever act out of character. She's been nothing but real and she's airing out the real. HATERS CHECK YOUR MIRROR. 2. GLORIA - word of advice: * NEVER SAY NEVER (My fathers advice about men: ALL MEN are CAPABLE of doing the same thing, you just find the one that is least likely to do wrong and is going to treat you the best). CAPABLE is the key word (of cheating), and I believe this applies to both men and women. Just ask your sister... * TREAT PEOPLE AS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED (what goes around comes around). * DON'T BELITTLE PEOPLE TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BETTER (the superiority complex is NOT a good look and doesn't work in the end). Unless you bleed blue blood and you don't need oxygen to survive because you are not of this world and you have super human powers. * ONLY WEAK MINDED PEOPLE AND FOLLOWERS ARE AFFECTED BY THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS (this is in regards to you saying that Royce image messes up you and Matt's image). YOU OWN YOUR IMAGE and if your relationship with your precious MATT is so untainted then neither of you should be affected or threatened by the images around you. IMAGE IS NOT PAINT, OR GLUE IT CAN'T BOUNCE FROM ONE PERSON AND STICK TO YOU. You created your own image on the show and it's yours ALONE. Royce didn't use her "Royce image stamp" and destroy you. You did it all on your own. * GET A LIFE - One thing that you can learn from your fellow co-stars is to GET A CAREER OF YOUR OWN. Being a"BASKETBALL WIFE" IS NOT A CAREER. Put God first, You second, Children third and let everyone else fall into place. * DON'T SUFFER FROM GROUP THINK - make your own judgment of people. 3. JENNIFER - Do you, and pray for guidance. 4. SUZIE - I Love your personality so vibrate, straight forward and the "Queen of Water" A.K.A. Ms. Poseidon, you don't play that sh*t. You'll drown a groupie in a minute! 5. EVELYN - I'm partial about your personality. You have a really unique Bipolar Disorder. One moment you're crying, next you're talking shit, then you're a virgin (I don't pole dance or dance provocatively because I'm a lady). Maybe your going through a Midlife Crisis. The man you need in your life is GOD with a side order of a Psychologist. And please change your hair color, it makes you look exactly like what you're trying not to represent --> a cheap h*e. 6. ROYCE - Gloria DID NOT BEAT YOUR A**... YOU BEAT GLORIA'S A**. You are truly misunderstood. You just need to tone down the booty shaken, anyone can do it and it doesn't show your dancing abilities off. Booty dancing doesn't represent anything that people are wowed or impressed by. 7. *MR. MATT A.K.A. Mr. WHO? --> DO YOU CALL YOUR MOTHER A B*TCH because you appear to have a serious case of B*tch A**ness. Why wait until after the show to blow up Twitter and whatever other media source. You and your wife did have an INVITE to voice your thoughts on the show. You both took the PUNK route. Check yourself, only the guilty entertain to divert attention away from the obvious THEIR SELF. Anyways I will be tuned in for Season 2

SAY WHAT YOU LIKE GLORIA WAS THE BEST LOOKING AND ONLY DECENT CHICK ON THE SHOW. THE REST WERE HOOD RATS , THATS WHY ME AN MY BOYS DONT DEAL WITH NI GG A HOES , MATT WAS RIGHT THEY JUST PISSED OFF BECAUSE HE AND HIS LADY ARE HAPPY AND THE REST ARE JUST JEALOUS CHICKEN HEADS. SHAUNIE AND ALL THE REST EXCEPT GLORIA ARE PATHETIC, ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH OLAWAKANDI, WHAT THE HELL HAS SHE BEEN SUCKING ON. YOU WOULD THINK BEING INVOVED WITH A NBA PLAYER SHE COULD AFFORD TO GET HER TEETH FIXED. ROYCE AND ALL THE REST SHOULD GO LOOKING FOR A JOB AT A STRIP CLUB , THATS ABOUT ALL THEY CAN DO. REALLY SAD.

What kind of real man goes on twitter and wines about a group of females. He needs to be trying to see where he will be playing next season, I don't see Orlando keeping him

Ok, I need to defend these women because this is some bs. Yes, their show isn't for all, but there are reality shows for almost every type of celebrity, athlete, new-comer, etc. Why is it when black women have one, they get dissed so hard? Are people upset cause they telling the truth and putting men and women on blast. If the stuff they were saying wasn't true, someone would come forth and say it, but they telling what really goes on with these men on the road. They put their lust before their families. If you want to run around, do you, but why get married? It is like they don't care the pain they cause. And for a man who cheats like the others, meaning Gloria's husband, to go in on women, well, that does make him a punk. His gf or fiance, or should I say baby mama, was bogus on almost every account. She really did feel she was better. I get that her life isn't theirs, but her attitude was horrible and she won't know until it happens to her. I just don't like how these women are being called fake, etc. They stayed with men for years and took a lot. Yes, some knew what they were getting into, but for a grown man to go in on a group of women makes me think that he is upset that they are telling the truth and also that he might have something to hide. When you do wrong, don't get upset because someone calls you on it. He should have kept his mouth shut. None of them said anything about him until he started in. Stop always treating black women like we ain't s**t. We get enough of that in the world, we don't need "our" men coming at us hard too. Since when did we become the group that doesn't deserve to speak our minds or the group that is less than? Get a grip. Just like Drake trying to go in on Lil Kim, stay with the men. To try and jump hard or have words with a female that really hasn't said anything about you makes you look like a punk.

On the heels 'Year of the big fat black woman (Mo'Nique, Queen Latifa and Precious) I like the show. It is refreshing to see black women live the glamorous life. And they are sexy and in shape.

matt barnes??? no one really knew who this he was until the show. so really he is riding the 15 minutes of fame too. ... that is why he is so upset. game recognize game!! check mate.. he is lucky his ass is even featured. and the only reason why is because shaunie wanted to find out more about gloria sister and shaq. other than that her ass would have not been on the show.

LMAO They're just jealous cuz right now she's the only WIFE on the show besides Jenn. The name of the show should be Basketball Baby Mommas.

Plenty was said about Gloria Govan during the Basketball Wives reunion, and now the absent cast member gets her say. If you wondered why Gloria didn’t make it to the reunion, she tells all in the interview below. In it, she also talks about why she didn’t care to defend herself against whatever her castmates had to say, severing ties with Shaunie, defending her sister and why she doesn’t want to appear in the show’s second season, but may anyway. Why didn’t you attend the Basketball Wives reunion? It just wasn’t something that was conducive to our schedules. You know, Matt was in the playoffs and I wasn’t going to fly across the country to hang out with people I’m not particularly proud of probably being associated with. I told producers that if they moved it to Orlando or Miami I would be more than happy to be there. I’m sure without me being there, there wasn’t anybody to pick on. I also wondered if you were making a statement like, “We’ll see how this goes without me…” I kind of heard it was a mess. That wasn’t exactly my intention, to be like, “Ha, check this out! It’s going to be a disaster without me.” It wasn’t worth me going out there. I am not interested on being on Season 2, so that was another reason. It would’ve been a mess really, because I would’ve gone out there and had a lot more to say. I didn’t watch the series. I didn’t watch Basketball Wives, but from what I heard and the little bits and parts I did see, which was probably a total of 15 minutes of all the episodes, I just wasn’t proud of it. I wouldn’t say I regret it 100 percent, but I was surprised and disappointed in how they edited the series and how they portrayed the women. It wasn’t scary that you wouldn’t be able to defend yourself against whatever they said about you at the reunion? Not necessarily. I think people are going to make up their minds regardless if I was there or not. I think being there would have opened up the flood ates to allow people to nitpick at what I have going on and ask me more detailed questions that I’m not willing to answer. I know people are going to talk about me whether I’m there or not. Had I liked to defend myself? Yeah, probably, but it probably would’ve gotten ugly. Not physical, but definitely ugly. What would you say to somebody that said you were being cowardly by avoiding the show? I would laugh. I just kind of that’s funny. I’m definitely by no means scared of any of these girls. If the reunion were held closer to me, especially while Matt was in the playoffs, I probably would’ve attended, but going across country and missing one of Matt’s games…it wasn’t that important to me. Was there any concern about the contractual obligation of attending? Or were you just like, “Whatever,” to that? Yeah, I was kind of whatever, because I’m kind of whatever to the second season. At this point, none of that really bothers me with the contractual obligations. So it didn’t really affect my decision whether I had to go or not. I think I’m just kind of over it. I’ve done Season 1. Again, I’m not particular proud of how it came off, but I do think I was real. I portrayed myself as real as I could while the cameras were shooting. What they do with the film after the cameras were off I have no control over. I don’t think I gave them a lot of opportunities to make me look stupid. It’s interesting that you have beef with the editing because I didn’t get the sense that the editing was unjust to you. You didn’t give them opportunities to make you look stupid, sure, but also, you didn’t look stupid, period. I think I’m my biggest critic, so the few parts I did see I wasn’t particularly happy about. I know the real things I said about the situations, about Royce, about Suzie, about Evelyn, about all the women and to see that cut down, or edited or nitpicked was a little frustrating. Again, I haven’t seen the whole series, but I’m just not happy with the overall production. I just don’t think it portrayed what I wanted to represent. It must take restraint to not watch the entire show. I would be scared if I were you, cutting myself off from what everybody else can see. Not really, because you’ve been there, you’ve done that so you’ve lived what people are watching. You know what went on. To see it cut down, edited, mixed up is kind of frustrating because it’s like, “Wait a minute, that’s not what I said. That’s not how that happened.” Matt and I both agreed not to watch it when he was in season, because a lot of distractions and unnecessary quarrels would’ve been brought up. I know that he needed to concentrate and I respected that he just felt like it wasn’t necessary to watch until the end of the season. What do you think of the stuff Matt said to the women on the show via Twitter? I think he has gone back and forth with them. I don’t have a Twitter account that I have used in a long time. I don’t follow them, they don’t follow me so it would’ve been pointless to get involved. Mainly, I told Matt don’t waste his time. They’re just unnecessary. They’re not a factor in our lives, to entertain ignorance belittles you and brings you down to their level. Part of me was proud of him, though. I was kind of excited. I was glad that he stood up to them. He protected me in a sense. I was excited for that, but I also told him it was probably a waste of time. Did you agree with him that Jennifer and Evelyn were Shaunie’s puppets and they’re all tricks? I would agree with the puppets statement. I definitely think these women are highly and heavily influenced by Shaunie, sometimes for the negative. I feel like Shaunie is the new Simon. Its kind of like, “Shaunie says we should do this,” “Shaunie says we should do that.” It was kind of like, wow, these women are grown women and supposed entrepreneurs. You would think they would be able to make up their own minds and establish avenues with their own judgments. At what point to do you say, “Hey listen, regardless of what Shaunie says, I don’t like Gloria or I like Royce for me, not because someone is telling me to do this”? Are you on good terms with anybody at this point? Surprisingly, I’m on good terms with Suzie. Suzie and I have BBMed each other throughout the series. A lot of the stuff that was said or portrayed on the show, we’ve actually apologized to each other about. There have been some times when Suzie has BBMed me and been down in the dumps about some of the episodes she was worried about. I tried to encourage her and just let her know that this is a small chapter in our lives and we shouldn’t allow it to make us sleep-deprived or anxious. Are ties completely severed with Shaunie? I think so. I don’t think I have aimed any of my comments at Shaunie in a negative light. From what I’ve heard, she had tried to say things about me or about Matt or about our relationship in general that just aren’t nice. I just think it’s also very immature. For someone to be grown with five kids, I feel like she should have better things to do with her time. There were a few finer points mentioned during the reunion taping that I just wanted to touch briefly. I think Royce felt like you swindled her. She felt like you had created this bonds that included play dates and cake-tasting, stuff beyond normal association, stuff that went into the friendship realm. I think she took some of the things that the producers were trying to do with her and I and interpreted them as my idea. Play dates and cake-tasting were suggestions that the producers had brought to my attention because Royce and I were the only ones with young kids on the show. Then when they realized Royce can’t bring her son on the show and she can’t talk about Dwight, then things started to change. Not that I was opposed to these things because in the beginning I didn’t know Royce. I didn’t mind at first, but then after having talked to Matt and stepping back a little bit, it wasn’t a good look. I told Royce, “I don’t mind being cordial to you, but at the end of the day I have to worry about my family, Matt’s teams camaraderie, his team’s friendships and stuff like that. I’m not going jeopardize his opportunity to get a championship ring, to come back next year for you.” I was just kind of explaining to her, “If you understand where I’m going from, great, then we can have a mutual respect for one another and it wouldn’t go past that.” At one point you called Royce “backstabbing,” but I didn’t see any evidence of her backstabbing on the show. That might’ve been more behind the scenes. Royce and I had a conversation after the pool party. She texted me and was just like, “Hey, I feel like I can’t trust anybody on the show, you might be the only person that’s just been real so can I call you?” So we talked. I’d given her my two cents about the girls: I didn’t particularly trust them, especially since Suzie was so new to the cast. I told Royce I’d heard some interesting things about Suzie. I felt like at the time that she wasn’t a fabulous mother. I was just expressing my feelings as she was to me. Then she went back to Suzie: “Oh by the way, Gloria said this, this, and this to me.” Someone did allege that you have nannies and you were hypocritical for calling Suzie out on that. I don’t have a nanny. I don’t have babysitters, not on a 9-5 basis, just if we’re doing a date night or an adult function. Matt’s best friend, Jeff, lives with us. He helps out but I don’t have a nanny per se. We don’t pay him to watch the boys. There was also talk that Royce had dislocated your shoulder during the boxing? Oh no. My shoulder was dislocated a long time ago. I had shoulder surgery when I was a junior in high school and it pops out all the time. Evelyn and Jennifer both contended that Royce won that fight. Was that how you experienced it? I didn’t go in there trying to hurt Royce, but in the episode you can see her trying to get aggressive so that’s what kind of turned the tables. We’d only had gone two rounds. Maybe the third one would have really dictated who won. From what we fought, it was definitely even. You said you weren’t particularly proud of your association with these women and I assume the show. Is it weird talking about it? Obviously you’ve done interviews, and you’re doing an interview right now, arguably extending your association with the show. I don’t think so. People want to know and so I’m going to tell them who I am and how I feel. I’m definitely going to use the show as it used me. I’m not going to deny and there weren’t any pros to doing the show. It has opened up many doors for Matt and I: clothing lines, foundations, events. But after that, the show and how it portrayed women makes me regret it because I might have helped portray women in a negative light. I was involved in it and these women, in my opinion, were very trashy, were very immature, were a crying train wreck. I didn’t want people to view us as just a mess, or think that all we do is shop. I didn’t want people to think that we live in apartments and we shop for Ferraris —that kind of thing. The exact thing I didn’t want to represent I helped make. That’s what’s frustrating. I thought Evelyn made a good point about blood ties during the so-called “last supper.” Do you think blood excuses everything? I understand where you’re coming from with your sister, especially when it comes to dealing with virtual strangers, but do you think that blood should excuse everything? There are definitely moral lines that you draw. If a relative was driving drunk and hit somebody, that’s just obvious. If the evidence is there, you side with the evidence. But emails aren’t enough evidence for me. What’s funny is that Evelyn wouldn’t believe that anyone could have set up my sister, and yet she says she’s being stalked and someone broke into her emails, stole her pictures, and put them online. Her attitude was, “What makes your sister so special to have her email be hacked?” Well, here I am saying well what makes you so special? I think Evelyn of all people should have taken a minute to step back and say, “OK wait a minute, this is happening to me.” She should acknowledge that it’s possible. When I mentioned that at the dinner, she had absolutely nothing to say. You avoided the reunion, but what is it going to be like when you run into these people? Given Matt’s career and where their men are I don’t think we’ll cross paths just because I haven’t crossed paths with these women before. But maybe there [will be] a day when we are all in the same state. You know we might be at some event, but again, it’ll just be a, “Hey,” but nothing more. It won’t be a hug or a kiss. It’ll just be an acknowledgment and that’s it. I won’t go out of my way but I will keep it cordial and respectful. It’s just too much energy to be all negative and nasty. Is there anything else outstanding that you feel like you have to clear up? I’m not interested in doing Season 2. If you do see me on Season 2, it will be for the wedding which is max one or two episodes, but other than that, that’s kind of it. I wish these women all the best of luck. I’ve used the show for what it’s used me for and I’m done. Not to say I’m the star of the show, but could you imagine the show without me? Everyone would just be crying the whole time.

matt shouldn't done the name calling...but the girls shouldn't be barbarizing matt's and gloria's life also..everyone is wrong in this so no one should take sides..except gloria she was pretty much caught up in the storm and was a victim for it afterwards

There is only one wife on that show and that's Jennifer. The rest of them besides Shaunie are babies mama's so they all need to shut up. Gloria is closer to being a wife than Royce will ever be. Royce can't even say Dwight Howard's name without the possibility of being sued. Shows like this make us look bad as Black women. Evelyn who spends 10 years of their life with a man and not be a "wife"? Then you brag and say you were the one that backed out. Get a life a ladies and Royce I don't know what to tell you to get!!!!

WHO THE HELL IS MATT BARNES?
