Lozada Divorce: ‘Basketball Wives’ Star Canceling All Public Appearances After Split
Evelyn Lozada’s divorce from Chad Johnson is apparently taking its toll the the reality television star.
One of the featured faces in Basketball Wives, Lozada is reportedly not ready to face the public following a brutal week in which she broke up with now-unemployed NFL receiver Chad Johnson, TMZ reported. Lozada’s divorce has caused her to cancel all public appearances, most of which would have furthered her now-damaged career.
Several of the appearances canceled in the wake of Lozada’s divorce were appearances to promote her book The Wives Association: Inner Circle, TMZ reported. She was on the second half of the book tour. Lozada also had various club gigs and a book expo scheduled for next month where she was to appear alongside fellow reality television wife Teresa Guidice.
According to TMZ, Lozada is not ready to answer questions surrounding the domestic violence incident that led to her divorce. The couple was married for just 41 days when Lozada filed for divorce after her husband allegedly head-butted her.
A representative for the star of the VH1 reality show confirmed the Lozada divorce filing earlier this week.
After the incident Johnson took to his official website, OCNN, to publicly affirm his love for Lozada, the Associated Press reported. He said he wanted to let the legal process run its course and that he had “no negative words” to say about Lozada.
The fight that ended the marriage allegedly stemmed from a receipt for condoms that Lozada found, leading the couple to argue during dinner. The fight continued on the way home, and, as the couple arrived in their driveway, Johnson allegedly head-butted his wife. Johnson maintains that it is his wife who head-butted him.
The Lozada divorce was part of a pretty bad week for Johnson. Following the incident, he was cut by the Miami Dolphins, a normally behind-the-scenes action that in this case was broadcast to America as part of the HBO show Hard Knocks.

What a disaster!
Aug 19, 2012
It's a damn shame the man lost him job because of that crazy beotch!
Aug 19, 2012
He lost his job because of HIS actions……. so whether he was with Eve (who I can't stand) or another woman, he caused is own fate resulting in losing his job. He could've just walked away from Eve & went to live with the heffa he was going to use the condoms on.

what does this mans marriage problems have to do with him playing football?
Aug 19, 2012
Him playing football has nothing to do with his marriage and not for nothing: he lost his job because of HIS own actions. No reason to make her responsible for him, he's a grown man chose to marry this woman, so he got what he earned.

..How is Evelyn considered a basketball wife, she was never married to a player. In fact, only ONE of the women on that insipid show is. And she has only been married to a professional athlete for what, 4 months? She is neither a basketball wife or an inner circle wife, I don't get it…

The dolphins fired this man for nonthin! She was in it for the $$$ anyway.

I am not condoning any type of violence be it physical mental etc. by either sex<man or woman> but if he did headbutt her (and I still don't believe he did that to her{he is innocent until proven guilty or by self confession}due to the knowledge of her violent attitude that everyone has seen on tv she might hv headbutt him idk)he should b in the jail celebrities are not exempt bt it is unfortunate that the man lost his job over it., but I said all that to say how she going to get upset cause he got caught being a man ho she already knew before they got married tht he was a man ho she practically gave him permission to b a man ho did she really believe that he was going to say o ok I'm a married man now so I should stop being a man, no boo boo thts what men do they cheat* not all of em tho, gotta throw tht in there, especially if u tell them to do so, u told him to b upfront wit you thts called a contradiction Ev at least u know he wrapped it up the argument was over that piece of evidence.#myopinionandimdone.

IKR thats very unfortunate

"Lozada’s divorce has caused her to cancel all public appearances, most of which would have furthered her now-damaged career." Her career is far from damaged.. now Chad's career is pretty damaged. If you look at the Rihanna/Chris Brown incident you'll see that the incident caused more support for her than anything. I see Evelyn's career far from damaged. I mean its unfortunate what happened between the two but controversy causes more viewers and more viewers = more $$$. She will have interviews later and the ratings will be high because of the much anticipated "What Really Happened" interview is on its way. Yep we have resorted to this for entertainment.

Eve has been in the public eye for years just lovin it making all that money and now that she knows she has made the mistake with a marriage to mayor buttyacinco she wants privacy guess she will now think twice about hitting anyone now on BBALL WIVES.
Aug 19, 2012
I hope she stays out of the public eye. No one was interested in that whack book anyway. I'm sure she's plotting her next scheme to keep her 15 minutes of fame going now that marrying a successful athlete has backfired on her and their show was cancelled. Gold digger!
Aug 19, 2012
HER career? LOL if you call laying on your back with your legs open for the highest ignorant bidder a career, then HER career is def not in danger of any kind!

She asked for it gold digger. This man told her in her face that he wasn't going to be faithful, she still married him. Shame on her! She got what was coming to her!

I am appalled by the lack of compassion.

she was married to a nba player

She was never married to any NBA player. She was engaged to Antoine Walker.

You right !!!
Aug 20, 2012
What is really sick is the amount of women and Black women at that who can sit on these types of forums and say " she deserved it. Shame on all of you its disgusting and seriously embaressing that for women of color to condone any type of violence towards any woman no exceptions. You should all be ashamed of what your posting.
Aug 20, 2012
I Was Never A Big Fan Of Evelyn Nor Chad, But I Feel Sorry For The Man. Domestic Violence Is A Zero Tolerance, But The Man Lost His Career Over This Woman, Whom He Was Married To For 41 Days. Evelyn Knew EXACTLY What She Was Doing. I Have No Sympathy For Her.
Aug 20, 2012
This man has a history of violence towards his female partners. He had not been playing very well his last few games followed by the fact he did what he did. Regardless he was going to be dropped and did what he did to himself. She is no Angel but my goodness women who make statements like yours sadden me deeply.
Aug 20, 2012
Thats the sort of statments abusive men make when their wives and children run and hide in Battered shelters. I wish you would take the time and effort to volunteer to work in one of those places before you would make such an insensitve statment. As a woman i feel ashamed of you.
Aug 20, 2012
I totally agree with you Johanna its making my skin crawl just what some women are printing. its scary I feel sorry for their sons if they are raising any and scared to death for the women they will be involved with in their future.
Aug 20, 2012
I have seen maybe two episodes of Basketball Wives, and both times, Evelyn was jumping across tables to whoop someone because of something minor they said, and acting like a complete idiot. Based on that, so hard to imagine her not being the aggressor in the situation. Physical abuse can go both ways. It is unfair that the men always take the rap for this. Especially when the female has a history of having a quick temper, and being so violent. It's he said/she said in this situation. Very unfortunate no one will ever really know the truth.

It's the public image, as well as the team owner didn't feel chads' actions best represented the team, he's kind of a suit and tie, straight laced kinda guy, chad wasn't, I wish the rams would give him a shot.

If you have ever watched basketball wives you would now why there was a lack of compassion for this street brawlin bully. I think someone else hit the nail on the head when they said Chad got him a hoe streetfighter and that was putting it mild.

My biggest thing with all of this is that there are millions of women who die as a result of domestic violence and some who endure real domestic violence on a daily basis and have no way out. Then these women like evelyn and Rhianna come a long and get all of this media attention for one incident. I don't understand how this works? Go live in a shelter with your kids cause you don't have any where to go and your husband put a shot gun to your head after he beat the dog shit ot of you. Your damn right I don't feel sorry for them. There are women out here who live this day in and day out who can't even get police to help them. So find something else to make a buck off of and stop crying domestic violence.

Sindy Finn Putney are you nuts? You mean his incident in college? He has had baby mama drama for 12 years now with no incidents, meanwhile Ev has been DOCUMENTED on TV instigating and fighting for what, 4 years? So much so that women groups protest her. Sindy, wake up. This chick is not the one to defend
Aug 20, 2012
What the Hell she knew that chad was a player why she get mad she most likely head butted him she throws bottles at others and fights the weak don't see her saying anything to Shawnie or that big girl tammy lol>>>.
Aug 20, 2012
you wouldn't listen.
Aug 20, 2012
I'm sure she is encompassed with compassion by many fans and supporters, but if in reality she is anything like her character on basketball wives which is a very rude, violent and hateful person than there is more to the story than what has just surfaced, personally I think it may be a ploy to get more money from Ochocinco. True a man should never lay his hands on a woman, but a woman should also be respectful and never put her hands on a man either, especially if they are married.
Aug 20, 2012
We have too many violent men walking in our streets. Two lives are now mess up because of violence.
Aug 20, 2012
Evelyn is only cancelling public appearences becuase 99% of the public DO NOT BELIEVE HER! the other 1% is her family, she is puerto rican (usually big family)so her family makes up the one percent. she's doing all she can to make herself the victim it's not working!
Aug 20, 2012
She will be gracing the pages a Playboy here soon most likely.
Aug 20, 2012
I knew chad was engaged to that hoe but after seeing her behavior on basketball wives I never thought he would marry someone like her and have her in his kids lives as their stepmother.chad bought this on his self by marrying a tickin' time bomb like evelyn. she is very violent and aggressive. to bad he had to lose his job because of this situation.

Jerry Hill You are right, adults know that they have to possess self control at the bare minimum. Your personal life is very telling about a person's maturity level. If you can't handle your personal life, you won't be able to handle strangers and business issues in a capable manner. Maturity is sexy. Immaturity is just juvenile, ignorrant or insane on a grown man – and that is NOT sexy, admirable or honorable.

Gina Bidinger You can't feel compassion for a man who chooses a less than stellar spouse. A man who chooses a woman like Lozada gets what – well – what he got. A woman who is wife material does NOT behave like Lozada. C'est la vie!
Aug 21, 2012
some didn't like her because she appeared as a bully on that show.
she bullied one of the girls who said her marriage to ochocinco is a scam, because he was a dog. and she was with him for the money.
i guess its true huh? now she is going to divorce and get half of everything now. lol half of whatever is now left.
he sounded like a retard. I'm sorry. like a straight douche. just a boy in man's body. everything he said was just childish. and she like others were into that $hit.what mesmerized by his wallet, or his looks? lol so now reap what u freakin sow…next!
