Last week's episode of 'Basketball Wives' dropped a massive bomb - Jennifer Williams and Tami Roman were aware of the rumor that Evelyn Lozada slept with Shaunie O’Neal’s ex. Now Roman has stepped in to prove that it was Williams who started it off in the first place.

Roman hinted at O’Neal last week saying she already had the information that “might affect you.” As it turns out, it was all about Lozada, which the star fiercely denied. This week, when Williams, Evelyn, Jackie, Shaunie, Malaysia, and Roman met for drinks, Williams again dropped the topic asking Shaunie to "tell-em you not heard a conversation about Evelyn sleeping with your ex."

When confronted by Shaunie, Williams went on, and said: "Several people in Miami asked me about it and Tami asked me about it.”

Roman went berserk after the blame was pinned on her by Williams. “I heard that s— from you! I ain’t never heard that s— before!” she shouts. “So the fact that you sittin’ up here tryna say I asked you, that ain’t even accurate.” O’Neal later asked if Williams had been “looking for receipts” to bring up the rumor, Williams blatantly denied.

On July 3rd's episode, Roman, who swiftly accused Williams of lying, apparently led her to provide some stunning proof.

In the episode, Roman later meets O’Neal exclusively and reveals all the texts she got from Williams in a group chat that O'Neal isn't a part of. 

“As you can see, I’m not even in the conversation," Roman tells O’Neal at the 12:58 mark.

O'Neal reads the messages; “‘Shaunie never got back to me ladies, we need Malaysia to drop a dime to her about her ex and that witch."

”You need proof and solid hardcore proof,” she adds of another’s response.

“Ugh, I know. Gotta nail her ass to the cross with this. With no resurrection.'” Williams texts back.

Once the episode was out, fans instantly took to social media to share their opinions and applauded Roman's way of providing the proof. "Tami Got Receipts Jen That’s Messed Up If This Whole Thing Is A Lie #BasketballWivesLA," one comment read.


Eventually, Williams owned up to her part in the rumor but forgiveness is hard to come by for O'Neal, and she definitely won't forget.
