In a recent interview with E! News’ 'Just the Sip', Lozada revealed that it was time for her to move on. She said, "I am no longer going to do Basketball Wives. I think that it’s time for me to open up the universe to other things and it’s been a hard decision because I can do it with my eyes closed. But it’s so difficult and it takes so much energy and it’s not the most positive energy".
