Out of the three new wives added to the cast of Basketball Wives LABrandi Maxiell, wife of player Jason Maxiell, was the one you presumed to be the least confrontational and argumentative. You know, given she was introduced to us as the friend of the ever-pretty peacemaker, Malaysia Pargo. Well, not so much. Just ask Sundy Carter.

That said, say what you will about Brandi, but she is a proven survivor. On the season premiere of the show, Brandi opened up about her battles with ovarian cancer several years ago and her pursuit of baby number two despite the obstacles. If you take one look at this gallery, you can see why she wants to make additions to the family hold. She, her hubby, and their baby boy all give happy Black family sitcom realness.

Take a look and welcome Mrs. Maxiell, why don't you?
