Shows Brandi’s Return to Basketball Wives Had Everyone Feeling a Way "Did we open them with welcome arms?" by Damian Bellino 5/23/2017 Embedded from media.mtvnservices.com. </noscript> </div> Brandi Maxiell may have taken a few episodes off from Basketball Wives but she won’t go down without a fight. The Basketball Wives LA favorite returned to the series last night much to Tami, Evelyn, and executive producer Shaunie O’Neal’s chagrin. Soon after Malaysia brought in her BFF, the “Miami ladies” right quickly moved through the restaurant and onto the street to grab a cab far away from her. Not one to take the ’L’ that quickly, Brandi and Malaysia followed Tami, Shaunie, and Ev, demanding answers for why they were leaving and ignoring her. “So no one here is going to say a word to me? No one?” Brandi kept going, “You feel threatened?” Brandi then seemingly throws some shade at Shaunie and her executive producing, saying, “Mm, someone wants [it] to seem like they have power.” All in all, even with Jackie pleading for a kumbaya moment over clam dinner, the Miami ladies refuse and call Brandi “corny as f–k” and “thirsty.” Dang! So, it’s like that? Is this the end of Brandi or is it just the beginning? Find out when Basketball Wives returns on Monday, June 5th at 9/8c. Damian Bellino @damianbellino
