Basketball Wives Producers Respond to Kimsha


Last week a Facebook page that may or may not have belonged to Kimsha Artest went off on 'Basketball Wives LA' producers and Shaunie O'Neal for cutting Kimsha from the cast [click here if you missed that].

While Kimsha is indeed no longer with the show, the producers say it's not their fault...

From VH1
When Kimsha Artest signed on to be in ‘Basketball Wives: LA,’ we were very excited to have her onboard. That is why we were confused and disheartened when after a limited number of days shooting she stopped showing up for filming. This is the sole and only reason Kimsha has not appeared on more episodes of the series. Her minimal coverage on the show was entirely her decision and not that of Shed Media, VH1 or Executive Producer Shaunie O’Neal.’Basketball Wives: LA’ continues to be a ratings success for VH1 every Monday night.”

Kimsha insists the Facebook postings attributed to her are from an imposter and that she removed herself from the cast of 'Basketball Wives LA' because the women were not conducting themselves like ladies.
