🎬 Jackie Christie, Her Daughters, and the Drama Behind the Scenes on Basketball Wives 🔥
This season of Basketball Wives didn’t just bring back old feuds and shade—it brought family drama straight to the main stage. And yes, it’s coming from none other than Jackie Christie’s household. 👀
Let’s break down what’s really going on with Jackie, her daughter Chantel (now on the show), and her older daughter Takari (who’s not... and has plenty to say about it).
🔥 1. Chantel Christie Joins the Cast
Chantel Christie—Jackie’s younger daughter—has officially made her debut as a main cast member this season.
While she may be new to the show, the tension is already sky-high. Previews tease a blow-up between Chantel and Jackie, with Evelyn Lozada even stepping in to suggest Chantel “remove her mother” from her life. Whew. 🫢 Family therapy, anyone?
😠 2. Big Sis Takari Lee Isn’t Having It
Meanwhile, Takari Lee—Jackie’s older daughter—is on the sidelines, but she’s not staying quiet.
She took to Instagram to throw shade at the producers, implying they purposely chose Chantel to manufacture drama. According to Takari, they didn’t want her on the show because she’s too real and not willing to play the TV game.
In a viral post, she wrote:
“So are they using the favorite daughter… because having you [Takari] come on there would be too real?”
Fans quickly picked up on the shade, with some saying Takari would’ve brought actual depth to the show’s storyline.
🎤 3. Chantel Claps Back
Chantel didn’t stay silent either.
She hopped on Instagram to defend her decision to join the show, saying she doesn’t need Basketball Wives for a check. She also shut down accusations that she’s exploiting family trauma for clout.
In her words:
“Those who know me, know my story. I’m done explaining myself to a bunch of strangers.”
✅ Final Thoughts
- Chantel is front and center on Basketball Wives this season, and it’s already shaking things up with Jackie.
- Takari says producers intentionally left her out and are using Chantel to paint a one-sided picture.
- Chantel says she’s not here for the mess—just her truth.
But let’s be real… the cameras are rolling, and this family drama is far from over. 🍿
What do you think—was it wrong for producers to bring Chantel in instead of Takari? And can Jackie handle the pressure of her own daughter joining the shade-filled cast?
