Evelyn Lozada -- one of the stars of "Basketball Wives" who was once engaged to former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker -- is being sued for allegedly receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally.
The story is shocking. Walker raked in a whopping $110 million during his NBA career, in addition to untold millions in endorsements and other deals ... and he blew ALL OF IT and a lot more.
Walker filed for bankruptcy last year, and now the bankruptcy trustee smells a rat. It seems Walker gave Lozada $560,000 when he already knew he was going belly up. The trustee has sued Lozada, claiming the transfer was fraudulent -- an attempt to hide money from legitimate creditors.
The trustee says Lozada used the money to start a Miami shoe store called Dulce, and now the trustee wants the $560k back.
We're told Lozada and Walker insist there was no funny business. He gave her the money to help pay her bills. Sources say Lozada funded Dulce NOT with the $560k, but by selling her engagement ring. And, our sources say, Lozada had no idea Walker was so deep in debt.
Rich people's problems ...
My how things change. Or do they? Sheree Whitfield has confirmed she has decided to leave "Real Housewives of Atlanta," after reports of her actually getting FIRED have been circulating for several weeks. Check out her statement about the matter on why she feels the show no longer "caters to her lifestyle"...
Despite the fact that all reports pointed to Sheree getting fired from the ATL franchise of Bravo's Housewives, she claims today it was her own decision to leave. She tweeted today:
Yes it is official I'm leaving Real Housewives of Atlanta. I enjoyed my time working with everyone affiliated with the show.
She states this show has taken a turn for the worse and no longer caters to her lifestyle. And she's tired of the fighting and cattiness. Guess she wasn't tired of it the first 4 years she was a major participant in it:
“After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness.”
“I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck. I’m thrilled to say I’m now a free agent and am already fielding offers.”
Sheree says she'll now have time to focus on her clothing line She by Sheree (oh...) and her new fitness ventures. And she denies she was fired in NYC which led to her not attending the Bravo Upfronts party. She says she and her family were actually in Puerto Rico (pictured below).
Do you boo.
