Confused. Ok, we all know the Twitter streets has some mean-spirited people out there but… You delete the Twitter to escape a mistake? What type of backwards is this? Tami Roman (finally) rides the high road, is she quitting Basketball Wives??

They say if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen..

It definitely got real heated for Tami Roman earlier this week after she showed her ugly colors during the last episode of ‘Basketball Wives’. Throughout the show, Tami bullied and took possession of a purse from castmember Kesha while they were visiting Tahiti which resulted in Kesha’s decision to leave the island out of fear and return to Miami. On Monday night, fans of the show tweeted in disgust at Tami’s behavior including Nicki Minaj who tweeted, ‘So disturbed by this episode. SAD’. For days, Tami and her daughters Jazz and Lyric were bullied by online commenters on both twitter and facebook before Tami and her daughters deleted their twitter pages altogether.

Today Tami revealed that she deleted her twitter because she has a new opportunity and she is ready to put Basketball Wives behind her:

I deactivated my twitter for the time being because I have been blessed with a wonderful opportunity to work with phenomenal actors on a new television show. I didn’t want to wake up to the continual negativity from a mistake made over four months ago, which I have openly acknowledged and apologized for to overshadow the blessing of this moment. I plan to reactivate my twitter when a formal announcement has been made about this new opportunity with the hopes of putting BasketBall Wives behind me.

After this week’s episode aired, Tami took to both her facebook and twitter to apology for her actions on the show:

I just landed in NYC, but I did catch 2nites episode on the plane. As I said earlier, this was BAD, wrong & immature –I apologize….I’m not proud of my behavior, but I own up to it and face it. I do apologize 2my family, my friends, my kids & 2 my cast members. The supporters who have been there, I’m sorry I let U down- this was not handled properly & I felt bad THEN and now. I simply ask that U b respectful 2my kids- they R NOT BBW & do not control my actions on the show. Don’t become what U criticize. I would have blogged this but I wanted 2 address it as soon as I landed. Accept it or nt, I acknowledge & apologize to ALL involved.

I don’t apologize for it 2b accepted – that is ultimately the other person’s right to accept or deny it. My only responsibility is to acknowledge a mistake was made and own up to it. I apologize to my family, my REAL friends, my business colleagues, and my Project Girl ladies 4my recent behavior on BBW. I am NOT a bully as depicted on the show, but I did make poor decisions in handling my differences with my cast mate. I sincerely apologize to all of us, as well as to my castmate who was on the receiving end of my wrath.

Meanwhile, Kesha wrote a blog after the show saying that she was ready to bring awareness to the issue of adult bullying:

What I experienced was extremely difficult and emotional for me, as I’m sure it is for all victims of bullying. Unfortunately, I had to relive my personal experience by watching it happen on national television. At the same time, I now have a platform to bring awareness to the issue of adult bullying in today’s society.

The whole situation is terribly sad. A week prior, I sympathized with Tami when she stated in an interview that she was the victim of online bullying so it was very disappointing that she allowed her anger to get the best of her yet again. She saidin an interview:

Waking up to negativity on Twitter, negativity on Facebook, negativity on blogs, it’s emotionally and mentally draining, and things people say because they think they know you for watching you one hour of the week, it can weigh on your psyche.

You don’t have to follow me on Twitter. You really don’t. You don’t have to like me on Facebook. You don’t have to do any of that. If you disagree with how I handle something or the way a moment went down, you can say that and you don’t have to call me a b!tc#. You don’t have to call me a lowlife. You don’t have to call me a hood rat. You don’t have to call me out my name to get your point across.

Let’s hope lessons were learned by everyone involved. During the reunion, Shaunie promised less fighting and more positivity [which they didn’t hold up to this season], so we can only hope that they will all grow up before the next season begins filming.

From the sound of her post, it doesn’t sound like Tami will be returning.

FINALLY!: Tami Roman Leaving Basketball Wives?!
