Basketball Wives LA star Jackie Christie, wife of former NBA player Doug Christie, is receiving a lot of social media backlash after a Gofundme page belonging to her estranged daughter went viral.
It’s no secret that Jackie and her oldest daughter TaKari have a very strained relationship as it is known that the reality tv star refuses to acknowledge her daughter on the show while widely celebrating her relationship with her other daughter, Chantel.
TaKari has been very vocal about the fact that she believes her mother dislikes her because of her skin color and weight. Well, now she is in need after her son suffered burns from an accident while at his daycare.  TaKari  decided to open up a GoFundMe account: of
“Jaxson is a very happy- go- lucky lil 8 month old baby who was badly burned on his head, neck, and chest while being cared for at a local daycare earlier this week,” the account read. “Due to the extent of his injuries he has to go at least once a week to Harborview M.C. to meet with the children’s burn unit. His mother cannot go to work and doesn’t have enough vacation time to cover the extended leave she will need to provide around the clock care for Jaxson. At this point their family needs assistance to cover the financial hardships that this horrible injury will create in the near future until any legal matters are handled. This includes things such as transportation to and from Seattle each week, some bills, groceries, etc. Any little bit counts and will be greatly appreciated by Kari and her children. If you can’t donate it’s okay, but if you can share this page that would help greatly! Thank you very much.”
What’s infuriating to many is that all TaKari is asking for is $3,000 but why would she need to ask for such an amount when her mother is worth millions?
@VH1 please just go head and axe off @JackieChristie like she's crazy, clearly a horrible mom to her daughter and tooo damn old to be on tv

I'm sorry but Jackie Christie is trash. The relationship she's chooses to have with her daughter is so sickening. I feel so bad for Takari.

To make things worse, TaKari also opened up about the fact that she had no idea her mother and Doug had been remarried because she was never invited.
This isn’t the first time Jackie’s relationship with her daughter was put on blast. In Basketball Wives LA season 2 episode 10, Laura Govan had a sit down with Jackie’s daughter Chantel where she alleges that Jackie would make Chantel watch TaKari while she was forced to use the treadmill at the age of 12. She says that there were no family photos and that her relationship with her sister was strained because of her mother.
When the show aired, Jackie denied Chantel’s claims.
The Christie’s have so far been radio silent on the issue but on the bright side TaKari has already raised over $2,330 from supporters touched by her story.
Hopefully everything can be resolved soon because life is way too short to live it like this and at the end of the day the only person who should matter is the 8 month old victim. Let’s chat below!
