<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Roommates, after a decade as the star of VH1’s hit reality series “Basketball Wives,” <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/evelyn-lozada-tearfully-responds-to-ex-chad-ochocincos-tweet-seemingly-referring-to-domestic-violence-incident/">Evelyn Lozada</a> confirmed in a recent interview that she is officially done with the show and will not be returning. Since the show premiered back in 2011, Evelyn Lozada has been a main cast member for the majority of the time the series has been on the air—but that era has now come to an end.</p>
<p>During an <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1274851/evelyn-lozada-announces-shes-leaving-basketball-wives-after-9-seasons">exclusive interview</a> with E!’s “Daily Pop,” Evelyn Lozada broke the news that “Basketball Wives” is now in her past, as she formally announced her exit after nine seasons on the show.</p>
<p>Speaking about her decision to leave the show, Evelyn said:</p>
<p><em>“I am no longer going to do “Basketball Wives.” I think that it’s time for me to open up the universe to other things and it’s been a hard decision because I can do it with my eyes closed. But it’s so difficult and it takes so much energy and it’s not the most positive energy.”</em></p>
<p>She continued, adding “Sometimes you have to say ‘Alright I gotta walk away from this’ – I have to close the door. So I’ve been feeling this type of way for the past few seasons. Miami days, we would have scenes and I didn’t care what happened in those scenes, I’d walk away. But now I have a conscious of what I say and what I do and what my kids are going to see. I walk away from it feeling heavy,” she said.</p>
