'Basketball Wives' Brandi Maxiell Not Fired: Confirms Return to Shaunie O'Neal Series

Basketball Wives LA definitely brings that drama on the small screen, but is it rumors that have been breaking out from behind the scenes that are stealing the spotlight. It appears that one of the stars, Brandi Maxiell, who reports have been saying won't be returning to the cast after her massive fight with Shaunie O'Neal, will definitely be coming back for another round on the court.

According to RadarOnline, reports started circling when O'Neal, who is both a star and executive producer of the show, announced that she would not be having Maxiell return to the series.

However, the reality series star told the news site that she will definitely be back but didn't give away too many spoilers, as apparently everything was filmed for the show.

"You'll have to see how everything plays out and we just finished filming," the star explained to the news site, adding, "We definitely went back to bad moments."

"There were still bad feelings," Maxiell added about being back with the women again, according to International Business Times. "It was really intense and difficult. I had a headache for about a month filming," mentioning that the new season "is really good."

Maxiell also commented on her fight with Shaquille O'Neal's ex-wife, saying that while she respects Shaunie, she isn't shy to say what she thinks.

"I respect Shaunie and her movement and everything she did to help create and be a part of Basketball Wives. I respect where she comes from," the star explained, according to StarPulse. "But I'm a Southern belle. We aren't too shy of how we feel and what we think. You either love us or you hate us. We are big bright sunshine. So full of life. If you piss us off, we're a whole other different person."
