Basketball Wives viewers say they’re tired of watching Chantel Christie-Jeffries “crash out” over her fractured relationship with her reality star mom, Jackie Christie.
On the July 14 episode of the VH1 reality show, tensions between Chantel and Jackie deteriorated as the group continued their trip to Hawaii, and the other women continued to meddle.
Denise Garcia mouthed off and asked Jackie if Chantel had unblocked her yet, to which Jackie calmly told her yes.
Brandi Maxiell mentioned to Evelyn Lozada that Jackie said she would only discuss her problems with Chantel on her YouTube channel or on the talk show she’s been trying to get off the ground.
“She’s unhinged!” Evelyn said about Jackie in response.

Evelyn immediately asked to have a private conversation with Chantel and repeated what she had heard.
“Brandi told me that Jennifer [Williams] told her that your mom said she would only have this conversation with you on YouTube or on her talk show,” she said.
Chantel lost it and said she was about to “crash out.”
That night at the group dinner things got ugly. Ming Lee confronted Jackie about always walking away to avoid addressing conflicts with her daughter.
“You have a problem with accountability,” Ming said. “Once you hear Chantel’s story, it’s giving, [we] gotta ride with Chantel.”
Brittany Renner smiled, held hands with Chantel and in a confessional interview called Jackie a “looney tune.”
Jackie said she’d heard enough and was leaving. Chantel told her, “Go, don’t nobody wanna sit up and do this stupid ass s–t with you.”
Brittany started yelling, “Go deadbeat, go deadbeat, go,” as Jackie walked away.
“Walking away in peace is the way to handle it,” Jackie said in a confessional.
VH1 posted a clip from the episode on Instagram that showed Chantel saying, “I’m about to crash out.” The post was filled with comments.
“Naw baby don’t crash out, you wanted to talk on the show amongst her FRENEMIES so keep that energy and talk on her show,” one viewer wrote about Chantel.
“It’s really sad,” someone else commented.
Another viewer suggested the family drama was part of a plot by show producers against Jackie.
“The COLLECTIVE PRODUCERS knew exactly what they were doing. No surprise here. Just sad,” the person commented.
“This series will mess up this family,” someone else wrote.
“Let this be Chantel’s first and last season,” another person said.
“The disrespect Chantel is allowing Denise and Brittany to give her mom is crazy,” someone else wrote.
One longtime viewer said all three members of the “Big 3” posse — Chantel, Brittany and Denise — need to go.
“From your OG’s who’s been watching the show for every bit of 13 almost 14-15 years please let this be Chantel, Brittany’s and Denise’s last season. Thank you!!!” the viewer wrote.
Another longtime fan said the entire Christie family has issues.
“A lot of y’all are new fans. Jackie isn’t a good person and doesn’t have a good relationship with any of her children! There is a lot of trauma and hurt! And for y’all to be putting it all on Chantel is crazy!” the person wrote.
At the end of the show, VH1 played a preview of next week’s episode, which showed Jackie and Chantel appearing to get into a physical altercation.
Meanwhile, Rolling Out is reporting there may not be a reunion as season 12 nears its conclusion because of the “feuds and family tensions.”
Basketball Wives airs Mondays at 8/7c on VH1.
The video below is a clip from Monday’s episode, above is an interview with Brandi Maxiell about the tensions this season.
