Basketball Wives Tami Romain dreamed of being the next Tyra Banks when she was MTV's The Real World, 19-years-later the hold no bars Reality TV star gets her model pose on in the latest edition of Everything Girls Love. Love and Hip Hop's Yandi Smith chatted with Tami about life, love, success, and keeping it real.
Read Tami's take on Reality TV, her portrayal of B-Ball Wives, and finding balance in her life below.
On Reality TV:
"When we did The Real World it was real. Nobody even knew it would turn into this phenomenon it is today. I think that Reality TV will continue to exist because production is cheap and everybody likes to feel like they are looking into everybody else's life. I think it is going to be around for a long time and people will just have to get used to it."
On TV shows/movies she's starred in:
"I played in a really good film called MacArthur Park; which is about a real life park in LA that is very havily drug laden. It was based on a true story and I played an actual real life character. I'm really proud of that work. People see me and they want to cast me as the pretty girlfriend ot the pretty best friend. That role allowed me to take out my weave and delve into the part. By the time I did that move I had developed a love for the craft."
On the way she's portrayed on Basketball Wives:
"I have to be honest. I cannot say that what people see is not me because that is a part of my personality, and yes I will go off on you. But, that is not all that I am. My biggest complaint is that there is not enough balance on our show to show people the other side. I don't walk around with boxing gloves on all the time."
On finding balance in life (with kids, a career, and a relationship):
"I put my family and my relationship first. I am now in a positive relationship with someone who loves me, my daughters, and respects me as a woman. We make our relationship a priority."
