Shaunie O’Neal: ‘Basketball Wives’ Movie Not Like TV Show

“Baskeball Wives” executive producer Shaunie O’Neal is hoping the film will redeem her vision and give fans a better perspective of what she was hoping to accomplish with the reality show.

“It’s a love story. It’s an empowering story. It’s funny. It’s life,” she told Vibe. “We’ve taken a girl who’s just going into the NBA life and experiencing things and showing the whole story. She learns from the organization. She learns from other wives, and by the end of the story, it’s empowering for women and men.”
