Evelyn Shuts Down Rumors
In a recent interview on ‘The Shade Room Live,’ Evelyn firmly shut down the gossip, making it crystal clear that she has never had a romantic or sexual relationship with The Game—who, for the record, is actually the ex of her daughter, Shaniece Hairston, and her grandson’s father.
“That is absolutely not true. And, I think it’s disgusting. At the end of the day, that’s my grandson’s father. We have a cool, little, private family unit, and for anyone to say something like that…[is]nasty work.”
Though Evelyn also claims that she is not “innocent,” she alludes to never crossing a boundary that sensitive. Her comments also mention how these rumors are being made up to “deflect what’s really happening,” seemingly hinting at her feud with co-star Jennifer Williams. Her comments come after Jennifer Williams and Christian Gold’s aunt, Lauren Stovall, alleged that Evelyn slept with the rapper on social media.
Social Media Has Mixed Reactions
Social media had plenty to say about the latest chapter in Evelyn and Jennifer’s feud—and opinions were all over the place. While some fans sided with Evelyn for standing up for herself, others felt that she was saving face for the camera. And, The Shade Room Instagram comment section was backed up with mixed reactions.
One Instagram user @diesels_world said, “Luv Evelyn”
This Instagram user @oouujeff commented, “Yall @evelynlozada voice always be shaking leave her alone 😂😂”
And, Instagram user @_juststeph35_ added, “Yall just don’t like Ev, I don’t think she’d lie if she did it🤷🏽♀️”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @chardonney86 said, “Is it just me, or does it sound like she is lying 😂😂”
While Instagram user @ebs_new_world wrote, “She got that same tremble in her voice she had when Shawnee asked her about sleeping with Shaq.”
And, Instagram user @vannahleashi commented, “Whenever someone has to add ‘At the end of the day’ just know they lying 😂”
Finally, Instagram user @biiggaheav said, “I wait until yall piss The Game off 😂 he will tell it all”
What Sparked This?
The tension between Evelyn and Jennifer appeared to reach new levels after Evelyn called Jennifer’s new man, Christian Gold, a “felon” during an episode of ‘Basketball Wives.’ Jennifer clapped back with a low blow, throwing shade by referencing Evelyn’s past relationships, including a jab involving The Game. That comment triggered Evelyn’s daughter, Shaniece, who jumped in to defend her mom, and things only spiraled from there.
Not long after, Evelyn decided to clear the air with receipts, taking to Instagram to share alleged text messages she sent to Jennifer, warning her against legally marrying Christian. In response, Jennifer posted an Instagram Story that turned heads — a photo of her husband, Christian, standing beside Evelyn’s ex-fiancé, Lavon Lewis. Without directly addressing Evelyn, she congratulated Lavon on his new engagement, appearing to send a loud message without saying much. But, things didn’t cool down from there—Evelyn hopped on X and fired back by accusing Christian of owing child support.
