Last year you might have thought Basketball Wives LA was over, but NOPE Basketball Wives LA returns and Brandi Maxiell is amongst the ladies returning!!!

Find out who got FIRED and why Brandi Maxiell returns to Basketball Wives LA on the flip…

CelebNReality247.com had a hunch that BBWLA executive producer Shaunie O’Neal would be bringing back her reality series but who knew that Brandi Maxiell DIDN’T GET FIRED!

Last season ended with an EXPLOSIVE fight between Brandi Maxiell and Shaunie O’Neal. Everyone assumed Brandi was FIRED. Well sorry to break it too you all, but Maxiell is returning for another season of drama, and of course to hash out things with Shaunie.

CelebbNReality247.com got the news via an interview with Radar Online, where Brandi Maxiell revealed that they had just finished filming Basketball Wives: LA Season 5.

The reality star admitted that it had been difficult seeing everyone again after what happened in Season 4. She shared that things got really intense to the point that she still had a headache a month after filming. Fans can clearly expect more drama coming their way when Basketball Wives: LA returns later this year.

We previously reported that Brandi was FIRED after a huge argument at a dinner with the girls on the show where Maxiell ended up calling O’Neal, a “b***h.”

Brandi held that she is not one to back down from a fight. She added that Basketball Wives fans knew her as someone who speaks her mind. Brandi argued that the fans love her because she always keep it real.

Brandi says:

“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.”
