More Inside

 

Lala opens up about why she chose not to a member on the show Basketball Wives in an interview with PYNK. I can think of a few reason why she didn't do... 1. The women on Basketball Wives are classless 2. She doesn't have time for the drama. 3. She is way more than just someones wife.

Lala Anthony is out working on her new show VH1's Lala's Full Court Life, which is set to air in September.

On Basketball Wives“I was offered a spot on the show. I turned it down. I have absolutely nothing against basketball wives, the show Basketball Wives, or anything like that. But I pride myself in being more than just a basketball wife. I understand that’s something that I am, but that’s not a title that I want to define me. I’d rather be known as a mom, a businesswoman, a producer, an actress, a TV host. I just felt like that didn’t fit who I was and where my career was trying to go.”

The Fashionista also opens up about what it means to be named the First Lady of New York.

On Being Referred To As The First Lady Of New York“I kind of laugh when people say it. It’s an honor to be called [The First Lady Of New York.] For people to even put us in the same category as Jay-Z and Beyonce — that’s just an honor in itself, but I don’t deal well with titles. To me, actions speak more than anything. It’s about being in New York now and being active, as New Yorker’s get active in the community. And getting out there and showing people what we are about outside of our businesses, with philanthropy and different things like that. That’s how you prove who you really are. You can be given a label and a title but what does that mean when there is nothing behind it? So for us, it’s about really embracing the city of New York. We kind of rushed and got here quickly, but now that we are settling in we’re starting to get out there and do some charity work and let people really see what we’re about as individuals, and as a couple.”
