Jackie Christie can beef with anyone, even her own family. In a recent episode of VH1’s Basketball Wives, things came to a head between her and her daughter, Chantel Christie, as well as Brittany Renner.
On a cast trip to Las Vegas to celebrate co-star Evelyn Lozada’s birthday, Chantel got into a verbal spat with Brandi Maxiell. She became irritated that her mother, Jackie, didn’t defend her enough. In fact, Jackie encouraged the two women to talk and make amends, despite Chantel’s opposition.
As Chantel continued to make it clear that she didn’t want to speak with Maxiell, Renner interjected, causing Jackie to become irate. Chantel made it clear that she was on Renner’s side, as the two women have formed a close friendship.
“How many drinks have you had?” Renner asks Jackie.
“I had this water, baby. How many have you had under your hijab?” Jackie snarks back, referring to Renner’s Muslim religion.
“What are you bringing up my hijab for?” Renner asks.
“I’m saying what I’m ******* saying. That’s what I’m doing,” Jackie shot back.
The two women nearly come to blows, with security having to hold them both back.
At one point, Jackie, 55, jumps over a couch. Chantel is visibly and audibly mortified by her mother’s behavior. She threatens to call her father Doug, Jackie’s husband, which Jackie asks her not to do.
Jackie and Chantel’s relationship has been contentious. Chantel has hinted at growing up in an abusive and emotionally manipulative household, with her mother as the head and her father being her safety net. At the start of the season, Chantel made it known that her mother hadn’t met her husband or nearly 1-year-old son.
Jackie is also estranged from her other two children. The other women on the show don’t touch the topic of Jackie and Chantel’s relationship but find it strange.
Viewers of the show had mixed reactions, with some agreeing with Jackie, and others agreeing with Renner. Some even said there were positives and negatives about Chantel being involved as well.
