Did ‘The View’ Co-Host Sherri Shepherd and ‘Basketball Wives’ starlet Tami Roman have a bitter Twitter-fued? Nope, not even close to a Tweetdown. However, the two talented, classy, and beautiful mothers did have a grown-up conversation that should be had by the millions of American households that watch television. Sherri Sheppard and Tami Roman expressed their viewpoints on the state of reality television, using Basketball Wives as a platform for discussion. While Sheppard, had words to share about the latest promotional piece to hit the air which involved two of the shows’ stars fighting, Roman came from a stance that the show is essentially entertainment television. Roman added that “hopefully ppl will watch us grow & work thru our issues-good,bad or indifferent”. Both women made good points within the dialogue but what made the conversation stand out for me as opposed to other celebrities who have “Twitter-Beef” is the two were three things. First, the two clearly shared their viewpoints as opposed to ranting and raving without any concise or identifiable message. Second, the two were having a dialogue that should be in every held in every household due to the current state of television and the need to decipher what content is appropriate for our children. Third, the two women expressed appreciation for each other and their comments in a classy way.

Sherri Sheppard made a number of comments that promote awareness in regards to the content that is mostly scene on television. However, in expressing her views, it was refreshing to see that she and Tami Roman, were able to be civil and maintain a respectful dialogue that is important in terms of topics that are clearly relavent in today’s society. Sheppard shared that “When one tweets their opinion, there’s always that feeling of “will there be a public twitterfight” … @TamiRoman didn’t bring that #classy“

I personally believe shows like Jersey Shore, Mob Wives, Real World, and yes even Basketball Wives and the Real Housewives series are a form of guilty pleasure because they bring entertainment. However, I think in large part we need to keep in mind of why these particular shows are entertaining. Is it because of the excess of alcohol, parties, wealth, violence, and drama that we watch these shows in the masses? It’s not the celebrities of the show to blame, because frankly, sex, alcohol, and drama tend to sell highly in terms of advertising and ratings. To the credit of the stars, the few shows that I have seen can highlight that a lot of these celebrities like Tami Roman being responsible and showing attributes of a good role model. A few of the scenes I’ve scene featuring Roman, features her being a beautiful and guarded parent striving to be the best parent she can be as a single mother.

Shepherd and Roman are amazing and accomplished women who at the end of the day share a common bond as mothers and were able to have a fued-free Twitter chat. I watch The View and have seen Basketball Wives, but the two stars made me a fan of both from their ability to be grown and respectful women in a world that tends to push combative women. So whether you’re #TEAMSHERRI or #TEAMTAMI in this Non-Twitter-Fued, you can rest assured at least these two women are on #TEAMGROWN. You can some of the conversation had by  @TamiRoman and @SherriEShepherd by clicking the photo below.
