Child Please! Evelyn Lozada Covers Latina Magazine; Now She’s Trying To Clean Up Her Bad Girl Image
Shoetique owner-turned-reality star Evelyn Lozada covers the August 2013 issue of Latina magazine. Inside, the ghetto a**, loud mouth Basketball Wives fame whore talks about growing up in NYC, raising her daughter, being a reality star, her current relationship with her ex-husband Chad Johnson, the head-butting incident, starting a foundation for victims of domestic violence and much more. This issue hits newsstands July 9th. Below are some highlights:
On growing up in NYC:
“I was born in Brooklyn. I was born in Bushwick, on Putnam Avenue, then lived in Ridgewood, Queens and then when I was around 11, we moved to the Bronx.”
On raising her now 20-year-old daughter Shaniece:
âWeâre like best friends but she knows when it comes to me being her mother that, you know, Iâm going to be on youâre a** and Iâm going to check you about anything thatâs going on. And I think now and for the rest of her life, whether she gets married or not, sheâs going to come and sheâs going to be like, âMom, this is how I feelâ because Iâm really honest and straightforward. But sheâs different from me in a lot of ways. Sheâs very, very quiet and very reserved.â
On being a reality TV star:
âWhen it first aired, I remember first thinking, âI hate my voice.â I was like, âDo I really sound like that? I sound very New York!â But I guess I am. If you give them footage to air, theyâre going to use it. You always hear people saying, âOh well, they edited it in a certain way.â No. The things that Iâve said, Iâve said. The things that Iâve done, Iâve done. And Iâm not always proud of it, but I did it.â
On her relationship with Chad âOchocincoâ Johnson:
âWhen times were good, times were great. We would laugh a lot. It was just one of those things⊠There was nothing in the middle â when it was great, it was great; but when it was bad, it was real bad. There was no in between.

On the head-butting incident and domestic abuse:
âWe had issues. Nothing like that though. Obviously nothing like that. But I will say this: whatâs sad is that if that day, if I didnât have physical wounds, I probably wouldâve walked right into that house [after arguing] because I wouldnât have wanted anyone to know. I wouldâve been embarrassed. I wouldnât have wanted my family to know. I think that happens a lot with women and even men because Iâve had a lot of men, especially gay men, tell me that theyâve been in abusive relationships. Youâre embarrassed and ashamed.â
On plans to start a foundation for victims of domestic violence:
âBeing an advocate for domestic violence, you donât choose that. I got chosen via the circumstances that happened. But I cannot imagine me being in that situation and not being able to do anything, just being stuck. So thatâs how the foundation came about. To help women get out.â
On being in the public eye forever:
âI really donât [see myself doing this forever]. I see myself working behind the scenes â whether itâs working on my books or doing stuff on TV shows. I really want to have a family. And if that presented itself to me, I would probably just enjoy the moment because I feel like, with my daughter, it went by so fast! I really didnât have the chance to just enjoy that moment of having a family. I have a desire for that.
