If Chad Ochocinco fiancee Evelyn Lozada is going to get anymore face time on TV it apparently will have to be while she sits in the stands and cheers at Patriots games.
TMZ reports she's giving up her gig on VH1's Basketball Wives.
She has been a scene-stealer there for three seasons, but her departure seems logical, given that she's not actually a basketball wife. (But then again, what's really real about reality TV?)
TMZ, however, says Lozada is blaming her exit on a since-deleted VH1 blog post that said she was running around on Ochocinco with ex-Bengals teammate Terrell Owens.
Lozada tweeted that: "Just wanted to say that I won't be on Twitter for a while. Going 2 possibly delete my account & I won't be signing on 2 do anymore shows."
She and Ochocinco are reportedly planning a wedding for next summer. Now she'll have more time to hang out in Foxborough. We're sure Bill Belichick will be delighted.
