If you’ve seen the trailer for the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 8 which starts on Sunday, then you saw a scene where an unidentified woman is lying on the ground in a fetal position in pain and/or crying. The scene was left as a cliffhanger and many fans were wondering, which housewife it was and what exactly happened.
Well according to TMZ sports, it is season 8 recruit, Tammy McCall Browning (pictured above: far right) and the reason she is on the floor was due to a domestic dispute with former Washington Wizards player Glen Rice Jr. who was taping with the ladies. The outlet reports:
There was real life drama during a recent ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ shoot — with a troubled ex-NBA player allegedly knocking one of the women to the ground … multiple sources tell TMZ Sports.
It all went down at a home in Miami back in September, where ex-Washington Wizards player Glen Rice Jr. was involved in a scene with Tammy McCall Browning.
FYI — Glen is the same guy who was recently arrested in ATL after being shot in a dispute at a restaurant owned by T.I.
Our sources tell us … producers brought Browning in to test her for a full-time gig on the show … and she brought Rice Jr. because she thought it would help her chances. But things took a turn for the worse when they began drinking — with the ladies complaining to producers that Glen was getting aggressive and making the women uncomfortable.
We’re told Tammy went to ask Glen to leave — and as one source says, “He lost it.” Our sources say Glen went to confront one of the housewives — and Tammy tried to get in the way to stop him — but he wouldn’t stop and knocked her to the ground. Tammy smacked her head pretty hard and began to cry.
We’re told the whole thing was captured on video … in fact, footage of Tammy reeling in pain was used in the promo for the new season.
Tammy was eventually taken to the hospital for evaluation — where doctors determined she was fine, no concussion. But later, Tammy and Glen returned to the home — where the housewives made it clear Glen wasn’t welcome. An argument ensued and cops were called to the scene.
Things eventually calmed down — no one was arrested — and Glen left without further incident. But our sources say Glen was told he was NOT welcome back and Tammy did not get a featured role on the show.
We reached out to Rice for comment — so far, no word back.
