'Basketball Wives LA' season 4: Shaunie defends Meghan in episode 4

In last week's episode of "Basketball Wives LA", Shaunie O'Neal made her crossover to the show, and this week, the L.A. wives were joined by Evelyn Lozada and Tami Roman. Shaunie immediately earned the admiration of Meghan James when she jumped to her defense during Jackie Christie's commercial viewing. 

The episode began where it left off the previous week, with Meghan screaming at Draya Michele for the unflattering comment about Jackie's body after watching her new cognac commercial. Draya informed her that she just didn't want Jackie to look bad in the video. When Meghan tried to bring Jackie into the argument, the newbie said that she's the star of the cognac commercial and no matter what anyone says, she doesn't need to get into any fight.

Shaunie arrived and found out why everyone had been teaming up against Meghan, and later Jackie took offense when Meghan left the party without saying goodbye. 

During the show's airing, Meghan took to Twitter and wrote, "Shaunie is the real MVP." She added that while the ladies teamed up on her, "it's all good. A boss had my back."

One woman who did not have Meghan's back was Jackie, and the next day, Meghan called her out on it while they were shopping for Jackie's charity event. Meghan said that she didn't stand by her because she was too drunk last night, and Jackie protested, saying she has never been drunk in her life. Jackie said that she's not trying to start any drama and that she wants to be friends with everybody.

In her confessional, Meghan said that she would stay friends with Jackie — for now. And it appears that she has made up her mind to be friends with Jackie as she defended her on Twitter on Sunday.

"Y'all how can you not like Jackie she funny," Meghan wrote. 

"Basketball Wives LA" airs on Sundays at 9/8c on VH1.
