But on social media, Lozada is already launching an offensive even before the reunion show. She recently posted a message to explain her feud with Christie.
Lozada said that she didn't plan on the drama between her and her archenemy. She was, however, concerned for Christie's daughter, Ta'Kari Lee.
"As a mom, unconditional love is all I know — and it is all I will ever give to my children," Lozada said in her post. "It was never my intent to return to 'Basketball Wives' to meddle or interfere in any cast member's life."
Christie's beef with Lozada was rooted in money. The latter donated to Lee's GoFundMe campaign as her son needed treatment for burn injuries. It was revealed in the show that Lozada covered the full expenses which Christie resented.
Lee also belied her mom's claims in the final episode of "Basketball Wives" season 6 that they are on good terms. On Instagram, Lee stated that she doesn't get any support from Christie whether "financially, emotionally or mentally."
"The first time I heard from my mother, at all besides TMZ was on Dec. 10, 2016. Due to the pressure from the internet," Lee revealed.
The "Basketball Wives" season 6 reunion episode will air on Monday, Aug. 14, at 9 p.m. EDT on VH1.
