Reality TV is always serving up the drama, and NowThatsTv’s latest hit, Bad Btches Only (BBO), is no exception. The show’s stars recently sat down with Superstar Jay on VIP Saturdays to break down the fights, friendships, and the real deal behind the scenes.
Big Lex, Nicole Zala, Zen, and executive producer D pulled back the curtain on their rise in reality TV, the industry feuds that keep them trending, and what it takes to survive in the cutthroat world of unscripted entertainment.
For these women, reality TV isn’t just about entertainment—it’s a stepping stone. Big Lex, a rapper from Columbia, South Carolina, sees herself as a trailblazer for plus-sized women in the industry. Nicole, who previously spent three seasons on Cartel Crew (VH1), used the platform to elevate her brand. Meanwhile, D, a TV host and producer, always knew reality TV was her lane, growing up obsessed with Bad Girls Club and The Real World.
Of course, no reality show is complete without its fair share of controversy. Nicole found herself at the center of a headline-making altercation, which she insists was a clout-chasing attempt by someone looking to use her name for buzz. Having spent over $200,000 on plastic surgery, she admits she’s not one for physical fights—earning her a “don’t touch me” reputation. Big Lex had her back, calling out those who start drama just to go viral.
When it comes to advice for young women stepping into reality TV—or just life in general—the cast had a few words of wisdom. “Be yourself,” they emphasized. Big Lex added, “Stand on business and stand your ground.” While silence can be powerful in some situations, she warned that in reality TV, it’s not always the best move.
Top Reality TV Icons: Who Inspired Them?
When asked about their top three reality TV legends, the cast gave credit to some of the biggest names in the game.
- Tiffany “New York” Pollard
- Natalie Nunn
- Cardi B
- Nikki Baby
- Tommie (Love & Hip Hop)
- And, of course, their own BBO castmates
When it comes to relationships, these women know their worth—and their standards. Financial stability is a must. Nicole, who is Colombian, revealed she exclusively dates Black men, while Zen, who has been in a seven-year relationship, admitted she’s been “put up” (financially supported) by her partner.
VIP Party Rules: What Not to Do in Their Section
To wrap things up, they laid out some strict guidelines for VIP etiquette:
🚫 No knocking over hookahs
🚫 No sloppy drunks
🚫 No groupies taking pics all night
