Basketball Wives Star Sued Over Hair Extensions

03/26/2012
. (TMZ) "Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman signed an endorsement deal with a line of hair extensions in which she promised to feature the product on her show -- but a new lawsuit claims she not only didn't deliver on that promise ... but she featured her own hair line on the show instead!

According to a lawsuit filed earlier this month in Texas, Roman agreed to become a spokesperson for Cr�me De La Cr�me Hair. In the lawsuit, Cr�me says part of the deal called for Roman to "have an appearance on VH1's 'Basketball Wives' where she will discuss her hair line with the [Cr�me's] owners."

But according to Cr�me, Tami bailed on every attempt they made to coordinate their appearance on the show.

The final straw for Cr�me came last month when Roman was supposed to promote Cr�me at a hair show in Atlanta. They claim Roman showed up as planned with a "BB Wives" film crew ... but was there promoting her OWN line of hair in competition with Cr�me. They also claim Tami's manager instructed the crew not to film anything Cr�me.

Cr�me is suing for damages in excess of $75,000 and they want the footage shot for "BB Wives" pulled from the show unless it's edited to feature them. more on this story
