Even with the reported clause in the contract, they are still bound by state law, in this case I guess, Florida since it was filmed in Miami Beach. State law trumps a contract esp. when it comes to criminal code. If criminal code is broken, doesn’t matter what they signed. If that were the case, a person could literally get away with murder if they wanted to since, they “signed” something. Doesn’t work that way.

Reportedly there is a contract that the “Wives” cast members must sign that specifically states …. “Participant expressly assumes the risk of any physical or emotional injuries participant may suffer as a result of participant’s participation in the project.”” While most employers are trying to encourage bully-free workplaces, VH1 is encouraging the behavior and demanding that the participants of its show deal with the consequences of having bottles thrown at them or being assaulted with purses and slaps in the face.
As one author stated recently, “If there is no violence on “Basketball Wives”, there is no show. Let’s see if we can make that happen.
