OG's behaviour was in line with the other ladies' behaviour, who were known to throw tables and be physically unpredictable.
The tension between OG and Kristen was further fuelled by their mutual acquaintance, Cece. OG and Cece were best friends, and Cece filled OG in on her drama with Kristen. OG felt that Kristen was fake and called her out for borrowing clothes and shoes. OG also revealed details about Kristen and Thomas that they wanted to keep private.

OG accuses cast of colourism
Kristen Scott joined the cast of Basketball Wives in season 7, along with her family members: father-in-law Byron Scott and his then-fiancée Cece Guiterrez. Scott's time on the series was marked by familial drama, including a feud with Guiterrez, which began when Scott accused Guiterrez of not being a good buffer between her and Byron. Scott's relationship with her cousin, cast member Malaysia Pargo, and other cast members like Tami Roman, Evelyn Lozada, Shaunie O'Neal, and Jennifer Williams, was also a source of conflict.
In Season 8, Ogom "OG" Chijindu and Guiterrez dropped a bombshell concerning Scott's family, revealing that Scott's husband was not his father's biological son. OG exposed this to the group, causing Scott to become extremely emotional. This incident led to a major blow-up between Scott and Guiterrez, with Scott expressing disappointment in their strained relationship and attempting to expose Guiterrez with past texts.
OG, who was isolated during the Season 8 reunion due to fears that she would physically attack her co-stars, accused the cast of colorism. She alleged that because of her darker skin tone, she was labelled aggressive and frightening, despite never physically fighting anyone on the show. OG's accusations of colorism continued into Season 9, with sources claiming that she kept shifting her story and exposing her hypocrisy during an exchange with Scott, in which Scott pointed out that they shared a similar skin tone.
Scott attempted to find common ground with OG by listening to her experiences and addressing their shared skin tone. However, OG allegedly disparaged Scott's blackness, telling her that because of her Eurocentric features, colorism didn't apply to her. This exchange led to multiple cast members walking off the set, expressing discomfort with interacting with OG and concern about her past behaviour. Shaunie O'Neal, while empathising with OG, disagreed with her accusations of colorism, stating that she couldn't speak for something she didn't experience and that it was OG's experience to share. O'Neal expressed optimism for a more positive Season 9, hoping to move past the brutal verbal spats and physical altercations of previous seasons.
