Evelyn Lozada Lauded by Oprah Winfrey and Iyanla Vanzant for 'Willingness to Heal'
Evelyn Lozada is being lauded by media maven Oprah Winfrey and motivational speaker Iyanlya Vanzant for appearing on OWN network's new show "Iyanla:Fix My Life," where she discusses her own shortcomings and overcoming a recent domestic dispute with estranged husband Chad Johnson.
Johnson, 34-year-old free agent NFL player, allegedly headbutt Lozada on Aug 11 after a dispute about his infidelities came about when she found his receipts for contraceptives. Although the dispute resulted in Johnson losing his position on the Miami Dolphins roster, he also lost endorsements along with a joint reality television show with Lozada.
However, Lozada received some backlash from the dispute after fans witnessed her own violent behavior on the "Basketball Wives" reality show that she stars in. On "Iyanla: Fix My Life," Vanzant will reportedly work with Lozada to overcome some of her inner pain.
