  • Felisha Kisses Tyson While Alyson’s Away on ‘Kings Court’

    Get ready for more drama and romance on Bravo’s new dating series, “Kings Court.” In an exclusive sneak peek from Sunday’s upcoming episode, titled “Bumpy Ride,” one of the contestants, Felisha, shares a smooch with supermodel Tyson Beckford while his other potential match, Alyson, is momentarily out of the picture.

    A Scavenger Hunt Sparks Drama

    The episode features the Kings continuing their quest for love through adventurous dates. Tyson is on a scavenger hunt with both Felisha and Alyson. While bonding over pets, Alyson expresses doubt about Felisha’s connection with Tyson, noting they didn’t seem to know much about each other’s pets. “I’m not sure how well Tyson and Felicia actually know each other,” Alyson confides.

    Later, when Alyson steps away from the car, Felisha seizes the opportunity, asking Tyson for a kiss. He obliges, and the two share a brief moment. However, the interaction is quickly interrupted when Felisha returns, adding an element of awkwardness to the budding connection.

    Navigating Competitive Connections

    The scavenger hunt also creates tension for Carlos Boozer, who is on a date with two potentials, Janaye and Jennifer. Although Janaye claims to be unbothered by sharing Carlos, her facial expression suggests otherwise. “I’m more like, why? Why does she have to be on the date?” she questions in a confessional. Jennifer, on the other hand, believes Janaye’s true colors will soon be revealed, stating, “It’s going to become very obvious to the outside world how I’m being treated by this block of a force between Carlos and I.”

    Janaye later observes Jennifer trying to win Carlos over, but remains unfazed, declaring, “Two can play that game.” The episode promises a rollercoaster of emotions, dramatic confrontations, and tough eliminations as the Kings try to find their queen among the 21 hopefuls.

  • Carlos Boozer on ‘King’s Court’: Love, Lists & Brotherhood

    From the basketball court to the reality TV spotlight, two-time NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer is embarking on a new journey to find love on Bravo’s ‘King’s Court.’ He’s opening up to BOSSIP about the experience, sharing his thoughts on vulnerability, his connection with contestant Janaye, and the unique brotherhood he’s formed with co-stars Tyson Beckford and Thaddeus ‘Titus O’Neil’ Bullard.

    Trading the Hardwood for Vulnerability

    Boozer admits that putting his love life on display for the world was a significant adjustment. “I think, honestly, that was the part I had the toughest part with,” he told BOSSIP. “You’re getting to know somebody or getting to know people on camera and you gotta be vulnerable and let your guard down.” After two previous marriages and divorces, Boozer was determined to approach this experience differently, aiming to be vulnerable earlier than he normally would, which he found to be incredibly rewarding.

    Early on, Boozer found himself drawn to Janaye, a 32-year-old content creator from Tampa. Their instant chemistry has captivated viewers, and Boozer shared that he was immediately struck by her, particularly her “hot pink dress.” He was impressed not only by her physical beauty but also by her depth, noting, “she just she’s deeper than just her physicality, obviously she’s she’s well-rounded.”

    Navigating Love Triangles and Brotherhood

    The show recently introduced Jennifer, a 37-year-old architect from Miami, who was dubbed a “perfect match” for Boozer. While Jennifer also caught the attention of Tyson Beckford, Boozer felt a connection due to shared ties to Seattle, where his ex-wife lives. This situation created some tension, particularly with Janaye, but Boozer felt compelled to “explore a little bit.”

    The dynamics on ‘King’s Court’ have been further complicated by Tyson Beckford’s infamous dating list, where contestants scheduled appointments for dates with him. Boozer, who has been friends with Beckford for 15 years, offered some perspective, explaining that Tyson is accustomed to women pursuing him, and the women on the show are used to men chasing them, creating a different dynamic. He acknowledged the ladies’ hesitation with the list, noting, “They’re used to having men chase them, right? This is a different dynamic.”

    A Bond Beyond the Competition

    Beyond the competition, Boozer expressed immense love and respect for his fellow kings, Beckford and WWE legend Thaddeus ‘Titus O’Neil’ Bullard. He shared that the show strengthened his friendship with Tyson and allowed him to get to know Bullard, whom he calls an “inspiration.” The three men have formed a genuine bond, holding each other accountable as fathers, friends, and Black men. “We kind of hold each other accountable on that tip and just check in a week,” Boozer said. “Me and Tyson got even closer because of this show. And so for me, it was an honor to do this project and film this show with two other awesome, awesome men.”
