Tami Roman on 1993's "Real World: Los Angeles," and now, on VH1's "Basketball Wives."

When "Real World" was still in its infancy and only had a single season under its belt, Tami Roman stepped into the picture and demanded that people take notice. At 22, Roman was one of the most outspoken of the Los Angeles cast, but struggled with body image issues that amounted to getting her jaw wired shut to lose weight. She was a caregiver to people with HIV and AIDS, opened up abortion dialogue in mainstream media and was even a member of a music group called Reality--but to many viewers, she was the woman who got bedding ripped off her while in her underwear and demanded that housemate David, the sheet-snatcher, be kicked out of the house in the first instance of eviction on "Real World."

Since her time on the show, Roman has tried her hand at acting and maintains a career in finance. Oh, and she's the chick on VH1's "Basketball Wives" that loves to throw drinks in other people's faces. The New York native married basketball star Kenny Anderson a year after "Real World" aired, and though the two eventually split, it gave Roman the platform to re-enter reality TV and give viewers the sass they'd been missing for 17 years. When her vodka's not flying out of its martini glass, Roman's also a canvasser of "Project Girl," a charity that promotes building confidence in girls.
