VH1 has scrapped its upcoming reality series Ev And Ocho. The show, starring newlyweds Evelyn Lozada and NFL player Chad Johnson (formerly known as Ochocinco), was slated to premiere on Sept. 3. “Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series Ev and Ocho from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it,” the network said in a statement. The decision follows Johnson’s arrest and subsequent charging with domestic battery for allegedly hitting/headbutting Lozada that also led to his firing from the Miami Dolphins. A spinoff from Basketball Wives, Ev And Ocho was to chronicle the couple’s romance.

Bright, shiny, silver lining.
Ocho got 86′d!
VH-1 had no choice.
Johnson/Ochocinco/Eightyfive/Whatever His Name Is This Week will get plenty of airtime on “TMZ On TV” in the weeks and months to come.
Ochocinco is a complete moron. If the guy watched a single episode of Basketball Wives he’d know this girl was trouble.
I’d bet my bank account the allegations are false, but if you’re dumb enough to marry such a gold digging __ then you deserve dealing with this stuff.
Unbeleivable. Not sure who’s a bigger mess, Ochocinco or TO. Goes to show you that only complete morons get reality shows.
A costly headbutt – now no jobs. But I’m sure they have both invested their money wisely (as marriage & domestic violence) and don’t have to worry about work.
He was the best part of Hard Knocks. Sucks to see him go, then again – he dug his own grave.
“Oh, no!” said no one. Yeah, who gives a crap about this series anyway?
