Baseball Wives’ Anna Benson: ‘We’re Classier Than Basketball Wives’


The new VH1 series Baseball Wives doesn’t premiere for two weeks, but one of the show’s stars, Anna Benson, is already stirring up some controversy!

Anna, the outspoken wife of former Mets player Kris Benson, doesn’t hold back in a new interview as she disses the cast of Basketball Wives by stating she and her costars are much, much classier than them. Shots fired!

In a new interview with the NY Post, Anna, a former stripper, declares: “We are not like the ‘Basketball Wives,’ ”adding, “We are classy.” Wowzers.

Even better, Anna, 35, goes on to describe the clASSy manner in which she met her husband. According to Anna, she met Kris in 1998 while dancing at Atlanta club Mardi Gras.

When it comes to her classy costars, Anna explains there will definitely be some fireworks as she admits she is already feuding with one of them. “It definitely will come out, which one I like the least,” she teases. “We can just name her ‘skank.’ Actually, ‘skank possum!’ ”

Anna then goes on to describe her life before meeting her millionaire husband. “When I came to Kris, I had nothing — two pairs of panties and one bra,” said the mother of four. “Suddenly, I found I was married to a millionaire.”

After briefly filing for divorce in 2006, Anna now reveals her marriage is stronger than ever. “I am so in love with Kris. He is such a stud in bed and everywhere else,” she says.

The very outspoken Anna is mostly known for the comments she made on the Howard Stern Show back in 2004 when she threatened to sleep with her husband’s entire team if she ever caught him cheating. Anna also graced the cover of FHM magazine in 2004 when she was named “baseball’s hottest wife.”

Baseball Wives is set to premiere November 30 on VH1 (9/8c).

Below are some older photos of the clASSy Anna including one with her husband Kris!

  1. well let’s face it, they just couldn’t be any worse than the basketball wife/ho’s. I’m optimistic.

  2. Who the hell aint classier than basketball wives?

  3. Well we all know the best way to demonstrate class is to tell everyone how classy you are while also demonstrating said class on a VH1 reality show.

    I hope the First Lady and Queen Elizabeth are taking notes.

    Ain’t that the pot calling the kettle skank??

  5. Yet you are still apart of that Wives franchise, so…..

  6. First of all, you are a stripper! So stripper and classy does NOT belong in the same sentence!!!! And why would you tell anyone you only had two pairs of panties and one bra when you met your husband, you must’ve been a low class stripper not making any money!! I think you guys will be just as trashy as the basketball wives!!!!

  7. She claims classy then proceeds to call someone a skank. I don’t believe classy people know that word exists. Classy people don’t do reality shows and certainly never would strip.

  8. Yes, she’s class alright… like a prostitute. Another ballplayer who married based on his penis, and not his head. Shocking. And NO, he’s never cheat on his wife on the road. Because THAT never happens in sports.

  9. Can someone please define the word classy for me? I think I’ve forgotten the true definition since all of the Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, Baseball Wives, etc seem to believe their classy.

  10. I love Anna been following her for years she is a trip and a half. They did a special on baseball wives a few years back and since I didn’t follow baseball to much after watching her I had to this chick is crazy to the fullest. LOL …..now what franchise are they going to hit next HOCKEY WIVES lets do basketball husbands guys married to women in the WNBA that should be about 7 cause most of them swim in the lay pot hey we can do their girlfriends also lets just go there why don’t we.

  11. How about Curling Wives, or Mens figure skating wives…..

    “Classy” is that the first word these former strippers, dancers, baby momas and BJ experts learn?? What was Anderson Cooper’s quote – If you use the word class outside the classroom then you don’t have it (or something like that). Am sure that one of you remembers exactly – I loved it!! Also is the same as being “very very rich”.

    Strippers are classy now? I’ll pass.

    She’s wearing nasty Kyle Richards dress!!

  15. Yes, because threatening to sleep with your husband’s ENTIRE TEAM if he cheats on you is totally classy. Ok. *eyeroll*

  16. Is talking about Princess Diana classy (may she rest in peace)?

  17. Oh hooka pleeze. I worked for a very successful Major League Baseball Team in Scouting Front Office and I saw just how “classy” the baseball wives are…popping pills because their hubbies are cheating with the team babysitters or girls who work in tickets. They were the tackiest slutties clothes with fryed hair and frosted lipstick thinking that is “hotstuff” with HUGE fake tits on a stick. Then they call all night long looking for the hound dog. The only reason why they do not or will not “throw hands” on the groupies is becaue they don’t want to ruin their fakeass acrylic nails or lose that cheatin dog before he hits 3000, or retire with that that nice pension and endorsements. Please. The only classy wife I have seen thus far of an athelete was Pillar (Deon Sanders wife) and even Juanita (of the former cheating Michael Jordan) never said a bad word about him. She just took the money and ran with it. Even The Babe’s wife was a major bitch…so I hear. Please…remember Marilyn Monroe (God Rest her soul) was a baseball wife…yeah very classy (Joe DiMaggio).

  18. STILL VH1 SKANKS! Classy or Not!

  19. @17 – I worked for a major league baseball team a few years ago (promotions). We were given “rosters” for the names and faces of important people we needed to know. Funny enough the wives/girlfriends were NEVER on the lists, but were always sure to make sure we knew exactly who they were.

    I remember one time we had to b-line it to one of the suites for a baby shower (during a game). She had a few of us on short order if she demanded anything.

    It was big hair, lots of makeup, big boobs, WAAYYY too much perfume, and too high shoes for too little clothing. It was sad new money all the way.

    The number of players who’s wives were class acts I can count on one hand.

  20. There are all ex wives. WTF?

  21. She needs to hire a stylist because she looks fat in that outfit.

  22. @ 11 I hope you are kidding. Try to find a straight man first!

  23. Yeah, real classy comments there, Mrs. Benson. Pot, meet kettle. Irony is obviously lost on this ‘classy’ lady.

  24. Anna might not look that good in that outfit, but I am sure she looks pretty good with it off.

  25. Oh, yeah, she is “classy” alright!

    Truth is stranger than fiction.

    How classy will that be? We shall see.

  32. I’d sure rather look at Anna Benson than Shaq’s hoodrat ex-wife.

  33. When these sad tricks use the word Class to them it’s spelled “Klasz”

    Okay , so this woman in 2004 was voted hottest Baseball wife ? Wow, how worse does it get? Her man looks good , surely he could have did better than a stripper with two panties. But men love trash, so why am I even questioning this?

    What u say

  38. @35 What u say, dipstick like this bimb think if they wear an expensive designer dress and shoes and drive some expensive car, they are full of KLASZ!!!!

  39. Do these men ever marry women with careers and most importantly a brain!?

  40. When her husband was on the team, I remember how much trouble they got in b/c she showed up to the team’s annual Christmas party, which they invite underprivileged children to, in a slutty Santa outfit with her fake titties and ass hanging out. Yep, class all the way.

    Oh_Yes_Boo

    She can’t be serious! The show looks like it will be cancelled by episode 5 anyawy. Boring DOWNE>>>>>>>NEXT!!!

  42. You can’t threaten to sleep with an entire team, honey. They’d have to take you up on that offer first and I’m gonna say they’d all say NO.

  43. Ahhh The wonders of photoshop! She looks terrible now, what happened to her!
