She followed up her modeling career as a beauty queen, and at the age of 24 years Bell was crowned Miss Michigan USA 2001.[3] Bell went on to compete for the title of Miss USA 2001 and ultimately finished the national beauty competition as a semi-finalist. As the wife of a professional basketball player, Bell focused on charity initiatives and was featured on E! True Hollywood Story: Basketball Wives.[4] Following her appearance on the television special, she was then approached by the production company, Shed Media US, to appear as a series regular[5] on the reality show, Basketball Wives on VH1. Bell made her debut as a series regular on the fourth season premiere of Basketball Wives on February 20, 2012 to an audience of 3.7 million viewers[6]{{unreliable source?|date=November 2012}}. On April 2, 2012, Evelyn Lozada confronted Bell about some comments she had made about her during an earlier conversation, in particular trying to make Bell say the word "loose," as it refers to her. The altercation continued to escalate to the point where Lozada tried to physically assault Bell, and threw a champagne bottle at her. As Bell seemed unnerved by the tirade, producers stepped in to hold Lozada, to which she uttered: ""Why y'all stop me all the fucking time?"[7] and Tami Roman separated Bell from the situation by taking Bell out of the room.[8] Bell released a song "Hate Me" which "seems to be directed at her reality show cast mates".[9] Lozada had said that she was embarrassed by the way that she behaved, breaking down about the incident while talking to Iyanla Vanzant on her own assault on the OWN network show Iyanla, Fix My Life,[10] saying that when her step daughters were emulating the incident in the car, she realized that she was setting a horrible example for them as well as other girls, reflecting on her violent tendencies on the show, and VanZant's previous comment of Lozada "being rewarded for being Out Of Order and being a THUG among women."[11][12][13] Bell signed a distribution deal with Bungalo Records in November 2012 for her C3K Records label and released her song "Hate Me" on December 11, 2012.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Black|first=Elizabeth|title=Kenya Bell's Single "Fly" Is Out On iTunes Today|url=http://blog.vh1.com/2012-04-02/kenya-bells-single-fly-is-out-on-itunes-today/}} {{Miss USA 2001 delegates}}{{Michigan Pageant Winners}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bell, Kenya}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Basketball Wives - Season 4 - Cast - Kenya Bell|url=http://www.vh1.com/shows/basketball_wives/season_4/cast_member.jhtml?personalityId=15277#moreinfo}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Miss Michigan USA Past Title Holders |url=http://www.missmichiganusa.com/michigan_titleholders.html |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303151003/http://www.missmichiganusa.com/michigan_titleholders.html |archivedate=March 3, 2012 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|title=E!
