ESSENCE magazine confirms rumors that the only classy housewife on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” was kicked off the show because she wasn’t ghetto enough.
DeShawn Snow told Essence.com:
[One of the producers] called and said that I was “too human for a circus show” and that because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn’t think that I would fit in. He gave me an example, saying that during the reunion when I found out what a few of the other ladies said about me, they were expecting me to say more, but I’m not the type to go “television” and start acting crazy because somebody’s talking about me. I’m fine with the decision. It wasn’t my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings. I am thankful for the opportunity.
Now that’s real class! I knew there was something fishy about Lisa Wu’s erratic behavior on the Season Finale. Obviously she was forewarned that cuts were coming.
Much respect to DeShawn for maintaining her dignity and for being a role model for our daughters to look up to! DeShawn tried to bring some class and decorum to the show.
But when it comes to women of color, the TV networks don’t want class they want trash!
I hear that Frank Ski’s wife Tanya Ski was cast for the show’s 2nd season, but let’s hope that’s just a rumor. Tanya is much too classy for that show.
