Deshawn Snow Kicked Off Housewives of Atlanta for Being 'Too Human'

Thursday, January 15, 2009


It has been confirmed that Deshawn Snow of the Housewives of Atlanta will not be returning to the hit show for the second season.

In a recent interview with Essence magazine, Deshawn dished the details of her split from the show:

"[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.

I didn't see it coming. I was shocked because I just talked to them in December about the new season. It's not like they came to me and gave me an option by saying, "We're going to take a new direction and we want to know if you could be more like this." I was a little hurt, but I just look at it like I am what I am. [My personality] didn't seem to be a problem before, but I suppose the show took a different direction and they no longer see me as the right fit. If you look at all the other housewives, they are all different. I believe God moves people out of your way. It's about God having his hand upon you and doing things for you. I'm not judging my situation. I look at the show as just a shutter-glimpse of what God has in store for me. I enjoyed being on the show and hanging with the girls. At the end of the day, I was the same person throughout the show. I never changed. I was authentic and true to myself and I can't control what other people do."

I have to say that I think it is really tacky of Bravo to pull Deshawn of the show because she doesn't act crazy and ghetto enough. I think she actually gave the show some balance, it was refreshing to see one of the ladies have a little class and I did feel like she was really being herself on the show.

But Deshawn is still keeping busy, she is now going to be a monthly guest columnist for "The Streaming Faith Network", and she will be a celebrity guest host at Obama's Inauguration at the "Celebrating The Arrival of Change" event held at the US Chamber of Commerce.

Rumors are circulating around the blogophere that Usher's wife Tameka Foster will join the cast of Housewives of Atlanta. I'm not sure if this will happen, but I think it would be a smart move for Tameka. If she joins the cast, I have a feeling that viewers might actually discover that Tameka Foster really isn't that bad like most people have made her out to be. I actually heard she's really cool. Hell, to be frank with you, I heard she's not half the diva that Usher is. I'm just saying.

I wish they hadn't kicked Deshawn of the show. Bravo said they wanted more drama, well now they are going to have it because the rest of the cast is ignorant and ghetto. Just another embarassment to black women.
