Deshawn Snow

After Pink-slipped Deshawn got the timberland boot yesterday, she decided to let everyone know exactly how it really went down:

Some say that DeShawn Snow was the quiet in the storm of drama that rained on Bravo’s dramality series “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” In reality television, playing it safe doesn’t lure viewers or make the grade; when it comes to ratings, only diva antics, tension and catfights will do. As the remaining ladies—Lisa Wu Hartwell, NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield and Kim Kolciak—gear up for the second installment, Snow learned on Monday that she would not be returning to the cast. Snow spoke candidly with ESSENCE.com about the call that hurt her, why Bravo won’t be able to replace her, and how she plans to keep it moving.

ESSENCE.COM: We hear that you are no longer returning to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Is that true?
DESHAWN SHOW: Yes, one of the producers called me yesterday and said that they wouldn’t take my option.

ESSENCE.COM: What reason did they give for not inviting you back for the second season?
SNOW: [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.

ESSENCE.COM: So were you at all shocked by the decision?
SNOW: 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.

ESSENCE.COM: There are rumors that Tameka Foster might replace you. Is that true?
SNOW: Yes, I heard that, but I don’t know. I wouldn’t say that they are replacing me because they didn’t think I was real enough or too real enough for the show, so I doubt they are going to bring in someone who has a similar personality as mine.

ESSENCE.COM: What can we expect from you in the near future?
SNOW: I’m still in school. I have a lot of opportunities and I’m thankful for all the fans. I’m writing a pre-teens and teenagers book series, which is faith-based and inspired by my life. I also have the college fair coming up again in March for the foundation and our second annual fundraising dinner in May; and of course, our annual summer camp. In terms of speaking engagements, I have a few lined up during the inauguration and I’ll be receiving the AGAPE award along with Juanita Bynum.

ESSENCE.COM: We love that you are keeping it moving. Any parting words to your fans?
SNOW: I’m thankful for my fans that’ve sent me a lot of e-mails saying that I inspire and encourage them. I’m also a monthly columnist for Streamingthefaith.com. Again, I just want to stress that there are no hard feelings about me not returning to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Please join my Web site and know that you haven’t seen the last of me. I wish the girls much success. Our show had the highest ratings, and I can always say I was a part of its success.

I guess she could consider her dismissal somewhat of a compliment. Better to be called “too human” than a “certified crazy b*tch,” right? And, “circus” took the words right out of our mouths. A weave-totin’, cat fightin’, million dollar divorcin’, no bra wearin’ circus.

    Good for Deshawn. Now she can sit back and laugh at the rest of the Broke Baby Mama’s of Atl with the rest of us.

  • http://www.myspace.com/ocky_j Octavia

    CORRECTION: she was classy, church-going, nice, black, and had REAL PAPER (and the white housekeepers didn’t help)

    therefore….

    she scared people.

  • http://www.myspace.com/ocky_j Octavia

    … and then people want to act like the media doesn’t go outta its way to portray black people in a negative light.

  • Chanel

    She was absolutly boring. I luv her, BUT she didn’t even spend money or buy 900 dollar shoes and she came off as a NUT. DeShawn been rich for over a decade, she has been to hundreds of parties and fundraiser and her backwards behind didn’t know to charge tickets to her event at her house. DeShawn speak came off as “slow” her big fake teeth hinder her from speaking correctly. She has a college degree and says ax instead of ask.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re is excited to see GAMBIT in May. FINALLY!

    What’d I say yesterday? “She was too normal for the show.”

    Oh well, God moved people that weren’t GOOD FOR YOU out of your way Deshawn…that’s always a good thing.

  • Moreaces

    Good for her, Im sure with her positive outlook, she will do just fine

  • Tealeaf

    She should be happy to be away from this Ghetto, trashy group of women

  • http://Bossip Class Act

    Didn’t watch the show but her photo caught my attn. Pretty girl and after reading the article, seems to have alot of class…wish you the best, DeShawn and God bless.

  • aishab

    She was and is a lady. Unfortunately for TV ratings, calm and gentle women don’t bring in viewers. I’ll still watch the show for entertainment, but DeShawn should take it as a compliment that she didn’t have enough drama in her life for that show. I wish her continued success.

  • chloe

    Viewers want to see drama and cat fights. It is good to hold on to your dignity.

    Why embarrass your husband and children engaging in negative, catty behavior for ratings.

    you have enough money girl. when one door closes another one opens.

  • hmpf

    I hated the way she pronounced jewlery.

  • ButterFLY

    She should wear that pink-slip as a BADGE of HONOR. Good girl ;o)

  • OBAMA—-My President has more SWAGGER Than Yours !!!!

    GOOD FOR HER .. She was Wayyyy too classy for that madness that was going down in the ATL. Good Luck and God Bless! She has a Future and We cant say that for the rest of the girls!

    BRING ON THE DRAMA ATL HOUSEWIVES NEXT SEASON I CANT WAIT

  • katie

    She was my favorite because I could relate to her personality more than the others. I’m gonna miss her sweet and down to earth self.

  • told you so

    She handled it well. good for her, she should do her own thing. PLUS she’s in school continuing her education, unlike some of the crazy assed ladies (and i use the term ‘ladies’ very loosely)

  • MS k

SHE ACTED CLUELESS IN THE KITCHEN.(TURN OFF)SHE LET THE CAMERA SHOW HER GIVING THE CHURCH $15,000.(TURN OFF)SHE BRAGGED ABOUT HOW HER STYLIST & OTHER GROOMERS CAME TO HER SO SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO GO OUT.(TURN OFF)I MEAN IF SHE STEPPED INTO A SALON I WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN WHO SHE WAS WITH THEM BIG WHITE CHICKLETS TEETH.PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO RELATE TO YOU TO UNDERSTAND YOU.SO IF NENE, KIM, LISA AND TRANNY SHEREE IS WHAT THE AUDIENCE LIKE THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE ALOT MORE OF THERE KIND THEN DESHAWN KIND.SHE WASN’T BORN INTO A 15000 SQ FT HOME-SO STOP ACTING LIKE IT.SO LET HER CLASSY EDUCATED BUTT MAKE MONEY OFF HER BRAIN AND HER BIG OLD WHITE CHICKLET TEETH.SHE NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT ALSO .I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT HER CHEF WOULD HAVE INFORMED HER EDUCATED BUTT ,ABOUT THE DISEASES THAT COME WITH BEING OVER WEIGHT

  • i SAID IT… YA DAMN RIGHT

  • SMDH aka SEXY CHOCOLATE SYRUP SAUCE

    Why does the ghetto loud ass sistaalways get the play and the decent well rounded ones get asked to leave??

    I was noticing that on the Bad Girls Club they have brought Tanisha’s ghetto ignorant ass back!! Why is the obnoxious ignorant sista so marketable?!?!

  • P

    i’ve never seen the show, because i knew i’d hate it.

    i’m a good judge like that.

    ***********************************
    Because the media loves to market black women as stereotypes, they like to see us roll our neck, eyes, snap our fingers, be loud and act ignorant so they can say “I told you so, that’s how black women are”. And people love to watch us act alley on t.v. Flava Flave has started a coon trend and it keeps getting bigger.

  • eveinthegarden

    ms K…you said it all.

  • Roe ski Love

    DeShawn, God removed you from that nonsense. You and Eric’s finances are in order, the rest of them; not so much. The show is going to use them up and then spit them out. Similar to what they did to you. By the way—- welcome to hollywood! Keep doing your thing, you are better than trash TV.

  • Man Down!

    Sit your ass down. Those women didn’t act all crazy like you all are depicting them to be.

    DeShawn was boooooring. Plain and simple, and she was stupid too. How down to earth was she if they made it a point to show the 15K check she made out to the church. And then also the comment she made to Lisa Wu about the fact that NFL money is guaranteed. But NBA is…so she decided to cut back and only lease 1 Mercedes instead of 2….WTF

    She’s a dumb, uneducated broad, that made the right decision by sticking by her ugmo hubby and it paid off. Chile Boo!

  • truth, iam a girl

    Ya watch the trash so ya are the reason why she got kicked off! People support the degrading shows of black people!

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    I most certainly will be watching. I can’t wait to sneak a peak at Ed’s nice firm fat round brown ass. fuc* all those other weave wearing ho’s.

    The media has been pretty equal to me with the ghetto drama filled shows. Look at rock of love

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    Hey lite skin you looking good today. what’s good!!

  • Reesie….of Cephus and Reesie

    I just did not like her….I actually did not like any of them but she seemed so out of touch with everything. She did not cook for her husband and children and I have issues with that. You gotta throw a peach cobbler out there every now and again…sheesh. And that church she goes to is just insane, that pastor is such a media clown. I don’t plan on watching the show but I am glad to know that she won’t be back on there….now if they can just get rid of NeNe, Lisa, Kim, Sheree….

  • Frankie says Holla!!!

    DeShawn is classy and well intentioned, but at the end of the day, she was just too boring and didn’t come off to be too bright. But I wish her well… so long as she is not in charge of hosting fundraisers in the future.

    You guys should feel sorry for how this show is displaying black women in a negative fashion. I refused to watch it.

  • Mz.Jessica

    She needs to sit her tail down somewhere. She acting like she has been rich all of her life. I think she is an airhead. During the reunion show she looked like she was counting rainbows and unicorns. She always had this blank Beyonce stare on her face. I will admit that she acted like she had some sense. All of the other women were acting like high school girls with all the txting she said she said drama back and forth.

  • Lady J

    Anytime one goes “against the grain” you are considered unpopular…. It’s a shame that the show couldn’t have a broad view of every type of personality… I watched the show once maybe twice and remember thinking, “Thank goodness they someone who is sane”. I am so sick of the reality shows; it’s just too much now. Let’s go back to the basics teaching young folks how to act with dignity, integrity & honest…. those values with always withstand the test of time….

  • d

    I agree with Chanel completely…

    hmpf… hilarious

    I never really thought DeShawn was that classy, she is no Michelle O. So to be a classy Black women we just need not curse publicly and and other antics. No I think that should be the norm and Classy she hold more wieght.

    Like proper english leans towards classy.

    The estate manager seem ridiculous, granted I give them props for the nice diggs, but why the chef and house full of staff when you don’t work full time? And yes, definitely should have sold tickets to the charity gala, duh its a Non-Profit, that’s an automatic tax write off.

  • ShavonDenise

    I think Bravo is barking up the wrong tree hear because they’re conceptualizing black women as having to be all “drama-filled, ghetto faboulous” and its not right. I mean if we were dealing with the correct interpretation of people in particular black women it would be very diverse. Do they think that there arent classy women in the world like Michelle Obama? Do they think women like Oprah are one in a million? NO! Reality TV is the furthest thing from reality. Its like a mentral show for blacks and a trailer park trash festival for whites.

    @SMDH

    “Why does the ghetto loud ass sistaalways get the play and the decent well rounded ones get asked to leave??

    I was noticing that on the Bad Girls Club they have brought Tanisha’s ghetto ignorant ass back!! Why is the obnoxious ignorant sista so marketable?!?!”

    Because mainstream media has discovered the marketability of the Sapphire archetype — The finger-snappin’, neck-twirlin’, confrontational, unpolished image of black women has proven to be a cash cow for the people behind these shows. Once that stereotype — along with the other images of the current “pimp” subculture — becomes unmarketable, I believe you’ll see less of it.

    Deshawn didn’t have the baggage or the inclination for creating drama of the other cast members, and, therefore, she was dropped. The networks aren’t into “uplifting” black women or extolling our virtues — They want to put out a product that sells.

    Yes, there are shows that depict women of other races in a negative light, but as other posters mentioned, those depictions are countered with more positive portrayals that are, unfortunately, lacking when it comes to us.

  • http://www.myspace.com/zitb Z.I.T.B.

    I didn’t like her in the beginning, but ended up liking her. Her not knowing how to cook and being a mother is disturbing. But other than that we must remember that she was with her hubby when he had nada. I do not think of her in the gold-digger sense. But I do think she needs to learn how to do something other than stuff that is easy to do. Dude is at the end of his career and she will not be able to spend his money like she is now when he retires or gets hurt. Rich black folks overdue it because they want to act wealthy when they are just rich. Rich is when you got money now and you are working to keep that money. Wealth is where you ain’t gotta do a damn thing but collect the interest checks from the family trust or the investments you’ve made, and play golf 24/7. So we need to start investing and stop spending so dayum much trying to be D. Trump when we Forest Gump. Tax-Free municipal bonds right now are a good investment. Some are under-priced and have a good interest rate (5%). You don’t pay taxes on the interest that you get. So Deshawn, fire some of those people and buy you some damn bonds!!! (1,000,000X.05=$50,000 annually tax free), and you get that million back when the bonds mature at whatever term you bought em….ie. preservation of WEALTH!! That’s what wealthy people buy. So anyway, she seemed ok. I just think she has a spending problem. My advice..invest that money instead of spending it unnecessarily all the time. It won’t last forever if you keep doing that Deshawn.

  • CHRISSY

    THIS FOOL WANTED TO BE A BLACK SOCIALITE SPEAKING EBONICS AND TELLING LISA THAT HER MAN IN THE NFL MONEY IS NOT GUARANTEED..I DIDN’T LIKE HER BORING CORNY, SNOBBISH ASS ANYWAY, GOOD RIDDANCE….

  • r&bfoevah

    i did not like her from jump! she came off as fake and trying to be high society. Just because you have money does not mean you have class. she was sooo off the mark with that fundraiser and where are these so called girls she’s helping out and why werent they there for her wack ass fundraiser.

  • http://bossip.com chocolate chip

    I agree with MsK- it was such a turn-off to see her act like she was completely lost in the kitchen- she didn’t get that fat just on fast food- also having a stylist and make-up artist come to her home daily was fake- I thought DeShawn was so fake but pretty.

  • Sunshine305

    To the lame ass person impersonating Its6amHoGetOut, we get it already he hurt you, we know thats not him typing, like he said at least type something funny. What you’re doing right now is sad and pathetic.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAAAP!!!!

    It could be worse, Bossip. I wish we could see similar examples of her integrity like on that train wreck of a reality show, ‘Bad Girls.’

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAAAP!!!!

    Sunshine, not to mention it’s starting to turn my damn stomach.

  • missgirl

    good for here

  • memchee

    No asking her to return was a mistake.

    Kim and Deshawn provide a mature balance to the show. It made the show viewable for those of us who consider ourselves mature.

  • nothankyou

    DeYawn did say some ignorant things, but don’t we all? I, for one, thought that little zinger about “guaranteed money” was priced. I too hated the way she said “jewelry” (“joowree”?). And her teeth were definitely in her way. She’d be nicer looking if she lost about 30 lbs. She was heading into “fat and stank” territory and definitely looked like she had crumbs in her cleavage. I only saw a minute or two of the reunion show, but I admired her composure.

  • Sunshine305

    @ Awwwwshadap,

    Thanks, I mean whoever this person is the real 6am must have struck a nerve with her in one of his rants, its like she’s in love with his ass and he rejected her.

  • Tony Curtis

    Good Riddance!! She was dead weight on the show. What she needs besides stylists & personal assistants is a personal trainer & Slim Fast.

  • Whut??

    We’ve all worked somewhere, and at some point, knew that we were above what we were doing and the people we were doing it with, at that time. I see this as the same situation for Deshawn. She is above all that nonsense. What a great compliment to be told to move along and away from that lineup.

  • patterns

    Well this is my first time posting, but I had to add to the discussion. I agree that just because a person has money, does not mean they have class. Deshawn tried to act so high society, and the audience could clearly see that she was not. At the reunion show she acted like she was better than all the ladies. Which we clearly know that she is not. If she was her stylist would have made sure her wig was adjusted and was modern. I just could not deal with the dramatic wig that her stylist attempted to tame. I like people that are realists, and clearly she was not being herself. NeNe had the most realistic personality.

  • txgals

    DeShaunn has class. The others didn’t. It is so not a compliment when you’re grouped up with the likes of Kim and Sharee’.

  • exotica

    I tend to agree with Ms k. Although DeShawn wasn’t into the drama, she definitely tended to show off and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous having that large of a household staff, as well as having someone come to your house to do your hair and makeup every day. I thought it was tacky the way she bragged about not knowing how to cook. I mean Eric Snow was in the league for a bunch of years but he doesn’t have Kobe or Lebron money and he never had major endorsements, so I hope DeShawn scales down her extravagance now that he’s in retirement.

  • Flawdagurl

    Somebody please explain to me what Class is because I am sick of people saying who has it and who dont. Nobody on this board can tell me that they haven’t took off on someone for saying disrespectful things to them or talking ish bout them when they are not around. Some of you mofos here argue and do things to each other all the time and you’ve never met each other before and thats the damn shame. Difference is these women choose to have their lives viewed and judged so please dont think these women are any different from your wife, girlfriend, sister or mother b/c they are not.

  • zappy

    Deshawn was boring. I am still surprised they let her go because I assumed they knew her personality before. I also assume, she was suppose to be the claming influence on teh show. I guess I was wrong on both accounts.

    Good luck. I don’t think any of these ladies had the money they bragged about or else why would you do a tacky show?

  • blackgirl

    I like her. She was just wide eyed and slow and nice. Nothing special. I’m not sure about the class having part. She came off as slow and a little country…which nothing wrong with that.

  • Flawdagurl

    ps.
    Why are blacks classified as a whole.
    Ex:
    Flavor of love s= disgrace to all blacks
    Rock of love= disgrace to Brett
    Chance of love= disgrace for blacks
    A shot at Tequilla= disgrace to Tequilla

    My point is all these shows do the same thing as our black shows if not worst but we get judged as a whole instead of a individuals like other races but I dont hear their peers sayin Oh Tequilla is a disgrace to the whole (whatever her nationality is).

  • Flawdagurl

    And Please dont get me started on them Orange County Hoes who are only aabout spending money and drama. But do you see white people talking bout how unclassy they are on that show hell no because they dont represent every white female with money. At least I can say the women on Atlanta showed more love for their family then any of the other HW iv’e seen.

  • NB

    She was fat and annoying surpised her NBA baller hubbo would stay with her but he probably cheats

  • Boss Lady

    Well move on to greener pastures but I don’t trust a woman who can’t cook no way. I mean for real boo, you have kids and a big black king at that big pretty house you got and you don’t cook for him??? Sad, and that ain’t hatin cuz if my home was that large and we had that much bread, I’d still have my ass in the kitchen like I do every night cooking for my family. And yeah, I didn’t like the fact that she was showcasing the 15K check to the church. That’s a private matter and that’s in the Bible. What you give is what you give and it’s between you and God and the IRS. I’m glad she’s gone but at the same time, I hate that they are continuing to shed a bad light on us a people. I’m tired of this crap and that trashy Bad Girl’s Club too. Just making us look bad although I”m SOOOOOOO glad they got rid of Kayla. Wanted to smack her through the screen.

  • smarty spice

    The funny part is: she is the only one of the women who actually has a source of income and has money. The other women are broke as a joke.

    And she da bitch that had the most problems. my favorite one is Tiffany b/c she is the sweetest person until you get mad then hell breaks lose. Them Amber bitches are some instigating, scary ass hoes, but the one Amber did give Kayla the business. I relly dont see why any of them is in that show they are only that bad b/c its on T.V.

  • foodie

    I like’d Deshawn. I think after hearing NeNe saying Bam! Hearing Sheree saying that she is fashion to the ATL. Then Kim talk about Big Poppa and her writing a check a cadillac truck that we had only seen her drive one time on the show. I needed to hear from Deshawn and her family. She had put some type of balance for me in the show.

  • ncmama

    Class? Please! Anyone who constantly refers to themselves as “elite” is exactly the opposite. I mean has she ever WATCHED television? Boring and slow simply does not cut it. Maybe with all of her free time, she can put a gym in her house and use it.

  • Coco

    She is dumber than a box of rocks. Good things she’s going back to school. Maybe she will learn how to pronouce jewelry and auction. SMH at her talking about she has speaking engagements. Don’t you have to know how to speak first???

  • Madam

    Wow someone is immating 6 am hell I never liked that nigga anyway with his bitch ass.

  • hey girl

    I like Deshawn but she was boring as hell and her husband acted like an android like Bizzaro from superfriends she should have a spot on Pastor Longs television show

  • leonard mckelvey

    hmpf I hate the way she pronounces the word ASK she says AX. Deshawn did go to college I think she can do better.

  • Toya

    @Madam

    I never liked that cock sucking fag bitch 6AM either. He is corny and wack ass hell. All that sh*t he spews about the ladies is disgusting. I guess he must love the Fellas. Ha Ha Ha LOL!!!

  • exotica

    LOL@leonard, I know every time I heard her say “ax” and “joo-rey” I wanted to scratch my damn eyes out. How can you be college educated and can’t pronounce words properly?

  • vickie

    The show has drawn a lot of viewers so they need people that will act a damn fool like Nene dumb ass.

    They dont want someone that acts like a half way decent human. they want ignorant shit, arguing and all that….

  • And…..(with 5 dots)

    I liked DeShawn, but classy and humble she was not!Just because someone is quiet, doesn’t mean they aren’t suspect. She threw out a lot of cheap shots about the other girls, and flaunted her money around too, but in a more subtle way. DeShawn had me cussing more than the rest of the girls b/c she was such an airhead.

  • Hoodrats Are Comical

    I find it amusing that some of you are complaining about the negative stereotypes perpetuated on this show, and yet week after week, you’re glued to your tv set in rapt awe…What’s more comical and disingenuous is some of you more educated posters (who shall remain un-named) are avid viewers also, but has the timerity to criticize said stereotypes too. Hypocrites!

  • sophistication

    Sad to hear the news but… did anyone see the episode where she wrote the 15k check then goes to meet the pastor of the church who had to be introduced to her. Give me a break! I know that you are suppose to give your tithes to the lord/church,but if im writing checks like that(and the broad did mention that she has giving money similar to that particular church all the time) That pastor will know my first and last name, and will have my ass over for dinner every sunday.

  • 2crazy4u

    I like Deshawn, she was’nt perfect, but she was sweet. I think all the ladies on the show need help. I mean Sheree with her fashion show designer mess.
    Kim with her no singing ass, Nene who
    is what I call Ghetto fabulous and
    DeShawn with her charity auction. I like them all, but they really do need some help especially with business and talent. But hey, that’s entertainment.
    HA!

    I’m going to do my best to not be too offensive against Deshawn. but this woman is so clueless. admit it, sweetheart you have no spark! Bravo knows this and that’s why they’re not bringing you back.

    Plus, why oh why does she insist on bringing God and Jesus into this foolishness of a reality show.

    she thinks she sounds all Christian, but she sounds stupid. it scares me how she uses her faith to feel like she knows what she’s doing, but is really very lost.

  • claroliza

    oh yeah and she’s so country! what an embarrasement to watch.

  • free

    i actually liked NOT LIKING her. she showed how totally clueless you can be when you have everything served to you on a platter. she balanced it out with her naive nuttiness. too much gutter funk will make me turn it off. they need someone WITH ACTUAL MONEY and WHO GOES TO ONE OF THESE MEGA CHURCHES (lol) to balance out this show.

  • free

    plus i find it hard to believe that eric would even allow her to do this now that he is retired. it only made HIM look bad.

    I think she was by far one of the better chicks on the show, class-wise at least. The fact that she was a little country was irrelevant but the fact that she couldn’t cook, hell no. As for the tithes…ain’t it supposed to be 10%, can’t hate her because her 10 is greater than my 10.

    Good for Deshawn!! I am so mad that they want to get rid of our sister who carried herself with pride and restraint. They are always wanting us to look like animals…..so stupid! I hate Bravo now! I was a big fan before…damn

  • ms meca

    they got rid of the black woman that shows respect for herself and has class but they keep the ghetto ones.. again this goes to show they only want one image of black people and thats loud and disorderly..

  • ms meca

    um.. whats wrong with bein country

  • Butterflygirl

    Did anyone notice she didn’t need to open her mouth to talk…lol? Her voice irrated me so much.

  • I LUV RAY LEWIS

    The show was a joke and everyone watched it because of the drama. She wasn’t like that so she needed to go. I admit I did enjoy the show but that’s good she didn’t change herself to fit it.

  • Ms.t

    IT’S FUNNY HOW WE AS BLACK PEOPLE TALK TRASH ABOUT ONE ANOTHER. THAT WHAT THEY LIKE. DESHAWN WAS A POSITIVE ROLEMODEL FOR BLACKS AND I ENJOYED HER ON THE SHOW. SHE REPRESENTED THE BLACKS THAT DO KNOW WHO TO ACT. SO TO ALL THAT’S TALKING S*** ABOUT HER SHE’S STILL PAID.

    DESHAWN YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY.

  • niasia

    She was the most normal and classy out of all of them…well lisa was cool too. The media would rather show black women acting crazy and ish! I hope they take Kim’s ass off too!

    @ niasia

    They should take Kim off. She is not a housewife, wife, girlfriend, or even a mistress anymore.

  • http://leolabernard@sbcglobal.net Texas

    I think they decided to not bring DeShawn back after the reunion. DeShawn was sitting there looking dumb as she was in another world. You have to have an opinion about something and she had none. I hope her well, but I’m glad she won’t be back on the show. She brough nothing to the show.

  • smiley

    She wasnt the rowdy type so they have to get someone ghetto…. like Neffe she would fit right n….lol!!!!

  • Yvonne

    I think they should have kept her on the show as the “port in the storm”. She would have been the perfect one for the girls to come to for advice or comfort when their lives are spiraling out of control.

    I am sure if they have told up to pump it up a bit she would have. She’s not the NeNe, Lisa or Sheree type but I believe she would have shown a bit more aggressiveness without losing her own personality if given the chance.

    I guess if you don’t act like a freaking fool on TV the producers don’t want you. That’s what keeps the viewers each week and the money coming in and I can understand that.

    It also says a lot about the viewing public state of mind.

    Beautiful picture of her. I, for one, liked her and I will miss her.

  • Rough Shot

    Well we know Sheree will be back she needs the expose for the her clothing line!

  • Yvonne

    @SMDH aka SEXY CHOCOLATE SYRUP SAUCE…I was asking myself the same question. But I know the why.

    As I said in my last post…the producers of these shows know that the viewing public likes a lot of trashy ghetto acting, cussing every third word, cat fighting woman and they play on this and us like a fiddle. What’s the answer…let’s give them more shows like this.

    That’s why people like New York, Keyshia Cole’s family, the Bad Girls and all those VH1 shows, just to name a few, are so popular.

    If we stop looking at this garbage they would take all of them off the air in a minute, but they know that is not going to happen.

    This has made me take a look at myself. I don’t watch a lot of these type of shows, but the few I do watch have me hooked.

    I have decided to wean myself off of the shows I do watch and find something more constructive to do with my life in my spare time.

  • candylicker

    Her boring azz wasn’t talking about shyte… NEXT!

  • Phenomenal Dee (God Bless President Obama, the First Family, and the U.S.A.)

    Man Down! and Ms. K hit it right on the nose! DeShawne was hellaboring, and the show’s intent and purpose is meant to entertain. I don’t think anyone really believes that ANY of those chicks really stunt like that; but DeShawne amped up her “uppity” for the show, and it was not a good look. Let her be reminded that Mr. Snow is UNEMPLOYED, and no longer an NBA baller, so she may not want to keep that leased Benz in her future. I also hope she’s taking and English course since she’s continuing her studies. She has a problem with annunciating certain words!
    Double *YAWN* to DeShawne! And I will be tuning in to see more shananigans next season!

  • toussaintbeaupre

    STupid Black Bit-chez Talking loud and ignored. this is not the black upper class, plenty of real Black upper class women in Atlanta from real upper class back grounds and social ties yet they go find these loud classless hoes to represent black women, and yall stupid niggaz laughin it up, Damn yall make it hard for black people to really move forward.

  • Jeana

    She showed too much class. She was church going, a good wife and mother and was loaded (she and her husband). White media doesn’t want to show that. They will replace her with a damn fool. I gaurantee it. Deshawn, be happy.

  • v-fromrock

    I have watched all the housewives shows but DeShawn was hella boring. True you don’t have to act crazy to get ratings but she had no personality. Sheree didn’t act crazy but at least she brought out some kind of emotion out of you negative or positive.

  • Neata

    DeShawn you keep doing you and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for that. You are a christian, your light shined bright on that show. When I first started watching the show I Knew you were different. You didn’t get off into all that drama, you weren’t fake and you tried to keep the drama down. When you act Christ like you are seen as an out cast, don’t fit in, wierd, different, etc. etc. I admire you, I thought you gave the show a lot of class. I like NeNe, but I think her and Kim was way too dramatic along with Sheree. I pray that you keep on doing what you do and holding God high in your life.
