No More Deshawn Snow
The only housewife with any money on 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' got kicked off the show.
“One of the producers called me yesterday and said that they wouldn’t take my option. 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. [The producer] 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.”
