Deshawn sat down with Essence and talked about her not returning back on the season 2 of The Real Houserwives of Atlanta, this is what she had to say:
ESSENCE: We hear that you are no longer returning to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Is that true?
DESHAWN: Yes, one of the producers called me yesterday and said that they wouldn’t take my option.
ESSENCE: What reason did they give for not inviting you back for the second season?
DESHAWN: [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: So were you at all shocked by the decision?
DESHAWN: 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.
Well things do happen on a dime don’t they.
