Mashonda, one of the stars of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop” has announced that she won’t be returning for season two. She cites the show’s negative aspects (e.g. drama and fights) as her main reasons for moving on. Hear what she has to say inside….
Fans of Mashonda won’t be seeing her on any reality tv shows next season, as she vents her frustration with how “Love & Hip-Hop” turned out.
In a new interview with Hip Hop Weekly Magazine, Mashonda said she agreed to do the show because she imagined it would be a platform of empowerment for sisters.
As she was going through a very public divorce and lifestyle change with ex-husband Swizz Beatz, Mashonda thought her struggles could inspire women like Emily B (Fabolous’ baby momma) and other women in similar situations.
“I really honestly did do the show to help Emily and help women across the United States, to let them know that you’re not the only one that can go through something like this {divorce and heartbreak}.”
And she knew about the possible backlash going into it.
“No matter what I say, it’s going to be judged at the hundredth power, people are just going to look at me and judge. People are going to say I’m too emotional, or I need to get over it, or I need to move on, I’m bitter. A lot of people were actually saying (I) was strong, (I) made it out classy, (I) did everything (I) could, but when you do a show, you have to know what’s coming next, a world full of judgment.”
But when she saw the show’s final product…She was not happy.
“I just don’t feel like at this point in my life, Love and Hip Hop represents who I am, it’s just a chapter that is over. When I shot the show, I thought that it was going to be like more of a sisterhood, but when I saw a lot of the drama and the beef, I was a little surprised, I was like wow, okay, I didn’t know this was going to be apart of what this is.”
