Shows like “Basketball Wives” and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” have never been really selective when it comes to the marital status of their cast members. More often than not, the stars of franchises like these are either divorced or were never married to begin with.
Recently during an appearance on “LIVE with Kelly & Michael,” RHOA cast member Nene Leakes suggested that her unmarried co-stars be axed from the show. This, of course, is interesting considering that there was a brief period on the series when Nene was single.
When asked if she’d be interested in returning to the series, Nene had this to say:
“I would be there if some people left. They need to get rid of some folks. Everybody that ain’t married. Well, I mean the show is called ‘The Housewives’ isn’t it? Well yeah, so you need to be married to be on the show.”
Apparently, she believes that some of the single women are to blame for negativity displayed on the show.
“Over the years, the show has become very negative. There have been some people who have been thrown into the mix that have become negative and made the show very negative. I think they should recast.”
Nene then went on to say that perhaps one or two single girls can stick around, but the rest need to go.
“I don’t mind if there are maybe one or two girls who are unmarried because it’s always great to see a single girl like dating and all of that kind of stuff. But to have as many girls as we have on our show that’s not married…I think we need to get rid of a couple of them.”
If I had to guess, I’d say the couple she is referring to consists of Claudia Jordan and Kenya Moore.
What are your thoughts on Nene’s comments? Should more wives be added to the cast? Should the single ladies take a walk?
