Mashonda Leaving "Love & Hip Hop"

Mashonda revealed in a recent interview with Hip Hop Weekly that she will not be returning to the VH1 reality show "Love and Hip Hop." The former Mrs. Swizz Beatz says that she feels the show misrepresents her and she has no desire to be a part of anything associated with the typical reality show drama, i.e. catfights and bickering.

“I really honestly did do the show to help Emily [B.] 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}," Mashonda said. "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.”

“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," she added. " 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.”
