Why Star Jones Won't Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Monday August 3, 2009
Almost 4 million people tuned in for the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta last week -- and former View cohost Star Jones says she was not one of those viewers.

"I try not to watch things that are going to make me cringe," Star twittered in response to a fan who asked if she would be watching the show. "I know 'real' housewives in Atlanta...& these aren't!"

"I try not to watch 'train wreck' TV featuring black women," Star continued. "I'd rather look to folk like Michelle Obama as the example."

Who is responsible for casting those women as the Atlanta housewives they were doing sorta okay last season they are an insult to real women with class. How Nene and the gay old dude gone talk about Kandi or Nene for talking about Kandi can’t sing with that wild eye she got going on please who is the Fuuuuk responsible for the casting of those women Just because her boyfriend is not looking a certain way look at the choices a black women got to choose from> She NENE gone call Kandi Ghetto> I hope Kandi puts her to shame I love her voice please tell me this is not going to get outta hands.

I don’t think there is anything positive that comes from watching such trash as Real Wives of Atlanta. It only confirms what the majority of white america thinks of us. If they really had the money they claim to have, they would not act as ghetto as they do. Only shows that you can take a tramp off the street, but you can never take the street out of teh tramp.
