Tameka Raymond quits “Atlanta Exes”
Tameka Raymond’s name is swirling in the rumor mill today after a gossip blogger reported that she quit her upcoming reality show. As previously reported, Usher’s ex-wife is currently filming VH1’s “Hollywood Exes” spin-off, “Atlanta Exes” alongside Torrei Hart, Monyetta Shaw, Sheree Buchanan and Christina Johnson. However, according to Michelle Brown of StraightFromTheA.com, Raymond’s reality TV plans have come to an abrupt stop.
Brown reports that while filming the show Saturday, Raymond had a blowup with “Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta” alumni DJ Traci Steele. Steele apparently popped up at Raymond’s Estelle boutique where the former wife was selling clothes to benefit her Kile’s World Foundation in honor of her late 11-year-old son. Steele apparently blasted Raymond for bumping heads with Torrei Hart who is a friend of the DJ.
“With camera’s rolling, Steele immediately ‘turned up’ for the show and acted out at the event in front of several surprised customers,” reports Brown. “From what I’ve heard, Traci came into the store yelling and screaming at Tameka asking why she didn’t like Torrei and blah blah blah. Tameka could be heard stating, ‘this isn’t the place for this’ and Traci continued to press the issue.”
As a result of the blowup Raymond has reportedly left the show and will be replaced by Steele who hinted at her new reality TV gig on Instagram.
“Back on VH1 today. Filmed today and the scene was epic,” wrote the defunct starlet. “You’re always going to be mad at what you see. I’m making cast members quit!” she reportedly added.
Steele has since deleted both posts.
VH1’s “Atlanta Exes” is expected to premiere this spring.
