[EXCLUSIVE] Hollywood Exes’ Shamicka Lawrence On: Being Called A ‘Hood Rat’, Andrea Kelly’s Troubled Marriage + Predictions for ‘Atlanta Exes’

Jasmine BRAND: Ok it’s not a bit, you have a little bit of a conflict.

Shamicka Lawrence: For real, she called me a hood rat for real this time…that was a task…yeah.

Jasmine BRAND: So, she called you a hood rat and she said that and I don’t know if this was a reference to you but she was saying that black girls and white girls don’t really do well together socially. What was your reaction when you heard her make the comment?

Shamicka Lawrence: Well, it really pissed me off because my thing is that we’re in it, we’re in a different time, we all know that there are stories of racism in the world. Look at Donald Sterling, we all know that but the thing is when you’re in a group of black women, it pisses me off because you smile in my face, you’re acting like we’re cool but you don’t like me. I don’t like that, that really, that mad my blood boil because…That didn’t sit right with me because you’re being 2 faced. You love the black man, you know you love the black man yeah but you don’t like his mother! The woman who gave birth to him? Stuff was just going through my mind and I was just like pissed.

Jasmine BRAND: Were you surprised?

Shamicka: Kinda but not really. You know I wasn’t surprised at the things…Jessica says stuff outside (her) face all the time. She’ll say stupid stuff but that whole thing kinda got me off guard because like you’re so close to Nicole [Murphy].

Jasmine BRAND: Have you spoken since the episode aired?

Shamicka Lawrence: No.

Jasmine BRAND: Do we have any plans maybe before the reunion to have a conversation?

Shamicka Lawrence: You have to watch.

Jasmine: That’s fair, moving on to another big story line of this season is Drea [Andrea Kelly] and her fiancé. You expressed concerns, while you all were filming a little bit…

Shamicka Lawrence: Well, I think what it is, is that you love someone, you know as we’re sisters, we love each other. We want to make sure that’s the right man for you. It was just our concerns….I actually tried to date myself, right before the show aired, a guy and he was trying to ‘come-up’ and so my thing is that I saw that and I think for me I wanted to make sure that wasn’t the same situation. We just want the best for her, we always want the best and we’re gonna share with her our opinion—you may not like it, but it’s an opinion. You know, so we give it and we give it all out of love–but it’s all of us. I mean even if they give me an opinion, I’ll appreciate the opinion but it’s up to me to take it or not so I think we all love her and we want to make sure everything is ok. So as a friend, as a sister, that’s what we should do….I just think it was too fast that was the main thing when you love someone why why rush, that was our thought, why rush? If you love someone that much, take your time, that’s all, that was our concern.

Jasmine BRAND: So there have been reports that their separated—have you spoken to her?
