Benzino Calls K.Michelle’s Career Lackluster, Upset Singer Said He Deserved to Be Fired From LHHA
came out in her deposition in the case with her former boyfriend. When she left ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ after season 2 is when I stepped in and became a main character. I was intertwined with everyone’s storylines, so how is my storyline boring? And then from having Hip Hop Weekly on the show, to opening Sleazy & Zino’s, to my mom passing away and me getting shot, all of these were major parts of this past season. Also, I brought my fiancée Althea on the show, and she became a very important factor in the show’s storyline as well. We broke ratings records without K Michelle! If anything was boring, it was her involvement with the New York cast last season, you barely knew that she was even there.
She better hope that her new show does better numbers than that VH1 special they did on her that basically flopped. She better hope it’s not a one and done like ‘Gossip Girls ‘, the Hot 97 show and ‘The New Atlanta.’ But once again, she is one of Mona Scott’s favorites–Mona manages her so of course I expected to hear K Michelle speak on their behalf. In my opinion it’s unprofessional to be the leader of a company and take sides and show favoritism, when it clearly was the whole cast, not just one person, that has made ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ so successful.
He also wrote the following Instagram caption:
It’s sad she had alot of negative and false words directed toward me, especially when ME and HHW have supported her and her lackluster career, but what do you expect from someone who runs around a tv set naked and dances with midgets for ratings
Ouch! [Editor’s note: We’ve been told that the reason Benzino and his fiancee were fired, was because they had planned to press charges and sue Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez, after the reunion brawl. We were also told that they were pressuring VH1 in terms of drug testing, etc. Benzino nor Althea have confirmed this information, so we’ll chalk it up to unconfirmed speculation. We’ll keep you posted.]
