MeToya Monroe of ‘Sorority Sisters’: Delta Sent Me Casting Info! Denies Mona Scott-Young’s Involvement In Show [INTERVIEW]
Metoya: Yes ma’am. 2 years ago I think June 13th.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Do you think that you were edited fairly?
Metoya: I do, I’m real real. I don’t like the blame and editing. I don’t personally so I feel like I was edited the way that Metoya is and I don’t even have anything bad to say about it.
theJasmineBRAND.com: What surprised you most about the entire process?
Metoya: Filming, I just had to get used to the stop and go and the unexpected. I think for me, because I’ve never done reality TV before, the thing that I think is in every reality tv show is that element of surprise. That part is where you get the real reaction.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Did the network tell you why they decided to abruptly end the show?
Metoya: Yeah, they did. It was mainly because people were judging the book on the first chapter instead of reading the whole book. So they thought that it would be best if they put the entire product out while they could. Which I appreciated that instead of actually just cancelling it. You know, just dump the rest of the story. I appreciated them for allowing our whole story to be seen by the world.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Did VH1 say it was because of the controversy or was it because advertisements pulled out?
Metoya: I think it was more of the backlash that they wanted people to see the whole product. We didn’t have a problem with the ratings. Everybody knows that right now. The ratings was never an issue. With the backlash this was their way of wanting to show the world that this is what we’ve done. This is the final product. It isn’t really as bad as you’re all thinking.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Were you surprised at the backlash about the show?
Metoya: Yes, I was. From the first episode it was like attack-vill. Instead of it being received like any other show, we’re going to start out with a problem. You’re going to see the clash in the beginning and see how you work through that the rest of the show. It was like immediate attack.
theJasmineBRAND.com: What do you think the public’s biggest issue was with the show?
Metoya: The misconception of representing an organization on a show because of a name. What people fail to realize is that is what brought us all together. What else did we all have in common? Yes, we are all business owners but how else would we meet.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Did you all receive death threats?
Metoya: That is very true. Some of them were other greeks. Mostly they were greeks, people who were non-greeks didn’t really get why people were so upset.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Before or during the filming of the show did you contact your chapter or headquarters to say you were doing the show?
Metoya: No, I did not contact nationals or headquarters. I did inform a few members of my chapter other than my line sisters. A few of them considered it but I’m sure they’ll never tell you guys that or the public.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Were you surprised that you were expelled?
