DeShawn Snow will not return to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” when the show begins its second season.

The wife of NBA star Eric Snow said she learned only Monday that the series would go on without her, leaving Lisa Wu Hartwell, NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield and Kim Kolciak to break in another cast member.

“[One of the producers] called and said that I was “too human for a circus show” and that because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn’t think that I would fit in,” DeShawn told Essence.com. “He gave me an example, saying that during the reunion when I found out what a few of the other ladies said about me, they were expecting me to say more, but I’m not the type to go ‘television’ and start acting crazy because somebody’s talking about me. I’m fine with the decision. It wasn’t my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings. I am thankful for the opportunity.”

During an appearance Wednesday on Los Angeles radio station KJLH, NeNe said the wives of basketball legend Dr. J and music superstar Usher were being considered to replace DeShawn. However, Usher’s wife Tameka Foster has since come forward to deny the reports.

“Although [Bravo] approached me, and I was flattered by the offer, I will not be joining the ‘Real Housewives’ cast,” said Raymond, who just welcomed her second son, Naveid Ely, with her husband in December.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Sheree Whitfield of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” has dismissed her divorce appeal after considering the dismal financial state of her ex-husband, former Atlanta Falcons player Bob Whitfield.

The one-time athlete has squandered his fortune and failed to pay child support for his two children for 15 months, Sheree’s lawyer, Michael Weinstock, said Monday.

“The man hasn’t paid a dime in child support,” Weinstock said. “Mr. Whitfield’s going to have to figure out how to pay the money.”

Weinstock made the claims during arguments before the Georgia Supreme Court in which he and Bob Whitfield’s lawyer, Christopher Olmstead, leveled accusations at one another. Olmstead argued that Sheree, 38, or her lawyers, should fork over $2,500 in penalties for bringing a frivolous appeal.

“This is an affront to the court,” Olmstead said. “The icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae” arrived Monday morning when Sheree Whitfield’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, he said.

Weinstock countered that the appeal was filed for legitimate reasons but the issue is now moot because Whitfield is broke.

Sheree Whitfield, one of the cast members on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has filed an appeal with the Georgia Supreme Court regarding her divorce settlement from ex-husband Bob Whitfield.

In a Housewives episode, Whitfield made it known that she wanted a seven figure settlement in her divorce from the former Atlanta Falcons player.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Sheree was originally awarded $2,142.87 a month in child support for the couple’s two kids, who were 8 and 11 when the Whitfields divorced after seven years in 2007.

She was also given more than $1.1 million in a marital property division, a lump sum payment of $775,000 and portions of three NFL retirement programs totaling somewhere in the neighborhood of $113,422 annually, but no alimony was awarded, the Fulton County public information officer revealed.

She also has been ordered to move out of a $2.6 million home in Sandy Springs, which she is fighting, saying she can’t afford to buy a home in the neighborhood her kids are accustomed to.

Sheree’s lawyers argue that her lack of education (she has only a high school diploma) and inability to earn income (her Bella Azul clothing boutique failed soon after opening) are in stark contrast to NFL retiree Bob, who received an $8 million signing bonus with the Falcons as part of a $30 million six-year contract.

He’s invested that money into real estate ventures in Costa Rica, California and Atlanta, and draws $50,000 a year from his Patchwerks recording studio.

Bob’s lawyers believe Sheree should be fined $2,500 for bringing a frivolous appeal.

In a no-brainer move for Bravo, the Atlanta-based incarnation of its “Real Housewives” franchise – and the first with a predominantly-black cast – has been renewed for a second season.

The reality show, which followed the lives of five (supposedly) wealthy women in Atlanta, averaged 1.3 million adults 18-49 in its first season, and nearly 1.5 million total viewers, according to Variety.

The Atlanta season received higher ratings than any of Bravo’s “Orange County” seasons or the lone “New York” run.

The ATL reunion special, which featured fireworks between cast members Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leaks, also produced the biggest single-episode numbers of all three franchises, garnering 2.1 million adults 18-49 and 2.8 million total viewers.

The season may be over, but drama still continues for 41-year-old NeNe Leakes of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that the reality show star and her husband Gregory left their posh five-bedroom spread after receiving an eviction notice.

According to Darryl Pierce, the broker for the 5,000-square-foot home at 1765 Silvermere Court in Duluth, the couple moved out in November after Winwood Properties filed an eviction notice on Sept. 24.

Filed with the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, the notice said Greg Leakes owed $6,240 in past due rent, and “the tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house.”

The owner of the home, Kajani Shenaz Ali, lives overseas, Pierce said. Online records show the home in the gated community of Stonebrier at Sugarloaf, was purchased for $829,400 in September 2006. Pierce said the Leakeses moved into the home shortly after it was built in 2006.

NeNe, in a series of e-mails to AJC Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”

She also wrote that the eviction notice does not have her name on it, adding “you don’t know my relationship with Greg so be careful what you report!”

The Duluth home, she wrote in an e-mail late last week, “was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn’t work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do.”

On Tuesday, she wrote, “If we rent, lease purchase or buy, money is still coming out of my pocket. So who’s [sic] business is that??”

Gregory, 54, is a real estate investor, according to the show. The only business the AJC could find under his name in Georgia is called Advantage Move LLC. The phone number listed for Advantage Move has been disconnected.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta averaged 1.3 million viewers over seven episodes, the biggest freshman series for the Bravo cable network since Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in 2003. The drama-filled reunion episode on Nov. 25 drew 2.8 million viewers, which is more than any Real Housewives episode, including versions in Orange County, Calif., and New York City.

The ladies came together in the spirit of love, friendship and reconciliation… Nah, not really, they came together for the drama, feuding and bickering!

Whether sharing a catty luncheon or feeling the stress of trying to achieve their dreams, the women kept themselves busy through the episode. Kim and Shereé bonded while NeNe glowered and DeShawn and Lisa kept things calm by venturing into the kitchen to cook some chicken.

According to E! Online, the reclusive comedian will be on-hand to interview James Lipton as part of the show’s 200th episode, which will also feature highlights from its past 14 seasons.

On Inside the Actor’s Studio, Chappelle famously discussed his abrupt departure from Comedy Central’s Chappelle Show and his subsequent retreat to Africa during a December 2005 taping that aired in February 2006.

The two-hour Chappelle-hosted special will air on November 10th and will be a look back at the career and interviews that Lipton has done from Julia Roberts to Will Smith to Angelina Jolie and others.
