has weighed in on the cancellation of her reality
show "Starter Wives Confidential," which was
recently canceled from the TLC network's lineup of
programming.
Tashera Simmons was one of the ex-wives/
girlfriends featured on the show, which also
included ex-girlfriends/wives of Floyd Mayweather
Jr., Lamar Odom and rapper 50 Cent.
While 50 Cent has claimed in reports that he had
a hand in "Starter Wives Confidential's"
cancellation, TLC recently issued a statement after
the show was axed, blaming bad ratings as the
reason the plug pulled was pulled.
In a statement released today (February 21),
Tashera Simmons lashed out, claiming the show
was canceled due to "many inflated egos."
"I am no stranger to television and what just
happened was unheard of and completely
unorthodox," Tashera Simmons said. "There were millions of dollars
and a lot of hard work put into this project by the
producers, staff and my costars. It's hard to
believe that there are still some fundamental
issues in our society about women speaking up or
having a voice."
According to Tashera Simmons, "Starter Wives
Confidential" was more than just a reality show –
it was about a group of women "stepping out of
the shadows of their ex's and finding their way in
life personally and professionally."
Tashera Simmons took an obvious shot at rapper
50 Cent, claiming that a double standard existed
in the entertainment industry.
"It's okay for rappers to get on television and tell
their story about how many times do were shot or
how they were heavily in the drug game, but it's
not okay for women to share their story about
their life experiences," Tashera Simmons said.
Tashera Simmons is working on her memoir titled
"Finding Tashera," in addition to coaching her son
Xavier Simmons, as he embarks upon a career in
the music business.
