NeNe, Kim, Sheree, and Lisa, make room for one more! EW has learned exclusively that DeShawn Snow’s replacement on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta is Kandi Burruss, a singer-songwriter from the platinum-selling ’90s R&B girl group Xscape!

Burruss is undeniably the most notable member from Xscape. Since the group parted ways in the late ’90s, she had a somewhat successful solo singing career (her biggest hit: “Don’t Think I’m Not”) but has seen ever greater successes with songwriting. Along with Cottle (who’s married to rap superstar T.I.), she wrote TLC’s 1999 smash hit “No Scrubs.” Burruss has also penned jams for Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, Boyz II Men, Alicia Keys, and Faith Evans. The singer-songwriter has a daughter, 6-year-old Riley, from a previous relationship, and a boyfriend.

    What happened to idea that a housewife really needed to be a wife? This show is ridiculous. You had a show with three wives and two divorcees. Why even called them housewives. Just rename the show Real Idiots of Atlanta. Very disappointing show.

    What does it say when Bravo replaces DeShawn because she’s not as outlandish as the others? They stated that they expected more of a reaction out of her when at the reunion show when they aired comments the other women had made against her. The fact that this woman refuses to act like an animal on television just further defines her as a classy, sophisicated lady. As a black woman, I have an excessive temper but not all black women do. It’s only fair that Bravo display that calm, collected demeanor that a lot of black women possess. Why would Bravo want to remove a postive, level-headed black woman to showcase a trainwreck filled solely with rude, annoying, vulgar, fake females masquerading as women?

    Ok..lets get real folks! The only person that brings fire to the show is NENE because she keeps it real and I must agree that they all should be housewives…that is the name of the show. The show is great…but at least keep it real.

    I think DeShawns hubby told her no mas/ no more! He didn’t look like he was digging the cameras all over his home when he WAS home. BUT this is some GREAT news!!! A real life money maker…cuzz seems to me all the ATL housewives (excluding Lisa cuzz she works) are living off of their mens wallets! CAN’T WAIT for season 6!!!

    If they really got rid of DeShawn because she would not act a fool then the network needs to be ashamed and I need to be ashamed for watching next season; ’cause I will be watching!!!!!!!

    I THINK DESHAWN WAS COOL, SHE JUST HAD HER OWN THING GOING ON AND WAS INTERESTED IN WHAT TH OTERS HAD TO SAY. NENE IS MY GIRL ” SHE MAKES THE SHOW,U NEVER KNOW WHATS GOING 2 COME OUT OF HER MOUTH” LISA, IS SWEET I’M GLAD SHES NOT WITH THAT ABUSIVE ASS KEITH SWEAT ANYMORE , KIM SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH HER NONE SINGING ASS.
