Royce Reed (the baby mama to Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard), Jennifer Williams (ex-wife of ex-NBA guard Eric Williams) and Kesha Nichols (former fiancée of San Antonio Spurs forward Richard Jefferson) have been waived as “dead weight” from the reality TV series, TMZ is reporting.
Sources told the gossip site that Reed became a hot potato for producers since she was prohibited from talking about Howard because of a 2009 gag order. She also wasn’t particularly liked by the rest of the cast and had to film her scenes seperately, insiders say.
Williams may have been on borrowed time, too, after filing a lawsuit against castmate Nia Crooks for slapping her. Crooks is star Evelyn Lozada’s personal assistant.
The cuts come just two days after star Shaunie O’Neal (Shaquille’s ex) told The Insider that she won't return to the show for a fifth season with the current cast intact. There were three she said that came to mind but wouldn’t publically name them.
“Immediately, no questions asked. [It's\]not anything personal, it’s just not where I’m trying to go. Not on the same page,” she said.
