Has violence across television reached a fever pitch this week?
With last Sunday’s explosive ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ reunion episode still on everyone’s mind, civil rights group ColorOfChange.org is speaking out against violence across Bravo shows.
Read their condemning statement inside…
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, ColorOfChange campaign director Arisha Hatch says the group has been in touch with NBC Universal about their concerns of violence across much of their black centered programs. The group would like to see Bravo enact anti-violence policies, similar to VH1, in which excessive physical confrontations will be banned. VH1 enacted those new policies after fighting between “Basketball Wives” castemates caused a frenzy in 2012.
Read ColorOfChange.org’s statement below:
From the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion to the second season of “Married to Medicine,” the physical violence displayed during Bravo’s Sunday primetime lineup was deeply alarming. After weeks of promoting the RHOA reunion altercation, on Sunday executive producer Andy Cohen finally condemned the violent behavior of cast members — completely ignoring the staged hostile environment that provoked the altercation and the troubling pattern of violent, stereotypical portrayals of Black people across many of Bravo’s Black reality franchises.
Research shows that dehumanizing portrayals of Black people on television lead to real-world consequences for Black folks — influencing how we are treated by doctors, judges, teachers and lawmakers. No matter how entertaining, this should be the last fight between Black women that Bravo profits from.
Are you fed up with the violence on TV or do you think it’s “just” for entertainment? How do you feel about the issue?
That wack a** hair pulling wasn’t nothing. Have these ppl not seen the ish that goes on on these other shows.
All the ish going on in the world and they’re concerned about these hoez talking trash and pulling hair??
I can’t function…
THE DIFFERENCE IS RHOA IS NOT KNOWN FOR THAT KIND OF VIOLENCE AND NONE OF THE GIRLS ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT. THEY ALL ABOUT FOREST OF SHADES SO FOR ONE TO REACT TO THAT KIND OF VIOLENCE ATTACK AT WORK CALLS FOR CONCERN.
Nene is a very rich bytch and above ya’all.
Have they not seen Mob Wives or Bad Girl club. What Porsha did was nothing compared to those shows. Ugh They kill me with this B.s.
Porsha is disgusting. She must go!
I live for how Porsha Molly woop that A$$…. I like Kenya(only for the drama), but she is just as wrong as Porsha. #teamPorsha sorry.
Porshas not the one trying to sleep with other people’s husbands.
#TeamKenya
Porsha didn’t “whoop ass”. All she did was pull her hair. Even the girls at my school in Toronto throw down harder than that. How can you people deny the fact that Kenya won! She got up with her hair well laid and walked off like a boss ass b****, while Porsha was on the floor crying and screaming like a damn fool.
#Sorry
+ Porsha was talking a whole lot of Shitt about Kenya too. Calling her a s*** from the 90s and talking about her paying the African singer to play her boyfriend. Porsha was wrong and she was foolish to think Kenya wouldn’t react.
Kenya is queen. Porsha is a violent, dumb ass BXTCH who needs to be fired.
When moomooriah cd comn out?

Girl the hair pulling is so basic compared to what these girls on basketball wives and bad girls club be doin lmao. Even New York vs Pumpkin was more intense then that fight.
Of course, ThatGrapeJuice and its BeyHive friends would think Black women fighting each other are “just” for entertainment and that self-respecting Black people who demand for better imagery of Black people created by white gay men and Jews are “over-reacting.”
Get some damn self-respect and grow the fukk up and want better for yourselves, kids.
See here. It is insulting to decide that black women are not allowed to argue on television in case they “make black women” look bad. Anybody who judges an entire demographic based on the actions of a few people isn’t someone whose opinion should matter anyway.
Was Porsha wrong to touch her? Yes. But let’s not act as though you would sit there and do nothing if someone was doing that to you. By the way, the props were actually intended for Phaedra but she switched places with Cynthia because she knew what Kenya had in store.
Not coming from a Rihanna fan. As if Bitchhhh
Tell Rihanna that, with her ghetto a$$
Not everything that involves black people is a black issue. Kenya and Porsha did not argue because they are black, they argued because they don’t like each other. Plain and simple. This organization didn’t have much to say about Apollo’s criminal ways did they?
Have they never seen bad girls club? Lmao
Not surprised to see this demon Slayriah supporting the disgusting evil whorish Kenya Moore.
I’m entitled to my opinion. I don’t accept the violence. #sorry. This is not how a grown ass woman handles a situation. Bye
You don’t accept violence but don’t remember when Kenya pulled Nene’s ear or threatened to beat Phaedra up when she was pregnant.
The same Nene who choked Kim and and threatened to “slap the dog Shitt” out of Kenya? Bye!
Anyway, like I said before, Kenya is the queen and she is playing the game smart. Still crying @ Porsha thinking there are 265 days in a year. Not to mention the whole Underground Railroad thing and silence after Kenya asked her to spell Sceptre. Lmao. Kenya is gonna twirl her way to the bank with her Trump Cheque. 😀
Kenya is evil doe!!!!!!
Kenya SLAYS Whorsha
Queen of Blotchy skin
Death theres drama on all these reality shows get over it.
Kenya Moore is a H**!!!!!!
The newest cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is being outed as a gold digging viper who will do anything for money and fame.
Now, insiders are revealing former Miss USA (and Detroit native) Kenya Moore as nothing more than a “professional w****”. Don’t believe me.. Ask Mike Tyson.
Here’s the drop about the ‘Atlanta Housewife”:
“Kenya Moore is very brave to appear on a popular reality show. She’s the newest addition to Bravo’s RHOA, I guess producers of the show know Kenya is a professional w****. She’s been gold digging since her days in Detroit as a high school student at Cass Tech High.
Kenya used to date a drug dealer, his name is Mike Evans. By 16-years-old, she was a seasoned vet – I heard she learned that from her grandmother, who raised her. I was told her grandmother trained her and showed her how to be a proper sack-chaser.
When Kenya won the Miss USA title, all of Hollywood was after her – she went the easy route and got with Mike Tyson. She was spoiled by him, well taken care of by him, he even purchased her a home. But their s** sessions where so bad, she soon stopped seeing Tyson entirely. Mike didn’t care because I heard he video taped their s** acts. When Kenya started to act certain ways with Mike, he passed her to Keith Washington.
Kenya is all fake – her tits, ass implants and hazel contacts are all paid for by her sponsors. The only thing real about Kenya is her hair. Jacky, if you don’t believe me.. Ask Jay Z. After Jay was finished with her, he passed her over to his football player buddy Larry Johnson.”
Were Hollywood actors calling Rudolph Moise ‘Captain Save-a-H** when he married Kenya Moore? Of course they were. Don’t believe me.. Ask Martin Lawrence

But there are ZERO receipts about this though. Key word: ALLEGEDLY.
#KenyaStaysUnbothered
Not everything you read online is the Hun. You should know that considering who you Stan for. Bye!
Slayriah you look pathetic for defending a bully.
I don’t think ppl need to blame Andy
This is what happens in the black community
I’m a black woman, I have friends from races
But the only women I’ve had problems with are black women
And the ones on tv just show wut already the community is about
And also they have to fight to stay on tv since there isn’t that
many black shows…so they have to bring it, or be cancelled
But the violence has been there and I’m glad it’s being exposed
These ppl need to know its not ok
If u disagree with with ur black friends, it will get physical
Kenya moore is a bully and her ass finally got checked.
Blacks in the U.S. are violent. They are always trying to fight SOMEBODY. That’s how they “keep it real”. Real dumb.
Most of the black community dosent want to change so if you give 80% of black people a show & they will just make it in to another AHW’s. White CEO’s may love to see black people fight but if said black people brought something else intursting to the table like with other white shows then people would start to like that as long as they looked amazing and had a little bit of Drama. Black People need to change in order for change to happen. 80% of HWOA are black & that’s what they like to see not Game Of Thorns. ?
