VH1’s “Hollywood Exes” spinoff “Atlanta Exes” is only three episodes in but Usher Raymond’s ex-wife Tameka is already disappointed in the direction the show has taken. Tameka Raymond Upset Over Drama On “Atlanta Exes” Caused By Producers Messy Decisions BOSSIP caught up with Raymond this week and she opened up about bumping heads with Torrei Hart and Sheree Buchanan and shared some details about how show producers have helped amp up the “messy” factor. In the first few episodes, castmates Hart and Buchanan complain that Raymond is “mean,” but the image consultant, mother-of-five (her son Kile died two summers ago following a boating accident) says she wasn’t surprised things took that turn. “I think I was an easy target for the “mean girl role,” Raymond told BOSSIP. “I think every reality show has to have a “villain” so it’s not a surprise to me that I’m the one designated to be that on this one.” She conceded that her Town girl roots (she hail from Oakland) and background as a stylist have only added to her opinionated personality. “Everyone around me knows I’m opinionated, but that’s not to be confused with being judgmental,” Raymond says. “I’m not saying you’re gonna go to hell if you wear a white bra. I was paid to be opinionated for so long as a wardrobe consultant. I was paid a lot of money to give my opinion especially in terms of style. I only give my opinion to people I care about. It’s not like I do it to strangers on the street.” Ironically, some of the women were relative strangers before filming the show. Raymond revealed that she only met Torrei Hart a week before filming began, but she blames their on camera clashing on their mutual outspokenness. “I think she was a perfect target as well, to put up against me,” Raymond said of producers’ decision to make conflict between the two women one of the main focal points of the show. “I think they have two outspoken people bump heads and we were both easy targets because we both speak our minds.” Hit the flip for more on Tameka Raymond’s feud with Torrei Hart from her point of view… Instagram/Robert Ector
