Real Housewives of Atlanta: Deshawn

I think you're sweet but ditzy most times. You seem to have a husband who is supportive and loves and provides for his family. Don't ruin it for your family--the show makes it appear as if ur a lazy consuming spendriff. Even understanding editing he will not favor the way you were portrayed. You even mentioned trading in his jewelry to get you some more because he doesn't wear it *blank stare* Get out of the isle of delusia. Also the girls involved in your foundation should be privy to more than just NeNe "catwalking" pair these young ladies with young professionals in fields that they may aspire to be one day. Your foundation seems to simply lack substance. Get it right and then take it national once you have succeeded—people will open their wallets. Be blessed.

Deshawn please get rid of all those people that your are going to hire to take care of your family. I know you have the money to pay for all those people but come on a strong sister can run her house her self. If you can't watch our how THE FIRST LADY is going to do it and has been doing it amongst all she has had to deal with over the past year. Eric is on NBA TV now so please cut back on the spending and spend more time with the boys.1 one luv.

Deshawn, a shining moment was when your husband consoled you the morning after your event flopped. He offered practical words of wisdom. From that I was able to gauge how much you are loved and supported, but from the snippets of your life on the show, you seem to only have a desire to be seen as and be among the so called Atlanta elite. A staff of 7 to run "your" home? Spending thirty thousand on your fundraiser without proper planning. You are an idealist and seem to have a big heart, but hopefully your husband's sensible ways will rub off on you. Your foundation is definitely needed and will help a lot of young ladies.,but you do it a disservice by only focusing on the glitz and the glamour.

Deshawn and Ne Ne are great. Two Black Women whom are confident, and real. I have 5 children and a husband, and have no outside help. I would be lying if I say I was not envious of all the help she is able to screen and hire. I really don't care for the other wives...Sheree... a bit of unhappiness there. She has showed us money does not fix everything. Kim...I don't have to say anything, and Lisa where are your boys? Mrs. Lisa exhibitionism is too obvious. Ne Ne and Deshawn I hope the 2 foundations are a success. Much props to your tithing ....if anyone hates on something God commands us to do...you already know the rest. Deshawn you have a beautiful family! NeNe what a supportive hubby...keep it real, and I will keep watching.

Deshawn you seem to be a truly nice person. We ususally don't see ourselves the way others do. Enjoy your husband, children and your home they are an extension of you. Enjoy the simple things like cooking for you husband watching a movie at home with your family. I think that it is wonderful that you guys are financially comfortable STAY that way and stop spending because you can. Invest more in your family Deshawn you are beautiful and your husband adores you make him proud and stop spending unnessary money!

DeShawn ~must you broadcast that you cant handle your household and you dont want to have to deal with 'them' also no employer can demand a person show their last income..are you the Federal Government at tax time? Of course not, your just married to a basketball player. Your going downstairs to get your hair done? Cut back on all that weave as it was seen in the last episode your edges are quite thin! Oh, the word Jewelry should be prounced as such not 'jewry' which is a noun for Jewish people. Wow-if you're going to have such expensive pieces in your presence it would behoove you to pronouce the item correctly. I dont mean to cut you down but if your going to represent please come correct. By the way your pictures are nice. Keepin it real

You Go Girl ! I've had the pleasure of watching the show a few times and you've always seemed to truly honor your marriage and your children. I saddens me that african-america women find it so difficult to be happy for their sisters. It's true that many of us don't get the opportunity to live in our dream home and experience love and wealth on the same level as you, but that does not keep me from being greatful for your successes. I also admire the fact that you are giving back. You didn't forget about where you came from and are making a difference in the lives of those you touch. Don't give up the fight !
