And the emails keep coming about Eric and DeShawn Snow. I don’t know what the fascination is about these two but apparently the revelation of Eric’s cheatin’ ways is not surprising to those who knew the couple.
An “anonymous” source recently sent details of how everyone on the set of the Housewives knew the ‘perfect’ union was a farce and now everyone’s sitting around saying “I told you so”…
During the first season of the real housewives of Atlanta, Deshawns husband would be on camera talking to other women on the phone, flirting with other women and/or cursing her out all on camera as if no one was watching. A couple of times, the producers had to remind him that the cameras were recording.
Eric was extremely confident with his cheating, athlete wives deal with a lot of infidelity, but as you know, most of them dont care, or care but wont leave because they are scared some one else will get what they have, “the life” you know money, fancy living, all access and heart break.
But I’m happy for her. as you can tell, she has had low self esteem for quite some time. Her role on the housewives was basically non-existent, because she was trying to portray such an immaculate perception. When in all actuality she had the most blatantly f*cked up relationship.
Drama and real “Reality” is much more commercial/ popular/ entertaining on tv today, than people trying to be perfect. Even soap operas which did well in the early 90′s had drama. Dont think for one minute that these women/men who participate in these reality shows dont know that they are potentially going to be exposed. I bet she wishes she were still on the show now to remain relevant. Yes she will get a nice pay off, but a life of tv and entertainment not so much.
Here comes the drama. Maybe RHOA will call up DeShawn for a walk on this 3rd season. Contrary to her first stint on the show, it’s quite obvious that she’ll bring in ratings this time…

Wow. Ms. Anonymous was quite harsh. Eric didn’t seem that bad on the show, a little distant but WOW. I didn’t “get” that DeShawn had low self-esteem on the show either. She was quite lovely. I wish her the best.
Have you ever seen that show on PBS called, "Keeping Up Appearances?" Well, the old lady on the show is DeShawn. DeShawn was not real and really thought that she was better than anyone who she came in contact with. DeShawn, just because your "husband" has money doesn’t mean that you can stick your nose up in the air and look down on people. Also, I believe Eric got bored with you because you went over board with that religious spirtual kick that you are on. Too excessive!!!
A man wants some excitement and he found it. I hate to see another family break up, but it takes two to make a marriage work. Eric was on the road most of the time and didn’t have to deal with DeShawn and their kids on a daily basis. So when he went into retirement, real life kicked in and I think he was not happy. They basically out grew one another and that happens alot in marriages. But in DeShawn’s defense, Eric had no right to go out there and disrepect his family. Not a good look bringing a "bastard out of wedlock child in the mix.".
@Tameka… Sounds PERSONAL, are the “side piece” that’s carrying Eric’s baby? Seems as though you know DeShawn… giving advice and being all judgemental. DANG. Jus sayin…
[...] source told Straight From The A that apparently when the cameras were rolling away so was Eric’s mouth . Eric seems to have [...]
To Tameka, I agree…I also need to see if I can find that show you’re talking about on-line. Anyhow, perhaps there could be a point that DeShawn had low self-esteem….I got the impression that she hid behind her husband’s money and her so-called foundation ALOT. Usually when people have to comment on/brag about and flaunt what they have and who/what their husband is, it’s to "cover up" an emptiness inside or the insecurities. I think she did it by having a superiority complex. I think the insecurities were likely due to the lack of affection and attention she didn’t receive from her husband when he was home, for one reason or another. It’s like she had to show her worth through money or it’s like she distracted herself by spending. Assuming it’s true, I’m not saying it is right for Eric to do what he did, but any man that really wanted to be in his marriage would try to make a mends despite his indiscretions, beg for forgiveness, and not file for divorce (hence Kobe Bryant for example). Generally, I would say that when an athlete is also a family man, they look forward to making up the lost time with their wife and child/children when he is retiring/retired. Although they were college sweethearts, he probably just didn’t see or know DeShawn as the same woman. It’s likely DeShawn became more consumed with "the life" than being just "Mrs. Snow" regardless of what HE bought to the table, and it turned him off because the women on the road is about what the athlete has and not about who he is as a man. That’s not what he expected from his wife/college sweetheart. Remember the comment she made after her fundraiser fiasco about loving him because he "…lets her make all those expensive mistakes….." when he had to pick up the tab to make up for the lack of "funds" that were raised and pay the difference for services rendered. I really don’t think that man wanted to through such an ostentatious event IN HIS HOME. But she wanted to show off. Not once did she apologize or show sympathy for a retiring man to dig into his account to pay for such a catastrophe. She cried for HERSELF ALONE, not for those girls or her husband…the image did not come into line like SHE knew it should have.I mean she didn’t even want to take the advice of veteran Atlanta hostesses and socialites about how to properly do a fundraiser. Also,….a governess? I mean I honestly think that people can/should spend their money on whatever they see fit but I seriously doubt her husband agreed with the majority of her spending sprees on any and every little detail of one thing or another ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE TECHNICALLY DOES NOT WORK….a college graduate with no job but she spends like there’s no tomorrow. It seems like in the end, she has only made herself useful to PORTRAY THE HIGH LIFE OF being an NBA wife. I mean on and on….anyone can speculate but most men don’t just get up and end a marriage, especially when there’s children involved. Things build up over time or even one thing remains unchanged and can be unbearable to live with.
Get whatever you "earned" and move on. Make sure your sons are protected financially, educationally, medically, and spiritually. No need to waste emotion on a person that has already moved on.
Do you now without having to worry about doing him.
I hope Deshawn hits Eric up for all that he has. He should have divorced her before he felt as if he wanted to make a baby with a family friend. I guess he never thought about how this would affect his sons. Dirt bag.
Knowing Eric personally, I believe he was not feeling DeShawn’s “high life” living at his expense. Both of them came from humble beginnings ane he is still down to earth and appreciates what is real just like he was raised. DeShawn forgot where she came from. Like in the episode where she wanted special foods brought in for her family’s visit and Eric said when his family comes they would eat what’s in the house, because that is how he is. He deserves somebody that will love him for who he is, not what he has.
All you stupid women out there blaming DeShawn for Eric’s behavior you need to stop. What ever happened to personal responsibility. This is why men always have and always will cheat. Stupid women blame the wives and the girlfriends of cheating men. Men have brother hood women lack sister hood. They never hold men accountable. No matter what she did, how much weight she gained, how much money she spent, it doesn’t take away from the fact that he chose to cheat. Hello! all those who blame her are probably little side tricks for married men.
Athlete wives go thru alot of drama,heartache and loneliness,so they have to cover it up by shopping,spending etc….there is an episode where Deshawn admitted that she cant wait for Eric to retire so they can be a complete family once again….Eric didnt even have a specila bond with those kids and n the long run its dangerous coz when your kids grow up,they lose the connection from the absentee father coz he was never home.
I found the boys quite spoilt and without a father around,what do u expect?
Granted,Deshawn went overboard on the high life status,but if Eric really wanted to mend his marriage,he would.
Y’all should watch basketball wives and see what Im talking about……..
Good luck to Deshawn and the boys.
Blaming DeShaun is not the answer, he will get bored with this woman and do the same. They were together since college, at least he could of divorceher before he had another child. It is not about self esteem issues, money and all that made for T.V. stuff. When she was on HWOA she did not appear as a money hungry person, she had a husband that she was with since college, she did not marry him for money. So coming down on her is not right.
I’m in total shock to hear that Eric and Deshawn are getting a divorce. I thought they had a great marriage(just to show tv is fake). My heart goes out to Dehawn and the boys. Its one thing to go out and cheat, but another to make a baby. Deshawn take him to the bank, you deserve it all. Something for the cheater (men/women) think about the people that you hurt, because those are the people that you will need one day. Just be honest with that yourself and your partner.
My name and Mary and worked for the family snow for 2 years of my life in Philadelphia. I always cheer for this wonderful couple from afar and admire her and she was Nanny EJ his eldest son. Both are very special people in my life even after years and dem far I am shocked by this news of divorce. I know it must be hard for it already and that a good and sensitive person but I believe they are going to overcome this phase. DeShawn much like to get in touch with you for many years I have tried and not succeeded, I hope from the bottom of my heart that God bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Solange DeSousa (Maria).
@t them hating ass bitch she dont want all her stuff on tv damn yhu hating ass hoe yal wish yal had all that money but yal broke ass dont so stop trying to go on deshawn she jus didnt get in fight because she dont start shit and did she ever say she was perfet and who wouldnt want to be perfet
People are always ready to here the D word, yes DeShawn spend alot of money on things that did not make her money but she had a good time and that is all that really matters; and if you recall Eric did not have a problem with it. I think as a whole we should not judge the family because clearly the other woo-mann is a gold digger, and ERIC is a WEAK-WEAK-WEAK PUNCK ASS SO CALLED MAN with a little BOY’S MIND and ERIC BABY YOU DO NOT LOOK THAT GOOD ANY WAY, to the EAST COAST YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE A VERY WEAK WANT TO BE PLAYER WITH NO GAME NOW BABY YOU ARE FINISH IN OUR BOOK. DeShawn Girl KEEP YOUR HEAD UP and take care of your BOYS Because that is really what matters, LOTS OF LOVE GIRL THE EAST COAST BABY.
